Reducing picture disturbance (’optimizing
the modulator’)
You may experience picture disturbance if you have not used
a scart cable to connect your video recorder and TV. This is
because another TV station in your reception area may
already be using UHF-channel CH35 or 583MHz.
a
Make sure that there is
no
cassette in the video recorder.
On the video recorder, hold the
SYSTEM
button for a few
seconds until e.g.: ’
M583
’ (583Mhz/channel 35) appears
in the display. The video recorder transmits a test picture
on this UHF-channel (or this frequency).

Switching off the modulator
If you cannot clear picture or sound interference, 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.

Switch on the TV set and select the programme number
for the video recorder.

Make sure that
no
cassette is in the video recorder. On
the video recorder, press the
SYSTEM

seconds, until, for example, ’
M583
’ appears on the video
recorder display.

the display.
