Preparing the remote control for operation

The remote control and its batteries are packed separately in the original video recorder packag- ing. You must install the batteries in the remote control before use.

1.Take the remote control and the enclosed batteries (2 batteries).

2.Open the remote control’s battery compart- ment and place the batteries in it as shown in the picture and close the battery compart- ment.

The remote control is now ready to use. Its range is approximately 7 metres.

Connecting your video recorder to the TV

The necessary cable connections must be made before you can record or playback TV pro- grammes using your video recorder.

We recommend that you

use a scart cable to con- nect your TV and video recorder.

What is a scart cable?

The scart or Euro AV cable serves as the uni- versal connector for picture, sound and control signals. With this type of connection, there is practically no loss of quality during the picture or sound transfer.

You can have the Hi-Fi sound on the TV only with a scart cable.

Connecting with a scart cable

Have the following cables ready: - One aerial cable (1, supplied)

- One scart cable (2, not sup-

 

 

plied)
