Special functions of your new video
recorder

Your PHILIPS video recorder is not just for recording and playing back VHS cassettes. It also has
a whole range of special functions which will make the day-to-day use of your new video
recorder much easier.

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.

This function allows you to save the playback settings that suit you best. Select your own personal
settings for this type of film you are currently watching.

You can operate the main functions on your television using your video recorder remote
control, even if your television is not a Philips.

When you connect your video recorder to your television and plug it into the wall socket, you will
be welcomed with a screen menu. All you have to do is follow the instructions in the 'intelligent
help line' for the next step. Enjoy the automatic TV channel search/save function and the automatic
time setting.

This function automatically transfers all the television channel settings onto your video recorder.

Recordings made on your video recorder can be controlled by an external satellite receiver.

Your video recorder can ascertain which channel is currently playing on your television and
record from it at the touch of a button.

The precision tape drive from Philips provides short rewind times and automatic tape length
recognition.

Simple programming system for video recorders. Makes programming as easy as making a
telephone call. Simply enter the number code associated with your television programme. This
number is located in your favourite television listings magazine.

BConnecting the video recorder

Preparing the remote control for
operation

The remote control and its batteries are packed separately in the original video recorder
packaging. You must install the batteries in the remote control before use - described in the
following section.

1 Take the remote control and the enclosed batteries (2 batteries).

2 Open the remote control's battery compartment and place the

batteries in it as shown in the picture and close the battery
compartment.

The remote control is now ready to use. Its range is approximately 5 meters.

Connecting your video recorder to the TV
set

The necessary cable connections must be made before you can record or playback TV
programmes using your video recorder.
We recommend that you use a scart cable to connect your TV set and video recorder.

What is a scart cable?

The scart or Euro AV cable serves as the universal connector for picture,
sound and control signals. With this type of connection, there is practically no
loss of quality during the picture or sound transfer.

When you install your video recorder for the first time, select one of the following options:

'Connecting with a scart cable'

If your TV set has a scart socket and you are using a scart cable.

'Connecting without a scart cable'
If you do not wish to use a scart cable.

Have the following cables ready:
an aerial cable (1, supplied), a mains cable (2, supplied), a scart cable (3).

1 Remove the aerial cable plug from your TV set. Insert it into the

socket 2 at the back of the video recorder.

2 Insert one end of the supplied aerial cable into the socket TV at the

back of the video recorder and the other end into the aerial input
socket at the back of the TV set.

3 Plug one end of a scart cable into the scart socket EXT.1 AV. 1 at

the back of the video recorder and the other end into the suitable
scart socket on your TV set reserved for the video recorder
operation (see your TV's operating instructions).

My TV set has several scart sockets. Which one should I use?

Select that scart socket which is suited for the video output as well as for the
video input.

My TV offers me a selection menu for the scart socket.

Select 'TV' as a connection source of this scart socket.

4 Switch on the TV set.

5 Insert one end of the supplied mains cable into the mains socket

4 at the back of the video recorder and the other end into the wall

socket.

6 If the connection was properly made and your TV was automatically

switched to the programme number for the scart socket, e.g. 'EXT',

'0', 'AV', you will see the following picture:

video playback on your TV set (see your TV's operating instructions).

Which programme number is used for video recorder operation?

To ensure the stability of the television picture during cassette playback
(prevention of waves or streaks), special programme numbers have been set
aside on the TV for the use of video recorders. This is usually the highest
possible programme number, e.g. '12', '16', '99' or even programme number
'0'. For more information, please see your TV's operating instructions.
