Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing your new VCR.
You can’t wait to get it working, but before you do, spare a few moments to read this brief introduction to the world of video recording. It may repay you handsomely in terms of improved results, and avoiding of costly mis­takes.
Positioning
Do not place the VCR directly on top of, or underneath, your TV set. Ensure that there is at least 20 cm between the VCR and the TV set, and that air can circulate freely through the ventilation openings of the VCR.

TAPE MANAGER
INTRODUCTION
The Philips Tape Manager is a very helpful and powerful assistant. The Tape Manager will tell you;
- on which tape you find your recorded programmes.
- on which tape you find enough blank space for new recordings.
Every recording will be memorised (date, start and stop time, length and channel) and the tapes will be given unique numbers to identify them.
Find a Title
This function is useful when you wish to quickly find out what programmes you have recorded on a tape using this VCR. It allows you to select a programme to watch, and then automatically searches for the start of the programme.
1Load a Recorded Cassette
Insert a recorded cassette. The tape will run for a few seconds to search for the tape number. The tape number is displayed on the screen for about 5 seconds.
2Access Title Screen
1 Press VCR. 2 Press TAPE MANAGER. The title
screen will appear.
Note:
• If no cassette is inserted in the VCR, “FIND TITLE” screen appears. (✈P.15)
3Select a Programme
1 Press PLAY 5 or
STOP ∞ to select
the programme you want to watch.
2 Press
OK/STATUS. Playback begins automatically after the selected programme is located. Press STOP
7
if you wish to stop the tape at the
beginning of the programme.
Notes:
• It may take a few seconds to display the directory screen while the VCR searches for the programme information at step 2.
• Tape manager is possible with the cassettes recorded with this VCR only.
• To record the date and time as the programme title in this VCR’s memory , make sure the VCR’s clock is set correctly before recording.
• To record the programme information in this VCR’s memor y, you must recor d each programme for over the minimum continuous recording time;
-For PAL signal: 8 minutes for the SP mode or 15 minutes for the LP mode.
-For NTSC signal: 5 minutes for the SP mode or 15 minutes for the SLP mode.
• After recording a tape with this VCR, write the tape number on a label and affix the label to the tape in order to allow you to find the tape by its number. The tape number will be assigned and appear on the screen once you eject the recorded tape.
• If the Tape Manager does not show the content of the inserted tape, wind the tape to a recent recording and press the TAPE MANAGER button again.
• The programme information is stored in this VCR’s memory. If the memory in this VCR should ever be damaged and the programme information lost, it is impossible to restore that information.
• If the VCR finds two tape numbers in one tape while playing back or searching for the beginning of a program, then when you remove the tape, the tape will be assigned just one number (smaller number).

Check the following points once again if you are having some difficulties with your VCR.
IMPORTANT
Periodic maintenance is required in order to maintain the VCR’s continuous excellent performance. After a period of time the video heads will require replacement. If cleaning or replacement of the video heads is required, this service should be performed at an authorized video system service center.
