Important notes for operation
� Many televisions automatically switch to programme number �EXT� (EXTernal) or �AV� (Audio/Video) when a video cassette is played back. If the television does not switch automatically, select programme number e.g.: �EXT�, �0�, or �AV� on the TV set � manually. Keep your video recorder connected to the mains at all times to ensure that programmed recordings can be made and that the television functions normally. The power consumption required will only be approximately 6 W (save energy mode). The video recorder switches on automatically as soon as you insert a cassette or press the P q button. If the video recorder is not used for a few minutes, it switches to standby automatically (except in tuner-mode). If the video recorder is disconnected from the mains, TV channel information will be stored for about 1 year and clock and Timer information will be stored for about 7 hours.

4 Plug the other end of the mains cable into the wall socket. 5 Switch on your TV set and select the programme number

that you have chosen for video playback (see operating manual for your TV set).
6 Ensure that no cassette has been loaded. With the video

recorder switched to standby, hold the SYSTEM button for a few seconds until a modulator frequency e.g.: �M583�(583MHz or UHF-channel 35) appears in the display. The video recorder transmits a test picture on this UHF-channel.
