Safety instructions and other notes

ADanger: High voltage! Do not open!

There is a risk of an electrical shock!

AThe machine does not contain any components that can be

repaired by the customer. When the TV-Video Combi is connected to the power supply there are some components that are constantly operational. To switch off the TV-Video Combi completely you must switch it off with the power switch.

BMake sure that air can circulate freely through the ventilation

slots on the machine. We recommend to leave approx. 5 cm of space all around your machine to ensure proper ventilation.

BMake sure that no objects or liquids enter the machine. If liquid

is spilt into it, immediately disconnect the machine from the power supply and call the After-sales Service for advice.

BThe machine should not be brought into a warm room directly

following a transport from a cold room or vice versa. Also, do not use machine in extremely high humidity conditions. After unpacking the TV-Video Combi, it should be allowed to acclimatise for at least three hours before installation.

C These operating instructions have been printed on non-polluting

paper.

This product complies with the requirements of the Directive 73/23/EEC + 89/336/EEC + 93/68/EEC.

Interference

The Department of Trade and Industry operates a Radio Investigation Service to help TV licence holders improve reception of BBC and ITC programmes where these are being spoilt by interference. If your dealer cannot help, ask at a Main Post Office for the booklet ’How to Improve Television and Radio Reception’.

List of accessories

• Operating instructions

• Remote control and batteries

Emergency interrupt

The machine and the remote control have an ’emergency interrupt’. You can use the button STANDBY m to interrupt any function. If you want to interrupt a running recording, hold the

STANDBY m button for several seconds.

Every time you are having operating problems, you can just interrupt the function and start again. You can practise operating your set without any worries. No matter which buttons you press, you cannot damage the machine in any manner.

Special functions on your TV-Video Combi

Philips has developed a system which produces the best possible playback quality. The interferences are reduced in old, frequently used video cassettes. The details are enhanced with very good cassettes.

When you have plugged your TV-Video Combi into the mains, you will be welcomed with an OSD picture. All you have to do is follow the instructions in the "intelligent help line" for the next step. Enjoy the automatic channel search/store.

The tape speed for the recordings is cut in half, thus you can record 8 hours onto a 4-hour-cassette. For playback, the correct recording speed will automatically be selected.

With this set you can playback cassettes that have been recorded on another video recorder in the NTSC standard (for example, American cassettes). Switching between the different TV Systems takes place automatically.

The TV-Video Combi shuts itself off automatically after a certain pre-programmed time period has elapsed (max. 4 hours). Sleep timer settings can be programmed in steps of 15 minutes each.

1. CONNECT THE TV-VIDEO COMBI

Important for the United Kingdom

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.

DNote: * The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid

a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.

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’)

Placing the batteries in the remote control

a Open up the battery compartment of your remote control

and place the batteries in it as shown in the picture.

b Close the battery compartment.

d The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which

is marked with the letter ’N’ or coloured BLACK.

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.

Connecting the cables

a Insert the aerial plug into the 2 socket.

b Insert the plug of the mains cable into the wall socket.

c If the little red standby light (STANDBY 5) at the front panel

of the set is not lit, please switch on the set using the main power switch. The power switch 8 is located on the left side panel of the set. This text will appear on the TV screen.

Connecting a decoder or other equipment

You can also connect additional equipment to the EXT socket; for instance, a decoder, satellite receiver or camcorder.

DThe respective scart socket is usually marked ’AV’

or ’VCR’ on the decoder or satellite receiver.
