Safety Precautions

Warning: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this
equipment to rain or moisture.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Warning: Any
unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment void the user’s
authority to operate it.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a partic­ular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:

1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Philips Consumer Electronics recommends you use only video cassette
tapes that have the mark. Other tapes may cause poor picture quality
and excessive deposits on the video heads that the warranty may not cover
if damage occurs.
This TV/VCR has a High Quality (HQ) system and is compatible with exist­ing Video Home System (VHS) equipment.
Note to the Cable TV System Installer: This reminder calls 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.

Before Using the TV/VCR 5

Putting Batteries in the Remote Control

1

Remove the battery compartment lid on the bottom of the

remote control by pressing in the tab, then pulling up the lid.

2

Place two AA batteries inside the battery compartment

with their +and –ends aligned as indicated.

3

Replace the battery compartment lid.

Using the Remote Control

● Point the remote control at the TV/VCR’s remote sensor, then

press the COMBI button when using the remote control to
operate the TV/VCR. Point the remote control at the Cable
Box/DBS, then press the CABLE/DBS button when using the
remote control to operate the Cable Box/DBS.

● Do not put objects between the remote control and the TV/VCR.

TV/VCR Maintenance

● In this TV/VCR, use only tapes with the mark. The use of

other tapes may result in poor picture quality and excessive
deposits on the video heads, which may not be covered by the
warranty if damage occurs.

● Remove any light adhesive stick-on notes from the video cassette

tape before putting the tape in the TV/VCR. Removable labels can
jam the TV/VCR.

● The TV/VCR requires periodic maintenance to maintain its excel-

lent performance. This TV/VCR has an automatic head cleaning
system. However, the video heads will eventually require cleaning
or replacement. Only an authorized service center should perform
this service.

Video cassette tapes have record tabs to ensure you do not erase
recordings accidentally.

1

To prevent accidental erasure, break off the tab with a
screwdriver.

2

To record again, cover the hole with cellophane tape.

two. These numbers will help us
assist you if you ever call for help.

12 Setting the Clock

• Entries that do not match the
TV/VCR’s calendar will cause a
question mark (?) to appear on the
screen.

• To make corrections while you are
setting the clock, press the CLEAR
button until the space for the num­ber you want to correct is flashing.
Then enter the correct number.

Helpful Hints

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. With
Automatic or Manual PBS Channel Selection, the TV/VCR gets the
time from your local PBS station. If you use either Manual PBS
Channel Selection or Automatic PBS Channel Selection, follow the
steps on page 19 to have the TV/VCR maintain the clock according
to your Time Zone. The channel that supplies the time might broad­cast from a different time zone. So, select your Time Zone to ensure
the clock is correct.

Cable Box users must set the clock manually.

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:

● You have connected and turned on the TV/VCR. Details are on

pages six-eight.

● Channels are set. Details are on page 10.

● Tape playback is stopped. You can not use Automatic or Manual

PBS Channel Selection during tape playback.

● You make each entry within 60 seconds of the previous entry.

comes with your TV/VCR will work
most Cable Boxes and DBSs, it is
possible that the remote control will
not operate your Cable Box or DBS.

38 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.

NOTE: If you are using a Cable Box/DBS, the Cable/TV channel must be 03 or 04 (the Cable
Box/DBS output channel) for every VCR Plus+ channel.

2

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 38. For stations whose
VCR Plus+ and Cable/TV channels do not match, press
the PLAY/▲ button or the STOP/▼ button 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. Continue this process until

you have entered all the stations on your list.
Note: If you are using a Cable Box/DBS, the Cable/TV channel will
be 03 or 04 (the Cable Box/DBS output channel) for every VCR
Plus+ channel. You must set the Cable Box/DBS to the channel
you want to record; leave the Cable Box/DBS on for the timer
recording.

7

Press the STATUS/EXIT button.

• To correct a Cable/TV channel num­ber, repeat the steps on this page.

• To clear a Cable/TV channel num­ber, repeat steps 3-5 on this page.
Then, press the CH(annel) o/p
buttons to select it. Press the CLEAR
button, then press the
STATUS/EXIT button.

• To select line input for the Cable/TV
channel, press 0,0. A/V IN will

40 Timer Recording With the VCR Plus+ Programming System

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 is 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.

● You have completed the steps on pages 38-39.

Complete each step within 60 seconds of completing the
previous step. If you don’t, you may return to step 1.

2

Press the Number buttons to enter the PlusCode pro­gramming number of the program you wish to record (this
number is different for every program). Finally, press the VCR
PLUS+/ENTER button.

3

Press the PLAY/▲ button or the STOP/▼ button to select
a ONCE, DAILY, OR WEEKLY recording. Then, press the
F.FWD/B button.

