Important notes for users in U.K.

Mains plug

This apparatus is  tted with an approved 13

Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug

proceed as follows:

1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362

5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

3 Re t the fuse cover.

If the  tted plug is not suitable for your socket

outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate

plug  tted in its place.

If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should

have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse

is used, the fuse at the distribution board

should not be greater than 5 Amp.

Note: The severed plug must be disposed off to

avoid a possible shock hazard should it be

inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with

the following code: blue = neutral (N),

brown = live (L).

z

As these colours may not correspond with the

colour markings identifying the terminals in your

plug, proceed as follows:

– Connect the blue wire to the terminal

marked N or coloured black.

– Connect the brown wire to the terminal

marked L or coloured red.

– Do not connect either wire to the earth

terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or

coloured green (or green and yellow).

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain

that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of

the lead - not simply over the two wires.

Care and Safety Information

CAUTION!

High voltage! Do not open the

device. You run the risk of getting

an electric shock.

The machine does not contain any

user-serviceable parts. Please leave

all maintenance work to quali ed

personnel.

Setup precautions

Finding a suitable location

– Place the set on a  at, hard and stable

surface. Do not place the set on a carpet.

– Do not place the set on top of other

equipment that might heat it up (e.g.,

receiver or ampli er).

– Do not put anything above or under

the set (e.g., CDs, magazines).

– Install this unit near the AC outlet and

where the AC power plug can be

reached easily.

Space for ventilation

– Keep the distances 20 cm around

apparatus of ventilation openings. Do

not place the device on an unsteady base.

– The mains plug shall remain readily

operable.

10cm (4.5")

5cm (2.3")

Avoid high temperature, moisture,

water and dust

– Apparatus should not be exposed to

dripping or splashing.

– Do not place any object or items that

can damage the apparatus (e.g., liquid

 lled objects, lighted candles).

Cleaning discs

Some problems occur (frozen picture,

sound disruptions, picture distortions)

because the disc in the apparatus is dirty.

To avoid these problems, discs should be

cleaned on a regular basis.

To clean a disc, use a micro  bre cleaning

cloth and wipe the disc from centre to

the edge in straight line movement.

CAUTION!

Do not use solvents such as benzene,

thinner, commercially available cleaners,

or anti-static sprays for discs.

Since the optical unit (laser) of the

recorder operates at a higher power than

regular DVD or CD players, Cleaning CD

intended for DVD or CD players may

damage the optical unit (laser).

Therefore, refrain from using a Cleaning

CD.

About recycling

printed on non-polluting paper. This

electronic equipment contains a large

number of materials that can be recycled.

Step 1: Basic Recorder Connections

Connecting the antenna

cables

These connections enable you to watch

and record TV programmes using the

recorder. If the antenna signal is

connected via Cable Box or Satellite

Receiver, ensure that these devices are

turned on in order to watch or record

the cable programmes.



If you want to connect to a Cable

Box/Satellite Receiver, see the

chapter “Step 2 : Optional Connections

– Connecting to a Cable Box or Satellite

Receiver” for the complete connections

to your TV.

A

Connect the existing Antenna/Satellite

Receiver/Cable TV signal (labelled as RF

OUT or TO TV) to the ANTENNA-IN

socket on the recorder.

B

Use the supplied RF coaxial cable to

connect the TV-OUT socket on the

recorder to the antenna input socket (or

labelled as VHF/UHF RF IN) on your TV.

Helpful Hint:

– Depending on how you have currently

connected your TV channel (directly from an

off-air antenna or Cable box or VCR), you

may have to disconnect some of the cables

before you make the antenna connection.

TIPS: Before making or changing any connections, make sure that all the devices are disconnected

from the power outlet.
