Mains Cord

This appliance may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If it is necessary to change the fuse in a non-rewireable plug the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a replacement available from the appliance manufacturer is obtained. It is important that the colour of the replacement fuse cover corresponds with the rating marking on the base of the plug. If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or becomes damaged, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted following the wiring instructions below. The plug removed must be disposed of safely as insertion into a 13A socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard. For your own safety read the following instructions carefully before attempting to connect this unit to mains. The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: BLUE=NEUTRAL, BROWN=LIVE

Important

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured 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 black. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red. No connection is to be made to the earth terminal of the plug. If a 13 Amp (BS 1363) Plug is used, a 3 Amp Fuse must be fitted, or if any other type of Plug is used a 3 or 5 Amp Fuse must be fitted, either in the Plug or Adaptor, or on the Distribution Board. Mains Supply: 220 - 240 V ~ 50 Hz - AC only Do not make any connection to the larger pin marked with the letter E or by the symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.

Caution Do not mix old and new batteries. (Also never mix alkaline batteries with manganese batteries.) Video Cassette Tape This VCR will operate with any cassette that bears the VHS mark. For best results, we recommend the use of high-quality tapes. Do not use poor quality or damaged tapes. You can prevent accidental erasing of a recording by breaking off the erase-prevention tab on the back edge of the cassette. If you decide to record on the tape again, cover the hole with plastic tape.
TV Colour System Different countries use different television colour systems. Tapes recorded in the PAL or NTSC system can be played back on this unit. Usually, the picture on the TV screen will be in black and white when you play back a tape that is recorded in a different colour system. Tapes recorded in the NTSC system can be played back on this unit and a PAL system TV set. This feature is only available in the SP mode. When playing back such tapes, the picture may roll up or down, shrink vertically and black bars may appear both at the top and bottom of the screen. Adjust the vertical hold control on your TV, if the TV features this control.

PDC (Programme Delivery Control)
Operation for 31B-254/31B-454 only
The Programme Delivery Control (PDC) is a very convenient system which assures that the TV programmes you have programmed for Timer Recording, will be recorded exactly from beginning to end, even if the actual broadcasting time differs from the scheduled time due to delayed start or extension of the programme duration. Also, if a programme is interrupted and, for example, some special news is broadcast, the recording will also be interrupted automatically and resumed when the programme continues. When the PDC signal drop out because the broadcast signal is weak, or when a broadcasting station does not transmit a regular PDC signal, the Timer Recording will be performed in the normal mode (without PDC) even if it was programmed for PDC. When the starting time of the PDC Timer Recording is from 0:00 to 3:59 on a given day, the PDC function operates from 20:00 on the previous day to 4:00 on the following day. When the starting time of the PDC Timer Recording is from 4:00 to 23:59 on the given day, the PDC function operates from 0:00 on the day to 4:00 on the following day. This means that if the relevant programme is broadcasted within this period, it will be recorded correctly. If
