1. 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.

Preparing the remote control for operation

The remote control and its

batteries are packed sepa- rately in the original video

recorder packaging. You must install the batteries in the remote control before use.

1.Take the remote control and the enclosed batteries (2 batteries).

2.Open the remote control's battery compartment and place the batteries in it as shown in the picture and close the battery compartment.

The remote control is now ready to use. Its range is approximately 5 metres.

Connecting your video recorder to the TV set

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.

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
