OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Thank you for buying a Philips TV-Video combi.

This TV-Video combi is one of the most sophisticated and easy-to-use TV-Video combi on the market. Please take the time to read this operating manual before using your TV-Video combi. It contains important information and notes regarding operation. The TV-Video combi should not

be turned on immediately after transportation

from a cold to a hot area or vice versa, or in conditions of extreme humidity. Wait at least three hours after transporting the device. The TVVideo combi needs this time in order to become acclimatised to its new environment (temperature, air humidity, etc.).

1. Connecting the TV-Video Combi

Important for the United Kingdom

This apparatus is fitted with an approved 5 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,ASTA 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.

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')

4.The BLUE wire must be connected to the termi-

nal which is marked with the letter 'N' or coloured BLACK.

terminal which is marked with the letter 'L' or coloured RED.

6.Do not connect either wires to the earth termi-

nai 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.
