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 pro-
ceed as follows:
1.
1.Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2.
2.Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 3A, ASTA
or BSI approved type.
3.
3.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
t
he distribution board should not be greater than 3A.
How to connect a plug:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accor-
dance with the following code:
BLUE- 'NEUTRAL' ('N')
BROWN- 'LIVE' ('L')
4.
4.The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter 'N' or coloured
BLACK.
5.
5.The BROWN wire must be connected to the termi-
nal which is marked with the letter 'L' or coloured
RED.

6.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.

What is a scart cable?
The scart or Euro AV cable serves as the universal
connector for picture, sound and control signals.
With this type of connection, there is practically no
loss of quality during the picture or sound transfer.
• You can have the Hi-Fi sound on the TV only with
a scart cable.
