The mains lead on this equipment is
supplied with a moulded plug incorporating
a fuse, the value of which is indicated on the
pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need to
be replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved
BS1362 fuse must be used of the same
rating.
If the fuse cover is detachable, never use the
plug with the cover omitted.
If a replacement fuse cover is required,
ensure it is of the same colour as that visible
on the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers are
available from your dealer.
DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this
equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable
for the power points in your home or the
cable is too short to reach a power point,
then obtain an appropriate safety approved
extension lead or consult your dealer.
If there is no alternative to cut off the mains
plug, ensure that you dispose it immediately,
having first removed the fuse, to avoid a
possible shock hazard by inadvertent
connection to the mains supply.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Blue = Neutral, Brown = Live
As these colours may not correspond with
the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire coloured BLUE must be connected
to the terminal marked with the letter N or
coloured BLUE or BLACK. The wire coloured
BROWN must be connected to the terminal
marked with the letter L or coloured BROWN
or RED.
On no account connect either of these wires
to the terminal marked E or by the earth
symbol
or coloured green or green and
yellow.
Cautions:
When the VCR is moved from a cold to a warm
place,
dew
condensation can occur on the
cylinder.
To avoid damaging the cylinder or tape
do not
operate
the set immediately. Allow it to dry by
leaving it powered on
for 2 ~ 3 hours.
