Video Copy Protection Decoder
Take advantage of the legitimate possibility of copying and archiving rental
videos. This unit permits you to make copies of protected video films (VHS,
Video-8) and DVDs for private use. It removes all currently known video
copy protection systems. A newly developed circuit makes all manual con-
trols unnecessary and guarantees optimum picture quality. When switched
on, the decoder passes on all incoming signals so that you do not have to
swap copying cables.
Note: the German copyright protection law specifies that anyone who rents
a video cassette may make a copy of it for his or her own personal use.
However, the copy may not be lent or rented to other persons.
Please take a few minutes to read these operating instructions. We can
accept no liability for any damage which occurs as the result of non-com-
pliance with the instructions or as the result of using the unit for other than
its intended purpose!
Since the decoder is a high-quality electronic device, it should not be used
in locations where it is subjected to extreme temperatures, dust and moi-
sture. Use only a damp cloth (without detergents or abrasives) for cleaning
its case. Any repairs should be carried out only by a qualified service part-
ner.
Connecting the unit and preparing for use
➩ Switch off all devices (TV set, video recorders) before connecting the
decoder.
➩ Connect the video recorder or DVD player used for playback to the video
input (IN) of the decoder, using a suitable Scart cable (e.g. Hama No.
43154 or 53531; not included with the decoder).
Any further required Hama audio and video connecting cables are avai-
lable from your local dealer.
➩ The power for the decoder is provided by a plug-type power supply unit
(e.g. Hama No. 46500; not included with the decoder).
First set the power supply unit to an output voltage of 12 V and check
that the polarity is set correctly. Insert the small plug of the power supply
unit into the socket "DC IN" on the decoder and plug the power supply
unit into a mains outlet socket (230 V). The red LED "ON" must light.
➩ Switch on the video recorder, DVD player, etc. and set these to playback
mode. Observe the Operating Instructions of the equipment manufacturer!
