Setting up your recorder
Unpacking and setup
Your carton should contain:
• DVD/VCR recorder
•User Guide
• Remote control unit
• Video cable
• Audio cable
• Batteries (2)
If you need to replace any of these items, call
our help line mentioned in the Warranty section
of this guide.
Carefully remove all the components from the
carton and make sure that you have all the
necessary components before you dispose of
the carton.
• Remove all packing materials from the
individual components.
• Do not remove any labels or stickers on the
back panel of your recorder.
• Place your recorder in the location you want.
Your recorder is designed to be used on a
level, stable, flat surface, such as a table,
desk, shelf, or stand convenient to a power
outlet, out of direct sunlight, and away from
sources of excess heat, dust, moisture, or
vibration.
• Unwind the AC power cord on the back of
your recorder and extend the cord to its full
length.
Power source
Use the polarized AC line cord provided for
operation on AC power. Insert the AC cord plug
into a standard 120 V 60 Hz polarized AC outlet.
If you cause a static discharge when touching
your recorder and your recorder fails to function,
unplug your recorder from the AC outlet and plug
it back in. Your recorder should return to normal
operation.
Connecting to an antenna or cable TV
Depending on your TV and other equipment,
there are various ways you can connect the
recorder. Refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR,
stereo system, or other devices, as necessary,
for additional information.

Warning
• The system uses a polarized AC plug
with one wide blade and one narrow
blade. The plug will only fit into
matching polarized power outlets. This
is a safety feature to reduce the
possibility of electric shock. If the plug
will not fit in your power outlets, you
probably have outdated, non-polarized
outlets which should be changed by a
qualified, licensed electrician. Do not
file the wide blade on the plug or use
an adapter to make the plug fit into
your outlet. This defeats the safety
feature and could expose you to
electric shock.
• Never connect the AC cord plug to
other than the specified voltage (120 V
60 Hz). Use the attached power cord
only.
Note
• Make sure that the recorder is
connected directly to the TV and tune
the TV to the correct video input
channel.
• Do not connect the recorder’s AUDIO
OUT jack to the Phono in jack (record
deck) of your audio system. Do not
connect the recorder through another
VCR. The DVD image could be
distorted by the copy protection
system.
• The picture and sound of a nearby TV,
VCR, or radio may be distorted during
playback. Position the units away from
each other or turn off your recorder
after removing the disc.
