the function and start again. And you can practise operating
your video recorder without any worries. No matter which
buttons you press, you cannot damage it.
Important notes
E You can switch on with the STOP h button, the
0-9 buttons or by putting in a cassette.
E Keep your video recorder connected to the mains at all
times so that it can make programmed recordings and the

than 4 Watts in energy-saving mode.
E When the video recorder is not plugged into the mains, it
will usually store TV channels for a year, and date and
timer information for seven hours.

mSTANDBY button. The clock time will still be displayed.
