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).
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.

Step 1: Basic Recorder Connections
Connecting the antenna
cables
These connections enable you to watch
and record TV programmes using this
recorder. If the antenna signal is
connected via a Cable Box or Satellite
Receiver, ensure that these devices are
turned on in order to watch or record
the cable programmes.
This recorder is equipped with a hybrid
analogue-digital tuner for TV reception.
You can connect your indoor digital
terrestrial antenna to receive digital TV
broadcast.
If you want to connect to a VCR
and/or a separate Cable Box/
Satellite Receiver, read chapter “Step
2: Optional Connections” for details.
A Connect the existing Antenna/ Cable TV
signal (or from the Cable Box/Satellite
Receiver {RF OUT or TO TV}) to the
ANTENNA-IN socket on the
recorder.
B Connect the supplied RF antenna cable
from the ANTENNA TO TV
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’ll
have to disconnect some of the cables before
you make the antenna connection.
