Any other application is expressly prohibited. ● Avoid the long-term display of static images, e.g. menus or audio only channels. Use the Radio Blanking feature (see Features Setup on page 20) ● Do not expose the recorder to any moisture. The recorder is intended for use in dry rooms. If you wish to operate it in the open air, make absolutely sure that it is protected against moisture (rain, splashes, etc.). ● Do not place any object filled with water (vases or similar) on the recorder. ● Place the recorder on a flat and hard surface. Do not place any objects (e.g. newspapers) on or under the recorder. ● If placed in an enclosed unit, the all-round distance between the recorder and the sides of the unit must be at least 10cm. Do not allow the vent slots in the sides or underneath to become obstructed. ● Do not place the recorder in the immediate vicinity of a heat source or in direct sunlight as this would prevent appropriate cooling. ● During a thunderstorm it is recommended that you disconnect the recorder from the mains and aerial to prevent damage from lightning strikes. ● Never open the recorder as this will invalidate your guarantee. ● Do not dispose of used batteries in normal waste.

hope you will enjoy all the new features this technology brings to your home for many years. Your DTR is going to revolutionise the way you watch TV. You can interrupt the programme you are watching, for example while you answer the phone and then resume watching where you left off. You can also pause two different channels at the same time (recording permitting). Delayed viewing, fast-forward and rewind functions allow you to play and replay the most interesting sequences without having to worry about the rest of the programme which is still being recorded. These features could make you lose track of time, but fortunately the LIVE TV button brings you back to the present instantly. You can also go back to delayed viewing with the << button, as easily as if you were rewinding a video cassette. As soon as you start watching TV, your DTR automatically records everything you watch. It saves a review buffer of the channel currently being watched until you change channels or your recorder is switched off by pressing the B button.

REMEMBER SAFETY FIRST - ALWAYS UNPLUG ALL YOUR EQUIPMENT FROM THE MAINS BEFORE MAKING CONNECTIONS Connections Follow the steps below referring to the numbered parts on page 7 and the diagram above:- A Unplug the antenna cable from your VCR (or TV) and plug it into the Aerial In socket of your DTR. B Using the aerial cable supplied, link the RF Out socket on your DTR to the Aerial In socket of your VCR. Your DTR should now be linked first to your aerial, then to your VCR and finally the VCR to the TV. C Using the scart lead supplied, link the TV SCART socket on your DTR to the AV1/EXT1/AUX1 socket of your TV. D Finally, connect the mains lead to the Mains Input socket on your DTR and turn on your TV. If you have a Top Up TV viewing card, please make sure it is inserted correctly now. After a few seconds, the lights on the front will come on and a menu will appear on the TV screen. Please follow the on screen instructions carefully or refer to the Quick-Start Guide. 7 Getting started � � B C D A

connect your recorder to it with a suitable S-Video cable. You can also connect your recorder to an external audio amplifier with suitable cables. You can choose between analogue audio or digital audio outputs. 8 More Connections The diagram on page 7 shows a connection method that includes a VCR. The supplied Accessory cables allow rapid connections to the TV only, in order to get you going as quickly and easily as possible. But should you wish to adopt the more advanced connections shown in the diagrams, please purchase additional leads as explained below. Archiving off the DTR onto a VCR or other recorder Use a scart lead to link the VCR SCART socket on your DTR to the AV1/EXT1/AUX1 socket of your VCR. This connection will allow you to archive to a permanent media. If your VCR supports auto-start recording, then the DTR will control the VCR automatically. Connection to a Hi-Fi system Use a pair of stereo coaxial phono leads to connect the L/R AUDIO OUT socket on your DTR to the L/R AUDIO IN on your Hi-Fi unit. This will allow you to hear higher quality sound through your Hi-Fi. NOTE : Audio sockets are generally identified by colour. White for Left and Red for Right. Coaxial connection to an Audio Visual Amplifier To get even better sound from your DTR, use a digital audio phono lead to connect from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT socket on your DTR to the DIGITAL AUDIO IN on your AV amplifier. S-Video connecttion to a TV, Plasma Display or Projector The scart connection to a TV provides the best picture as RGB (Red,Green,Blue separately), but some types of display device don’t have a scart socket. In this case, either an adaptor should be purchased, or connect an S-Video lead from the S-VIDEO OUT on your DTR to the S-VIDEO IN on your TV, Plasma display or projector. This will also give a high quality picture, but you must make a separate audio connection, as the cable doesn’t carry sound.

