Optimizing the modulator

If the TV set and the video recorder are only connected with an aerial cable - rather than with an additional scart cable - it may happen that in certain reception locations the modulator frequency of the video recorder is occupied by a TV channel. As soon as the video recorder is switched on, the reception quality of the TV picture deteriorates.The following steps will show you how to overcome this problem.

What is a modulator?
The purpose of this electronic assembly inside your
video recorder is to pass on the picture and sound
information read in from the video tape via an aerial
cable like a TV signal to the TV set. The modulator
frequency determines the frequency range in which	TIP
these signals are transmitted.	TIP

1Switch the video recorder on and make sure there is no cassette in the video recorder

2Press simultaneously the EJECT button Jon the front of the video recorder and the button PROGRAMME - until the display shows the modulator frequency (e.g. “M583” or “CH35” ).

3The display shows “M ON”. The video recorder will now transmit a test image on this frequency

4Use =P- or ;P+ to select the option “OPTIMIZE” and enter a new frequency

with the number buttons 0-9

Which modulator frequency should I enter?

You can also make the video recorder search automatically for an appropriate frequency. To do so, simply hold down the button P. As soon as a free

frequency has been found,it will be shown in the display. PROBLEM

5Tune the programme number of your TV set allocated for video use to the new modulator frequency until you see the test image sharply and in colour
