This HDD DVD recorder is designed to record and play back video and audio signals.

Any other use is expressly prohibited.

If the HDD DVD recorder is subjected to a sudden change in temperature, for example if it is brought in from the cold to a warm room, connect it to the mains supply and let it stand for at least two hours before you use it.

The HDD DVD recorder is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it in the open, please ensure that it is protected from moisture, such as rain or water splashes.

Place the HDD DVD recorder on a hard, level surface. Do not place any objects such as newspapers on the HDD DVD recorder, or any cloth or simi- lar items underneath it.

Do not place the HDD DVD recorder directly on top of an AV receiver or a subwoofer. Do not put any other appliances on top of the HDD DVD recorder. The laser optics are sensitive to temperature and shocks.

Do not place the HDD DVD recorder close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as this will impair cooling.

Do not insert objects in the disc compartment of the HDD DVD recorder.

Never open the HDD DVD recorder casing under any circumstances. No warranty claims are accepted for damage caused by incorrect handling.

Do not place any vessels filled with liquid, such as vases, on the HDD DVD recorder, as they may spill liquid, thus presenting a safety risk.

Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the HDD DVD recorder is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains. Always disconnect the mains and antenna plugs during a storm.

If the HDD DVD recorder fails to read a DVD or CD properly, clean the disc with a soft cloth. Wipe the disc from the centre outwards. Do not use clean- ing CDs to clean the laser optics. This can damage the optics.

Always keep the disc compartment of the HDD DVD video recorder closed to prevent dust from collecting on the laser optics.

Please note when deciding where to put the device that furniture surfaces are covered by various types of lacquer and plastic, most of which contain chemical additives. These may cause corrosion to the feet of the device, thus resulting in stains on the surface of the furniture which can be difficult or impossible to remove.

Note:

 

Do not connect any other equipment while the device is switched on. Switch

 

off the other equipment as well before connecting it.

 

Only plug the device into the mains socket after you have connected the
