Caution for AC Mains Lead (NV-HD680B)
For your safety please read the following text carefully This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for your safety and convenience. A 5 amp fuse is fitted in this plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 5 amps and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS 1362. Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse. If the plug contains a removable fuse cover you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced. If you lose the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local Panasonic Dealer.

How to replace the Fuse

There are two types of the AC Mains Lead assembly: A and B as shown below.
1 Open the fuse compartment with a screwdriver. 2 Replace the fuse and fuse cover.

TYPE A

IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME THEN THE FUSE SHOULD BE REMOVED AND THE PLUG CUT OFF AND DISPOSED OF SAFELY. THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS INSERTED INTO ANY 13 AMP SOCKET.
If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring code as shown below. If in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician.

TYPE B

IMPORTANT
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Blue: Neutral Brown: Live 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 in the plug which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK. The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED. Under no circumstance should either of these wires be connected to the earth terminal of the three pin plug, marked with the letter E or the Earth Symbol.

To Immediately Record the Same TV Programme That You Are Viewing on the TV (Direct TV Recording)
(For NV-FJ620 Series, NV-FJ621 Series and NV-FJ616 Series) This function allows you to immediately start recording the same programme that you are viewing on the TV. The programme position selected on the VCR automatically changes to that of the TV programme that you are viewing on the TV. Your TV must be equipped with the [Q Link] function. The VCR must be connected to the TV via a fully-wired 21-pin Scart cable.

DIRECT TV REC

Video movie camera Other VCR

Press the [INPUT SELECT] button to select the AV Input according to the socket on the VCR to which the source unit has been connected. (For NV-FJ620 Series, NV-FJ621 Series and NV-FJ616 Series) A1: When connected to the AV1 21-pin Scart socket A2: When connected to the AV2 21-pin Scart socket Make sure that [AV2] is set to [EXT]. (See page 18.) (For NV-SJ220 Series) AV: When connected to the AV1 21-pin Scart socket Make sure that [AV] is set to [TV/EXT]. (See page 18.) Press the [Play] button to start playback. At the point where you want to join a new scene, press the [Pause/Slow] button to put it in the still playback mode.

In some cases, it may not be possible to change the programme position on the TV during Direct TV Recording. Do not press the [AV LINK] button during Direct TV REC, otherwise the recording may not be performed correctly. Press the [Stop] button to stop recording.
Press the [REC] button to put it in the recording pause mode. If you leave the VCR in the recording pause mode for more than 5 minutes, the VCR automatically switches over to the stop mode to protect the video heads. Start playback on the source unit and search for the point from which you want to record (copy) onto this VCR. When that point is reached, press the [Pause/Slow] button again to start recording the new picture and sound from the playback unit. To record (copy) additional scenes, press the [Pause/ Slow] button to put this VCR in the recording pause mode and then perform above step again.

Set [AV2] to [DECODER]. For details, see page 18. AV Link Function (For NV-FJ620 Series, NV-FJ621 Series and NV-FJ616 Series) If the VCR is connected to the TV via a 21-pin Scart cable, you can use the [AV LINK] button to switch the TV from normal TV reception over to the video playback channel (AV input) (and vice versa). In the VCR mode (when the [VCR] indication in the VCR display is lit), the TV is switched to the video playback channel (AV input).
