FOIRE AUX QUESTIONS - VHR-789 SANYO

Comment programmer un enregistrement sur le Sanyo VHR-789 ?

Appuyez sur la touche PROG de la télécommande, utilisez les touches + et - pour régler la date, l'heure de début et de fin, puis la chaîne. Confirmez avec OK.

Que faire si la cassette se coince dans le lecteur ?

Débranchez l'appareil pendant 30 secondes, puis rebranchez-le. Si la cassette ne sort pas, insérez délicatement un tournevis dans l'orifice d'éjection manuelle (voir notice). En dernier recours, contactez un réparateur.

Comment nettoyer les têtes vidéo du magnétoscope ?

Utilisez une cassette de nettoyage VHS sèche. Insérez-la et lancez la lecture pendant 10 à 15 secondes. Ne répétez pas trop souvent pour éviter l'usure.

Pourquoi l'image est-elle neigeuse ou instable ?

Cela peut être dû à des têtes sales, une cassette abîmée ou un mauvais réglage de la chaîne. Nettoyez les têtes d'abord, puis essayez une autre cassette. Vérifiez aussi le câble Péritel.

Comment régler l'horloge du Sanyo VHR-789 ?

Appuyez sur MENU, sélectionnez RÉGLAGE HORLOGE, puis utilisez les touches numériques ou +/- pour entrer la date et l'heure. Validez avec OK.

Puis-je connecter le magnétoscope à une télévision moderne ?

Oui, via la sortie Péritel (SCART). Si votre TV n'a pas de prise Péritel, utilisez un adaptateur Péritel-HDMI ou un convertisseur. La qualité sera standard.

Comment activer le verrouillage parental ?

Accédez au menu RÉGLAGES, choisissez VERROUILLAGE, entrez un code à 4 chiffres (ex: 0000) et confirmez. Les émissions verrouillées seront bloquées.

Où trouver les pièces détachées pour ce modèle ?

Vous pouvez commander des têtes vidéo, courroies et alimentations sur des sites spécialisés en pièces détachées électroniques ou chez un réparateur agréé Sanyo.

Comment transférer des cassettes VHS vers un ordinateur ?

Branchez la sortie audio/vidéo du magnétoscope à un convertisseur USB. Utilisez un logiciel de capture (ex: OBS) pour enregistrer en numérique.

Que faire si la télécommande ne fonctionne plus ?

Vérifiez les piles, remplacez-les si nécessaire. Pointez la télécommande directement vers le capteur. Si toujours inopérante, un remplacement universel est possible.

ERROR MESSAGE

If you make an error when controlling the VCR, warning messages indicating the problem are displayed for about 3 seconds. See page 33 for details.

Connect all your equipment together according to the illustrations shown in this section. Be sure you have all leads and remote control batteries correctly installed before proceeding to the next section.

MAINS LEAD CONNECTIONS

- If the plug supplied with this appliance is not suitable for the wall socket in your home, it should be cut off and the correct type fitted.

The wires in the mains lead are coloured according to the following code:

Blue: Neutral

Brown: Live

If the colours of the wires do not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows.

● The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured blue or black.
● The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured brown or red.

DISPOSAL OF PLUG

If the non rewireable plug is to be cut off, the removed plug should be disposed of carefully as there is a shock hazard should the plug be inserted into a live socket.

REPLACING THE FUSE

The detachable fuse cover must be replaced after changing the fuse. Only a 3A fuse should be used, it should comply with BS1362, and should carry the ASTA mark.

AERIAL OUTPUT CABLE (RF) CONNECTION & ADDITIONAL SCART/AV CONNECTION

Connect your equipment together using the aerial output cable (supplied).

Connect an additional SCART/AV lead (not supplied) between the VCR and TV as shown above to obtain better quality picture and sound during playback.

When using a SCART lead connection the TV will automatically switch to AV mode whenever the PLAY or VIDEO Plus+ button is pressed.

To access any of the VCR's on-screen menus switch your TV to AV mode.

SATELLITE, CABLE OR DIGITAL SET TOP BOX CONNECTION

Connect your satellite, cable or digital set top box receiver as shown above.

If you have connected a standard satellite or cable box, switch the unit on and select SKY1. The programme will then be stored in programme position number 6 during the Auto Setup procedure.

Due to the digital broadcast signal being different to terrestrial analogue broadcast signals, the VCR will not be able to store the signal from your set top box during the Auto setup process.

Please refer to your satellite/cable/digital instructions for detailed information on connection.

HI-FI CONNECTION

Connecting your Hi-Fi to the VCR as shown above you can obtain a dynamic sound output when you playback a tape recorded in Hi-Fi stereo on this VCR.

Please refer to your Hi-Fi instructions for connection lead details.

JUST REC. FUNCTION

During a timer recording, the VCR will automatically calculate the remaining tape duration and, if necessary switch the recording speed from SP (standard play) to LP (long play), so that the entire programme can be recorded.

● This function is not available during Quick Start Recording.

- If two or more timer recordings are set, all the programmes may not fit on a single tape. If that is the case do not select JUST REC. mode, select the tape recording speed manually.
● This function will not work if the PDC function is set on a timer recording.
● Some interference may occur in the image where the speed has been changed.

PDC FUNCTION

The PDC (Programme Delivery Control) function ensures that if any changes are made to the on and off times of a programme by the TV station, the timer recording will be adjusted automatically. Also, if for example the programme is interrupted by a news flash the recording will pause and resume when finished.

• If the recording start time and date is not set exactly as advertised and there is a change to the broadcast, the PDC function will not work.
  ● Not all TV stations transmit PDC signals. Check in your region for details.
• If the station does not transmit PDC signals or if the function is not set, the recording will be done at the programmed times.
