1. CONNECTING YOUR TV-VIDEO COMBI

Important for the United Kingdom

This machine is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug, please follow these instructions.

a Take off the fuse cover and take out the fuse.

b Put in a new fuse which should be a BS1362 3A, A.S.T.A.

or BSI approved type.

c Refit the fuse cover.

If the plug fitted is not suitable for your socket, cut it off and fit another type. If the plug you fit contains a fuse, it should be a 3Amp fuse. If you fit a plug which does not need a fuse, make sure the fuse on your fuse box is not greater than 5 Amps.

DNote: Please destroy the plug you have cut off so that it

cannot be used in a 13 Amp socket somewhere else.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the lead from the video recorder are coloured as follows. * Blue - ’neutral’ (’N’). * Brown - ’live’ (’L’).

d Connect the blue wire to the terminal in the plug which is

marked with the letter ’N’ or coloured black.

e Connect the brown wire to the terminal in the plug which

is marked with the letter ’L’ or coloured red.

Connecting the cables

a Insert the aerial plug into the 2 socket.

b Insert the plug of the mains cable into the wall socket.

c If the little red light at the front of the set is not alight,

please switch on the set. The power switch 8 is located on the left side panel of the set.

Connecting a decoder or other equipment

You can also connect additional equipment to the EXT.1 socket. For instance, a satellite receiver, decoder or camcorder.

f Do not connect either of the wires to the terminal in the

plug which is marked with the letter ’E’, the symbol \or coloured green or green and yellow.

Before you refit the plug cover, make sure that the grip at the bottom of the plug is clamped over the plastic cover of the lead, not just over the two wires.
