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:
a Remove fuse cover and fuse.
b Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 3A, A.S.T.A. or
BSI approved type.
c 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.
DNote: * 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
automatically be loaded.
d The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which
is marked with the letter ’N’ or coloured BLACK.
e The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter ’L’ or coloured RED.
f Do not connect either wires to the earth terminal in the
plug which is marked with the letter ’E’ or by the safety
earth symbol \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.
Connecting to the TV-set
When you install your Video recorder for the first time, please

* VPS/PDC on or off
* 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’.
DWith most TV stations the VPS/PDC time is always the
same as the start time.
Programming with ’VIDEO Plus+’
All the information required for a programming is contained
encoded in the PlusCode programming number.
d Enter the entire PlusCode number (up to 9 digits) printed
in your TV guide next to the start time of a TV programme.
If you made a mistake, clear with the CLEAR (CL) button.
