Special functions on your video recorder

This system ensures that your picture will be of the best possible quality. This is made possible by a combination of Philips’ very latest technologies: Natural Colour, Smart Picture, Digital Studio Picture Control and laser-cut video heads.

Natural Colour produces detailed pictures in clear colours.

Philips has developed a system which produces the best possible playback quality. It reduces disturbance on old, worn video cassettes, and emphasises the detail on very good quality cassettes.

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

By pressing the button once you obtain both simply and conveniently an overview of your entire video archive. You never need to search again because the tape manager stores all recordings and knows on which cassette they are located.

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 mains, you will be welcomed with an OSD picture. 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 adjustment.

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

We guarantee that your video recorder will switch to the new millennium with no problems whatsoever.

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

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

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

Simple programming system for video recorders. Makes programming as easy as making a telephone call. Simply enter the programme code which you will find in your listings magazine.

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

1. HOW TO CONNECT YOUR VIDEO RECORDER

Important for the United Kingdom

This machine is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug, please follow these instructions.

a Take off the fuse cover and take out the fuse.

b Put in a new fuse which should be a BS1362 3A, A.S.T.A.

or BSI approved type.

c Refit the fuse cover.

If the plug fitted is not suitable for your socket, cut it off and fit another type. If the plug you fit contains a fuse, it should be a 3Amp fuse. If you fit a plug which does not need a fuse, make sure the fuse on your fuse box is not greater than 5 Amps.

DNote: Please destroy the plug you have cut off so

that it cannot be used in a 13 Amp socket somewhere else.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the lead from the video recorder are coloured as follows. * Blue - ’neutral’ (’N’). * Brown - ’live’ (’L’).

How to connect your video recorder to the TV set

We recommend the use of a scart cable. This will give you the best picture and sound quality.

When you install your video recorder for the first time, please read:

E The section ’Connecting with scart cable and Easy

Link/NexTView’, when your TV set is equipped with ’Easy Link/NexTView’.

E The section ’Connecting with scart cable without Easy

Link/NexTView’, when your TV set is not equipped with ’Easy Link/NexTView’.

E The section ’Connecting without a scart cable’, if you are

not using a scart cable.

d Connect the blue wire to the terminal in the plug which is

marked with the letter ’N’ or coloured black.

e Connect the brown wire to the terminal in the plug which

is marked with the letter ’L’ or coloured red.

f Do not connect either of the wires to the terminal in the

plug which is marked with the letter ’E’, the symbol \or coloured green or green and yellow.

Before you refit the plug cover, make sure that the grip at the bottom of the plug is clamped over the plastic cover of the lead, not just over the two wires.

Connecting with scart cable and ’Easy link/NexTView’

With the function ’Easy Link/NexTView’, your video recorder can exchange information with the television (see instruction manual TV set.). With ’Easy Link/NexTView’ the TV channels from the TV will automatically be loaded.
