1. INSTALLATION
Important for the United Kingdom
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp
plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
m Remove fuse cover and fuse.
m Fix new fuse which should be a BS13623A,A.S.T.A. or
BSI approved type.
m 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
3A. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution
board should not be greater than 5A.
[}>• Note: * The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a
possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A
socket elsewhere.
How to connect a plug:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code:
BLUE-'NEUTRAL'('N')
BROWN - 'LIVE' ('L')
Connecting with scart cable and 'Easy link/NexTView'
With the function 'Easy Link/NexTView', your video recorder
can exchange information with the television. Heed the
operating instruction of your television.
With 'Easy Link/NexTView' the TV channels from the TV will

4. AUTOMATIC (PROGRAMMED) RECORDING
The video recorder needs the following information for every
programmed recording:
* the date on which the recording is to be made
* the programme number for the TV channel
*the start and stop time of the recording
*VPS/PDConoroff
*the recording speed (SP/LP)
The video recorder stores all the information mentioned above
in a TIMER block. You can programme up to 6 TIMER blocks,
one month in advance.
'VPS' (Video Programming System)/
'PDC' (Programme Delivery Control)
With 'VPS/PDC', the TV station controls the beginning and the
length of the programmed recording. This means that the
video recorder switches itself on and off at the right time
even if a TV programme you have programmed begins earlier
or finishes later than expected.
Usually the start time is the same as the VPS/PDC time. If,
however, in the TV guide, in addition to a TV programme's
start time, a different VPS/PDC time is given, e.g.: '20.15 (VPS
20.14)', you must enter '20.14' as the start time exactly to the
minute.
If you want to enter a time that differs from the VPS/PDC time,
you must switch off'VPS/PDC'.
With most TV stations the VPS/PDC time is always the
same as the start time.
Enterthe entire PlusCode (up to 9 digits) printed in your
TV guide next to the start time of a TV programme.
