Important notes for users in the
U.K.
Mains plug
This apparatus is fi tted with an approved 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
5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3
Refi t the fuse cover.
If the fi tted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fi tted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.
Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).
As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
– Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black.
– Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red.
– Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) 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 simply over the two wires.

AUDIO OUT sockets: Sockets on the back of this unit that send audio to another system (TV, Stereo, etc.).
Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold a given length of music; measured in kilobits per second, or kbps. Or, the speed at which you record. Generally, the higher the bit rate, or the higher the recording speed, the better the sound quality. However, higher bit rates use more space on a disc.

DivX: The DivX code is a patent-pending,
MPEG-4 based video compression technology, developed by DivX Networks,