If not, check that your TV aerial is plugged into the DTR Aerial In and follow the on screen instructions carefully or refer to the Quick-Start Guide. This will make the DTR try tuning again. If it fails again, you will probably need to upgrade your aerial, please refer to the troubleshooting section on page 27. � � To turn on your DTR, press any number button, the DTR button or the B button.

12 Your DTR has access to two programme guides. Initially your DTR will access the broadcast 7 day Programme Guide, but as soon as your DTR has acquired the Top Up TV on-screen programming guide, you will have access to 14 day listings. The Programme guide screen gives you a fast way of planning your viewing and recording. To access this guide, press the GUIDE button. While in the Programme Guide, you can navigate around using the arrow buttons. Up/down arrows will move between channels, while the left and right arrows move in time. The Guide is split into three sections of 30 minutes each. The information contained in a time segment usually shows the name of the programme. This is only the case when the programme takes up the whole of that 30 minute time slot. As programmes can be longer or shorter than 30 minutes, the Programme Guide has been constructed to inform you of this. If a programme is longer than 30 mins the next time slot shows three dots to indicate that the programme runs in to the next slot. If a programme is shorter that 30 mins the programme name is followed by an arrow to indicate that more than one programme exists in that slot. If a programme does not start exactly on the time boundary, it will have two dots in front of the programme name to indicate that it starts later than the time shown in the column heading. If you leave the highlighter box over a programme for more than five seconds, a box will appear showing a synopsis of the programme. It also shows the start and end times for that programme in the top right- hand corner. � � You can always access the Top Up TV programmes by pressing the Top Up TV button.

Your DTR storage area is partitioned into two sections. For more information on how to change the partition sizes, please turn to page 23. The two sections are arranged so that you have control over the ‘top’ section which appears first on the top section of the menu. Here you can keep your recordings or delete them to make more space as required. To delete a recording, move the highlighter with the UP or Down arrow buttons over the programme that you wish to delete and press the BLUE button. When you move the highlighter into the Top Up TV Anytime storage area, you will notice that the screen appears slightly different.

Delete With the highlighter over a programme, press the BLUE button. You will see a confirmation pop-up to confirm that you wish to delete the programme or exit without deleting. ICONS There are two icons used to assist you in managing your Programme Library. The ✓ at the end of the programme name field is used to indicate that a programme has been watched. The at the end of the programme name field is used to indicate that a programme is currently ‘playing’. Pop-ups Finally, you need to be aware of a few pop-ups that may appear to help you with your selections. Depending upon the way you have set-up your recorder, or if you have not set-up enough storage space on your DTR or you have simply run out of space, your DTR will prompt you that there is not enough space to store your selection. If this happens, you will need to delete some of your recordings if you wish to save additional programmes. Also, a similar pop-up may appear if you are saving a programme that will limit the storage space for any future recording. In this instance you may save this programme, but you should also go to the Planned Recordings menu to make sure you have enough space and if necessary delete old recordings.

Using Planned Recordings Your DTR is very versatile and will allow you to customise the way your record a programme. In this section, we will show you just what options are available to you. Typically you will have pressed the RED button in the Programme Guide which will have automatically taken you to this screen, but you may also wish to set an recording manually. If you have arrived at this screen via the Programme Guide, simply press the RED button to accept the default settings and your recording will be added to the list and completed without further interaction. If you wish to set-up a manual recording via the Planned Recordings menu, you will typically be presented with a virtually blank screen as shown. Press the GREEN button to continue and you will be prompted to enter the channel, date, start and stop times. Use the LEFT and RIGHT buttons to increment or decrement the selection and use the UP and DOWN buttons to move between the settings. Finally press the GREEN button to add the event to your Planned Recordings list. Editing an event There may be an occasion where you wish to adjust the recording (event) that you are setting. This DTR allows you to change both the start time (TIME) and the duration of a recording. Entering a recording from the Programme Guide or manually from the Planned Recordings menu, the highlighter will be positioned over the PROGRAMME field. Press the RIGHT arrow button to move the highlighter over the TIME field. Use the GREEN or YELLOW buttons to increase or decrease the start time. You can also move the Highlighter to the DURATION field again with the RIGHT arrow and use the GREEN or YELLOW buttons to increase or decrease the recording duration. Once satisfied with your adjustments, press the RED button to add this recording to the list. Why edit an event? There may be occasions where multiple recordings overlap and your DTR will warn you that two recordings collide. You may know that the programme you wish to record has moved due to an over-run of a previous programme. Or simply, you know that the part of the programme you are interested in starts later that the actual programme start time; for example, a football match. Editing the timing will allow you to record programmes that would otherwise conflict with each other and save space on your DTR for future recordings. Your DTR is also capable of automatically adding time to a recording to guard against �programme over-run. Please refer to Page 24 for more information on Guard Times. �

