1. CONNECTING YOUR TV-VIDEO COMBI
Important for the United Kingdom
Connecting the cables
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp
plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
a Remove fuse cover and fuse.
b Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A, A.S.T.A. or
BSI approved type.
c 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.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of
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.
c If the little red light at the front panel of the set is not lit,
please switch on the set. The power switch 8 is
located on the left side panel of the set.
How to connect a plug:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code:
BLUE - ’NEUTRAL’ (’N’)
BROWN - ’LIVE’ (’L’)
Connecting a decoder or other equipment
d The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which
is marked with the letter ’N’ or coloured BLACK.
You can also connect additional equipment to the EXT. 1
socket. For instance, a satellite receiver, decoder or
camcorder.
e The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter ’L’ or coloured RED.
f Do not connect either wires to the earth terminal in the
plug which is marked with the letter ’E’ or by the safety
earth symbol \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 imply over the
two wires.

7. PROGRAMMED RECORDING (TIMER)
Use programmed recording to automatically start and stop a
recording at a later date.
Programming a recording
(with ’VIDEO Plus+’)
To make a programmed recording, your TV-VIDEO Combi
needs to know:
All the information required for a programming is contained in
the PlusCode programming number.
* the date you want to make the recording;
* the programme number for the TV channel you want to
record;
* the start and stop time of the recording;
* whether you want to use VPS or PDC;
* the recording speed (SP/LP).
a Press the TIMER s button on the remote control.
b Select the line ’VIDEOPlus’ with the BP r or
AP q button and confirm with the SqC button.
The TV-VIDEO Combi stores all the information in a TIMER
block. You can programme up to 6 TIMER blocks a month in
advance.
c Enter the entire PlusCode programming number (up to 9
digits) printed in your TV guide next to the start time of a
TV programme.
’VPS’ (Video Programming System) and
’PDC’ (Programme Delivery Control)
For example, 5-234-89 or 5 234 89
Enter 523489 for the PlusCode programming number.
If you make a mistake, you can clear your instructions
with the CLEAR button.
With ’VPS and PDC’, the TV station controls the start time and
the length of the recording. This means that the TV-VIDEO
Combi switches itself on and off at the right time even if a TV
programme you want to record begins earlier or finishes later
than expected.
If you want to programme a time that is different from the VPS
or PDC time, you must switch off VPS or PDC.
