How to use these operating instructions
The illustrations are mainly of the VTR, but any button on the remote controller with the same name has the same function as that on the VTR.
The numbers in the illustrations and in the descriptive sentences on each page indicate the sequence of operating steps.
In this way, you can relate a particular control to an action and, where appropriate, to a visual display by the same number.

Setting Up
Connections
This tells you how to connect with an aerial, TV, etc.
Tuning the TV into your VTR
The VTR supplies signal to the TV set via the RF coaxial cable on channel 36 of the UK broadcasting system. Your TV must be tuned into this channel in order to view the VTR playback picture.
If connection to the TV includes the 21 pin scart cable or S-Video/Audio cable, the playback picture can be viewed by selecting AV on your TV.
The RF coaxia: cable must still be connected as shown on page 9, but the TV need not be tuned to channel 36.
Storing TV Broadcasts into your VTR
The VTR is fitted with its own TV tuner (just like a normal TV set) and can be tuned to receive up to 99 TV broadcast stations.
Setting the Clock of the VTR
The built-in clock is used to activate the timer for automatic recording and must be set to the correct time.
Controls, Indicators and Connection Sockets
This gives a detailed explanation of the function of each button, switch, indicator and connection socket.
The Video Cassette
Connections
Basic Connections

The following connections are required to record and play back the VTR through a TV set:

Connect an external aerial to RF IN.

Connect RF OUT to the TV aerial connector ( ).

Connect the AC mains lead to the AC mains socket.
Additional Connections

1. Connection to a TV Set with 21 Pin Scart Terminal
The Scarl connection is optional but will be required to playback Hi-Fi stereo sound through a stereo TV. See page 20 for more details.
Note: It is possible to view the Satellite programme during the VTR off, if the VTR is connected to the mains and NORMAL'S-VIDEO OUT:TEST SIGNAL switch is NORMAL position.
4. Connection to a TV Set with S-Video Socket
This VTR uses the S-VHS format which makes it possible to obtain high resolution and high picture quality by using the high-performance S-VHS video cassette tapes.
The conventional video sockets of VTRs outputs/inputs a combination of the luminance signal (Y) the monochrome part of the picture and colour signal (C) which are recorded on the video tape. The new S (Separate)-Video Socket allows separate transmission of these two signals to a TV set in order to obtain clearer pictures.
The connection with the S-Video Cable can also be used for playback of a tape that was recorded in the conventional VHS system. The "S" in the "S-Video Socket" stands for "SEPARATED Y/C" not for "S-VHS".


Operations
1

Turn the TV on. The VTR should also be turned on by pressing VTR on the front panel of the video.

4

After tuning the test bars into the TV, set NORMAL/S-VIDEO OUT/TEST SIGNAL to NORMAL. Position 5 is now your video channel.
Note:
The TEST signal is transmitted on channel 36 of the UK broadcasting channels. If you are encountering interference from another broadcast on the video channel, you may readjust to a free channel by using the CH ADJ. screw which is located on the rear of the VTR.
Please note that if the CH ADJ. screw is used then you will have to return your TV to the TEST signal as in item 2 to 4 above.

The NICAM Broadcast System

NICAM is a 2 Channel sound broadcast system to provide either a high quality stereo sound track or 2 independent MONO sound tracks, M1 and M2.
NICAM programmes are always accompanied by standard sound broadcasts and you can select the desired sound with NICAM/MONO (when recording) or with AUDIO OUT (when playback).
The NICAM digital stereo sound can only be recorded on the Hi-Fi audio track.
When a stereo, dual-soundtrack or mono NICAM programme is being received, the indicators are lit to inform you of the type of broadcast.
Reception of a NICAM Stereo Broadcast
When the STEREO indicator is lit, set NICAM/MONO to NICAM to be able to record on the Hi-Fi sound track in stereo.
The scart lead must also be connected to a stereo TV in order to hear the NICAM sound in stereo.
Reception of a NICAM Dual-Sound Broadcast
When the M1 and M2 indicators are lit, set NICAM/MONO to NICAM if you want to record both channels on the Hi-Fi sound track. M1 is the left-hand channel and M2 is the right-hand channel.
Reception of a NICAM Monaural Broadcast
When a NICAM monaural broadcast is being received, only the M1 indicator is lit. To hear such a signal on both channels and to record it on both channels of the Hi-Fi track, set NICAM/MONO to NICAM.
- To record the regular sound (ordinary normal sound) on the FM audio tracks when a NICAM programme is received, set NICAM/MONO to MONO.
Important Note for the NICAM System
When this VTR tuner is switched on, it will automatically switch to a NICAM broadcast. if NICAM is being transmitted. During test transmissions, it is possible that the sound received doesn't correspond to the picture being viewed. In order to receive a synchronized sound and picture, select monaural sound with either AUDIO OUT or with NICAM/MONO. This will only apply until NICAM transmissions are fully operational.
At this time the NICAM signal is transmitted on stereo channels only, since the M1 and M2 formats are not yet available. Even if the soundtrack is in MONO the stereo indicator will remain illuminated.

