Important notes for users in U.K.

Mains plug

This apparatus is  tted with an approved 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, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

3 Re t the fuse cover.

If the  tted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug  tted 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 off to avoid 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 (L).

For å redusere faren for brann eller elektrisk støt, skal apparatet ikke utsettes for regn eller fuktighet.

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 coloured black. – Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red. – Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and yellow).

Connecting the antenna cables

These connections enable you to watch and record TV programmes using the recorder. If the antenna signal is connected via Cable Box or Satellite Receiver, ensure that these devices are turned on in order to watch or record the cable programmes.

If you want to connect to a Cable



Box/Satellite Receiver, see the chapter “Step 2 : Optional Connections – Connecting to a Cable Box or Satellite Receiver” for the complete connections to your TV.

Connect the existing Antenna/Satellite

Receiver/Cable TV signal (labelled as RF

OUT or TO TV) to the ANTENNA-IN

socket on the recorder.

Use the supplied RF coaxial cable to

connect the TV-OUT socket on the

recorder to the antenna input socket (or

labelled as VHF/UHF RF IN) on your TV.

Helpful Hint:

– Depending on how you have currently

connected your TV channel (directly from an

off-air antenna or Cable box or VCR), you

may have to disconnect some of the cables

before you make the antenna connection.

TIPS: Before making or changing any connections, make sure that all the devices are disconnected

from the power outlet.
