recorder is working as expected. If you wish to add items such as Hi Fi amplifiers, add one item at once and

en

sure it is working before adding another item.

Switching on.

Connect to a suitable mains supply (110 – 240V

AC 50/60 Hz). The recorder will take approx 30 seconds

be

fore the digital display lights up. This is normal, you will, in this time hear the DVD player mechanism

activating.

Pr

ess the Standby button. The display will blank for a few seconds and then the message “HELLO” will be

shown

. “READ” will then be displayed, and as this is the first time the recorder is used it will then show “NO

DISC

”.

The TV screen will now display the “Splash Screen” and also will display “NO DISC”
