About your device

Your DVD recorder is a digital video player and recorder.Thanks
to its tuner you can watch and record TV progammes on
DVD+R and DVD+RW discs. It can play the majority of 8 cm
and 12 cm discs, with the exception of DVD Rom, DVD Ram,
and DVD audio.

• Ensure that the mains supply in your house complies with that indicated on the identification
sticker located at the back of your device. Install your device horizontally, on a suitable base
(furniture), with enough space around it for ventilation (7-10 cm) • Ensure that the ventilation
slots, and the device itself, are not covered by objects such as a mat, newspapers, curtain, etc.
• Do not stack any other equipment on top of your DVD recorder. Do not place the device on
top of an amplifier or any other equipment that gives off heat • The appliance should not be in
contact with liquids or exposed to the risk of dripping or splashing.Therefore be careful not to
place any object containing a liquid (vase, glass, bottle,...) on or near your appliance • The DVD
recorder must not be near or exposed to a flame. For instance, do not place a candle on or near
the device • Protect the DVD recorder from moisture and excess heat (e.g. fireplace) or
equipment creating strong magnetic or electric fields (i. e. speakers ...). Before moving the device,
ensure the disc tray is empty. Switching off the DVD recorder to the stand-by mode does not
disconnect the electricity supply. In order to separate the device completely from the mains, it has
to be disconnected by unplugging the mains plug.When connecting, ensure that the plugs of the
various cables are pushed securely into their corresponding sockets.Your DVD recorder is not
