Thank you for buying a Philips TV-Video combi.
This TV-Video combi is one of the most sophisti­cated and easy-to-use TV-Video combi on the
market. Please take the time to read this operat­ing manual before using your TV-Video combi. It
contains important information and notes regard­ing operation. The TV-Video combi should not

be turned on immediately after transportation

from a cold to a hot area or vice versa, or in con­ditions of extreme humidity. Wait at least three
hours after transporting the device. The TV­Video combi needs this time in order to become
acclimatised to its new environment (tempera­ture, air humidity, etc.).

This TV-Video combi is used for the recording
and playback of VHS videocassettes. Cassettes
with the VHS-C label (VHS cassettes for cam­corders) may only be used with a suitable
adapter.

We hope you enjoy your new TV-Video combi.

Important notes regarding operation

components that can be repaired by the
customer. Please leave all maintenance
work for qualified personnel.

As soon as the TV-Video combi is connect­ed to the power supply, some components
are in constant operation. To-switch off the
TV-Video combi completely you must dis­connect it from the mains or switch it off
with the main switch.

Make sure that air can circulate freely
through the ventilation slots on the TV-Video
combi. Do not place the device on an
unsteady base.

Make sure that no objects or liquids enter
the TV-Video combi. Do not place vases or
the like on the TV-Video combi. If liquid is
spilt into it, immediately disconnect the TV­Video combi from the power supply and call
After-sales Service for advice.

Do not place any combustible objects on
the device (candles, etc.).

Make sure that children do not place any
foreign objects within the openings or venti­lation slots.

These operating instructions have been
printed on non-polluting paper.

Please make use of the facilities available in
your country for disposing of the packaging
of the TV-Video combi in a way that helps to
protect the environment.

5. Playback

Do I need to change the playback speed
when playing back LP recordings?

During playback, the correct speed will auto­matically be selected. For more information,
please read the section 'Selecting the recording
speed (SP or LP)' in the chapter 'Manual
recording'.

DIGITAL STUDIO PICTURE CONTROL

Philips has developed a system which produces
the best possible playback quality. For old and
often-used video cassettes, this system reduces
interference. For new or high quality cassettes,
it emphasises the details.

Picture/ sound quality is poor

When playing rental videos or older, poorer
quality cassettes, it may not be possible to com­pletely filter out picture and sound interference.
This is not a fault in your machine. Read the
section 'Manual tracking'.

How can I set the counter to '0:00:00'?

You can set the counter to '0:00:00' with

.
When you put a cassette in the TV-Video
Combi, the counter will automatically reset to
'0:00:00'.

CLEAR

The counter does not move

This occurs when there are no recordings on a
portion of a tape. This is not a fault in your TV­Video Combi.

The screen shows '-0:01:20'

If you rewind a cassette from the tape position
'0:00:00', the counter will show for instance,
'-0:01:20' (the cassette was rewound to 1
minute and 20 seconds before '0:00:00').

'-:--' is displayed in the 'REM' counter

This counter will automatically recognise the
length of the tape. In addition, when you put in
a cassette the TV-Video Combi must first calcu­late the time played. Therefore, '-:--' appears
first and only after the tape has been running
for a few seconds, the correct playing time will
be shown.

Searching for a tape position with
picture (scanning)

1.

1.While a cassette is playing, press

(reverse) or (forward) one or more
times.

2.

2.Press to resume playback.

Still picture

1.

1.During playback, press to stop the

tape and display a still picture.

2.

2.To continue playback, press .

Scanning and still motion interferes with the pic­ture quality. The sound is switched off. This is not
a fault in your TV-Video Combi.

Searching for tape position without
picture (forward wind and rewind)

1.

1.Stop the tape with .

2.

2.Press (reverse) or (forward).

3.

3.To stop the tape, press .

Automatic search for a tape position
(index search)

Every time a tape is recorded an index marking
is written on the tape.
These marked positions can be found again
quickly and easily later.

1.

1.To search for the previous marking, press

and then .

2.

2.For the next marking, press and then

.

3.

3.As soon as the TV-Video Combi finds this

marking, it automatically switches to play­back.

General information

Use 'Manual Recording' to make a sponta­neous recording (for example, a programme cur­rently being shown).

If you want to start and stop a recording manual­ly, read the section 'Recording without auto-
matic switch-off'.

If you want to start a recording manually but
have it stopped automatically, read the section
'Recording with automatic switch-off'.(e.g.
not to record to the end of the tape)

Read the section 'Automatic recording from a
satellite receiver', if you want a recording to be
controlled automatically by a satellite receiver.

Recording without automatic

Preventing accidental erasing of
cassettes

All cassettes (except for rental and pre-recorded
purchased cassettes) have a security tab on the
back of the cassette.
To prevent recording
over important record­ings (erasing), you can
remove this security tab.
If you later decide to
record on a protected
cassette, simply cover the hole with adhesive
tape.

Lining up recordings (assemble cut)

When you add a further recording to a cassette,
which already has a recording on it, a short
blank (flicker) can appear between the old and
the new recording or the picture itself can flicker.
To help reduce these from occurring, proceed as
follows:

1.

1.Find the tape position of the old recording

where you want to insert the new recording.

2.

2.Look at the last minute of the old recording

(playback).

3.

3.Press at the tape position where

the new recording is to go and press

.

4.

4.Now start recording as usual by pressing

on the remote control.

General information

Use a TIMER programming to automatically start
and stop a recording at a later time or date. The

TV-Video Combi will switch to the right pro-

gramme number and begin recording at the cor­rect time. With this TV-Video Combi, you can pre­programme up to eight recordings within a peri­od of one year. To make a programmed record­ing, your TV-Video Combi needs to know:
*the date you want to make the recording
*the programme number of the TV channel
*the start and stop time of the recording
*VPS or PDC on or off
This information is saved in a TIMER block.

Programming a recording with
'VIDEO Plus+system®'

Thanks to this simplifed programming system,
you no longer need to tediously enter the date,
programme number, start and end time. All the
information needed for programming is con­tained in the PlusCode number.You can find this
PlusCode number in most TV listing magazines
written next to the concerned programme.

1.

1.Press on the remote control.

2.

2.Enter the entire PlusCode number. This num-

ber is up to 9 digits long and can be found
next to the start time of the TV programme in
your TV listing magazine. [e.g. 1-234-5 or 1
234 5]

3.

3.Enter the entire PlusCode number. This is up

7. Programming a recording (TIMER)

What is 'VPS/PDC'?

'VPS' (Video Programming System)/ 'PDC'
(Programme Delivery Control) are used to con­trol the start and duration of TV channel record­ings. If a TV programme starts earlier or ends
later than scheduled, the TV-Video Combi will
turn on and off at the correct time.

What do I need to know about 'VPS/PDC'?

Usually the VPS or PDC time is the same as
the start time. But if your TV guide shows a
VPS or PDC time which is different from the
programme’s scheduled start time, e.g. 20.10
(VPS/PDC 20.14), you must enter the VPS/PDC
time exact to the minute. If you want a start time
different from the VPS/PDC time, you must
switch VPS/PDC off.