18 Space for recordings When you add a recording to the Planned Recordings, your DTR will check to see if there is enough space to complete all the scheduled recordings. If there is a risk that there is not enough space, you will see this pop-up. You have the option to cancel the recording or continue with the event. If you continue with the recording, you should go to the Programme Library menu and try to clear space by deleting programmes that you have already watched and no longer wish to keep. If you do not make space, you may lose the end of your recording or fail to be able to record further programmes. Simultaneous recordings Your DTR has two tuners which means that it is capable of recording two different programmes at the same time. In the event that you try to record more than two programmes at the same time, your DTR will alert you to this overlap with the pop-up shown. The pop-up will inform you of the date, time and duration of the overlap. Make a note of this overlap and go back to the Planned Recordings main menu. Find the programmes that overlap and look to see if you can manually change the start times or durations of the overlapping events to resolve the conflict. This will still enable you to record the programmes you wish and not miss anything of significance. Series Link Some programmes are broadcast with special tags that indicate that the programme is part of a series. If while setting a recording your DTR detects this tag, it will advise you with this pop-up. You now have three options; cancel the recording (RED button), record all programmes with that ‘Series link tag’ (GREEN button) or just that specific programme and remove the Series link (YELLOW) button. When you go back to the Programme Guide, you will see that a series link icon has been added to the programme name. It looks like this Top Up TV Anytime services conflict At certain times of the day (or night) your DTR will attempt to use both tuners to record the Top Up TV Anytime services. If the recording that you are setting up conflicts with a Top Up TV Anytime service event, your DTR will warn you of this conflict and present you with a list of the Top Up TV Anytime programmes that won’t record as a result. You then have the option to cancel your recording and allow the Top Up TV Anytime download, or continue with your recording and not the Top Up TV Anytime one. (Continued) � �

Numeric channel entry Channels are ordered in a preset list this is called the Logical Channel Number (LCN). Once you have been using your recorder for a little while you will remember the LCN associated with a particular channel. You can enter the LCN directly with the numeric buttons on your remote control. You will need to enter all three digits of the LCN. Stream swap Your DTR has two tuners which means it can receive two different channels at the same time. You can switch between these two channels by pressing 0 on your remote control. If that channel is paused, it will automatically switch to play to allow you to watch the programme. Furthermore, if you are watching a recorded programme, your DTR will pause that programme and switch to the programme currently being received by one of the tuners. Pressing 0 again will switch to the other tuner and pressing 0 again will return you to your recorded programme and resume playback. Instant record If while watching a programme you decide you wish to record it, press the RECORD button on your remote control. Your DTR will automatically record the programme to the end of the scheduled time and add any of that programme that exists in your review buffer. Chase play viewing This is the ability to view a programme that is currently being recorded as part of a scheduled record or an instant record process. There are two ways to view a programme while it is being recorded. From Planned Recordings highlight the programme you wish to watch and press the RED button on your remote control. This will start the programme from the beginning. You can also change channels to the one that is recording your programme and use trick modes such as REWIND to move back through the recording to your desired point. Trick modes These are functions that enable you to move forward or rewind through a recording. There a nine incremental speeds for both forward and rewind, these are ¼, ½, x1, x2, x4, x8, x16, x32 & x64. Press the forward or rewind button on your remote control to enter the trick mode. Repeated presses of that button will increase the speed. To reduce the speed press the opposite button. Note: That quarter and half speed modes are only accessed from pause mode. To enter pause mode, press the Pause button on your remote control. Also, while in pause mode, you can press �the pause button again to advance one frame. Continued pressing will advance frame by frame. �

