The digital picture and sound data are transmitted without data compression and therefore lose none of their quality. Analogue/digital conversion is no longer necessary in the connected devices, which also would result in quality losses.

SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K. The mains lead of this product is tted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 13A fuse. Should the or and of the same rating as above, fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used. Always ret the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover tted. In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut off the mains plug and t an appropriate type.

DANGER: The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed immediately and disposed of in a safe manner. Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet, as a serious electric shock may occur. To t an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below: IMPORTANT: The wires in the 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 product 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 plug terminal which is marked N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red. Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin plug. Before replacing the plug cover make sure that: If the new tted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug. The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead, and not simply over the lead wires. IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
