DICHIARAZIONE DI CONFORMITÀ'

Si dichiara che l'apparecchio Lettore CD/Radioregistratore mod. AZ 8070 Phiiips risponde alle prescrizioni dell'alt. 2 comma 1 del 0. M. 28 Agosto 1995 n.548.

Fatto a Eindhoven, il 18/09/1996

Philips Sounds Vision

Philips, Glaslaan 2. SFF10

5616 JB Eindhoven, The Netherlands

Mains plug 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 5 Amp, AS.TA 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 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.

Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to a void a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code' blue = neutral (N), brown = live it). As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows.

• Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or col oured black.

• Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or col oured red

• Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or k) 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.
