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 function Smart Picture gives you the option of activating pre-defined picture settings quickly and easily at the touch of a button.
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.
VIDEO Plus+ and PlusCode are registered trademarks of Gemstar Development Corporation. The VIDEO Plus+ system is manufactured under licence from Gemstar Development Corporation.
Using the enclosed multi-code remote control you can, if you wish, control the main functions of your TV set - even if your TV is not made by Philips.
Recordings can be controlled, not only by the video recorder itself but also by a connected satellite receiver. In this way the programme from various TV stations can be recorded one after another without the need to set the corresponding channels on the satellite receiver manually. Requirement: Your satellite receiver must support this function.

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 miss­sing TV channels must be searched for and stored manually.
