Important for the United
Kingdom.
This machine is fitted with an
approved moulded 13 Amp plug. To
change a fuse in this type of plug,
please follow these instructions.
1
Take off the fuse cover and
take out the fuse.
2
Put in a new fuse which
should be a BS1362 3A,
A.S.T.A or BSI approved
type.
3
Refit the fuse cover.
If the plug fitted is not suitable for
your socket,cut it off and fit
another type.
If the plug you fit contains a fuse, it
should be a 3Amp fuse. If you fit a
plug which does not need a fuse,
make sure the fuse on your fuse box
is not greater than 5 Amps.
iNote: Please destroy the plug
you have cut off so that it
cannot be used in a 13Amp
socket somewhere else.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the lead from the
video recorder are coloured as
follows.
* Blue - 'neutral' ('N')
* Brown - 'live' ('L')
4
Connect the blue wire to the
terminal in the plug which is
marked with the letter 'N' or
coloured black.
5
Connect the brown wire to
the terminal in the plug
which is marked with the
letter 'L' or coloured red.
6
Do not connect either of the
wires to the terminal in the
plug which is marked with
the letter 'E', the symbol or
coloured green or green and
yellow.
Before you refit the plug cover,
make sure that the grip at the
bottom of the plug is clamped over
the plastic cover of the lead, not just
over the two wires.

Notes:
¶
Auto channel set function takes place first; it assigns automatically all receivable stations in your area.
¶
Auto clock set function sets the clock automatically by reading the clock setting data from a station transmitting a
PDC signal while auto channel set is being performed.
¶
During auto channel set, the VCR recognizes each station name of the detected stations and stores them in the VCR’s
memory, then automatically setsVIDEO Plus+ system's assigned Guide Program number for those stations according
to the broadcast area.
¶
In the area where no TV station transmits a PDC signal, the VCR can perform neither auto clock set nor auto Guide
Program number set.
¶
For RF connection users: The VCR detects the channels which are not occupied by local stations and selects one
channel automatically for your Video Channel that is located in the middle of more than 5 vacant channels.
¶
If there is a power cut, or if you press STANDBY/ON,VCR POWERor MENU while Auto Set Up is in progress, Auto
Set Up will be interrupted; be sure to turn off the VCR power once and try again from step 1.
¶
Auto clock may not function properly depending on the reception condition.

7
In certain reception conditions, station names may not be stored correctly, and auto Guide Programme Number Set
may not work properly. If the Guide Programme numbers are not set properly, when you timer-record a TV
programme using VIDEO Plus+ system, the VCR will record a TV programme of a different station. When
programming the timer using VIDEO Plus+ system, be sure to check whether the channel position on which your
VCR receives the broadcasting station you wish to record is selected. (✈P.29)

Your VCR memorizes all detected stations even if reception of some of them is poor. In these cases picture quality
may be poor. To delete those stations with an unacceptable picture, see page 16.

For RF connection users: In certain reception conditions, the Video Channel may not be set correctly and interference
may appear in the TV picture while the VCR’s power is on. Set your Video Channel manually. (✈P.14)

(only the Auto Channel Set has). Go to step 4 and then perform “Clock Setting” manually. (✈P.20)
¶
You can check if the Guide Programme numbers have been set correctly when you performVIDEO Plus+ Timer
Recording (✈P.29); if the correct channel position number is displayed onVIDEO Plus+ Programme screen,this
confirms that the Guide Programme number for the PlusCode number you enter has been set correctly.
4Press PROG. +/– to make sure that all necessary stations have been stored in the VCR’s memory.
¶
If station names (ID) (✈P.18) have also been stored in the VCR’s memory, the station name will be displayed at the
top left corner of the screen for about 5 seconds when the VCR is tuned to a different station.
¶
If you want to set the tuner manually such as to add or skip channels, to change channel positions, or to set station
names, see pages 16–17.
¶
If no station is stored in the VCR’s memory, make sure the TV antenna cable is connected correctly and turn off the
VCR power once, then turn it back on again. Re-perform from Preparation on page 11.
