Precautions
- Ensure that the mains supply in your house complies with that
SETTING UP
indicated on the identification sticker located on the back of your appliance.
Install the video recorder horizontally, away from any source of heat
(fireplace) or appliances creating strong magnetic or electric fields. The
components of this video recorder are sensitive to heat. The maximum
ambient temperature should not exceed 35° Celsius. Leave sufficient space
around the video recorder to allow adequate ventilation: 10 cm on either
side and at the rear, as well as 7 cm above the top are minimum
requirements. The humidity of the room should not exceed 80%. If you
have to use the video recorder outdoors, do not expose it to water from
rain or splashing. Moving it from a cold atmosphere into a warm one is likely
to cause condensation on some components inside the video recorder. Let
the condensation disappear by itself before turning the video recorder on
again.
- If your appliance, or a cassette, has been stored in a very cold
USE
atmosphere for a certain amount of time (transported during winter for
example), wait approximately 2 hours before using your video recorder. The
openings located on the top and the bottom are for ventilation purposes.
They should not be obstructed. During thunder storms, we recommend that
you disconnect the video recorder from the mains and aerial so that it is not
affected by electrical or electromagnetic surges that could damage it. For
this reason, keep the mains socket and aerial socket accessible so they can
be disconnected. When the unit is on standby, some components remain
connected to the mains. To fully disconnect your set, you have to unplug the
mains connector from the mains socket. Immediately disconnect the video
recorder if you notice it giving off a smell of burning or smoke. Under no
circumstances whatsoever must you open the video recorder yourself. You
risk electrocution if you do so.
- Use a soft, dry and clean cloth. Regularly dust the vents at the
CLEANING
back or sides. Using solvents, abrasive or alcohol based products risks
damaging the set. If an object or liquid enters inside the appliance, unplug
it immediately and have it checked by an authorised technician. To avoid
deterioration of your video recorder's heads, never use a cleaning tape.
Guarantee
The type and production number of your appliance are printed on the
guarantee certificate delivered with your video recorder. Keep this
certificate as well as the invoice. These documents are indispensable for
claiming your guarantee rights. All repairs during the guarantee period must
be carried out by an authorised technician representing our brand. If this
condition is not met, your rights will no longer be valid. Never open the
appliance yourself, since this may be dangerous for you or damage the
equipment. Thomson Multimedia is not liable if the video recorder is used
other than in accordance with this manual.
Prior to using your video recorder, you'll have to follow the set-up
procedure and make the settings described on pages 2 to 11.
This user manual is common to several VCR models, some functions or settings may not be available
on the model you have bought.
