2 Important notes for users in U.K. Mains plug This apparatus is fi tted with an approved 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows: 1 Remove fuse cover and fuse. 2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type. 3 Refi t the fuse cover. If the fi tted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fi tted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp. Note: The severed plug must be disposed off to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere. How to connect a plug The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L). As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black. Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red. Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and yellow). Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

24 Recording This recorder can record TV programmes or copy content from an external device to a DVD recordable disc or VHS tape. The storage capacity of the disc and tape are dependable on the recording mode selected. This recorder also incorporates timer recording function which allows a scheduled recording to be made. Recording media The recording media for this recorder are DVD±R/±RW/+R DL and VHS tape. DVD±RW (DVD Rewritable) Discs that are rewritable can be used for multiple recordings once the existing data is erased. DVD+R DL (DVD+R Double Layer) It contains the same usage as DVD+R, the only difference is the capacity of 8.5 GB. It offers two recordable layers on a single DVD disc. The layers are accessible from the same side of the disc, so recording can occur completely uninterrupted. Supported disc type and media speeds Disc Media speeds DVD+R 1x - 16x DVD+RW 2.4x - 8x DVD-R 1x - 16x DVD-RW 2.4x - 6x DVD+R DL 2.4x Helpful Hints: It is normal to encounter noise when recording to discs of higher media speeds. Avoid using discs with labels. DVD±R (DVD Recordable) Discs can only be used for a single recording. Each new recording is always added at the end of all previous recordings as existing recordings cannot be overwritten. Editing can be done on DVD±R discs as long as they have not been fi nalised. To playback a DVD±R on other DVD player, it must be fi nalised (see the chapter Editing/ Finalising Recording Playing your recordings (DVD±R) on other DVD players ). After this is done, no more data can be added to the disc. VHS Tape VHS tapes have record safety tabs to ensure that recordings will not be accidentally erased. To prevent recording, break off the tab. To allow recording, cover the hole of the tab with clear tape. Without the record safety tab, the VHS tape will start playback once your insert the VHS tape into the tape slot. The VCR automatically marks the tape with an index signal at the point where each recording begins. Record Safety Tab 24 DVDR3510V_eng_26244.indd :46:17 PM
