Special functions on your TV-Video Combi

If a TV channel which transmits Teletext/PDC is stored under programme number ’P01’, time and date will automatically be taken from Teletext/PDC information.

This system ensures that your picture will be of the best possible quality. This is made possible by a combination of Philips’ very latest technologies: Natural Colour, Smart Picture, Digital Studio Picture Control and laser-cut video heads.

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.

This function allows you to save the playback settings that suit you best. Select your own personal settings for the type of film you are currently watching.

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.

Automatic Volume Leveller. This prevents a sudden increase of the volume, for example, during commercials.

Simple programming system for TV-Video Combis. Makes programming as easy as making a telephone call. Enter the respective programme number. You will find this number in your favourite listings magazine.

If you would like to be woken up by the TV, you can easily programme your TV-Video Combi. It will switch on at the desired time.

Your TV-Video Combi has been equipped with two tuners (receivers). This enables you to watch a programme on the screen while you are recording another programme.

The precision tape drive from Philips with short rewind times and automatic tape length recognition.

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

 

Placing the batteries in the remote control

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.

bFix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

aOpen up the battery compartment of your remote control and place the batteries in it as shown in the picture.

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. b Close the battery compartment. 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’)

dThe BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter ’N’ or coloured BLACK.

eThe BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter ’L’ or coloured RED.

fDo 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.
