3. Connecting the video recorder
Important for the United Kingdom
Preparing the remote control for
operation
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 10
Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug pro-
ceed as follows:
The remote control and its batteries are packed
separately in the original video recorder packag-
ing. You must install the batteries in the remote
control before use.
1.Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2.Fix new fuse which should be a
BS1362 3A,ASTA or BSI approved type.
3.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.
1.Take the remote control and the enclosed
batteries (2 batteries).
2.Open the remote control's battery compart-
ment and place the batteries in it as shown in
the picture and close the battery compart-
ment.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a
value of 3A. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at
the distribution board should not be greater than 3A.
The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possi-
ble shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A
socket alsewhere.
The remote control is now ready to use. Its
range is approximately 5 metres.
How to connect a plug:
Connecting your video recorder to

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accor-
dance with the following code:
BLUE- 'NEUTRAL' ('N')

5.The BROWN wire must be connected to the termi-
nal which is marked with the letter 'L' or coloured

The necessary cable con-
nections must be made
before you can record or
playback TV programmes
using your video recorder.
We recommend that you use a scart cable to con-
nect your TV and video recorder.

General information
Lining up recordings (assemble cut)
When you add a further recording to a cassette,
which already has a recording on it, a short
blank (flicker) can appear between the old and
the new recording or the picture itself can flicker.
To help reduce these from occurring, proceed as
follows:
1.Find the tape position of the old recording
where you want to insert the new recording.
2.Look at the last minute of the old recording
(playback).
Use 'Manual Recording' to make a sponta-
neous recording (for example, a programme cur-
rently being shown).
If you want to start and stop a recording manual-
ly, read the section 'Recording without auto-
