Note:
This modulator frequency (583MHz or UHF-
channel 35 ) might already be being used by another TV
station in your reception area, e.g. ’Channel 5’. In this case
the picture quality on your TV set will be poor when
receiving one or more TV channels.
*
Adjusting the modulator frequency:
If the picture quality
only deteriorates when the video recorder is switched on,
adjust the modulator frequency. The frequency can be
adjusted at step
6
with the
P
r
or the
P
q
button.
Confirm the adjusted frequency with the
OK
button.
*
Automatic adjustment of modulator frequency
: If you press
the
I
button in step
6
, the next optimal modulator
frequence will be selected automatically. Confirm the
frequency displayed with the
OK
button.
*
Switching off the modulator:
If you cannot eliminate
picture or sound interference using the above method you
can switch off the built-in modulator. You should only do this
if you have connected the video recorder to the TV set with
a scart cable. ’Connecting VCR without scart cable’ is not
possible when the modulator is switched off.
At step
6
, press the
CLEAR (CL)
button for several sec-
onds until ’MOFF’ (modulator switched off) appears in the
display. You can switch back again in the same way.
Important notes for operation
•
Many televisions
automatically
switch to programme
number ’EXT’ (
EXT
ernal) or ’AV’ (
A
udio/
V
ideo) when a
video cassette is played back.
If the television does not switch automatically, select
programme number e.g.: ’EXT’, ’0’, or ’AV’ on the TV set
manually.
•
Keep your video recorder connected to the mains at all
times to ensure that programmed recordings can be made
and that the television functions normally. The power
consumption required will only be approximately 6 W
(save energy mode).
•
The video recorder switches on automatically as soon as
you insert a cassette or press the
P
q
button.
•
If the video recorder is not used for a few minutes, it
switches to standby automatically (except in tuner-mode).
•
If the video recorder is disconnected from the mains, TV
channel information will be stored for about 1 year and
clock and Timer information will be stored for about 7
hours.
