anything heavy on it.

Condensation

Moisture may form on the pickup lens in the following condi­tions:

• immediately after a heater has been turned on.

• in a steamy or very humid room.

• when the Player is suddenly moved from a cold environ-

ment to a warm one.

enter the Player and cause damage, fire, or electrical shock.
These substances may also deteriorate the finish of your
Player.

If there is Noise Interference on the TV While a
Broadcast is being Received

Depending on the reception condition of the TV, interference
may appear on the TV monitor while you watch a TV broad­cast and the Player is left on. This is not a malfunction of the
Player or the TV.To watch a TV broadcast, turn off the
Player.

and 1972 and to any subsequent statutory enactments and

some parts) every 1,000 hours. Note that this period varies
depending on the environment (temperature, humidity, dust,
etc.) in which the Player is used. Contact your authorized

CONNECTION TO POWER

The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 3A fuse.
Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked or and of
the same rating as above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used.
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied,
cut-off the mains plug and fit an appropriate type.
DANGER: The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed

immediately and disposed of in a safe manner.
Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket

outlet, as a serious electric shock may occur.
To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

-The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or
coloured black.

-The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or
coloured red.
Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin
plug.
Before replacing the plug cover make sure that:

-If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug.

-The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead and not simply over the lead wires.
IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Note: A 5A fuse is also acceptable for a non-rewireable (moulded) plug which is used for this product.