● ONCE: The VCR will record a TV program once,

● DAILY: The VCR will record every day from Monday to Friday

– starting at the same time and recording for the same length of
time.

● WEEKLY: The VCR will record on the same day, at the same

time, and for the same length of time every week.

• You cannot set a timer recording if
DEFEAT RECORDING is ON. Details
are on page 33.

• If CODE ERROR flashes after you
enter the PlusCode programming
number and press the VCR
PLUS+/ENTER button, the number
you entered was incorrect (for exam­ple, too short). If this happens, enter
the correct number.

• CLASH may flash on the screen after
you complete step 2. This means
that the timer recording you just pro­grammed and another timer record­ing overlap, and thus the current
timer recording will not occur.

SmartLock enables parents to prevent their children from watch­ing inappropriate material on TV.
SmartLock reads the ratings for programming (except for news
and sports programs, unedited movies on premium cable channels,

Automatic Operation Features 57

The following playback features will always operate.

Automatic Playback

When you put a tape in the TV/VCR, the power will come on
automatically. If the tape’s record tab is missing, playback will
begin. If a timer recording is set, the power will not come on
automatically when you insert a tape with the record tab intact. If
a timer recording is set and the TV/VCR power is off, the
TV/VCR will eject the tape if the record tab is missing.

Automatic Rewind, Eject, Off

When you play, fast forward, or record a tape to its end, the
TV/VCR will rewind the tape, stop, turn itself off, and eject the
tape. If a real-time counter memory is set, the TV/VCR may only
rewind the tape to the point at which the real-time counter is set
to zero. The TV/VCR will not turn itself off or eject the tape.

Memory Rewind, Power Off

When you press the POWER button while the TV/VCR is rewind­ing a tape, REW → POWER OFF will appear on the screen. The
TV/VCR will turn itself off when the tape has finished rewinding.
If a real-time counter memory is set, the TV/VCR may only
rewind the tape to the point at which the counter was set to
zero, then turn itself off.

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.

Automatic Tracking Adjustment

The TV/VCR automatically adjusts the tracking to give you the
best possible picture quality. With some recordings, however,
you may get a better picture using the manual tracking controls
(see below).

Manual Tracking

To adjust the tracking manually, press the CHANNEL o/p but­tons on the TV/VCR or the TRACKING oo/ppbuttons on the
remote control during playback.
Tracking returns to Automatic Tracking Adjustment when you
insert a tape or press the STOP/p button.

62 Helpful Hints

Location

For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your TV/VCR, remember the following:

• Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from sources of intense heat.

• Avoid dusty or humid places.

• Avoid places with insufficient ventilation. Do not block the ventilation openings at the top and bottom of

the TV/VCR. Do not place the TV/VCR on a carpet, as this will block the ventilation openings.

• Avoid locations subject to strong vibrations.

• Do not place the TV/VCR near strong magnetic fields.

• Do not move the TV/VCR from a cold place to a hot place, or vice versa.

Electrical Shock and Fire Hazards

• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

• Do not pull the power cord when disconnecting the TV/VCR from the AC (alternating current) wall out-

let. Grasp it by the plug.

• If you spill water on the TV/VCR, unplug the power cord immediately and take the TV/VCR to an autho­rized service center.

• Do not put your fingers or objects into the TV/VCR cassette compartment.

• Do not place anything on top of the TV/VCR.

Dew Warning (Moisture Condensation)

• Moisture may condense inside the unit when you move it from a cold place to a warm place, after heating
a cold room, or when the humidity is high. There is no warning that moisture is in your TV/VCR. Playing
a tape in a TV/VCR in which moisture has accumulated could damage the tape and the TV/VCR. If you
suspect moisture inside the TV/VCR, keep the TV/VCR power on (but do not play a tape) for at least two
hours. This will allow the TV/VCR to dry.

TV/VCR will not perform a timer recording.

• Set the recording start and stop times correctly. Details are on pages 34-37. Midnight is 12 a.m. Noon is 12
p.m.

• Make sure the TV/VCR power is off.

• Set the clock. Details are on pages 12-17.

• Put a tape in the TV/VCR. The tape must have a record tab.

• With ShowGuard, you don’t have to worry about losing your timer recordings. If the power fails, timer

recordings will be restored when the clock is reset. (The clock will reset itself automatically if you are
using AUTO CLOCK. Details are on pages 14-17. If you are not using AUTO CLOCK, reset the clock
manually. Details are on pages 12-13.) The timer recording will not occur only if it was scheduled to take
place during the power failure.

• Make sure DEFEAT RECORDING is OFF. Details are on page 33.

TV/VCR will not record.

• Make sure the tape has a record tab. Details are on page five.
