Introduction
Welcome to the family of owners of
Philips VHS video recorders.
Thank you for choosing to buy our product. Please wait at
least three hours after transporting the appliance before
starting installation. The set needs this time in order to
become acclimatised to its new environment (temperature, air
humidity, etc.).
Your Philips Team hopes that
you will enjoy using your new
video recorder!
This product complies with the requirements of Directive 73/23/EEC + 89/336/EEC + 93/68 EEC.
Important notes for operation
You should not under any circumstances open the set yourself.
You would expose yourself to the risk of an electric shock from
the hazardous high voltage inside.
When the appliance is connected to the power supply, there are some
components which are constantly operational.To switch off the video
recorder completely, you must disconnect it from the power supply.
The video recorder does not contain any components that can be
repaired by the customer.
Make sure that air can circulate freely through the ventilation slots on
the video recorder.
Make sure that no objects or liquids enter the video recorder. If liquid is
spilt into it, disconnect the video recorder immediately from the power
supply and call the After Sales Service for advice.
The video recorder should not be used immediately after
transportation from a cold to a hot area or vice versa, or
in conditions of extreme humidity.
!
These operating instructions have been printed on non-polluting paper.
Please deposit old batteries at the relevant collection points.
Please make use of the facilities available in your country for
disposing of the video recorder packaging in a way that helps
to protect the environment.

The most important functions of your new video recorder
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.
Using the enclosed multi-code remote control you can, if you wish, control the main functions of yourTV
set - even if your TV is not made by Philips.
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.
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.
So that you can identify your machine in the event of theft, enter the serial number (PROD. NO)
here.You will find it on the type plate on the back of the set.
MODEL NO.
PROD. NO.
VR 708/07
..............................
If you have any problems using the video recorder, please read the corresponding
chapters in this instruction manual. If you have any questions, there is also a customer
support service available in your country. You can find the telephone number in the
guarantee information enclosed in the packaging. Please have your model number
(MODEL NO.) and production number (PROD. NO.) ready.

Important information for customers in Great Britain
This set is fitted with an approved moulded 13 amp plug.To change the fuse in this plug or to

dard or BSI standard
3 Close the fuse cover
If the attached plug does not meet your requirements, you can cut it off and replace it with a
suitable plug. Please observe the following conditions:

in the plug which is marked with the letter“E”, the symbol “ \” or coloured
green or green / 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.

TV channels are transmitted on precisely-defined
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

Searching for a TV channel automatically
On initial installation, the video recorder performs an automatic
channel search. If the channel assignments of your cable or satell-
lite TV provider change or if you are reinstalling the video recor-
der, e.g. after moving house, you can start this procedure again.
The video recorder finds all the available TV channels and stores
the new settings. If your set supports the Easylink function, you
can start the automatic transfer of channel data by means of the
following steps.

Energy consumption
Saving energy
The video recorder should always be connected to the mains so as not to affect
programmed recordings and use of the TV set. Power consumption (in energy
saving mode) is less than 4W.
In standby mode, the display of the video recorder shows the current time.This
display can be deactivated manually, in order to reduce power consumption to a
minimum in standby mode.You can find the necessary steps in the section“Other
functions” (“Energy-saving mode”).
The video recorder and the remote control have the option of an “Emergency
exit”.You can use the Standby button mto interrupt any step during use. But even
without an “emergency brake” your new video recorder is safe: there is no risk
whatsoever of damaging the set by performing user steps incorrectly.
Emergency exit
In the event of a
power cut
Channel data are stored for around 1 year, time and timer data remain in the
memory of the video recorder for around 7 hours.

reduced picture quality) for example record about 360
minutes of programmes on a 180 minute cassette.With
the Auto Long Play (AUTO) setting, the video recorder
calculates, before starting the programmed recording,
how much playing time remains on the cassette
inserted. Depending on the calculated remaining playing
time and the duration of the programmed recording,the
recording will be made in Standard Play or Long Play.

11 Suppressing interference
Optimizing the modulator
If the TV set and the video recorder are only connected with an
aerial cable - rather than with an additional scart cable - it may
happen that in certain reception locations the modulator
frequency of the video recorder is occupied by aTV channel. As
soon as the video recorder is switched on, the reception quality
of theTV picture deteriorates.The following steps will show you
how to overcome this problem.
What is a modulator?
The purpose of this electronic assembly inside your
video recorder is to pass on the picture and sound
information read in from the video tape via an aerial
cable like a TV signal to the TV set. The modulator
frequency determines the frequency range in which
J
these signals are transmitted.

there is no cassette in the video recorder

If picture and sound interference cannot be removed by optimising the
modulator, the integral modulator can be switched off.Warning: this is
only possible if you have connected the video recorder to the TV set
with a scart cable. It is not possible to operate with the modulator
switched off without a scart cable.
