5A. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution
board should not be greater than 5A.
a Insert the aerial plug into the 2 socket.
DNote: * The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a
possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A
socket elsewhere.
b Insert the plug of the mains cable into the wall socket.

please switch on the set. The power switch 8 is
located on the left side panel of the set.

Important notes for operation
E We suggest that, from now on, you switch off your
TV-VIDEO Combi with the STANDBY m button on the front
of the set or on the remote control.
When the set is in the standby mode, a small red lamp at
the front of the set will be alight.
E You can switch on with the qP r or z button, the
0-9 buttons or by inserting a cassette.
AAttention: If you use the power switch 8 on the side

normally. The power consumption will be low.
E Attention: If you switch off the appliance with the power
switch 8 , make sure that you have removed the tape
by pressing the ? button.
E If you diconnect your TV-VIDEO Combi from the mains,