NTSC 4.43 is a modified version of the PAL broadcasting system to allow most UK TV's to reproduce a colour picture when an NTSC tape is replayed on this VTR. However due to the system change, the picture may shrink, roll or not reproduce colour on some Televisions. - During playback of NTSC recordings, the Tape Counter does not function correctly.
Scanner Preparation
Set the Digital Scanner ON/OFF Switch to ON.
If no operation is performed for more than 25 seconds (4 minutes during setting of the clock time), the scanner will automatically switch over to the power-saving standby condition and the lamp will go off. (In this case, if bar codes have already been read but not yet transmitted to the VTR, the data will be cancelled.)
When the Digital Scanner On/Off Switch is set to ON but the lamp is not lit, set the switch to OFF and then ON again.

Reading the bar codes
1 Fit the digital scanner to the scanning adaptor.
2 Trace the bar code quickly in the direction of the arrow, ensuring that you trace it completely past the last bar. The "Beep" sound indicates that the bar code has been read completely.
When the Bar Codes Cannot be Read
Although the lamp in the tip of the Bar Code Reading Section lights up:
●No figures appear in the Display
- No beep sounds is heard:
The tip of the Bar Code Reading Section is probably clogged with dirt.

Cleaning
1 Remove the cap of the Bar Code Reading Section.
- Remove dirt and dust from the hole of the cap.
2 Gently wipe the tip of the lamp with a soft cloth.
●Reattach the cap and lock it.
Remote Control Modes

Precautions
Please read these cautions before you operate this VTR.
Cassette Compartment Door
When first unpacking the unit, you may notice that the cassette compartment door is partially open. This condition is due to the operation of a safety device designed to protect the unit from vibration during shipment; it is not a malfunction. When the AC mains lead is connected to a mains outlet, the door will return to its original position.
Avoid Sudden Changes in Temperature
If the VTR is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm place, moisture may form on the tape and inside the VTR.
Humidity and Dust
Avoid places where there is high humidity or much dust, which may cause damage to internal parts.
Do Not Obstruct the Ventilation Holes
The Ventilation holes prevent abnormal increase in temperature. Do not block or cover these holes. Especially avoid covering the holes with soft materials such as cloth or paper.
Keep away from High Temperature
Keep the VTR away from extreme direct heat such as direct sunlight, heating radiators, or closed automobiles.
Keep Magnets away
Never bring a magnet or magnetized object near the VTR because it will adversely affect the performance of the VTR.
No Fingers or Other Objects Inside
Touching internal parts of this VTR is dangerous, and may cause serious damage to the VTR. Do not attempt to disassemble the VTR. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Keep Water away
Keep the VTR away form flower vases. tubs, sinks, etc. CAUTION: If liquids are spilled into the VTR, serious damage could occur. If you spill any liquid into the VTR, consult qualified service personnel.
Lightning
To avoid damage by lightning, disconnect the aerial plug from the VTR.
Cleaning the VTR
Wipe the VTR with a clean, dry cloth. Never use cleaning fluid, or other chemicals. And do not use compressed air to remove dust.
Stacking
Place the VTR in a horizontal position, and do not place anything heavy on it.
Video Head Clogging
The video heads place picture signals on the tape during recording and read picture signals from the tape during playback and they are, therefore, of critical importance for the picture quality. To ensure that they can always provide optimum picture quality, this VTR is equipped with an Auto Head Cleaning Function that removes tape particles and dust from the video heads. However, if the VTR is used over extremely long periods of time, these heads may still become dirty and clogged. In such a case, the signals can no longer be recorded correctly, and the playback picture will be distorted accordingly. This is the case, for example, during the playback of a tape, the sound is reproduced normally, but no picture is seen, or the picture is greatly distorted. When such a symptom occurs consult your dealer for further advice.
Condensation may form in the VTR if:
• The VTR is in a room where the heater has just been turned on.
- The VTR is in a room with steam or high humidity.
• The VTR is brought from cold surroundings into a well-heated room.
- The VTR is suddenly brought from cool surroundings, such as an air-conditioned room or car, to a place which is hot and humid.
Note:
Do not operate the VTR for at least 1 hour if any of the above conditions occur.
This VTR does not incorporate a dew sensor.
Tape Care
Some do's and don'ts on tape care.
DO:
1) Use a good quality branded tape, such as Panasonic.
2) Keep in the Box supplied with your tape, or a video case, when not in use.
3) Try to use all the tape on a cassette by making recordings not only at the tape start but also in the middle and end sections. This will avoid many repeated recordings at the beginning of the tape resulting in premature wear.
4) Take care to insert a tape correctly in to the VTR to avoid damage.
DO NOT:
1) Expose the tape to high humidity or temperature.
2) Expose to liquid.
3) Expose to dust particles by storing directly on a carpet for example.
4) Use a damaged tape or attempt to repair.
5) Dismantle the cassette housing.
6) Attempt to lift the front cassette flap or touch the tape surface.
