To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows: 1 Remove fuse cover and fuse. 2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type. 3 Refit the fuse cover. 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 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp. Note: The severed plug must be disposed off to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere. How to connect a plug The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L). As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: ­ Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black. ­ Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red. ­ Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and yellow). Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

Safety Information CAUTION! High voltage! Do not open the device. You run the risk of getting an electric shock. The machine does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Please leave all maintenance work to qualified personnel. English Cleaning discs Some problems occur (frozen picture, sound disruptions, picture distortions) because the disc in the apparatus is dirty. To avoid these problems, discs should be cleaned on a regular basis. To clean a disc, use a micro fibre cleaning cloth and wipe the disc from centre to the edge in straight line movement. Setup precautions Finding a suitable location ­ Place the set on a flat, hard and stable surface. Do not place the set on a carpet. ­ Do not place the set on top of other equipment that might heat it up (e.g., receiver or amplifier). ­ Do not put anything above or under the set (e.g., CDs, magazines). ­ Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the AC power plug can be reached easily. Space for ventilation ­ Keep space allowances of 20 cm around ventilation openings of the apparatus. Do not place the device on an unsteady base. ­ The mains plug shall remain readily operable. 5cm (2") 10cm (4") 10cm (4") CAUTION! Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static sprays for discs. Since the optical unit (laser) of the recorder operates at a higher power than regular DVD or CD players, Cleaning CD intended for DVD or CD players may damage the optical unit (laser). Therefore, refrain from using a Cleaning CD. About recycling These operating instructions have been printed on non-polluting paper. This electronic equipment contains a large number of materials that can be recycled. If you are disposing an old equipment, please take it to a recycling centre.
