3. Connecting the video recorder

Important for the United Kingdom

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 alsewhere.

How to connect a plug:

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accor- dance with the following code:

BLUE- 'NEUTRAL' ('N')

BROWN- 'LIVE' ('L')

4.The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter 'N' or coloured

BLACK.

5.The BROWN wire must be connected to the termi- nal which is marked with the letter 'L' or coloured RED.

6.Do not connect either wires to the earth terminai in the plug which is marked with the letter 'E' or by the safety earth symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow.

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead-not imply over the two wires.

Connecting your video recorder to the TV set

The necessary cable con- nections must be made

before you can record or playback TV programmes using your video recorder.

We recommend that you use a scart cable to con- nect 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.

Connecting with a scart cable

Have the following cables ready:

an aerial cable (1, supplied), a scart cable (2, not supplied). 1.Remove the aerial

cable plug from your
