INSTALLATION: HOW DO I
CONNECT THE VIDEO RECORDER
TO THE TV SET?

Your video recorder is a sort of ‘TV set without a screen’.
It must therefore be connected to both the aerial and the TV set
in order for you to be able to view recorded cassettes.
Connecting to the mains
O
Insert the female plug of the mains lead into the mains socket
'Ny at the rear of the video recorder.
@ The other plug at the other end of the mains lead must be
inserted into the wall socket.
Further instructions for use:
• The video recorder should remain connected to the mains at
all times to ensure that timed recordings can be made.
The power consumption in the stand by mode is very low.
No additional control button is required to activate the video
recorder. It will switch itself on when a cassette is loaded or
when any of the tape transport buttons are pressed
(e.g.lIB).

button (1), the display will only show the time e.g.:
