- Do not use the unit under the following conditions:

– in locations with high humidity
- in presence of excessive dirt or dust
– in areas subject to strong vibrations
- near strong magnetic fields (e.g. transmitting antennas, motors, fluorescent lights, etc.)

• Do not stack anything on top of your VCR, or block the air vents, to prevent damaging or overheating.
• 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 enter the unit.

Aerial/RF connection

Set one of the channels on the TV as a video channel specifically for the signals from the VCR. See "Setting the TV to the video channel" on page 6.

AV connection

If your TV has an AV terminal, the following AV connections are also possible.

• The advantage of this connection is a higher quality of picture and sound during playback.
• When the PLAY button is pressed, the TV is automatically switched to the AV mode.

Mains lead connections

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

The wires in the mains lead are coloured according to the following code:

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.

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.

After all the connections are completed, please follow steps SETUP1 to SETUP3 before using the VCR.

If the VCR has been connected to the TV using the "AV connection", simply set the TV to the AV mode. Go to "SETUP2".
