Safety Precautions

Warning: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this
equipment to rain or moisture.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Warning: Any
unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment void the user’s
authority to operate it.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a partic­ular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:

1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Philips Consumer Electronics recommends you use only video cassette
tapes that have the mark. Other tapes may cause poor picture quality
and excessive deposits on the video heads that the warranty may not cover
if damage occurs.
This TV/VCR has a High Quality (HQ) system and is compatible with exist­ing Video Home System (VHS) equipment.
Note to the Cable TV System Installer: This reminder calls the Cable
TV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical
Code, which provides guidelines for proper grounding – in particular, speci­fying that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of
the building, as close to the point of cable entry as possible.

Before Using the TV/VCR 5

Putting Batteries in the Remote Control

1

Remove the battery compartment lid on the bottom of the

remote control by pressing in the tab, then pulling up the lid.

2

Place two AA batteries inside the battery compartment

with their +and –ends aligned as indicated.

3

Replace the battery compartment lid.

Using the Remote Control

● Point the remote control at the TV/VCR’s remote sensor, then

press the COMBI button when using the remote control to
operate the TV/VCR. Point the remote control at the Cable
Box/DBS, then press the CABLE/DBS button when using the
remote control to operate the Cable Box/DBS.

● Do not put objects between the remote control and the TV/VCR.

TV/VCR Maintenance

● In this TV/VCR, use only tapes with the mark. The use of

other tapes may result in poor picture quality and excessive
deposits on the video heads, which may not be covered by the
warranty if damage occurs.

● Remove any light adhesive stick-on notes from the video cassette

tape before putting the tape in the TV/VCR. Removable labels can
jam the TV/VCR.

● The TV/VCR requires periodic maintenance to maintain its excel-

lent performance. This TV/VCR has an automatic head cleaning
system. However, the video heads will eventually require cleaning
or replacement. Only an authorized service center should perform
this service.

Video cassette tapes have record tabs to ensure you do not erase
recordings accidentally.

1

To prevent accidental erasure, break off the tab with a
screwdriver.

2

To record again, cover the hole with cellophane tape.

the TV/VCR’s model and serial num­bers in the spaces provided on page
two. These numbers will help us
assist you if you ever call for help.

and this manual contain materials
that can be recycled and reused.

12 Setting the Clock

• Entries that do not match the
TV/VCR’s calendar will cause a
question mark (?) to appear on the
screen.

• To make corrections while you are
setting the clock, press the CLEAR
button until the space for the num­ber you want to correct is flashing.
Then enter the correct number.

Helpful Hints

There are three ways to set the clock: Manually, with Automatic PBS
Channel Selection, or with Manual PBS Channel Selection. With
manual clock setting, you tell the TV/VCR the current time. With
Automatic or Manual PBS Channel Selection, the TV/VCR gets the
time from your local PBS station. If you use either Manual PBS
Channel Selection or Automatic PBS Channel Selection, follow the
steps on page 19 to have the TV/VCR maintain the clock according
to your Time Zone. The channel that supplies the time might broad­cast from a different time zone. So, select your Time Zone to ensure
the clock is correct.

Cable Box users must set the clock manually.

To set the clock manually, follow the steps on pages 12-13. To set
the clock using Automatic PBS Channel Selection, follow the steps
on pages 14-15. To set the clock using Manual PBS Channel
Selection, follow the steps on pages 16-17.
Before you begin, make sure:

● You have connected and turned on the TV/VCR. Details are on

pages six-eight.

● Channels are set. Details are on page 10.

● Tape playback is stopped. You can not use Automatic or Manual

PBS Channel Selection during tape playback.

● You make each entry within 60 seconds of the previous entry.

• Although the remote control that
comes with your TV/VCR will work
most Cable Boxes and DBSs, it is
possible that the remote control will
not operate your Cable Box or DBS.

• The remote control may only operate
some features of your Cable Box or
DBS. For example, some Cable Boxes
may only be turned on at the Cable
Box. Therefore, the remote control
will not turn on the Cable Box.

• Press the CABLE/DBS button before
pressing any buttons to operate the
Cable Box/DBS.

• If you had to program the remote
control to operate your Cable Box or
DBS here, whenever you replace the
batteries in the remote control, you
will have to program the remote con­trol again. Write down the code you
used for future reference.

Helpful Hints
