Important for the United Kingdom

This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug.To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1 Remove fuse cover and fuse. 2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 3A,ASTA or BSI

approved type.

3 Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 3A. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 3A.

The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug:

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

BLUE- 'NEUTRAL' ('N') BROWN- 'LIVE' ('L')

The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter 'N' or coloured BLACK.

5 The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is

marked with the letter 'L' or coloured RED.

6 Do not connect either wires to the earth terminal in the plug

which is marked with the letter 'E' or by the safety earth symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow. Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead-not imply over the two wires.

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 and VCR 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.

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.

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)

1 You can also listen to the sound of audio CDs and DVD video

discs by connecting to an optional stereo system.

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

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 back 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 'VCR Manual recording'.

Playing back NTSC cassettes

This DVD/ VCR can also playback 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 remainning time left on the tape in hours and minutes. When you playback an NTSC cassette, the DVD/ VCR will show “REM -:--”.

Searching for a tape position with picture (scanning)

1 During playback, press hor gone or more times. 2 If you want to search in super high speed, press hor

once more. (This function will not operate for a cas-

sette recorded in SP mode in the NTSC standard.)

1 During playback, press PAUSE kto stop the tape and display a

still picture.

2 During playback, press SLOW to playback the tape in slow

motion.

Scanning and still/slow motion interferes with the picture quality.The sound is switched off.This is not a fault in your DVD/ VCR.

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

1.Stop the tape with STOP C.

2.Press hor g. 'Fr' or 'FF' will appear on the display for 5 seconds, and then, the remaining tape time will appear.

3.To stop the tape, press STOP C.

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.

Tracking will return to Automatic Tracking Adjustment when you press STOP C, insert a tape, or press PLAY B. To r emove vertical jitter in a Still picture, press Programme+, Programme-, P+ or P-.

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”).

“-:--” 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 will first calculate the time played.Therefore,“-:--” appears first and only after the tape has been running for a few seconds, the correct remaining time will be shown.

Solution

– Check if the AC power cord is properly connected. – Check if the TV is switched on. – Check the video connection. – Sometimes a small amount of picture distortion may appear.This is not a mal-

function. – Connect DVD/VCR directly to the TV. – Make sure the disc is compatible with the DVD/VCR. – Adjust the volume. – Check that the speakers are connected correctly. – Check the digital connections. – Check if the audio format of the selected audio

language matches your receiver capabilities. – Check that the SCART cable is connected to the correct device (See

Connecting to a TV) – Check the disc for fingerprints/scratches and clean with a soft cloth wiping from

centre edge. – This may happen when you use the disc recorded in the non-seamless manner.

This is not a malfunction. – Ensure the disc label is facing up. – Check if the disc is defective by trying another disc. – Reset the unit by switching the DVD/VCR off, then on again.

– Aim the remote control directly at the sensor on the front of the DVD/VCR. – Reduce the distance to the DVD/VCR. – Replace the batteries in the remote control. – Re-insert the batteries with their polarities (+/– signs) as indicated. – To completely reset the DVD/VCR, unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet for

5-10 seconds. – Operations may not be permitted by the disc.

Refer to the instructions of the disc. – Use a commonly available cleaning CD/DVD to clean the lens before sending

the DVD/VCR for repair. – Playback will stop for more than 35 minutes and no button is pressed.

– Make sure the tape has a record tab. – Make sure the DVD/VCR is in VCR position. – Check the TV and the DVD/VCR channel are similar. – Make sure the recording start and stop times are set correctly. – Make sure the tape has a record tab. – Make sure the clock is set. – The DVD/VCR may not perform or continue a timer recording if the power

fails for more than 1 minute. –To enable quick play mechanism, the cylinder will rotate for about five minutes.

This is normal. – Insert a tape, window side up with the record tab facing you. – Gently push on the center of the tape when putting into the DVD/VCR. – Make sure the power plug is completely connected to a power outlet. – Make sure the tape has a record tab.
