OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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.

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'.

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'.
Playing back NTSC cassettes
Cassettes that have been recorded in the NTSC standard (for example, American cassettes) can be played back using this TV-Video Combi.
Displaying current tape position
The following information is displayed on the screen: e.g.: 0:02:45 shows the counter in hours, minutes and seconds. SP/LP: will show the recorded speed of your cassette 'REM 0:06': will show the actual amount of play­ing/recording time left on the tape in hours and minutes. When you play an NTSC cassette, the TV-Video Combi will show 'REM -:--'.

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'.
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 TV-Video 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.

Preventing accidental erasing
All cassettes (except rental and pre-recorded 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 or slide the tab to the right.
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:

7. Programming a recording (TIMER)
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 pro­gramme number and begin recording at the cor­rect time. With this TV-Video Combi, you can pre-programme 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.
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.
Programming a recording with the '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.
