INTRODUCTION
The serial number of this product may be found on the back of the DVD/VCR. No others have the same serial number as
yours. You should record the number and other vital information here and retain this book as a
permanent record of your purchase to aid identification in case of theft. Serial numbers are not kept on file.
Before Switching on make sure that the voltage of your electricity
supply is the same as that indicated on the rating plate.
Mains Cord
This appliance may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If it is neces-
sary to change the fuse in a non-rewireable plug the fuse cover must
be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the plug must not be
used until a replacement available from the appliance manufacturer is
obtained. It is important that the colour of the replacement fuse cover
corresponds with the rating marking on the base of the plug. If the
plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or
becomes damaged, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted
following the wiring instructions below. The plug removed must be
disposed of safely as insertion into a 13A socket is likely to cause an
electrical hazard. For your own safety read the following instructions
carefully before attempting to connect this unit to mains. The wires in
this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
BLUE=NEUTRAL, BROWN=LIVE
Important
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may
not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals
in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured blue
must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N
or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown must be con-
nected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured
red. No connection is to be made to the earth terminal of the plug. If
a 13 Amp (BS 1363) Plug is used, a 3 Amp Fuse must be fitted, of if
any other type of Plug is used a 3 or 5
Amp Fuse must be fitted, either in the
Plug or Adaptor, or on the Distribution
Board. Mains Supply: 220 - 240 V ˜50 Hz
- AC only Do not make any connection to
the larger pin marked with the letter “E”
or by the symbol or coloured green or
green and yellow.
