INSTALLATION : HOW DO I
CONNECT THE VIDEO RECORDER
TO THE TV SET ?
2
Your video recorder is simiiar to a ‘TV set without a screen”.
It must therefore be connected to both the aerial and the TV set in
order for you to be able to view recorded cassettes.
Connecting to the mains
O
Insert the female plug of the mains lead into the mains socket
at the rear of the video recorder.
O The plug at the other end of the mains lead must be inserted into
the wall socket.
Further instructions for use :
• The video recorder should remain connected to the mains at all
times to ensure that timed recordings can be made. The power
consumption in the stand by mode is very low.
No additional control button is required to activate the video recor­
der. It will switch itself on when a cassette is loaded or when any of
the tape transport buttons are pressed (e.g. || ■).
• If the video recorder has been switched to ‘stand by’ by
pressing the button (1), the display will only show the time e.g.:
• This video recorder has a stand by (switch off) button.
When you press this button (!), all video recorder functions are
interrupted.
If you get into operating difficulties, you may use this button to cancel
the function and start again from the beginning.
Connecting the aerial
*4nQO>"^
Remove the aerial cable from your TV set and plug it into the socket
nr at the back of the video recorder.
Take the aerial cable supplied and connect it to the socket 0 on
the video recorder and to the aerial input socket on your TV.
The TV set and the videorecorder are now connected to the aerial.

Connecting to your TV set
The connection to the TV set can be made in two different ways. The
kind of connection you choose depends on the TV model you
possess.
Method 1:
If your TV set has a 21-pin AV-Euroconnector (Scart-socket):
We suggest that you use an AV-Eurocable (scart-cable). This will
guarantee the best possible connection between the TV set and the
videorecorder. Consult your dealer for the correct cable.
О
Connect the corresponding socket on the TV set and the video­
recorder socket EXTERNAL 1 using an AV-Eurocable.
О Set the MOD
I/O
selector at the rear of the video recorder in
position O.
О If you wish to play back a cassette, all you have to do is to select
programme ‘AV’(= Audio Video-input) on the TV set.
On some TV sets the switching takes place automatically.
Method 2 :
If your TV set isn’t provided with a 21-pin AV-Euroconnector:
The aerial cable which is already in place, will act as the connection
between the TV set and the video recorder.
In orderto play the cassette (i.e. to produce the image on the screen)
a programme number for the video recorder must be stored in the
TV set. This works in the same way as storing a TV channel.
For example BBC 1 can be stored on number ‘1', BBC 2 on number
‘2’, ITV on number ‘3’ and so on.
If your TV set has a number reserved for the video recorder, then
select this number.
If your TV set hasn’t a special programme number reserved for the
video recorder playback, you could, for example, choose
programme number ‘8’.
Next, you have to select the right ‘frequency’, this works in the same
way as tuning in to a radio station. The video recorder transmits ‘its
programme’ on the UHF channel 37.
Your TV set must be tuned to receive this channel.
Next, you have to select the right ‘frequency’, this works in the same
way as tuning in to a radio station. The video recorder transmits ‘its
programme’ on the UHF band IV-V.
Your TV set must be tuned to receive the video recorder channel.
