NOTES

• S-Video output connector

The video signals are divided into colour (C) and brightness (Y) signals, achieving a clearer picture.

If the TV is equipped with a S-Video input connector, we recommend connecting it to the this product’s S-Video output connector using a commercially available S-Video connection cord.

• If you use the Euro A/V (SCART) jack, it is not necessary to connect the analog audio cable.

• Connect the DVD/VCR directly to a TV. If the A/V cables are connected to a VCR, pictures may be distorted due to the copy protection system.

• When your TV conforms to RGB input signal, the Euro AV (scart) connection ensures you the best picture and audio quality. However if your TV does not confirm to RGB input signal, the S-VIDEO OUT and analog AUDIO OUT connection is better. (for DVD features only)

The PDC channel must therefore be set to position 01.

• The clock cannot be set automatically if you are not receiving a channel that carries a time signal in your area. In this case, set the clock manually.

• Once the auto clock setting is performed, the DVD/VCR will correct the current time by receiving PDC broadcasts whenever you turn off the DVD/VCR.

• The DVD/VCR will correct the current time automatically at 8:00, if the DVD/VCR’s power is turned off.

• Between 23:00~1:00, the AUTO CLOCK function does not work even if the DVD/VCR’s power is turned off.

TUNING

Tuning of broadcast channels not already preset in the

DVD/VCR can be performed in two ways.

AUTOMATIC TUNING

• By “AUTOMATICALLY” tuning channels and placing them in sequential order in the DVD/VCR’s memory i.e.

the first channel found will be memorised into the

DVD/VCR’s channel position 1, the second channel found will be memorised into the DVD/VCR’s channel position 2 and so on.

• Execution of the “Automatic” tuning cancels all the preset channels. DO NOT use this feature if you intend to use some of the pre-tuned channels. Use the “Manual” tuning function to tune in the additional channels you require.

Take care to fit your batteries correctly, observing the plus and minus marks on the battery and appliance. Incorrect fitting can cause leakage or in extreme cases, fire or even an explosion.

Replace the whole set of batteries at one time, taking care not to mix old and new batteries or batteries of different types, since this can result in leakage or in extreme cases, fire or even an explosion.

ALWAYS ALWAYS NEVER

Store unused batteries in their packaging and away from metal objects which may cause a shortcircuit resulting in leakage or, in extreme cases, fire or even an explosion.

NEVER

Remove dead batteries from equipment and all batteries from equipment you know you are not going to use for a long time. Otherwise the batteries may leak and cause damage.

ALWAYS

Never dispose of batteries in fire as this can cause them to explode.

Please put dead batteries in with the normal household waste.

NEVER

Never attempt to recharge ordinary batteries, either in a charger or by applying heat to them. They may leak cause fire or even explode. There are special rechargeable batteries which are clearly marked as such.

ALWAYS

Supervise children if they are replacing batteries themselves in order to ensure these guidelines are followed.

ALWAYS

Remember that small button cell batteries such as used in some hearing aids, toys, games and other appliances, are easily swallowed by young children and this can be dangerous.

ALWAYS

Keep loose button cells away from young children.

Make sure battery compartments are secure.

– 32 –

Seek medical advice if you believe a cell has been swallowed.

SUBSIDIARY INFORMATION

SOME DOS 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 interconnection 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 equipment.

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 damaged 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 designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know 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 traffic safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.

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 fatal electrical shock:

---NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind.

---it is better to be safe than sorry!