The set-up menu should now look like this: Use the UP and DOWN buttons to highlight the sub-menu you wish to enter and press the OK button, or press the number button that is associated with the sub-menu. SCAN For Channels You will have performed this option automatically as part of the installation process, but if for any reason you wish to re-scan for new channels (if you have moved or have a new aerial for example), make sure that all the connections to your DTR are connected correctly. Press the GREEN button to start the automatic search for available channels. Once the scan has started you can cancel it by pressing the RED button. You can monitor the progress of the search as your DTR first searches for digital broadcast frequencies and then for specific programmes on those frequencies. Finally your DTR will attempt to acquire the Top Up TV Anytime service. When the scan is complete, the text at the bottom of the screen will say Scan complete and the GREEN button will re-appear to enable you to re-scan if required. To exit this menu option, press the BACK button. � �

that the DTR factory default will be UNDERLINED. If at anytime your are not sure what setting to make, refer to the relevant page and look for the setting that is underlined. TV Set-Up You will only see five options in the TV Set-Up screen if you have the advanced menu option turned on. Otherwise, only the first two options will be available. Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to select an option and use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow buttons to cycle around the available settings. Please note that option 3 RF modulator will be covered at the end of this section. TV Picture format Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow buttons to choose from 4:3 letterbox (black bars top and bottom), 4:3 Centre Cut-Out (full screen, but lost picture on left and right), 4:3 Full Screen (if your 4:3 TV supports 16:9 switching, check your TV manual) or 16:9 Widescreen (for widescreen TV's). SCART setting Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow buttons, to choose from S-Video (for specific TV’s), RGB (for best pictures) or PAL for all other types. See your TV manual for the best choice, it usually depends on which socket you connect to. Radio blanking [advanced] This option allows you to specify a time after which the display automatically dims. As the chosen channel is a radio channel, it is unlikely there will be any useful screen content to display. Plasma blanking [advanced] This option allows you to specify a time after which the display automatically dims. This is important as static images can damage certain screen types. For both Radio and Plasma blanking the available settings are: OFF 3, 5, 10, 20 (mins) � � � � � � Set-Up (Continued)

Your DTR is equipped with an RF (aerial) modulator. This feature allows you to watch pictures on a TV set when only connected via the aerial lead. This can be useful if you wish to send the pictures from your DTR to more than one TV in your house. Using the example method below, you can also view the VCR on other TV's in your home. Check your VCR manual for details on its RF modulator. It is strongly recommended that the main TV is connected using the scart lead provided as this will provide the best possible pictures. These instructions assume you are connected to the main TV with a scart lead as shown on page 7. � Make sure that all the aerial connections have been made as shown in the diagram below. You will need an aerial distribution amplifier (splitter), this can be purchased at most good dealers or DIY stores. Make sure you use good quality, double screened co-ax aerial cables. (e.g. CT100) � Referring to your TV user manual, tune your TV's into channel 22 (default) for the DTR. � If this picture is snowy or disrupted, you may need to change the modulator channel. Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrows to change the modulator channel number (21 to 69). Finally, re-tune the TV again. � Repeat step 3 until you have clear pictures on all your TV sets. � If you do not wish to use the RF modulator then choose off. � Press BACK to return to TV viewing. � �

This menu presents a list of available Top Up TV Anytime channels. Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow buttons to move between columns. Use the UP and DOWN arrows to move the highlighter over a channel for activation. Press the RED button to activate the channel. Note the two times on the bottom of the screen. The Top Up TV (TUTV) hours per week will change as you activate or de-activate channels. The available space left for personal recordings on your DTR’s hard disk drive (storage space) is shown on the far right. In some cases there will be insufficient free storage space in the Personal Disk Space area to re-assign for Top Up TV Anytime use. In this case, a pop-up will be displayed as shown to enable you to remove content from the Record Library. Use the UP and DOWN arrows to select a programme and then delete it by pressing the RED button. Once you have created enough space, you can activate the new channel by pressing the GREEN button. To exit this menu press the YELLOW button. You may attempt to activate a channel for which you do not have the right level of subscription. If this occurs, you will be taken to the Subscription screen. Follow the steps on screen to change your subscription. Warnings There are some warnings that may pop-up as a result of some of your selections / actions. The first of these may be if you de-activate a Top Up TV Anytime channel. The warning will inform you that if you de-activate this channel, you will no longer receive any of that channel’s programmes and delete any recordings made from that channel. The second warning you may see is in activating a new channel, you may not have enough space on your disk drive for planned recordings. The warning will advise you to review your Planned Recordings as soon as possible. Please refer to page 16 on how to make space by deleting unwanted recordings. � � � �

