The power cord on your subwoofer may be supplied with a plug incorporating a
fuse, the value of which is indicated on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse
need to be replaced, an ASTAor BSI approved BS1362 fuse must be used of the
same rating. If the plug is cut off it must NOT be re-used. Dispose of any such
plug safely. There is a danger of electric shock if a cut-off plug is inserted into a
mains socket.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow- Earth: Blue - Neutral: Brown- Live.
