Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing your
new VCR.
You can't wait to get it working, but
before you do, spare a few moments to
read this brief introduction to the world
of video recording. It may repay you
handsomely in terms of improved
results, and avoiding of costly mis-
takes.
Important for the United
Kingdom.
This machine is fitted with an
approved moulded 13 Amp plug. To
change a fuse in this type of plug,
please follow these instructions.
1
Take off the fuse cover and
take out the fuse.
2
Put in a new fuse which
should be a BS1362 3A,
A.S.T.A or BSI approved
type.
3
Refit the fuse cover.
If the plug fitted is not suitable for
your socket, cut it off and fit
another type.
If the plug you fit contains a fuse, it
should be a 3Amp fuse. If you fit a
plug which does not need a fuse,
make sure the fuse on your fuse box
is not greater than 5 Amps.
i
Note: Please destroy the plug
you have cut off so that it
cannot be used in a 13 Amp
socket somewhere else.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the lead from the
video recorder are coloured as
follows.
* Blue - 'neutral' ('N')
* Brown - 'live' ('L')
4
Connect the blue wire to the
terminal in the plug which is
marked with the letter 'N' or
coloured black.
5
Connect the brown wire to
the terminal in the plug
which is marked with the
letter 'L' or coloured red.
6
Do not connect either of the
wires to the terminal in the
plug which is marked with
the letter 'E', the symbol
coloured green or green and
yellow.
Before you refit the plug cover,
make sure that the grip at the
bottom of the plug is clamped over
the plastic cover of the lead, not just
over the two wires.
