Important for the United Kingdom Connecting the cables

This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1

Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2

Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A, A.S.T.A. 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

5A. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5A.

1

Insert the aerial plug into the

2 socket.

Note: * The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug:

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

BLUE - ’NEUTRAL’ (’N’)

BROWN - ’LIVE’ (’L’)

If you use the auxiliary aerial supplied, push the aerial into the mounting on the back panel until it snaps into place.

Pull out the telescopic rod(s) as far as required. Tilt and rotate the aerial until you have got the best picture quality.

2

Insert the plug of the mains cable into the wall socket.

3

Switch the set on. The power switch the left side panel of the set.

m is located on

1

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

2

The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter ’L’ or coloured RED.

3

Do not connect either wires to the earth terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter ’E’ or by the safety earth symbol

\ or coloured green or green-andyellow.

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

Important notes for operation

• We advise you, from now on, to switch the set to standby using the

STANDBY m button on the front of the set or on the remote control.

• When the set is in the standby mode, a small red lamp on the left of the front of the set will be alight.

• You can switch on with the

STOP h button, the

0-9 buttons or by inserting a cassette.

• Attention: When you use the power switch m on the side panel, you have completely switched off the set from the mains power supply. No programmed recordings will then be made. The red lamp on the left of the front of the set will not be alight. After a few hours, the date and clock settings will be lost.

• Attention: Before you switch off the appliance with the power switch m

, remove the tape by pressing the

J button.
