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 position 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
Place the apparatus in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent internal
heat build up. Allow at least 10 cm (4”)
clearance from the rear and the top of
the set and 5cm (2”) from the left and
right to prevent overheating.
Avoid high temperatures, moisture,
water and dust
Apparatus shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing.
Do not place any sources of danger on
the apparatus (e.g., liquid  lled objects,
lighted candles.)
Cleaning discs
Some problems occur (frozen picture,
sound disruptions, picture distortions)
because the disc inside the unit 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 the center
to the edge in a straight line.
CAUTION!
Do not use solvents such as benzene,
thinner, commercially available cleaners,
or anti-static sprays intended for discs.
Since the optical unit (laser) of the
recorder operates at a higher power than
regular DVD or CD players, cleaning
CDs intended for DVD or CD players
may damage the optical unit (laser.)
Therefore, refrain from using a cleaning
CD.
About recycling
These operating instructions have been
printed on non-polluting paper. This
electronic equipment contains a large
number of materials that can be recycled.
If you are disposing of an old machine,
please take it to a recycling center. Please
observe the local regulations regarding
disposal of packaging materials, exhausted
batteries, and old equipment.

Step 1: Basic Recorder Connections
Connecting the antenna
cables
These connections enable you to watch
and record TV programs using this
recorder. If the antenna signal is
connected via a VCR, Cable Box or
Satellite Receiver, ensure that these

jack on the
recorder.
B
Use the supplied RF coaxial cable to
connect the TV-OUT
jack on the
recorder to the antenna input jack on
your TV (VHF/UHF RF IN.)
Helpful Hint:
Depending on how you have currently
connected your TV channel (directly from an
off-air antenna or Cable box or VCR), you
will have to disconnect some of the cables
before you make the above connection.
TIPS: Before making or changing any connections, make sure that all the devices are disconnected
from the power outlet.

allows the VCR to be used for playback if
the recorder is turned off.
Before you start...
Your new recorder can replace the
VCR for all your recording needs.
Just unplug all the connections from
your VCR.
A
Connect the Antenna/Cable TV signal to
the ANTENNA-IN
jack on the
recorder.
B
Use a RF coaxial cable to connect the
TV-OUT
jack on the recorder to
the antenna input jack on your TV (VHF/
UHF RF IN.)
C
Use the audio/video cables to connect
the VIDEO (CVBS)/ AUDIO INPUT
(red/whote/yellow) jacks on the recorder
to the matching VIDEO/AUDIO output
jacks on the VCR.

Use the audio/video cables to connect the
VIDEO (CVBS)/ AUDIO OUTPUT
(red/whote/yellow) jacks on the recorder

Helpful Hints:
Most commercial video cassettes and
DVDs are copy-protected and therefore
cannot be recorded.
Connect the recorder directly to the
TV. If there is a VCR or an additional device
in between, the picture quality may be poor
because of the copy protection system built
into the recorder.
