Special functions of your new video
recorder

Your PHILIPSvideo 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.

Philips provides the best possible connection between your video recorder and other home
cinema equipment.

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.

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

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 abutton.

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

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 and Easy Link'

If your TV set is equipped with 'Easy Link, NexTView, Megalogic, Datalogic,…' and you wish to
use a scart cable.

EPlayback

Playing cassettes

You can use this video recorder to play back recorded VHS video cassettes. You can operate
the video recorder using the remote control or the buttons on the front of the video recorder.

What does VHS mean?

'Video Home System' (VHS) has become the world-wide standard for the

playback and recording of amateur video cassettes. This popular standard

continues to be improved. Super VHS (S-VHS) provides a sharper picture and

less noise. Digital VHS (D-VHS) works with digital picture and sound signals.

Your video recorder can only record and play standard VHS cassettes.

1 Put a cassette into the cassette slot.

The cassette is inserted automatically. ' v ' will appear on the display.

2 Press the Play button PLAY G to view the tape.

This will, for example, appear in the display:

0:00:02

a Picture / sound quality is poor

b When playing rental videos or older, poorer quality cassettes, it may not be

possible to completely filter out picture and sound interference. This is not
a fault in your machine.
Please read the section 'Selecting the picture settings (SMART PICTURE)',
or the chapter 'Eliminating picture interference'.

b During playback the automatic TV system will switch-over automatically. If

picture/sound interference occurs, attempt to fix the problem by manually
switching the TV system. In that case, turn to chapter 'Additional functions'
section 'Switching the video (color) system'.

3 To stop the playback, press STOP h on the remote control or

STOP/EJECT ? on the video recorder.

4 To eject the cassette, press STOP/EJECT ? on the video

recorder when the video recorder stops the playback (STOP).

ENGLISH

Playback

24

Automatic switch-off of special functions

Many functions (e.g. pause, still picture, search) switch themselves off

automatically after a short time in order to protect the cassette and to save

energy.

Do I need to change the playback speed when playing back LP

recordings?

For playback, the correct recording speed 'SP' will automatically be selected.

For more information, please read the section 'Selecting the recording speed

(SP/LP)' in the chapter 'Manual recording'.

Playing back NTSC cassettes

Cassettes that have been recorded in the NTSC standard (for example, American cassettes) can
be played back using this video recorder. However, this only works on PAL-television sets which
are suitable for a picture frequency of 60Hz.
When you play an NTSC cassette '60HZ' will appear on the display.
Some special features (for example, still picture) are not possible while you are playing an NTSC
cassette.

Displaying current tape position

The display shows the tape position in hours, minutes and seconds. In addition, by pressing

OK you can show the present tape position on the TV screen.
The following information is displayed on the screen:
e.g.: 0:02:45 Shows the tape position in hours, minutes and seconds.
Moving/blinking arrow: This indicates the current tape position. The arrow moves in a line from
left (tape start) to right (tape end).
'REMAIN 0:06': will show the actual amount of playing/recording time left on the tape in hours
and minutes.
When you play an NTSC cassette, the video recorder will not show 'REMAIN 0:06'.

How can I set the counter to '0:00:00'?

You can set the counter to '0:00:00' using CLEAR (CL) .
When you put a cassette in the machine, the counter will automatically reset
to 0:00:00'.

Playback

25

a The counter does not move

b This occurs when there are no recordings on a portion of a tape.

Therefore, the video recorder cannot receive any information from the
tape. This is not a fault in your machine.

a The display/the screen shows '-0:01:20'

b If you rewind a cassette from the tape position '0:00:00', the counter will

show for instance, '-0:01:20' (the cassette will be rewound to 1 minute
and 20 seconds before '0:00:00').

a '-:--' is displayed in the 'REMAIN' counter

b This counter will automatically recognise the length of the tape. In addition,

when you put in a cassette the video recorder must first calculate the time
played. Therefore, '-:--' appears first and only after the tape has been
running for a few seconds will the correct playing time be shown.

slide it to the left.
If you later decide to record on a protected cassette, simply cover the hole with adhesive tape
or slide the tab to the right.

Lining up recordings (assemble cut)

When you add a further recording to a cassette, which already has a recording on it, a short
blank (flicker) can appear between the old and the new recording or the picture itself can flicker.

HProgramming a recording (TIMER)

General information

Use programming a recording (TIMER) to automatically start and stop a recording at a later date.
The video recorder will switch to the right programme number and begin recording at the
correct time.
With this video recorder, you can pre-programme up to six recordings within a period of one
month.

To make a programmed recording, your video recorder needs to know:
* the date you want to make the recording
* the programme number of the TV channel
* the start and stop time of the recording

This information is saved in a 'TIMER block'.

What is 'VPS/PDC'?

'VPS' (Video Programming System)/ 'PDC'(Programme Delivery Control) are
used to control the start and duration of TV channel recordings. If a TV
programme starts earlier or ends later, the video recorder will then turn on
and off and the correct time.

What do I need to know about 'VPS/PDC'?

You must enter the start time exactly to the minute.
If you want to programme a time that is different from the VPS or PDC time,
you must switch off VPS or PDC.

Only one TV program of a TV channel can be controlled using 'VPS/PDC' at a
time. If you want to record two or more TV programmes on a TV channel
using 'VPS/PDC', you will need to programme these as two separate
recordings.

Programming a recording
