- Ensure that your Video is placed in a position to allow a free flow of air.
- Position your Video so that no bright light or sunlight falls directly onto it.
- Care should be taken not to expose your Video to any unnecessary vibration, moisture, dust or heat.
- During electrical storms it is advisable to unplug both the aerial cable and mains plug to prevent accidental damage to your Video and TV.
- Do not operate your Video if it is damaged.

High quality video tapes will not normally deposit dirt onto the video heads, but old or damaged tapes may. This dirt can accumulate on the video heads after a long period of time and cause the picture to become blurred or broken up.
To clean the video heads use a video heads cleaning tape available from electrical stores.
Introducing your Video and Remote Control
Most of your Video's functions are accessed using the Remote Control. A summary of the functions of the main
buttons are shown below (right), other buttons are described elsewhere in this guide.
Before using the remote control, press the VCR or TV button to select the device to be operated.
Basic functions of your Video can also be operated using the control panel on the front of your Video.
Connecting to a television
The information given here refers to the two most common forms of connection. Make sure that all the appliances are unplugged from the mains power, before making any connections to avoid causing damage to your equipment. Using an AV cable to connect your appliances will give you the best sound and picture quality.
Note: FC290W has no AUDIO IN (R) and AUDIO OUT (R) sockets.
Connection guide
Roof aerial
Your outside aerial should be connected to the AERIAL socket of your Video.
RF cable
If you are using the RF cable, a connection needs to be made from the RF.OUT socket on your Video to the aerial socket on your television.
AV socket
If you have an AV socket connection on your television, you can connect the television's AUDIO IN/VIDEO IN sockets to the AUDIO OUT/VIDEO OUT sockets on the back of the Video.
Tune a video channel
If you are using an AV connection, the video picture will be shown on the AV channel of your television.
If you are using an RF cable, you need to select a video channel on your television and tune it to the video signal, a test picture.
Turn on the video and TV.
Select the vacant position 36 on your TV.
Press POWER ☐ on the remote control to put the video on standby, then press and hold PROG. ▲ or ▼ on the front of your video for more than 4 seconds. If the test picture appears clearly on the television screen, position 36 is your video channel.

Select a vacant position between 22 and 68 on your television.
Press PROG. ▲ or ▼ on the video until the test picture appears clearly on the television screen.
You can also set the output frequency to OFF if there is any interference when your TV is connected to the video with an AV cable.
Tuning in TV stations
The first time you use your video, you will see ACMS (Automatic Channel Memory System) displayed on the screen. This system automatically tunes and stores TV channels. If you want to return to ACMS after your initial setup, access it via the menu.
Using ACMS
1 Press the POWER ⏻ to turn on your video. 2 Select the video channel you have tuned on your television, refer to your TV user guide if necessary. The ACMS menu screen will appear.
FC290W Only: Use ◀ or ▶ to select a desired TV system according to the area you live in (I/I or B/G, D/K).
3 Press OK to start the automatic tuning process. 4 When the ACMS has finished, a screen showing all the channels that have been found and the positions they have been placed in will be displayed.
5 Check that the channels correspond to the positions in which you want them. If they are not in the order that you would like, they can be moved or deleted. See Changing the order of the television stations and Deleting the television stations. 6 Press 1 to store the settings.
Changing the order of the television stations
You will find it useful to have a current television programme guide to hand during this operation.
1 Press i to access the main menu. Use ◀ or ▶ to select PR SET then press OK. 2 Press 1 again. 3 Use either the ▲ or ▼ buttons to select the programme number that you wish to move. Then press ▶. 4 Press ▲ or ▼ until you reach the position you wish to store the channel in. 5 Press OK. The programme will move to the new position. 6 Press i to leave the menu. To move other programs, repeat the above process.
Deleting the television stations
1 Press i to access the main menu. 2 Use ◀ or ▶ to select PR SET then press OK.
3 Press i then use ▲ or ▼ to select the programme number you wish to delete. 4 Press ◀, after a short while the selected station will be deleted. The remaining stations are resorted automatically. 5 Press i to remove the menu. If you wish to delete further stations, repeat the above process.
Selecting ACMS
1 Turn on your television and your Video and select the video channel on your television. 2 Press i to access the main menu. Press ◀ or ▶ to select ACMS, and then OK. 3 Follow the instructions in Using ACMS, at the beginning of this page.
Tuning and adjusting TV stations manually
You may prefer to tune your television manually. Manual tuning can be more effective if the television signal in your area is too weak for the ACMS to work properly. You can also fine tune your channels and customise the channel names.
Manual tuning
1 Turn on your television and your Video. Select the video channel on your television and press i to access the main menu. 2 Press either ◀ or ▶ to select PR SET then press OK. 3 Press i again and the television station table will then appear. 4 Use the ▲ or ▼ buttons to select the programme number you want to tune then press OK. 5 FC290W Only: Press OK again and use ▲ or ▼ to select a desired TV system according to the area you live in (V or B/G, D/K).
6 FC290W Only: Press OK. 7 Select the CH section (if not already selected) by using the ◀ or ▶ buttons and then press AV to select C (Standard stations) or S (Cable stations).
8 Use the ▲ or ▼ buttons to move through the channel numbers to find the required station. 9 The station can be fine tuned to improve picture quality. Select MFT (Manual Fine Tuning) using the ◀ or ▶ buttons. Use the ▲ or ▼ buttons to adjust the picture. 10 Select STATION by pressing ▶ you can then name your station. 11 Press OK.
12 Use the ▲ or ▼ to select letters and numbers for the new station name up to a maximum of 5. 13 Press ◀ or ▶ to move between the characters. 14 Press OK. 15 To confirm the station placement press i. 16 Press 1 again to remove the menu.
17 The new station has now been stored into your Video. If you wish to manually tune other channels you should repeat the above procedure. To move the manually tuned channel to its correct position see Changing the order of the television stations on page 5. If it is necessary for you to tune all the television stations manually you may find it easier if you write the CH numbers down for each station as you find them. You can then select each channel from the main menu and type the CH numbers in directly. Each channel will then be in the correct position so there is no need to change them later.
Operating your Video

MOISTURE CONDENSATION
If you pour a cold liquid into a glass, water vapor in the air will condense on the surface of the glass. This is moisture condensation. Moisture condensation on the head drum, one of the most crucial parts of the unit, will cause damage to the tape. When this set is exposed to a rapid temperature change from cold to warm, some condensation will occur. Under this condition, connect the power cord to the AC line, press POWER button on and allow at least two hours for the unit to dry out.
VIDEO HEAD CLEANING
- It is possible that the heads may become clogged when playing an old or damaged tape. If the image on your screen resembles the picture on the left while playing back a tape, the heads may require cleaning.
- To clean the heads, obtain a head cleaning tape from your local video dealer. Follow the instructions that come with the cleaning tape, as excessive use can shorten head life.
