SAFETY FIRST
IMPORTANT
Please read the various precautions on page 2 and 3 before installing or operating the recorder.
It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the consent
of the owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast or cable programme and in any literary,
dramatic, musical, or artistic work embodied therein.
Safety Precautions
Cassettes marked "S-VHS" and "VHS" can be used with this video cassette recorder. However, S-VHS recordings are possible only
with cassettes marked "S-VHS".
By using the S-VHS ET function, it is possible to record and play back with S-VHS picture quality on VHS cassettes with this
recorder.
Cassettes marked "Mini DV" can be used with the DV deck of this recorder. The DV deck can play back and record only PAL
signals.

under license from Gemstar Development Corporation.
G-CODE and SHOWVIEW are different trademarks used to represent the same easy recording feature. However, for simplicity, only the
term SHOWVIEW will be used. If you use G-CODE system, follow the same steps listed for the SHOWVIEW system.
CAUTION
When you are not using the recorder for a long period of time, it is recommended that you disconnect the
power cord from the mains outlet.
Dangerous voltage inside. Refer internal servicing to qualified service personnel. To prevent electric shock or
fire hazard, remove the power cord from the mains outlet prior to connecting or disconnecting any signal lead
or aerial.
WARNING
There are two different types of SECAM colour systems: SECAM-L, used in FRANCE (also called SECAM-West),
and SECAM-B, used in Eastern European countries (also called SECAM-East).
1. This recorder can also receive SECAM-B colour television signals for recording and playback.
2. Recordings made of SECAM-B television signals produce monochrome pictures if played back on a video
recorder of SECAM-L standard, or do not produce normal colour pictures if played back on a PAL video
recorder with SECAM-B system incorporated (even if the TV set is SECAM-compatible).
3. SECAM-L prerecorded cassettes or recordings made with a SECAM-L video recorder produce monochrome
pictures when played back with this recorder.
4. This recorder cannot be used for the SECAM-L standard. Use a SECAM-L recorder to record SECAM-L signals.
The rating plate and the safety caution are on the rear of the unit.
WARNING: DANGEROUS VOLTAGE INSIDE
WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR
MOISTURE.

When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or a shelf, make sure that it has sufficient space on all sides to allow for
ventilation (10 cm or more on both sides, on top and at the rear.)
When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and the local rules or laws governing the
disposal of these batteries must be followed strictly.
Failure to heed the following precautions may result in damage to the recorder, remote control or video
cassette.
1. DO NOT place the recorder...
... in an environment prone to extreme temperatures or humidity.
... in direct sunlight.
... in a dusty environment.
... in an environment where strong magnetic fields are generated.
... on a surface that is unstable or subject to vibration.
2. DO NOT block the recorder's ventilation openings or holes.
(If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)
3. DO NOT place heavy objects on the recorder or remote control.
4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on top of the recorder or remote control.
(If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or electric shock may be caused.)
5. DO NOT expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing.
6. DO NOT use this equipment in a bathroom or places with water. Also DO NOT place any containers filled with
water or liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants, cups, etc.) on top of this unit.
7. DO NOT place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the apparatus.
8. AVOID violent shocks to the recorder during transport.
MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Moisture in the air will condense on the recorder when you move it from a cold place to a warm place, or under
extremely humid conditions--just as water droplets form in the surface of a glass filled with cold liquid. Moisture
condensation on the head drum will cause damage to the tape. In conditions where condensation may occur, keep the
recorder turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry.
NOTE:
The fan on the rear panel may run although the recorder is turned off in the following cases, for example:
-- in timer standby mode, several hours before the VPS/PDC recording starts.
-- if you connect a decoder or satellite receiver to the AV2 (L-2) IN/DECODER connector and "L-2 SELECT" is set to
"DECODER" or "SAT".
-- if "JUST CLOCK" is set to "ON".
The STANDBY/ON
button does not completely shut off mains power from the unit, but switches operating
current on and off. "
" shows electrical power standby and " " shows ON.
Video tapes recorded with this video recorder in the LP/EP (Long Play/Extended Play) mode cannot be played
back on a single-speed video recorder.

recorder and the TV's aerial terminal.
d Connect the provided SCART cable between the
AV1 (L-1) IN/OUT socket on the rear panel of the
recorder and the TV's 21-pin SCART connector.
The AV1 (L-1) IN/OUT connector accepts and
delivers either a composite signal (regular video
signal) or a Y/C signal (a signal in which the lumi-
nance and chrominance signals are separated). If
your TV's 21-pin AV input connector (SCART) is
compatible with the Y/C signal, set "L-1 OUTPUT" to
"S-VIDEO" after the connection and the initial settings
are completed (
pg. 58). You can obtain high-
quality S-VHS pictures. (For connection, be sure to
use a 21-pin SCART cable that is compatible with the
Y/C signal.)
Set your TV to the VIDEO (or AV), Y/C, or RGB mode
according to the type of your TV's SCART connector.
For switching the TV's mode, refer to the instruction
manual of your television.
To obtain high-quality S-VHS pictures, you can also
use the S-VIDEO Connection described on page 5.
