current on and off. " " shows electrical power standby and " " shows ON.

Video tapes recorded with this video recorder in the LP (Long Play) mode cannot be played back on a single-

speed video recorder.

... in an environment prone to extreme temperatures or humidity.

... in direct sunlight.

... in a dusty environment.

... in an environment where strong magnetic fields are generated.

... on a surface that is unstable or subject to vibration.

Moisture in the air will condense on the recorder when you move it from a cold place to a warm place, or under

extremely humid conditions—just as water droplets form in the surface of a glass filled with cold liquid. Moisture

condensation on the head drum will cause damage to the tape. In conditions where condensation may occur, keep

the recorder turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry.

After an extended period of use, the video heads can become dirty, resulting in a loss of picture or sound during

playback. If this happens, clean the video heads by using the optional cleaning tapes.

● The picture is not clear, or does not appear.

There is no sound.

● Mosaic (block) noise appears in the picture.

● Black or mosaic horizontal stripes appear in the

picture.

● The picture stops (as if the tape is paused).

● A blank black or blue screen appears.

● The picture is fuzzy. (VHS playback)

Some Do's And Don'ts On The Safe

Use Of Equipment

read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.

ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnec-

tions between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer's

instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.

consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equip-

ment.

be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.

continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is

damaged in any way — switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.

remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.

leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is de-

signed for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the

equipment and make sure that your family knows how to do this. Special arrangements may need

to be made for infirm or handicapped people.

use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements

of road safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.

listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing.

obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings. Overheat-

ing will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.

use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always

fit the manufacturer's approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instruc-

tions.

allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.

—

let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the

case — this could result in a fatal electrical shock;

guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than

sorry!

ATTENTION:

You can not use the recorder connected to your TV only with the RF cable. This is because the RF cable does not deliver signal

from the recorder. Your TV must have a 21-pin AV input connector (SCART) to connect to the recorder.

To connect to a TV with 21-pin AV input connector (SCART) . . .

Disconnect the TV aerial cable from the TV.

Connect the provided SCART cable between the AV1 IN/OUT

socket on the rear panel of the recorder and the TV’s 21-pin

AV input connector (SCART).

Connect the TV aerial cable to the ANT. IN jack on the rear

panel of the recorder.

Connect the provided RF cable between the ANT. OUT jack on

the rear panel of the recorder and the TV’s aerial connector.

Set the

switch to the appropriate position. See "AV1

INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL SELECTION FOR AV CONNEC-

TION" below.

The AV1 IN/OUT connector accepts and delivers either a composite signal (regular video signal) or a Y/C signal (a signal in which the

luminance and chrominance signals are separated). For input signal selection, select "VIDEO" (regular video signal) or "S-VIDEO"

(Y/C signal) for "AV1 SELECT" setting (੬ pg. 50). For output signal selection, use the

switch on the rear panel.

● If your TV's 21-pin AV input connector (SCART) is compatible only with the regular video signal, set this switch to COMP.

● If your TV's 21-pin AV input connector (SCART) is compatible with the Y/C signal, set this switch to Y/C. You can obtain high-

quality S-VHS pictures. (For connection, be sure to use a 21-pin SCART cable that is compatible with the Y/C signal.)

NOTES:

● Set your TV to the VIDEO (or AV), Y/C, or RGB mode according to the type of your TV's SCART connector.

● For switching the TV's mode, refer to the instruction manual of your television.

● To obtain high-quality S-VHS pictures, you can also use the S-VIDEO CONNECTION described on page 7.

IMPORTANT

Ⅲ In certain reception conditions, station names may not be stored correctly, and auto Guide Program Number Set may not work

properly. If the Guide Program numbers are not set properly, when you timer-record a TV programme using the VIDEO Plus+

system, the recorder will record a TV programme of a different station. When programming the timer using the VIDEO Plus+

system, be sure to check that the preset position corresponding to the broadcasting station you wish to record has been

selected (੬ pg. 18, "VIDEO Plus+^®Timer Programming").

Ⅲ Your video recorder memorizes all detected stations even if reception of some of them is poor. In these cases picture quality

may be poor. To delete those stations which have an unacceptable picture ੬ "Delete A Channel" on page 61.

Ⅲ If any of the above problems occur, refer to pages 60 – 62 to input station names (੬ "Set Stations") or delete unnecessary

stations (੬ "Delete A Channel"). You can also change station preset positions (੬ "Change Station Preset Position").

START PLAYBACK

Press

● The recorder adjusts the playback picture quality

based on the quality of the tape in use.

● B.E.S.T. is active during Auto Tracking. “BEST”

appears blinking on the recorder’s display panel.

NOTES:

● When watching a tape recorded with “B.E.S.T.” set to “ON”,

it is recommended that you leave B.E.S.T. on during playback

as well.

● When watching a rental tape or one recorded on another

video recorder, or when using this recorder as the player for

editing, set B.E.S.T. to your preference by performing steps

through on page 34.

● "BEST" only appears at the beginning of automatic tracking.

Even though it doesn't appear after that, the B.E.S.T. function

is operative.

● The recorder spends approximately 7 seconds

assessing the condition of the tape, then begins

recording.

NOTES:

● The B.E.S.T. system works for both SP and LP modes only after

a tape has been inserted and the Record mode is first

initiated. It does not work during recording.

● The B.E.S.T. system does not work while Auto Satellite Prog

recording is in progress (੬ pg. 40).

● In the case of timer recording, the B.E.S.T. system works

before recording is initiated.

● Once the cassette is ejected, the B.E.S.T. data is cancelled.

The next time the cassette is used for recording, B.E.S.T. is re-

performed.

● Pressing the recorder's

button while "BEST" is

displayed does not start Instant Timer Recording (੬ pg. 16).

ATTENTION

Since the B.E.S.T. system works before recording actually

starts, there is a delay of approximately 7 seconds after

on the recorder is pressed. To make sure you record the

desired scene or programme in its entirety, first perform the

to engage the

RECORD PAUSE mode.

● The recorder then automatically checks the condition

of the tape and, after approximately 7 seconds, re-

enters RECORD PAUSE.

● If you want to bypass the B.E.S.T. system and begin

recording immediately, set “B.E.S.T.” to “OFF” in step

on page 34.

● This recorder has a dynamic range of more than 80 dB with

regards to its Hi-Fi audio capability. It is recommended that

you check the maximum level if you are going to listen to the

Hi-Fi audio signals through a stereo amplifier. A sudden surge

in the input level to the speakers may damage them.

Connect the AUDIO OUT L and R connectors on your

video recorder to the AUX IN or TAPE MONITOR

terminals on your stereo system's receiver or amplifier.

● Some speakers and televisions are specially shielded to

prevent television interference. If both are of the non-shielded

type, do not place the speakers adjacent to the TV set as this
