Safety Precautions  
Warning: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this  
equipment to rain or moisture.  
Federal Com m unications Com m ission (FCC) W arning: Any  
unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment void the users  
authority to operate it.  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a  
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits  
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference  
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate  
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the  
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.  
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a partic-  
ular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio  
or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment  
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one  
or more of the following measures:  
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to  
which the receiver is connected.  
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.  
Philips Consum er Electronics recommends you use only video cassette  
tapes that have the  
mark. Other tapes may cause poor picture quality  
and excessive deposits on the video heads that the warranty may not cover  
if damage occurs.  
This TV/VCR has a High Quality (HQ) system and is compatible with exist-  
ing Video Home System (VHS) equipment.  
Note to the Cable TV System Installer: This reminder calls the Cable  
TV system installers attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical  
Code, which provides guidelines for proper grounding in particular, speci-  
fying that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of  
the building, as close to the point of cable entry as possible.

12 Setting the Clock  
There are three ways to set the clock: Manually, with Automatic PBS  
Channel Selection, or with Manual PBS Channel Selection. With  
manual clock setting, you tell the TV/VCR the current time. With  
Automatic or Manual PBS Channel Selection, the TV/VCR gets the  
time from your local PBS station.  
If you use either Manual PBS Channel Selection or Automatic PBS  
Channel Selection, follow the steps on page 19 to have the TV/VCR  
maintain the clock according to your Time Zone. The channel that  
supplies the time might broadcast from a different time zone. So,  
select your Time Zone to ensure the clock is correct.  
Cable Box users m ust set the clock m anually.  
To set the clock manually, follow the steps on pages 12-13. To set  
the clock using Automatic PBS Channel Selection, follow the steps  
on pages 14-15. To set the clock using Manual PBS Channel  
Selection, follow the steps on pages 16-17.

Tape Speeds  
This chart shows the recording/playback time for three types of  
video cassettes (T160, T120, and T60). There are three playback  
speeds: SP, LP, and SLP. A tape will play only in the speed in which  
it was recorded. When recording, you can change the tape speed  
using the SPEED button. You cannot record in LP speed on this  
TV/VCR. The slower the speed, the more programming you can  
fit on the tape. SLP is the slowest speed.  
If you pause a recording for more  
than five minutes, the TV/VCR will  
switch to Stop mode automatically to  
protect the video cassette tape from  
damage.  
You can change the tape speed with  
the SPEED button while a recording is  
in progress, but some distortion may  
appear on the tape.

Automatic Operation Features 53  
The following playback features will always operate.  
Autom atic Playback  
When you put a tape in the TV/VCR, the power will come on  
automatically. If the tapes record tab is missing, playback will  
begin. If a timer recording is set, the power will not come on  
automatically when you insert a tape with the record tab intact. If  
a timer recording is set and the TV/VCR power is off, the  
TV/VCR will eject the tape if the record tab is missing.  
Autom atic Rewind, Eject, O ff  
When you play, fast forward, or record a tape to its end, the  
TV/VCR will rewind the tape, stop, turn itself off, and eject the  
tape. If a real-time counter memory is set, the TV/VCR may only  
rewind the tape to the point at which the real-time counter is set  
to zero. The TV/VCR will not turn itself off or eject the tape.  
Mem ory Rewind, Power O ff  
When you press the POWER button while the TV/VCR is rewind-  
ing a tape, REW G POWER OFF will appear on the screen. The

rewind the tape to the point at which the counter was set to  
zero, then turn itself off.  
Tape Eject  
A tape can be ejected with the TV/VCR power on or off (but the

a tape can not be ejected when the power is off. Turn on the  
TV/VCR power, then eject the tape. Be sure to insert a tape and  
turn off the TV/VCR power for the timer recording.  
Autom atic Tracking Adjustm ent

Location  
For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your TV/VCR, remember the following:  
Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from sources of intense heat.  
Avoid dusty or humid places.  
Avoid places with insufficient ventilation. Do not block the ventilation openings at the top and bottom of  
the TV/VCR. Do not place the TV/VCR on a carpet, as this will block the ventilation openings.  
Avoid locations subject to strong vibrations.  
Do not place the TV/VCR near strong magnetic fields.  
Do not move the TV/VCR from a cold place to a hot place, or vice versa.  
Electrical Shock and Fire Hazards  
Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

tab is missing.  
You can not rem ove the tape from the TV/VCR.  
Make sure the power plug is completely connected to an AC (alternating current) outlet.  
If a timer recording is programmed, turn on the TV/VCR power, then eject the tape. Be sure to insert a  
tape and turn off the TV/VCR power for the timer recording.  
Unplug the TV/VCR power cord for five minutes. Then, plug in the power cord again, then press the  
POWER button on the TV/VCR. If the tape does not eject, press the STOP/EJECT button on the TV/VCR  
three to five times. If the tape still does not eject, you may need to have an authorized servicer remove the  
tape.  
TV/VCR ejects the tape when you try to start a recording.  
Make sure the tape has a record tab. Details are on page five.  
The cylinder rotates when tape playback is stopped.  
To enable the quick play mechanism, the cylinder will rotate for about five minutes. This is normal. The  
quick play mechanism switches the tape mechanism from Stop to Play in just one second.
