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.

Recording and playback of material may require consent. See Copyright Act 1956 and The Performer’s Protection Acts 1958 to 1972.

Step 1: Basic Recorder Connections

Connecting the antenna cables

These connections enable you to watch and record TV programmes.

This recorder has two types of tuner input, one for digital TV reception and one for analogue TV reception. If you have a separate indoor digital terrestrial antenna or you want to connect your recorder to Cable TV as well as antenna, follow option 2. Otherwise, follow option 1.

Helpful Hints: – 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. – If you want to connect to a VCR and/or a separate Cable Box/ Satellite Receiver, see ‘Step 2: Optional Connections’ for details.

Before you start ... Select a suitable antenna connection.

Option 1: Connecting to a single off-air antenna

Use this connection if you have only an off-air antenna and wish to receive both analogue and digital TV programmes.

A Connect the existing Antenna cable (it

can be from the off-air wall socket or Cable Box) to the DIGITAL ANTENNA INPUT socket on the recorder.

Connect the Tuner interlink cable

(supplied) to the DIGITAL

ANTENNA LOOP THROUGH and ANALOG ANTENNA INPUT

sockets on the recorder.

C Connect a RF antenna cable (supplied)

from the TO TV ANTENNA INPUT

socket on the recorder to the antenna input socket on your TV (usually labelled as ANT, ANTENNA IN, RF IN).