Guard time and the rewind buffer size. Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to move between the two options and the LEFT and RIGHT arrows to scroll through the available values for that option. Recording guard time A guard time is a small amount of time added to the start and end of a recording to help protect against programmes starting slightly ahead of schedule or more typically over-running their scheduled finishing time. There is obviously a small penalty for this feature which is that you will use up more space for each recording with a guard time set. The available settings are OFF, 1, 3 or 5 minutes. As you can see the default setting is OFF to maximise the available disk space for recordings. Pause live TV Your DTR automatically records and buffers the channel you are currently watching. The size of this record buffer is set to 30 minutes. This means that you can pause and rewind the channel you are watching back by 30 minutes, or by the amount of time you have set as the Pause live TV buffer size. As with the guard times, this obviously takes up space on your Hard disk drive for recording other programmes so if you do not use this feature you can turn it off to increase the available space for recordings. The available settings are OFF, 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes. If while watching a programme you decide to record it, your DTR will use as much of the buffer as is available to add to your recording in an attempt to record the whole of the programme from the start. Messages Occasionally, events may occur that your DTR stores for your information. For example, your DTR is capable of having its software upgraded automatically using the same transmission media as the programmes themselves. If you have any messages waiting to be read, a light on the front of your DTR will come on. Also, in the Main Menu screen top right-hand corner, a small envelope icon will appear as shown. To view any messages, select Messages from the Set-Up menu. Once you have read your messages, you may delete them by pressing the RED button. � �

you require further assistance please call the telephone number shown on-screen. There is also an option to press the RED button for tuning information. This screen shows the current status of the two tuners, what channel number they are currently set to and the Strength & Quality of the signals being received. You can also change the channel a given tuner is set to with the coloured buttons; RED & GREEN for Tuner 1 or YELLOW & BLUE for Tuner 2. Changing the channels that the tuners are set to may result in you losing scheduled recordings. Please use this screen with care or wait to be advised on how to use this screen by one of our Customer Care Advisers Child Lock [Advanced] This menu option enables you to set-up Parental Control levels and to determine the access you and your family have to content. As soon as you select this option, you will be prompted to enter your Personal Identification Number (PIN). The default number for this is 0000. It is highly recommended that you change this number as soon as possible. Once you have entered a valid PIN you are given the option to change the PIN by pressing the RED button and following the simple steps on-screen. Max Certificate This sets the maximum certificate value allowed on any viewed content (Live or Recorded). If at anytime a user tries to view content with a certificate higher than the maximum certificate allowed, the recorder will blank the screen, mute the audio and pop-up the PIN entry window. Unless a valid PIN is entered, the content cannot be viewed. The available settings are; U, PG, 12, 15 or 18. Note that the default is 18 which means that there is no automatic block of any content from being viewed. You should lower this to a level suitable for the people with access to your DTR. Note that setting a certificate does not limit the content that can be recorded, only what can be viewed. This allows viewing decisions to be made when the viewer is present. � � � �

This allows the DTR to be locked down during the START and END times. Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow buttons to increment or decrement the time in 15 minute steps. In both cases, the default value is OFF. Lock Once you have set lock periods, you will have to activate them by setting Lock on. Likewise, you can also turn lock periods off with this option. Favourites [Advanced] Setting Favourites, enables you to just scroll around the channels that you wish to see and not the entire list of available channels. This does not preclude you from watching a channel outside of your favourite list, simply enter the channel number directly or use the Programme Guide. To Set-up your FAVOURITES, use the UP and DOWN arrows to highlight a channel that you would like to make a favourite. Press OK to add it to your Favourites. Your Favourites are identified by a ✓. You can remove it from your list by pressing the OK button again. Also use the RED button to select all, or the GREEN button to delete all. To exit this menu press the BACK button. Languages [Advanced] Preferred audio language This option sets the Preferred language audio output. In a multi-language broadcast, your DTR will attempt to acquire your preferred language. If your preferred language is not available, your DTR will switch to the default language. Preferred subtitle language This has the same action as Preferred language, but for Subtitles in place of the audio output itself. To select an option, use the UP or DOWN arrow buttons. To scroll around the possible languages, use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow buttons. The default Language is English and the available options are Welsh and Gaelic.

