IMPORTANT

If the plug supplied with this appliance is not suitable for the socket outlets in your home, it should be cut off and the correct type fitted.

Disposal of plug

If the non-rewireable plug is to be cut off, the removed plug should be disposed of carefully as there is a shock hazard should the plug be inserted into a live socket.

Replacing the fuse

The detachable fuse cover must be replaced after changing the fuse.

Only a 3A fuse should be used, it should comply with BS1362, and should carry the ASTA mark.

Mains lead connections

Blue: Neutral Brown: Live

If the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus do not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured blue or black.
• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured brown or red.
• Do not connect either wire to the Earth terminal.

Operating precautions

☐ The unauthorized recording of television programmes, video tapes, films and other such material may infringe upon copyright or the rights of third parties.
☐ Be sure to use this VCR only in a temperature range of 5^ C to 40^ C and at less than 85% humidity.
☐ Do not place anything, except VHS video cassette tapes, in the unit.
☐ Do not allow rain, steam, dew, salt water, sand, oily smoke, metal objects, etc. to get into the unit.
☐ Place the VCR on a flat, stable, level surface. Never subject it to violent shaking or any other shock or impact.

Caution concerning condensation

Be careful of condensation

Condensation is the moisture that forms on the outside of a glass when you fill it with cold water. Condensation can also form inside a VCR when it is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm, humid one, or when a heater has been turned on to quickly heat the room.

Particular care must be taken with your VCR because water particles that form on the video head drum, which is the main VCR mechanism, can cause the video tape to stick to the drum. This prevents proper tape travel and may damage both tape and mechanism.

Follow the procedures below the first time you use the VCR, and whenever you use it in places which are subject to condensation:

① Connect the aerial cable and make all other necessary connections.
② Plug the mains lead into a wall socket.
3 Turn on the VCR power to warm it up and speed up the drying of any water particles that may have formed on the video head drum.
④ Do not insert a video cassette.

It takes about 1-1/2 to 2 hours to completely eliminate condensation. Wait at least this long before using the VCR.

After all connections have been made, insert the remote control batteries then follow steps 1 to 3 to preset the VCR.

Video channel setting

The following setting is only necessary when no AV connection to the TV was made.

When using the "RF connection" described in "CONNECTIONS", the signals from the VCR are converted to a radio frequency (RF) for viewing on an ordinary TV receiver.

The output channel of the VCR (video channel) is preset at the factory to be received by your TV receiver on UHF channel 36. On modern TVs this is normally 0, on older TVs 8.

① Turn on the VCR and the TV.
② Set your TV receiver to "VCR", "AV" or the position designed for AV equipment input. (For more details, please refer to your TV receiver instruction manual.)

About the AV equipment position on your TV receiver
