The mains lead of this product is fi tted 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
as above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used.
Always refi t the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fi tted.
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut off the
mains plug and fi t 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 fi t 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 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 fi tted 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.

tub, swimming pool and in a wet basement.
Do not place vases or any other water-fi lled containers on this product. The water may spill onto the product •
causing fi re or electric shock.
Stand—Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Doing so can •
cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the product.
Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold

Servicing—Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you to high voltage •
and other dangerous conditions. Request a qualifi ed person to perform servicing.
The LCD panel is a very high technology product, giving you fi ne picture details.
Due to the very large number of pixels, occasionally a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a
fi xed point of blue, green or red. This is within product specifi cations and does not constitute a fault.

The Standby Off/On button doesn´t separate this
device completely from mains. Moreover the device
consumes power in the standby operation. In order to
separate the device completely from mains, the mains
plug has to be pulled from the mains socket. Because
of that the device should be set up in a way, that an
unobstructed access to mains socket is guaranteed,
so that in case of emergency the mains plug can be
pulled immediately. To exclude the danger of fi re, the
power cord should principally be separated from the
mains socket prior to a longer period of non-usage,
i.e. during vacations.

device of at least 1GB should be used, If the
connected USB device is not USB 2.0 an error
message will be displayed.
Recorded programmes are saved into the connected •
USB disk in .TS format (MPEG-2 transport stream).
If desirable, you can back up / copy these saved
recordings into a personal computer.
Note: It is possible that recorded broadcasts in
.TS format may not be supported by your media
playback software. In such a case, you should install
an appropriate media playback software to your
computer.
An hour of the recordings stored occupies •
approximately 2 GB of space.
For more information on recording programmes, •
see sections “Instant Recording”, “Timeshifting”,
“Electronic Programme Guide”, “Recordings Library”
or “Recording Timers” in the following parts.
Recorded programmes are split into 1GB partitions. •

Recorded programmes are stored in the following •
directory of the connected USB disk: \DVR\RECS.
All recordings are indicated with a number (such
as 4801-000.ts). A text (txt) fi le is created for each
recording. This text fi le includes information such as
broadcaster, programme, and recording time.
If the writing speed of the connected USB disk is not •
suffi cient, recording may fail and timeshifting feaute
may not be available.
Recordings of HD programmes can occupy bigger •
size on the USB disk depending on the broadcast’s
resolution. For this reason it is recommended
to use USB hard disk drives for recording HD
programmes.
teletext is automatically turned off. Also teletext
usage is disabled when there is ongoing recording
or playback.
If the recording time of an event is longer than the
memory capacity, the following message will appear
