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 couldnt 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.
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 minimised, 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 VIDEO Plus+ 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.

TV channels are transmitted on precisely-defined
frequency ranges.These ranges are also referred to as
channels. Each channel has its own TV station
allocated to it. Most cable and satellite TV providers
supply tables of channel allocations. Special channels
(hyperband channels) are transmitted on special
frequencies.
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.

channels. This procedure may take several
minutes. As soon as all the TV channels have
been stored, the screen will show the
message STORED.
On initial installation, the video recorder performs an automatic
channel search. If the channel assignments of your cable or
satellite TV provider change or if you are reinstalling the video
recorder, e.g. after moving house, you can start this procedure
again. The video recorder finds all the available TV channels and
stores the new settings.

case, the missing TV channels must be searched

do this in the chapter Initial installation
(Searching for a TV channel manually).
