• Do not take the cover off this video recorder. If something goes wrong, don’t try and fix it
yourself. Contact Comet after-sales service for advice.
• When the video recorder is plugged into the power supply there are some parts that are
always working. To switch off the video recorder completely you must unplug it from the
power supply.
• This video recorder is designed to run from the UK standard mains supply of 230 volts, 50
Hertz.
• Make sure air can flow freely through the ventilation slots on the video recorder.
• Don’t put objects containing liquid on the video recorder. If liquid spills into the video
recorder, unplug it immediately and contact Comet after-sales service for advice.
• Pull the mains plug out of the wall socket and disconnect the aerial lead during
thunderstorms. (The clock and timer settings will be lost after about one hour.)
• Do not let anyone push objects into holes and ventilation slots.
Important points
• Condensation can damage your video recorder. If the video recorder is cold when you
unpack it, leave it for several hours to become room temperature. Do not use the video
recorder immediately after moving from a cold room to a hot room or a hot room to a cold
room. Do not use the video recorder in very damp conditions.
• Most televisions switch automatically to the AV (audio video) channel when a video
cassette is played. If your television does not do this automatically you will have to turn it
to ‘EXT’, ‘0’, ‘AV’ or ‘scart’.
• Under normal circumstances keep your video recorder plugged into the mains all the time,
otherwise the aerial connection to your television will be interrupted and the television
picture will be poor.
• If there is a power cut, the video recorder will keep the time and record timer set for up
to an hour. After that, the video recorder will tell you to start the automatic installation
procedure again, as described on page 13. You will also have to re-set the timer
programmes.
• Throw away old remote control batteries at a battery disposal point.
• Please recycle your video recorder’s packaging. When your video recorder is worn out,
take it to your local recycling point.
• The video recorder switches on automatically and the green front-panel display gets
brighter when you put a cassette in or press a control button.
