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.

4. IMPORTANT NOTES FOR OPERATION
General information
□ We suggest that, from now on, you switch off your
TV-Video Combi with the button on the front of the
set or with the I standby 6l button on the remote control.
When the set is in the standby mode, a small red lamp
(standby®) at the front of the set will be alight.
□ You can switch the machine on with the I tp + I.
Up - I or buttons or by inserting a cassette.
A\ Attention: If you use the power switch on the side
panel, you switch off the set completely from the mains
power supply. No programmed recordings are possible in
this state. The red standby lamp (standby®) at the front
of the set will not be alight. After some time, the date and
clock settings will be lost.
We therefore advise you to keep your TV-Video Combi
connected to the mains and keep the mains switch
on at all times to ensure that programmed recordings can
be made and that the television works normally. The
power consumption will be low.
□ Attention: If you switch off the appliance using the power
switch |Ж], make sure that you have removed the tape
by pressing the IB/A I button.
□ If the TV-Video Combi does not receive a signal for more
than 15 minutes, it switches off automatically to conserve
energy.
□ If the TV-Video Combi is not plugged into the mains, the
TV channel and timer information is stored for approx,
one year, and the clock information is stored for approx.
30 minutes.
□ If a TV channel which transmits TeletexVPDC is stored
under programme number 'РОГ, time and date will
automatically be taken from the Teletext/PDC information
after an interruption of the power supply to the set.

Therefore,appears first and only after the tape
has been running for a few seconds the playing time
will be shown.
During NTSC playback, the cassette length cannot
be detected automatically. Therefore, only the
playing time since the insertion of the cassette is
displayed.
* You can reset the counterto '0:00:00' using the
