Safety Precautions  
W arning: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose  
this equipm ent to rain or m oisture.  
FCC W arning: Any unauthorized changes or m odifica-  
tions to this equipm ent void the users authority to oper-

This TV/VCR, equipped with a HQ (High Quality) system, is com-  
patible with existing VHS (video home system) equipment.  
Philips Consum er Electronics Com pany recommends that  
you use only video cassette tapes that have been tested and  
inspected for use in two, four, six, and eight hour VCRs, and  
which are labeled with the  
mark. The use of tapes that  
have not been inspected for use in two, four, six, and eight hour  
VCRs may result in poor picture quality and excessive deposits on  
the video heads, which may not be covered by the warranty if  
damage occurs.  
Note to the Cable TV System Installer: This reminder is  
provided to call the Cable TV system installers attention to  
Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code, which provides  
guidelines for proper grounding – in particular, specifying 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 m anual clock setting, you tell the TV/VCR the current  
time. The TV/VCR then adjusts the time accordingly. With  
Automatic or Manual PBS Channel Selection, the TV/VCR gets the  
current time from your local PBS station. It updates the time by  
referring to your PBS station broadcasts. If you use either Manual  
PBS Channel Selection or Automatic PBS Channel Selection, fol-  
low the steps on page 19 to have the TV/VCR update the clock  
according to your Time Zone.  
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.

36 Setting Up the VCR Plus+ Programming System  
1
First, fill in the boxes on this page. It will only take a few minutes, and you must do it if you want the VCR  
Plus+ programming system to work properly.  
Since the channel numbers of the stations you receive may not be the same as the station numbers, and  
since channel numbers differ from area to area, you must program the TV/VCR with your local channel  
information. To fill in the boxes, you will need 1) a cable channel line-up list, if applicable (you can request  
one from your cable company), and 2) a chart that lists VCR Plus+ channel numbers, which you can find in  
your TV guide or the TV listings of your local newspaper.

52 Helpful Hints  
If you are having problems with your TV/VCR, check this list of problems and possible solutions before  
requesting service. You may be able to solve the problem yourself.  
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.  
Tim e Selection  
12 AM = Midnight  
12 PM = Noon  
Electrical Shock and Fire Hazards  
• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.  
• Do not pull the power cord when disconnecting the TV/VCR from the AC (alternating current) wall  
outlet. Grasp it by the plug.  
• If water is spilled on the TV/VCR, unplug the power cord immediately and take the TV/VCR to an  
authorized service center.  
• Do not put your fingers or objects into the TV/VCR cassette compartment.  
• Do not place anything on top of the TV/VCR.  
Dew W arning  
Moisture condensation may occur inside the unit when it is moved from a cold place to a warm place,  
after heating a cold room, or when the humidity is high. There is no warning that moisture has accu-  
mulated in your TV/VCR. But, if you try to play a tape in a TV/VCR in which moisture has accumulat-  
ed, the tape and the TV/VCR could be damaged. Therefore, if you try to play a tape and the tape is  
destroyed, and you think moisture may have accumulated inside the TV/VCR, keep the TV/VCR power  
on (but do not play a tape) for at least two hours. This will allow the TV/VCR to dry.
