Important for the United Kingdom
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp
plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as
follows:
• Remove fuse cover and fuse.
• Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 3A, A.S.T.A.
or BSI approved type.
• Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it
should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of
3A. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the
distribution board should not be greater than 5A.
Note: The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a
possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A
socket elsewhere.
How to connect a plug: The wires in the mains lead are
coloured in accordance with the following code:
BLUE - ’NEUTRAL’ (’N’) BROWN - ’LIVE’ (’L’)
• The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which
is marked with the letter ’N’ or coloured BLACK. The
BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter ’L’ or coloured RED.
• Do not connect either wires to the earth terminal in the
plug which is marked with the letter ’E’ or by the safety
earth symbol \ or coloured green or green-and-yellow.
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord
grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over
the two wires.
Connecting cables

it into the
2
socket at the back of the video recorder.
2 Plug one end of the aerial cable provided into the
3
socket on the video recorder and the other end
into the aerial input socket on your TV set.
3 If your television does not have a scart (AV-Euro) socket
please do not read further here, but turn to Chapter 4,
’SPECIAL FEATURES’. In the section ’Playback via the
aerial cable’ you will find further information.
4 Insert the plug of a scart cable into the scart socket
EXT.1
at the back of your video recorder. Connect the
other plug to the TV set.

socket

Important notes for operation
• Many televisions switch automatically to the ’EXT’
(EXTernal) or ’AV’ (Audio/Video) programme number
when a video cassette is played back.
If the television does not switch automatically, you will
have to select the ’EXT’, ’0’, or ’AV’ programme number
on the TV set manually.
• Keep your video recorder connected to the mains and the
power switch in ’on’ position at all times to ensure that
programmed recordings can be made and that the
television functions normally. The power consumption
required is low.
• The video recorder switches on automatically as soon as
you insert a cassette or press the
P q
button.
• If the video recorder is not used for a few minutes in
some functions, it switches to standby automatically.
• Back-up power supply: TV channel storage - typically 1
year, Clock/Timer - 30 minutes
• If you switch the video recorder to standby using the
STANDBY m
button, the current time will appear in the
display, e.g.: ’20:00’ .
If the clock has not been set, ’--:--’ will appear in the
display.
