Important notes for users in the U.K.
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,
A.S.T.A. 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 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.Copyright in the U.K.: Recording

select the news option.
™ NEWS ON, TA ON or OFF is displayed briefly.

the function.
Notes:

does not work while recording a cassette.

during CD playback, playback will pause and you will be
able to hear the news/TA. Playback resumes after the
broadcast has finished. In tape mode, the tape continues
playing but you will hear the news/TA only until the
broadcast has finished.

EON station, the whole network is searched for the
respective news.
