1.CONNECTING YOUR TV-VIDEO COMBI
Important for the United Kingdom |
|
Connecting the cables |
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
a Remove fuse cover and fuse.
bFix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
c 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.
DNote: * The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.
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’)
dThe BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter ’N’ or coloured BLACK.
eThe BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter ’L’ or coloured RED.
fDo 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 imply over the two wires.
a Insert the aerial plug into the 2 socket.
b Insert the plug of the mains cable into the wall socket.
cAdjust the radio aerial at the back of the machine to obtain the best possible reception quality by positioning the ends of the aerial in opposite directions.
d If the small red lamp at the front of the set is not alight, please switch on the set. The power switch 8 is located on the left side panel of the set.
Connecting a decoder or other equipment
You can also connect additional equipment to the EXT. 1
socket. For instance, a satellite receiver, decoder or camcorder.
