convenience.
Should the fuse in the plug supplied need to be replaced, a 5 AMP fuse approved by ASTA or
BSI to BS 1362 (i.e. marked with 2 or @) must be used.
When an alternative type of plug is used it should be fitted with a 5 AMP FUSE, otherwise the
circuit should be protected by a 5 AMP FUSE at the distribution board.
If the plug supplied with this equipment has a detachable fuse cover, be sure to attach the fuse
cover after you change the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover. If you should lose
the fuse cover, please contact your nearest Sony service centre.
How to replace the fuse
Open the fuse compartment with a blade screwdriver, and replace the fuse.
