Some Do's And Don'ts On The Safe  
Use Of Equipment  
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any  
electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.  
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.  
DO 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.  
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equip-  
ment.  
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.  
DON'T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is  
damanged in any way — switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.  
DON'T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.  
DON'T 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.  
DON'T 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.  
DON'T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing.  
DON'T 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.  
DON'T 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.  
DON'T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.  
ABOVE ALL...  
NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the  
case — this could result in a fatal electrical shock;  
NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than  
sorry!

CAUTIONS:  
MAKE CONNECTIONS  
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.  
1
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  
can adversely affect the video playback picture.  
NOTES:  
When connecting your recorder's audio output connectors to  
a stereo amplifier, make sure you connect L and R correctly.  
If NICAM TV broadcasts are receivable in your area, this  
recorder can record them independently of the TV set and  
play them back through the connected stereo system.  
When listening to sound through the connected stereo system,  
turn the TV's volume down completely.

INITIAL SETTINGS

Your recorder needs to memorise all necessary stations in preset  
positions in order to record TV programmes. ATS+ (Auto Tuning  
System) automatically assigns all receivable stations in your  
area to call them up with the TV PROG. buttons without going  
through any vacant channels.

PDC Recording  
Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme  
Delivery Control) is a service designed to assure safe, accurate  
timer recording. With this system, special code signals are  
transmitted together with the audio/video signals. These code  
signals control your video recorder and have precedence over  
advertised times you preset in the timer. This means that your  
recorder will start and stop recording when the preset TV  
programmes actually start and end — even if the broadcast time  
of a preset TV programme is changed.  
OK  
To Use PDC Service . . .  
The default setting for PDC is "ON". To cancel PDC, press  
:
PDC (NUMBER key “7”) so that the PDC indicator ( ) on the  
display panel disappears during Video Plus+ or regular timer  
programming.  
NOTES:  
When you manually enter programmes (regular timer  
programming), set the start time (PDC time) exactly as  
advertised in the TV listing. A different time than advertised  
will result in no recording.  
PDC Recording is also possible when a satellite tuner or a  
cable box is connected to AV2 IN on your recorder.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS  
37  
PLAYBACK  
RECORDING  
Q. What happens if the end of the tape is reached  
during playback or search?  
A. The tape is automatically rewound to the beginning.  
Q. When I pause and then resume a recording, the end  
of the recording before the pause is overlapped by  
the beginning of the continuation of recording. Why  
does this happen?  
A. This is normal. It reduces distortion at the pause and  
resume points.  
Q. Can the video recorder indefinitely remain in the  
still mode?  
A. No. It stops automatically after 5 minutes to protect  
the heads.  
Q. Can the video recorder indefinitely remain in the  
Record-Pause mode?  
A. No. The video recorder shuts off automatically after 5  
minutes to protect the heads.  
Q. During search, slow, still and frame-by-frame  
playback, I can’t hear any audio. What’s the  
problem?  
A. This is normal.  
Q. What happens if the tape runs out during recording?  
A. The video recorder automatically rewinds it to the  
beginning.  
Q. When returning from multi-speed search to normal  
playback, the picture is disturbed. Should I be  
concerned about this?  
TIMER RECORDING  
A. No, it is normal.  
Q. "REC" and "" remain lit on the display panel. Is  
there a problem?  
A. No. This is a normal condition for a timer recording in  
progress.  
Q. Noise bars appear during multi-speed search. What’s  
the problem?  
A. This is normal.  
Q. Can I program the timer while I’m watching a tape  
or a TV broadcast?  
Q. Other than preventing further recording, what effect  
does removing the Record Safety tab have?  
A. It disables marking of index codes.  
A. Yes.  
Q. Sometimes, during Index Search, the video recorder  
can’t find the programme I want to see. Why not?  
A. There may be index codes too close together.  
ATTENTION:  
This recorder contains microcomputers. External electronic noise or interference could cause malfunctioning. In such cases,  
switch the recorder off and unplug the mains power cord. Then plug it in again and turn the recorder on. Take out the cassette.
