Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment) are properly made in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Switch off and remove the mains plug when making or changing any connections.

Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.

Don’t continue to operate the equipment if you are ever in doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way. Switch it off withdraw the plug from the mains and consult your dealer.

Don’t leave the equipment switched On when it is unattended for long periods of time, unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode.

Don’t remove any fixed covers as this may expose you to dangerous voltages.

Electrical safety

Make sure your electricity supply is the same voltage as the voltage printed on the label on the back of the main unit of your receiver. The receiver needs a 230-volt (V) 50-hertz (Hz) mains supply. Do not use any other supply. The receiver comes with a fitted plug. If the plug breaks, you cannot reuse the plug. If you need to change the fuse in a moulded plug you must refit the fuse cover. If you lose or damage the fuse cover, you must not use the plug until you have a replacement plug cover or plug.

If you have to change the plug because it is not suitable for your socket, or it is damaged, you should remove it and fit the right plug using the wiring diagram below. You must throw the plug away safely. You could get an electric shock if you use it again.

You must connect the blue wire to the terminal marked with the letter ‘N’ or which is coloured black.

You must connect the brown wire to the terminal marked with the letter ‘L’ or which is coloured red.

You should not connect anything to the earth terminal of the plug marked with the letter ‘E’ or which is coloured green.

You must always use the same fuse value as your receiver’s power-lead plug if you replace it.
