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 of 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).
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).
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.

Care and Safety Information
English
CAUTION!
High voltage! Do not open the
device. You run the risk of getting
an electric shock.
The machine does not contain any
user-serviceable parts. Please leave
all maintenance work to quali ed
personnel.
Setup precautions
Finding a suitable location
– Place the set on a at, hard and stable
surface. Do not place the set on a carpet.
– Do not position the set on top of
other equipment that might heat it up
(e.g., receiver or ampli er).
– Do not put anything under the set
(e.g., CDs, magazines).
– Install this unit near the AC outlet and
where the AC power plug can be
reached easily.
Space for ventilation
– Place the apparatus in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent internal
heat build up. Allow at least 10 cm (4”)
clearance from the rear and the top of
the set and 5 cm (2”) from the left and
right to prevent overheating.
Avoid high temperatures, moisture,
water and dust
– Apparatus must not be exposed to
dripping or splashing.
– Do not place any sources of danger
on the apparatus (e.g., liquid lled
objects, lighted candles).
Cleaning discs
Some problems occur because the disc
inside the recorder is dirty (frozen picture,
sound disruptions, picture distortions). To
avoid these problems, discs should be
cleaned on a regular basis.
To clean a disc, use a micro bre cleaning
cloth and wipe the disc from the centre
to the edge in a straight line.
CAUTION!
Do not use solvents such as benzene,
thinner, commercially available cleaners,
or anti-static sprays intended for discs.
HDD (Hard Disk Drive)
handling care
The hard disk drive (HDD) has a high
storage density that enables long
recording duration and high speed data
access. Depending on the setup
environment and handling, some content
may be damaged resulting in failure of
playback and recording. To avoid damage
to the HDD and losing important data,
observe following precautions:
– Do not move the recorder or subject
it to vibration.
– Do not remove the AC power plug
from the mains socket without switching
the recorder to standby mode.
WARNING!
The HDD is not a device for storing
recorded content permanently. We
recommend that you copy important
video content to a recordable DVD as
backup.
