Your Philips video recorder can be used, not only for recording and playing back VHS cassettes, but it also has a whole range of special functions which will make day-to-day use of your new video recorder easier for you.

Plug in and off you go - getting started with your new video recorder just couldnt be simpler. Once you have connected the cables, you will immediately see text on the screen which will assist you at all stages of operation.

The Easylink function guarantees the best possible connection between your video recorder and other Home Cinema devices.

Philips has developed a system which makes it possible for you to get the best possible playback quality from video cassettes. Interference on old, often-played tapes is minimized, and in new or high quality cassettes, details are even clearer.

The precision mechanism developed by Philips guarantees short rewind times and, by automatically detecting the length of the tape, makes operation as easy as possible for the user.

The simple programming system for video recorders revolutionized the video world when it was introduced. Instead of having to enter many different details (date, starting time, finish time, programme), which was often tiresome and liable to errors, all you have to do is enter a number, up to nine digits long, which can be found in any TV programme listing. Once you have done that, all the relevant details for the recording are stored.

In exceptional cases, it may happen that on initial installation the set does not find all the available TV channels. In this case, the missing TV channels must be searched for and stored manually.
