Basic Connections

• Please refer to the instruction books of your TV,VCR, Stereo System or other devices as necessary to make the best connections.

• Make one of the following connections, depending on the capabilities of your existing equipment.

The following guidelines are options for the best picture and sound quality available on your DVD/VCR.

Picture

1 Use SCART RGB Output (DVD/VCR(AV1 TV)) for best pic-

ture quality (for DVD features).

2 Use S-VIDEO Output for the better picture quality (for DVD

features only).

3 Use SCART Composite Output for good picture quality (for

DVD and VCR features).

4 If your TV only has a RF-style (Antenna IN or 75 ohm) input,

use the RF OUT for connection and set your TV to channel 22 ~ 69 with the same channel for DVD/VCR is set (for DVD and VCR features).

Sound

Digital audio connections provide the clearest sound. Connect the DVD/VCR DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (either COAXIAL or OPTICAL) to your amplifier or receiver (for DVD features only).

2 Use SCART Output (DVD/VCR(AV1 TV)) for better sound

quality (for DVD and VCR features). If digital connections are not possible, connect the DVD/VCR ANALOG AUDIO OUT(Left and Right) to your amplifier, receiver, stereo or TV (for DVD features only).

Warning! – Never make or change connections with the power

switched on.

– Connect the DVD/VCR directly to your TV, instead of eg.

a VCR, to avoid distortion because DVD video discs are copy protected.

– Do not connect the ANALOG AUDIO OUT of DVD/VCR

to PHONO IN of your amplifier or receiver.

– If you use the Euro audio/video cable, it is not necessary

to connect the analog audio cable.

Simplest connection using only supplied black RF coaxial cable

1 Disconnect the antenna or cable from your TV. 2

Connect the antenna or cable to the AERIAL of your DVD/VCR.

3 Connect black RF coaxial cable to the RF OUT on the rear

panel of the DVD/VCR and to the ANTENNA IN on the TV.

4 Plug in the power cords of the TV and DVD/VCR.

Connecting to an Audio System(for DVD features)

discs by connecting to an optional stereo system.

2 Connect DVD/VCR ANALOG AUDIO OUT (Left and Right)

to the audio in on the stereo system.

Connecting to a TV

Connect the antenna or cable to the AERIAL of your DVD/VCR.

2 Connect the DVD/VCR (AV1 TV) on the DVD/VCR to the

corresponding connector on the TV.

Note: – Ensure that the “TV” indication on SCART cable is con-

nected to the TV set and “DVD ” indication on SCART cable is connected to the DVD/VCR.

If your TV is not equipped with a SCART input, you can select the following connection:

If your TV has a S-Video input connector,

Connect the antenna or cable to the AERIAL of your DVD/VCR.

2 Connect the S-Video out on the DVD/VCR to the S-Video in

on the TV.

3 Connect the ANALOG AUDIO OUT on the DVD/VCR to the

Left and Right audio in on the TV.

Note: – You will still need the SCART cable or RF coaxial cable

for VCR features.

Connecting to Optional Equipment (for DVD features)

• A digital component with a built-in MPEG 2 or Dolby DigitalTMdecoder allows you to enjoy the surround sound while producing the effect of being in a movie theater or a concert hall.

• The player outputs the surround sound signals from the DIGITAL OUT COAXIAL or OPTICAL connector.

If your receiver has a MPEG 2 or Dolby Digital™ decoder,

1 Connect the COAXIAL or OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

of the DVD/VCR to the COAXIAL or OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO IN on your receiver.

Note: – If the audio format of the digital output does not match

the capabilities of your receiver, the receiver will produce a strong, distorted sound or no sound at all.

– MP3 Audio is not available on the Digital Output. – You will still need the video cable or RF coaxial cable for

VCR features.

VCR Playback

English

Playing cassettes

You can use this DVD/VCR to play back recorded VHS videocassettes.You can operate the DVD/VCR using the remote control or the buttons on the front of the DVD/VCR. If you press PLAY, STOP, FWD or REW while the set is in Stand-by, the power will be automatically turned on. Additionally, if a cassette was already inserted, the corresponding operation will be performed. Your DVD/VCR can only record and play standard VHS cassettes.

1 Put a cassette into the cassette slot.The cassette is inserted

automatically.

2 Press PLAY to view the tape. 3 To stop the playback, press STOP or STOP/EJECT on the DVD/

VCR.

4 To eject the cassette, press EJECT or STOP/EJECT on the

DVD/ VCR when the DVD/ VCR stops the playback.

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 'VCR 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 'VCR Manual recording'.

Playing back NTSC cassettes

This DVD/VCR can also play back cassettes that have been recorded in SP [Standard Play] or SLP [Super Long Play] mode in the NTSC standard (for example,American cassettes). However, this only works on PAL-television sets that are suitable for a picture frequency of 60Hz.

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 DVD/VCR will show 'REM -:--'.

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

You can set the counter to '0:00:00' with CLEAR. When you put a cassette in the DVD/VCR, 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 DVD/VCR.

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'). ('-'(minus) is not shown in the display.)

'-:--' 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 DVD/VCR 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)

ward) one or more times.

1 To search for the previous marking, press INDEX 3 and then

2 For the next marking, press INDEX 3 and then g. 3 As soon as the DVD/VCR finds this marking, it automatically

switches to playback.
