Important for the United Kingdom

This apparatus is fitted with a BS1362 5 Amp

inside an approved moulded 13 Amp plug.

To replace a fuse in this type of plug proceed as

follows:

Connecting the cable

1.Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2.Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A,

ASTA or BSI approved type.

3.Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket

outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate

plug fitted in its place. If the mains plug contains

a fuse, this should have a value of 5A. If a plug

without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribu-

tion board should not be greater than 5A.

1.Insert the aerial cable plug into the AERIAL

at the back of the TV-Video Combi.

2.Connect the mains cable to the wall socket.

5. Playback

Playing back cassettes

Automatic switch-off of special functions

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

themselves off automatically after a short time

in order to protect the cassette and to save

energy.

You can operate the TV-Video Combi using the

remote control or the buttons on the set.

Your TV-Video Combi can only record and play

standard VHS cassettes.

1.Put a cassette into the cassette slot. The cas-

sette is inserted automatically.

Playing back NTSC cassettes

DIGITAL STUDIO PICTURE CONTROL

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 TV-Video Combi can also play back cas-

settes that have been recorded in SP [Standard

Play] or SLP [Super Long Play] mode in the

NTSC standard (for example, American cas-

settes). However, this only works on PAL-televi-

sion sets that are suitable for a picture frequency

of 60Hz.

Picture/ sound quality is poor

When playing back rental videos or older, poor-

er quality cassettes, it may not be possible to

completely filter out picture and sound interfer-

ence. This is not a fault in your machine. Read

the section ‘Manual tracking’.

Displaying current tape position

The following information is displayed on the

screen: e.g.: 0:02:45 shows the counter in hours,

minutes and seconds.

SP/LP: will show the recorded speed of your

cassette.

‘REM 0:06’: will show the remaining time left on

the tape in hours and minutes.

When you play back an NTSC cassette, the TV-

Video Combi will show ‘REM -:--’.

PLAY B-K

2.Press

to view the tape.

STOP C-L

3.To stop the playback, press

STOP/EJECT

on the TV-Video Combi.

4.To eject the cassette, press ^STOP/EJECTwhen

the TV-Video Combi stops the playback.

Do I need to change the playback speed when

playing back LP recordings?

During playback, the correct speed will automati-

cally be selected. For more information, please

read the section ‘Selecting the recording speed

(SP or LP)’ in the chapter ‘Manual recording’.

‘-0:01:20’ (the cassette was rewound to 1

‘-:--’ is displayed in the ‘REM’ counter

This counter will automatically recognise the

length of the tape. In addition, when you put in

a cassette, the TV-Video Combi will first calcu-

late the time played back. Therefore, ‘-:--’

appears first and only after the tape has been

running for a few seconds, the correct remain-

and pre-recorded cassettes)

have a security tab on the

back of the cassette.

ing), you can remove this security tab.

If you later decide to record on a protected cas-

sette, simply cover the hole with adhesive tape

or slide the tab to the right.

If you want to start a recording manually but

have it stopped automatically, read the section

‘Recording with automatic switch-off’. (e.g.

not to record to the end of the tape)

Read the section ‘Automatic controlled

recording from a satellite receiver (RECORD

LINK)’, if you want a recording to be controlled

automatically by a satellite receiver.

Lining up recordings (assemble cut)

When you add a further recording to a cassette,

General information

Use a TIMER programming to automatically start

and stop a recording at a later time or date. The

TV-Video Combi will switch to the right pro-

gramme number and begin recording at the cor-

rect time. With this TV-Video Combi, you can

pre-programme up to eight recordings within a

period of one year. To make a programmed

recording, your TV-Video Combi 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

* PDC on or off

What is ‘PDC’?

‘PDC’ (Programme Delivery Control) is used to

control the start and duration of TV channel

recordings. If a TV programme starts earlier or

ends later than scheduled, the TV-Video Combi

will turn on and off at the correct time.

What do I need to know about ‘PDC’?

Usually the PDC time is the same as the start

time. But if your TV guide shows a PDC time

which is different from the programme’s sched-

uled start time, e.g. 20.10 (PDC 20.14), you

must enter the PDC time exactly to the minute.

If you want a start time different from the PDC

time, you must switch PDC off.
