3. Connecting the video recorder
Important for the United Kingdom
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 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.
Connecting your video recorder to the TV
The necessary cable connections must be made before you can record or playback 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.
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
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the
