a Remove fuse cover and fuse. b Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A, A.S.T.A. or

BSI approved type.

c 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 5A. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5A. D Note: * The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere. How to connect a plug: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: BLUE - NEUTRAL (N) BROWN - LIVE (L)

d The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which

PROGRAMMED RECORDING (TIMER)
Programming a recording (with VIDEOplus)
All the information required for a programming is contained in the PlusCode-programming number.
Use programmed recording to automatically start and stop a recording at a later date. To make a programmed recording, your TV-VIDEO Combi needs to know: * the date you want to make the recording; * the programme number for the TV channel you want to record; * the start and stop time of the recording; * whether you want to use VPS or PDC; * the recording speed (SP/LP). The TV-VIDEO Combi stores all the information in a TIMER block. You can programme up to 6 TIMER blocks a month in advance.

c Enter the entire PlusCode-programming number (up to 9
VPS (Video Programming System) and PDC (Programme Delivery Control)
With VPS and PDC, the TV station controls the start time and the length of the recording. This means that the TV-VIDEO Combi switches itself on and off at the right time even if a TV programme you want to record begins earlier or finishes later than expected. Usually the start time is the same as the VPS or PDC time. But if your TV guide gives a VPS or PDC time which is different to the programmes start time (for example, 20.15 and VPS 20.14), you must enter 20.14 as the start time. If you want to programme a time that is different from the VPS or PDC time, you must switch off VPS or PDC.
