ESSENTIAL INFORMATION FOR UK USERS
The power cord on your subwoofer may be supplied with a plug
incorporating a fuse, the value of which is indicated on the pin face of the
plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved
BS1362 fuse must be used of the same rating. If the plug is cut off it must
NOT be re-used. Dispose of any such plug safely. There is a danger of
electric shock if a cut-off plug is inserted into a mains socket.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following
code: Green and Yellow - Earth: Blue - Neutral: Brown - Live.
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the
markings identifying the terminals in the replacement mains plug,
proceed as follows:
The wire coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal marked with
the letter ‘N’ or coloured Black. The wire
coloured Brown must be connected to
the terminal marked with the letter ‘L’ or
coloured Red. The wire coloured Green
and Yellow must be connected to the
