SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.

The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 5A fuse.
Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked or

ASA

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 5A 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:

Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live

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 HDMI connections (High Definition Multimedia
Interface) permit digital video and audio transmission via
a connection cable from a player/recorder� The digital
picture and sound data are transmitted without data
compression and therefore lose none of their quality�
Analogue/digital conversion is no longer necessary in
the connected devices, which also would result in quality
losses�
