In order that you may enjoy this high-quality and comfortable video recorder for
a long time it is very important that you observe the following points when instal-
ling the recorder.
This video recorder is intended for the reception, recording and reproduction of
TV picture and sound signals.
Any other application is expressly prohibited.
If the recorder is exposed to drastic temperature changes, for example when
taking it from a cold to a warm place, connect the recorder to the mains supply
and let it stand at the new place for at least two hours without a cassette loaded.
The recorder is intended for use in dry rooms. If you wish to operate it in the open
air, make absolutely sure that it is protected against moisture (rain, splashes of
water). Do not expose the recorder or the cassette to any moisture.
Place the recorder on a flat and hard surface. Do not place any objects (e.g.
newspapers) on the recorder and no tablecloth or similar below the recorder.
Do not place the recorder in the immediate vicinity of a heat source or in direct
sunlight as this would prevent appropriate cooling. Keep the recorder away from
magnetic fields (e.g. loudspeakers).
Never insert any foreign objects into the cassette compartment. This might
damage the high-value mechanism.
Never open the recorder. Damage caused by unqualified work is not covered by
the manufacturer’s guarantee.
Do not place any object filled with water (vases and similar) on the recorder. The
object might fall over and the liquid spilling into the unit would impair its electrical
safety.
Thunderstorms are a danger for any electrical appliance. Even when switched
off, the recorder might be damaged by lightning striking the mains supply and/or
the aerial lead. During a thunderstorm you must always disconnect the mains and
aerial plugs.
For this video recorder, technology and ecology form a convincing overall idea.
Only ecologically high-grade materials are used. The packing consist of almost
100% recycled paper, its plastic parts have been reduced to a minimum. The
batteries supplied are free of mercury and cadmium. For environmental reasons
no buffer battery is used. To enable a high-grade recycling after use, the number
of plastic parts has consequently been reduced. All large plastic parts are
marked. To facilitate service and for optimum recycling, this device has been
designed in a specially disassembly-friendly and recycling-friendly way.

Notes:
If the TV set is equipped with the Megalogic function, the video recorder and
the TV set must be connected via the EURO-AV cable supplied, see point 3.
If you wish to connect a satellite receiver equipped with a SAT control socket to
the video recorder, this must be done before carrying out the settings. Start
with step 2 of the example.
Connecting the aerial, TV set, satellite receiver and
mains cable
1 Connect the aerial cable from the domestic aerial with the aerial socket
»ANTENNA IN« of the video recorder.
2 Connect the aerial cable supplied with the »RF OUT« socket of the video
recorder and the aerial socket of the TV set.
3 If the TV set is equipped with one or several EURO-AV sockets:
connect the EURO-AV cable supplied with the »LINE1(I) IN/OUT« socket
of the video recorder and the AV 1 socket of the TV set.
– The advantage of this connection is a better picture and sound quality
during playback.
– The stereo sound can be played back via a stereo TV set only via this
connection.

mands, the batteries may be exhausted. Exhausted batteries must be remo-
ved.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage resulting from
battery leakage.
Environmental protection

Adjusting the TV set to the video recorder
This adjustment is not necessary if the video recorder and the TV set are con-
nected with a EURO-AV cable.
Preparation
Switch the TV set on.
Select the »AV« programme position for video playback via the aerial socket.
Consult also the user manual of your TV set.
Note:
The video recorder must be in standby mode (not in the energy-saver mode).
Adjustment

for a “free“ channel on which no TV programme is received (only picture and
sound noise).
– Many TV sets display the channel number.
2 Store the “free” channel number on the TV set.
– For this consult the user manual of the TV set.
3 Press and hold down for about three seconds the »INFO« button on the video
recorder.
– »
CH 36 RF
« , for example, is displayed on the video recorder.
4 Using the »

« buttons, tune through the channels on the video recorder
until the picture from the recorder appears on the picture screen of the TV set.
5 If the picture quality of the “recorder picture” is good, store the setting with the
» OK « button.
– The video recorder switches to standby.
Note:
If the quality of the “recorder picture” is poor, or the picture quality of one or
more TV programmes on the TV set gets worse, you must search a different
“free” channel on the TV set. For this, repeat the steps 1 to 5.

Channel programming with the automatic tuning
system ATS euro plus
The recorder has a built-in receiver. It can therefore receive and record television
programmes independently of the TV set.
For this, you must programme the TV channels on the video recorder.
When carrying out this function, the time is automatically updated, provided a TV
programme with teletext is received on programme position 1.
If the time has not been set automatically, it must be set manually as described in
the chapter “Setting the Time and Date” on page 37.
84 programme positions are available which can be assigned as desired to TV
channels received via the aerial, the cable system or a satellite receiver.
If a TV set equipped with the Megalogic functions is connnected to the video
recorder, the TV channels programmed on the TV set are automatically trans-
ferred to the video recorder when carrying out channel programming.
If a satellite receiver equipped with a SAT control socket is connected to the video
recorder, the channels programmed on the satellite receiver are transferred to the
station table of the video recorder.
Preparation
Switch the TV set on.
Select the »AV« programme position for video playback on the TV set.

RECORDING
____________________________________________________________________
The three recording options
With your video recorder you may record programmes in three different ways:
1 Right away, that is you select the desired programme on the video recorder
then start recording.
2 At a later time using the ShowView number.
3 At a later time by entering the data of the desired TV programme if you do not
know the ShowView numbers.
For the recording modes 2 and 3, you can enter the recording data for
eight different broadcasts over a period of one year or for dayly or weekly
recordings at the same time. Your favourite broadcasts will automatically be
recorded via the Video Programme System (VPS) which is controlled by the TV
broadcasters.
The video programme system (VPS/PDC)
If your programmed recordings are controlled via this system, the desired
programme will always completely be recorded.
Notes on the video programme system
Many TV stations broadcast an additional programme-related (VPS/PDC) signal
which indicates the start and duration of each individual TV programme. It is
therefore important when programming the recorder to enter the switch-on and
switch-off times to the exact minute.
If TV programmes are altered or moved, special VPS/PDC times are indicated in
the programme guides. They must be entered instead of the normal starting times.
TV programmes without VPS/PDC signal
With TV stations that do not transmit a VPS/PDC signal, recording is only started
by the switch-on time and only ended by the switch-off time.
This does not depend on whether the VPS/PDC signal is confirmed or cleared
when programming recordings.
Programming several TV programmes on one day
If you wish to record several TV programmes on one day, you must decide which
one is to be recorded completely if there is a risk of alterations to timing.
TV programmes from a satellite receiver with aerial
positioner
When programming recordings of TV programmes from different satellites, the
VPS signal is to be programmed for one aerial position only as otherwise the
motor of the aerial positioner could be overloaded.
