This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 10 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug pro- ceed as follows:
1.Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2.Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 3A,ASTA or BSI approved type.
3.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 3A.
The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possi- ble shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.

Connecting your video recorder to the TV set
The necessary cable connections must be made before you can record or play-
back TV programmes using your video recorder.
We recommend that you use a scart cable to connect your TV and video recorder.
What is a scart cable?
The scart or Euro AV cable serves as the universal connector for picture, sound and control signals. With this type of connection, there is practically no loss of quality during the picture or sound transfer.
