Safety Precautions
Warning: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this equipment to rain or moisture. FCC Warning: Any unauthorized changes or modifica­tions to this equipment void the user’s authority to oper­ate it.
This TV/VCR, equipped with a HQ (High Quality) system, is com­patible with existing VHS (video home system) equipment.
Philips Consumer Electronics Company recommends that you use only video cassette tapes that have been tested and inspected for use in two, four, six, and eight hour VCRs, and which are labeled with the mark. The use of tapes that have not been inspected for use in two, four, six, and eight hour VCRs may result in poor picture quality and excessive deposits on the video heads, which may not be covered by the warranty if damage occurs.
Note to the Cable TV System Installer: This reminder is provided to call the Cable TV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code, which provides guidelines for proper grounding – in particular, specifying that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as possible.

There are three ways to set the clock: Manually, with Automatic PBS Channel Selection, or with Manual PBS Channel Selection. With manual clock setting, you tell the TV/VCR the current time. The TV/VCR then adjusts the time accordingly. With Automatic or Manual PBS Channel Selection, the TV/VCR gets the current time from your local PBS station. It updates the time by referring to your PBS station broadcasts. If you use either Manual PBS Channel Selection or Automatic PBS Channel Selection, fol­low the steps on page 19 to have the TV/VCR update the clock according to your Time Zone. To set the clock manually, follow the steps on pages 12 -13. To set the clock using Automatic PBS Channel Selection, follow the steps on pages 14 - 15. To set the clock using Manual PBS Channel Selection, follow the steps on pages 16 - 17. Before you begin, make sure:
● The TV/VCR is hooked up and turned on. Details are on pages
six - eight.
● Channels are programmed. Details are on pages 10 - 11.
● You make each entry within 60 seconds of the previous entry.
(If you do not, you may start again at step 1.)

36 Setting Up the VCR Plus+ Programming System
1
First, fill in the boxes on this page. It will only take a few minutes, and you must do it if you want the VCR Plus+ programming system to work properly. Since the channel numbers of the stations you receive may not be the same as the station numbers, and since channel numbers differ from area to area, you must program the TV/VCR with your local channel information. To fill in the boxes, you will need 1) a cable channel line-up list, if applicable (you can request one from your cable company), and 2) a chart that lists VCR Plus+ channel numbers, which you can find in your TV guide or the TV listings of your local newspaper.

Now, compare the channel numbers you have written in the VCR PLUS+ CH. and CABLE/TV CH. columns. You’ll notice that some stations have VCR Plus+ and Cable/TV channel numbers that are the same, and other stations have channel numbers that do not match. Where the channel numbers DO NOT match, you must tell the TV/VCR the VCR Plus+ and Cable/TV channel numbers according to the following steps.
● Make each entry within 60 seconds of the previous entry.
6
Look at the lists you filled in on page 36. For stations whose VCR Plus+ and Cable/TV channels do not match, press the CHANNEL (Up/Down) buttons until the arrow is beside the VCR Plus+ channel you need. Then, press the Number buttons to enter the corresponding Cable/TV channel from your list. (Enter a “0” before single-digit chan-
nels.) Continue this process until you have entered all the stations on your list.

Press the STATUS/EXIT button to exit.
• To correct a Cable/TV channel num-
ber, repeat the steps on this page.
• To clear a Cable/TV channel number,
repeat steps 3-5 on this page. Then, press the CHANNEL (Up/Down) but­tons to select it. Then press the CLEAR button. Press the STATUS/EXIT button to exit.

Follow the steps below to program a timer recording using the PlusCode programming numbers in your TV guide. Before you begin, make sure:
● The clock has been set. If not, CLOCK MUST BE SET appears.
● Channels are programmed.
● There is a tape in the TV/VCR (make sure the tape’s record tab
is intact and the tape is long enough to record the program).

Press the VCR PLUS+ button on the remote control. The on-
screen display shown below will appear.

Follow the steps below to select closed captioning. Not all TV programs and commercials are broadcast with closed captioning. Similarly, all types of closed captioning (second lan­guage, full-screen text, etc.) are not always broadcast. If closed captioning is not broadcast, you cannot receive it.

Automatic Rewind, Eject, Off
When a tape is played, fast forwarded, or recorded to its end, the TV/VCR will rewind the tape, stop, turn itself off, then eject the tape.

Tape Eject
A tape can be ejected with the TV/VCR power on or off (but the TV/VCR must be plugged in). If a timer recording is programmed, a tape can not be ejected when the power is off. Turn on the TV/VCR power, then eject the tape. Be sure to insert a tape and turn off the TV/VCR power for the timer recording.
