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.

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.

Each time the button on your remote control is pressed, an invisible infra-red signal is sent to the video recorder. Each button has been allocated a specific code, which ensures, that the video recorder will carry out the corresponding function.If two video recorders respond to the same codes, the remote control signal emitted will be recognised and performed by both. Therefore the possibility exists, to allocate different remote control commands (with other codes) to this video recorder.This means that the uninterrupted use of both video recorders is possible once more.

ENGLISH OPTIMIZING THE MODULATOR

OOppttiimmiizziinngg tthhee mmoodduullaattoorr

If the TV set and the video recorder are only connected with an aerial cable - rather than with an additional scart cable - it may happen that in certain reception locations the modulator frequency of the video recorder is occupied by a TV channel. As soon as the video recorder is switched on, the reception quality of the TV picture deteriorates.The following steps will show you how to overcome this problem.

The purpose of this electronic assembly inside your video recorder is to pass on the picture and sound information read in from the video tape via an aerial cable like a TV signal to the TV set.The modulator frequency determines the frequency range in which these signals are transmitted.

1 Switch the video recorder on and make sure

there is no cassette in the video recorder

3 The video recorder will now transmit a test

image on this frequency

2 Press simultaneously the

SSTTOOPP

button h on the remote control and the SSTTOOPP//EEJJEECCTT ??

button on the front of the video recorder until the modulator frequency of the set appears in the display (e.g.:M583 for 583 MHz)

SWITCHING THE MODULATOR ON / OFF ENGLISH

SSwwiittcchhiinngg tthhee mmoodduullaattoorr oonn // ooffff

If picture and sound interference cannot be removed by optimising the modulator, the integral modulator can be switched off.Warning: this is only possible if you have connected the video recorder to the TV set with a scart cable. It is not possible to operate with the modulator switched off without a scart cable.
