This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp
plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
a Remove fuse cover and fuse.
b Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A, A.S.T.A. or
BSI approved type.
c Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should
be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of
5A. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution
board should not be greater than 5A.
DNote: * The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid
a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a
13A socket elsewhere.
a Insert the aerial plug into the 2 socket.
b Insert the plug of the mains cable into the wall socket.

4. IMPORTANT NOTES FOR OPERATION
General information
E We suggest that, from now on, you switch off your
TV-Video Combi with the m button on the front of the
set or with the STANDBY m button on the remote control.
When the set is in the standby mode, a small red lamp
(STANDBY 5) at the front of the set will be alight.
E You can switch the machine on with the ;P q ,
=P r or 0..9 buttons or by inserting a cassette.
AAttention: If you use the power switch 8 on the side
panel, you switch off the set completely from the mains
power supply. No programmed recordings are possible in
this state. The red standby lamp (STANDBY 5) at the front
of the set will not be alight. After some time, the date and
clock settings will be lost.
We therefore advise you to keep your TV-Video Combi
connected to the mains and keep the mains switch
8
on at all times to ensure that programmed recordings can
be made and that the television works normally. The
power consumption will be low.
E Attention: If you switch off the appliance using the power
switch 8 , make sure that you have removed the tape
by pressing the ? button.
E If the TV-Video Combi does not receive a signal for more
than 15 minutes, it switches off automatically to conserve
energy.
E If the TV-Video Combi is not plugged into the mains, the
TV channel and timer information is stored for approx.
one year, and the clock information is stored for approx.
30 minutes.
E If a TV channel which transmits Teletext/PDC is stored
under programme number ’P01’ , time and date will
automatically be taken from the Teletext/PDC information
after an interruption of the power supply to the set.

5. PLAYBACK FUNCTIONS
Playing a pre-recorded cassette
Playing NTSC cassettes
With this TV-Video Combi you can playback cassettes that
have been recorded in NTSC standard on other video
recorders (e.g. American cassettes).
a Put a cassette into the cassette slot (see illustration). The
cassette will be pulled in automatically.
DDuring NTSC playback, ’NTSC’ will briefly appear on
the screen.
DSome special functions (e.g.: still picture) are not
possible during NTSC playback.
Tape position indication
By pressing OK you can show the present tape position on
the TV screen. You can read the elapsed playing time in hours
and minutes.
b Press the button PLAY G to play the cassette. The
screen displays for example:
DThe length of the inserted cassette is automatically
detected. When you put in a new cassette the video
recorder must first calculate the playing time.
Therefore, ’-:--’ appears first and only after the tape
has been running for a few seconds the playing time
will be shown.
0:00
TIME USED
c To stop, press the STOP h button.
DDuring NTSC playback, the cassette length cannot
be detected automatically. Therefore, only the
playing time since the insertion of the cassette is
displayed.
d To eject the cassette, press ? on the front of the
TV-Video Combi while it is in Stop mode.
You may also use the STOP h button on the remote
control for more than 3 seconds.
* You can reset the counter to ’0:00:00’ using the
CLEAR (CL) button.
*If there is an empty space on the tape, the counter
will stop.
* If you rewind an NTSC cassette starting at the
’0:00:00’ position, the counter will show:
’-0:01:20’. (rewound 1 minute 20 seconds from
the ’0:00:00’ position).
DBefore transportation, make sure that there is no
cassette in the TV-Video Combi.
DSome hired cassettes may have poor picture or
sound quality. This is not a fault in your machine.
Please read the section ’Selecting the picture
settings (SMART PICTURE)’, or ’Eliminating picture
interference (Tracking)’.
DSome functions will automatically switch off after a
while (e.g.: pause, still picture, picture search). This
helps to protect the cassette and avoids wasting
power.
DDuring playback, the machine will automatically
switch between the speeds ’LP/SP’. Please read the
section ’Selecting the recording speed (SP/LP)’ in
the chapter ’MANUAL RECORDING’.

TV-Video Combi receives all necessary information to
programme a recording.
* the date you want to make the recording
* the programme number for the TV channel you want to
