1. INSTALLATION

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:

1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A, A.S.T.A. or BSI

approved type.

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
5A. 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.

Connecting the cables

1 Insert the aerial plug into the

If you use the auxiliary aerial supplied, push the aerial into the
mounting on the back panel until it snaps into place.
Pull out the telescopic rod(s) as far as required. Tilt and rotate
the aerial until you have got the best picture quality.

socket.

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’)

1 The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is

marked with the letter ’N’ or coloured BLACK.

2 The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal

which is marked with the letter ’L’ or coloured RED.

3 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.

2 Insert the plug of the mains cable into the wall socket.

3 Switch the set on. The power switch

the left side panel of the set.

Programme a recording

The set needs the following information for every pro­grammed recording:

* the date on which the recording is to be made
* the programme number for the TV channel
* the start and end time of the recording
* VPS/PDC on or off

The set stores all the information mentioned above in what is
known as a TIMER block. It can store 6 TIMER blocks for up
to one month in advance.

’VPS’ (Video Programming System)/ ’PDC’
(Programme Delivery Control)

With ’VPS/PDC’, the TV station controls the start and the
duration of a programmed recording. This means that the
video recorder switches itself on and off at the right time
even if a TV programme you have programmed begins earlier
or finishes later than expected.
Usually the start time is the same as the ’VPS/PDC’ time. If,
however, a different ’VPS/PDC’ time is given, e.g.: ’20.15
(VPS/PDC 20.14)’, you have to enter ’20.14’ (the ’VPS/PDC’
time) exactly to the minute.
If you are not using ’VPS/PDC’, the ’VPS/PDC’ indication must
be off.
