Setting Up your System

Connecting to a TV

1 Disconnect the antenna or cable from your TV. 2

Connect the antenna or cable to the AERIAL of your System.

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

panel of the System and to the ANTENNA IN on the TV.

4 Connect the AV1 (TV) jack on the System to the correspond-

ing 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 System.

5 Plug in the power cords of the TV and the System.

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 System.

Picture

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

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 the System is set (for DVD and VCR features).

Sound

Digital audio connections provide the clearest sound. Connect the System DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL) 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).

Warning! – Never make or change connections with the power

switched on.

– Connect the System directly to your TV, instead of eg. a

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

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

to use other audio cables.

Setting Up your System

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 connector.

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

1 Connect the COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT of the System

to the COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO IN on your receiver.

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

the capabilities of your receiver, the receiver will pro-

duce 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.

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 System.

2 Connect the S-Video out on the System to the S-Video in on

the TV.

3 Connect the COAXIAL (Digital audio out) on the System to

the Coaxial jack on the TV.

VCR 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 '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 System 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 System 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 System, 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 System.

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 System 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)

1 While a cassette is playing, press REWh(rewind) or FF

(forward) one or more times.

2 Press PLAY B to resume playback.

Still picture / slow motion

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

still picture.

2 During playback, press SLOW to play the tape in slow motion. 3 Press PLAY B to resume playback.

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

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

1 Stop the tape with STOP C. 2 Press REWh(rewind) or FFg(forward). 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.

1 To search for the previous marking, press SEARCH/INDEX 3

and then REWh.

2 For the next marking, press SEARCH/INDEX 3 and then

FFg.

3 As soon as the System finds this marking, it automatically

switches to playback.

Manual Tracking

To manually adjust the tracking during playback and slow motion playback, press SKIP/P+G or SKIP/P-H. 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 SKIP/P+G or SKIP/P-H.

Playing cassettes

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

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

automatically.

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

the System.

4 To eject the cassette, press STOP/EJECT C A on the System

when the System stops the playback.

General information

Use a TIMER programming to automatically start and stop a recording at a later time or date.The System will switch to the right programme number and begin recording at the correct time.With this System, you can pre-programme up to eight recordings within a period of one year.To make a programmed recording, your System 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 System 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 'SHOWVIEW® 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 SHOWVIEW-programming number. You can find this SHOWVIEW number in most TV listing magazines written next to the concerned programme.

1 Press SV/V+. 2 Enter the entire SHOWVIEW num-

ber.This number is up to 9 digits long and can be found next to the start time of the TV programme in your TV listing magazine. [e.g: 1234-5 or 1 234 5] If you make a mistake, you can clear your input with CLEAR.

3 Press SV/V+. 4 Select ONCE, DAILY or WEEKLY

Matrix: Delivers sound through 5.1 Channels.You will have sound at all five speakers (Front Left and Right,Center, and Rear (Surround) Left and Right). Dolby Digital: Dolby Digital is a high-quality audio compression technology first used in movies.This technology has since been adopted for use in Consumer Electronic products and allows you to enjoy the same type of sound in your home.Your player has a built-in Dolby Digital decoder so you can enjoy DVDs that include a Dolby Digital soundtrack. You can identify DVDs and equipment that contain Dolby Digital by looking for the following logo: Dolby Pro Logic: A two-channnel analog format that proivides sound through four speakers (Front Left and Right, Center, and a single Rear (Surround)) when using a Dolby ProLogic Decoder. It is compatible with a Stereo, but you will only have two-channel sound (left and right) at the Stereo. DTS (Digital Theater System): Developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., of the United States. Sound is compressed to reduce its recording size. Since the compression level is less than Dolby Digital, the quantity of data is greater when decoded, providing clarity and depth in the sound.The sound has a wider dynamic range and higher resolution.

Note:

- Surround Sound is not available when you are using headphones.The SURROUND light will turn off.
