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.

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 elsewhere.

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accor-
dance with the following code:
BLUE- 'NEUTRAL' ('N')
BROWN- 'LIVE' ('L')

Connecting your video recorder to
the TV set
The necessary cable connections must be made
before you can record or play-
back 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, sup-
plied), a scart cable (2, not
supplied).
1.Remove the aerial

set. Insert it into the
AERIAL at the back of
the video recorder.
2.Insert one end of the
2.
supplied aerial cable
into the RF OUT at the
back of the video
recorder and the other
end into the aerial input
socket at the back of
the TV set.
3.Plug one end of a scart
3.
cable into the scart
socket 'TV' at the back
of the video recorder
and the other end into
the suitable scart sock-
et on your TV reserved
