Safety Warnings
Your VCR is supplied with
an approved 13 amp fused
mains plug. When
replacing the fuse always
use a 3 amp (BS 1362)
approved type.
To obtain a replacement
fuse contact your store.
Never use this plug if the
fuse cover is missing. To
obtain a replacement fuse
cover contact your store.
If the mains sockets in your
home differ or are not
suitable for the type of plug
supplied, then the plug
should be cut from the
mains lead and a suitable
type fitted. You must use a
13amp plug (BS 1363) and
fit a 3 amp fuse (BS 1362).
If any other type of plug is
used a 3 amp fuse must be
fitted, either in the plug,
adaptor or at the
distribution board. Please
refer to the wiring
instructions on page 12 of
this book.
Damage - Never use your VCR if it
is damaged in any way. Always place
your VCR on a flat level surface
avoiding anywhere which may be
subject to strong vibration.
Weather - It is advisable to unplug
the aerial during an electrical storm.
Moisture - Do not allow your VCR
to be exposed to rain, moisture, dust.
If any liquid is spilt into your VCR it
can cause serious damage. If you spill
any liquid into your VCR switch it off
at the mains immediately. Contact
your store.
Interference
Do not place your VCR on or near
appliances which may cause
electromagnetic interference (TV or Hi-
Fi speakers). If you do, it may
adversely affect the working of the
unit, causing erratic playback,
distorted picture or sound.
Temperature
Avoid extremes of temperature, either
hot or cold, place your VCR well
away from heat sources such as
radiators or gas/electric fires.
Ventilation
The VCR must be well ventilated. Do
not cover your VCR or place inside a
small confined space. It is
recommended that you leave a 10cm
gap all around your VCR.
Batteries
Batteries are easily swallowed by
young children. Do not allow young
children to play with the remote
control unit.
Covers - Do not remove any fixed
covers as this may expose dangerous
voltages.

tape’s picture on your TV screen (picture
search) press PLAY then either REW or
F.FWD.
REVIEW, ‘REVEW’ or ‘CUE’ will appear in the
VCR display.
The speed of the search time depends on
the speed used during recording, either
standard play (SP) or long play (LP).
Standard Play (SP)
1st press 5 times normal speed
2nd press 7 times normal speed
(NTSC times are slower)
Long Play (LP)
1st press 7 times normal speed
2nd press 13 times normal speed
Press PLAY to return to normal playback.
Your VCR can playback
video tapes recorded using
the NTSC colour system (TV
system usually used in USA
and Japan) on a PAL I TV (TV
system used in the UK).
Play an NTSC tape as you
would a normal VHS tape.
Your VCR will playback NTSC
tapes recorded using
Standard play (SP), Long
play (LP) and Extended play
(EP). However, there will be a
deterioration in sound quality
in the LP and EP modes.
If your TV supports the NTSC
system, the picture from your
VCR will fill the whole screen,
if not, the picture will have a
black band at the top and
bottom of the screen.
Please note that there will be
no sound during PAUSE.

been made on a VCR tape.
••
••Occasionally, when a recording starts at the very beginning of a VCR tape
the index mark will be missed.
••
••When your VCR is searching for an index mark it will not fast forward or
rewind as fast as normal because it is searching for the index marks.
••
••A maximum of 9 index marks can be searched on a single VCR tape.
The Video index
search system
allows you to
easily locate the
beginning of any
recording made on
your VCR.
Your VCR
automatically
records index
marks on the tape
whenever a
recording is
started. Video
index search will
not work with
most pre-recorded
tapes.

How to connect your VCR to a Hi-Fi
You can connect your VCR directly to your Hi-Fi with an audio (phono) lead.
11
11All connections must be made with both your VCR and Hi-Fi unplugged from the mains supply.
22
22Connect one end into the SCART socket on the back of your VCR.
33
33Connect the other end to the audio in sockets (or SCART socket) on the back of your Hi-Fi.
44
44Press the PLAY button on your VCR to play the video sound track through the speakers of a Hi-Fi system. The sound from
your VCR through your Hi-Fi will be mono not stereo.
55
55Due to the wide variety of Hi-Fi equipment, the information on this page should be used only as guidance. Refer to your
Hi-Fi’s Instruction Book for more details.
••
••If your VCR is connected to a TV using a SCART lead, a video tape when played will automatically be displayed
on the TV irrespective of the channel you are watching (unlike "normal" RF aerial connection where you must use a
nominated channel).
••
••The AV button on your VCR provides a convenient method of switching between an appliance connected to the
SCART socket (e.g. a Satellite Receiver) or TV stations received by your 'normal' aerial connected to the AERIAL
SOCKET of your VCR.
••
••If you do not have anything plugged into the SCART SOCKET of your VCR and you press AV the screen will go
blank. Press AV again and your TV will display the last station viewed on your VCR.

Wiring Instructions
Record Protection Tab
Record Protection Tab
When you insert a video cassette with the record protection tab removed (for example a pre-recorded tape from a
video hire shop) playback will start straight away.
Automatic video head cleaning
The video heads are the means by which the VCR reads pictures from the tape during playback. In the unlikely
event that they become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture will be played back. This can easily be determined
if during playback of a known good tape, there is good sound but no picture (picture is extremely snowy). The auto
head cleaning system cleans the video heads automatically when a video cassette is inserted and ejected, this will
prevent dirt from accumulating on the heads. Manual cleaning may still be necessary in some cases, if this is the
case, have the VCR checked and cleaned by qualified Mastercare personnel. Head cleaning cartridges are not
recommended because they can be abrasive to your video heads. To help prevent video head clogging, use only
good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.
To prevent accidental
erasure of a
recording, break off
the record protection
tab with a
screwdriver.
If you need to record onto a tape that the tab
has been removed from, cover the hole with a
small piece of adhesive tape.
Warning: If the mains plug is cut from the mains lead of this appliance the plug must be destroyed. A mains plug
with bared wires is hazardous if engaged in a mains output socket.
The wires in your VCR mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following:-
The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter N or
coloured Black.
The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter L or
coloured Red.
No connection must be made to the earth terminal of the plug.
You must use a 13 amp plug (BS 1363), and fit a 3 amp fuse (BS 1362).
If any other type of plug is used a 3 amp fuse must be fitted, either in the plug, adaptor or at the distribution board.