In some cases there may not be enough tuners for all the functions your recorder is trying to perform, for example if two recordings are taking place and you try to change channels, you will see this pop-up menu. If you really wish to change channels, go to the Planned Recordings menu and cancel the recording. Pressing the RED button will take you to the Planned Recordings menu. Top Up TV Anytime conflict resolution Watching live TV may conflict with the requirement to record Top Up TV Anytime programmes. This may occur if you are watching a programme when the Top Up TV Anytime programmes start, you switch on your recorder while Top Up TV Anytime programmes are being recorded or you are watching a Top Up TV Anytime programme but then try to change channels. In the event of a conflict, you will see this pop-up. If you press the RED button, you will continue to record the Top Up TV Anytime programmes, however, if you press the GREEN button the Top Up TV Anytime recordings will be abandoned and your recorder will be considered to be in override mode. Your Recorder will remain in override mode for one hour or until it is placed in stand-by. In the same way, if your recorder is trying to collect TV listings or Top Up TV Anytime information, your recorder will pop-up this warning. If you press the RED button, you will continue to collect the required information, however, if you press the GREEN button the task will be abandoned. By overriding this task, your recorder may fail to update the TV listings and as a consequence, may fail to record Top Up TV Anytime programmes. Loss of Signal If your recorder can not detect a signal, it will present this icon in the top centre of your TV screen. Check all connections or refer to Reception problems on the following page. � � � �

you can receive Digital TV. If you wish to check this yourself, please look on the internet websites:- www.freeview.co.uk or www.dtg.org.uk/consumer. Once you have established that your area should be able to receive digital TV, there are a few reasons why you may be experiencing problems. • Your current aerial and cabling may not be able to receive all the digital channels due to its age and condition. Now is the time to renew them. We recommend the use of CAI “Benchmarked” aerials. Look for the logo. Always use good quality, double screened aerial cable. e.g. CT100 coaxial cable. • In your location the digital channels may be transmitted on different frequencies to your existing analogue signals and you may need a different type of aerial to receive them. Check the ‘group’ of your aerial, you may need a ‘wideband’ one. • The new digital channels may be transmitted from a new transmitter and if this is the case the aerial would have to be re-aligned. Alternatively, add a second aerial to your system. • If you need to use a mast-head amplifier, make sure that it is a digitally compatible one and that it is as close to the aerial as possible. • In some blocks of flats, filters may be in use that will interfere with digital signals. Consult with your landlord if you have difficulties. • Indoor or window mounted aerials are not recommended, except in areas where the signal is extremely strong. • Your aerial could be too high. Try adjusting the height of the aerial to avoid picking up unwanted signals from other transmitters. • If you live near a road, the passing traffic may cause problems. Try pointing the aerial at an upward angle over the road, this helps reduce engine interference picked up by the aerial. • If you get periodic picture losses, this could be due to electrical interference picked up in your house. This could be from a central heating thermostat, a fridge/freezer, or any other item with a motor. Try switching these appliances off temporarily to establish what is causing the problem. Then replace the problem item. • If your aerial comes into your room via an aerial connection point (socket), replace it with a good quality shielded one. This will help prevent electrical noise entering your aerial. If you are still having difficulties, contact our Aerial Helpline on 0800 5428265. (Continued)

When replacing the fuse always use a 3 AMP (BS1362) approved type. To obtain a replacement fuse contact your retailer. If the mains sockets in your home differ or are not suitable for the type of plug supplied, then remove the fuse from the plug for safety, cut the plug from the mains lead and refit a suitable type following Brown - Live, Blue - Neutral. You must use a 13 AMP plug (BS1363) and fit a 3 AMP (BS1362) fuse. If any other type of plug is used a 3 AMP (BS1362) fuse must be fitted, either in the plug, adaptor or the distribution board. Intterference - Do not place your recorder near appliances which may cause electromagnetic interference (e.g. hi-fi speakers). If you do, it may adversely affect the working of the unit, causing the picture or sound to distort. Covers - Do not remove any fixed covers as this may expose dangerous voltages. Weather - It is advisable to unplug the aerial during a thunderstorm. Even if your recorder and TV are switched off, they can still be damaged by lightning strikes. Ventilation - The ventilation holes in the casing of your recorder prevent it from overheating. Do not block or cover these holes - especially with cloth or paper. If your recorder is to be built into a compartment or similarly enclosed, make sure that there is a gap of at least 10cm on both sides and 20cm at the top and back of the unit. Damage - Never use your recorder if it is damaged in any way. Always place your recorder on a flat level surface avoiding anywhere which may be subject to strong vibration. Batteries - batteries are easily swallowed by young children. Do not allow young children to play with the remote control unit. Temperature - Avoid extremes of temperature, either hot or cold, place your recorder well away from heat sources such as radiators or gas/electric fires. Do not place candles or table lamps on or near your recorder. Moisture - Do not allow your recorder to be exposed to rain, moisture or dust. Do not place a plant or flowers which may need watering on your recorder. If any liquid is spilt into your recorder it can cause serious damage. If you spill any liquid into your recorder switch it off at the mains immediately and contact your store.
