Safety Precautions

Warning: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this

equipment to rain or moisture.

FCC Warning: Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this

equipment void the user’s authority to operate it.

This TV/VCR, equipped with a High Quality (HQ) system, is com-

patible with existing Video Home System (VHS) 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 installer’s 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 manual clock setting, you tell the TV/VCR the current time.

With Automatic or Manual PBS Channel Selection, the TV/VCR

PBS Channel Selection or Automatic PBS Channel Selection, fol-

low the steps on page 19 to have the TV/VCR maintain 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.

Before you begin, make sure:

● The TV/VCR is hooked up and turned on.

● Channels are set up.

● You make each entry within 60 seconds of the previous entry.

38 Closed Caption

When you watch a program that is being broadcast with closed

captions, you can access on-screen boxes containing the pro-

gram’s dialogue (for example, what a character is saying), dialogue

in a foreign language, or information (such as a channel guide,

schedule, or announcements). Follow the steps below to select

closed captions.

Not all TV programs and commercials are broadcast with closed

captions. Similarly, all types of closed captions (second language,

half-screen text, etc.) are not always broadcast. If closed caption-

ing is not broadcast, you cannot receive it. This does not indicate

a problem with the TV/VCR. Refer to your area’s TV program

Automatic Operation Features 45

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 tape’s 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 a tape is played, fast forwarded, or recorded 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 will only

rewind the tape to the point at which the counter was set to

zero, then stop. The TV/VCR will not turn itself off or eject the

tape.

Mem ory Rewind, Power O ff

When the POWER button is pressed while the TV/VCR is rewind-

ing a tape, REW → POWER OFF will appear on-screen. The

TV/VCR will turn itself off when the tape has finished rewinding.

If a real-time counter memory is set, the TV/VCR may only

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

TV/VCR must be plugged in). If a timer recording is programmed,

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

The TV/VCR automatically adjusts the tracking to give you the

best possible picture quality. With some recordings, however,

you may get a better picture using the manual tracking controls

(see below).

Manual Tracking

To adjust the tracking manually, press the CHANNEL o/p but-

tons on the TV/VCR or the TRACKING o/p buttons on the

remote control.

reset itself automatically if you are using the AUTO CLOCK feature. Details are on pages 14 - 17. If you

are not using the AUTO CLOCK feature, reset the clock manually. Details are on pages 12 - 13.) The

timer recording will not occur only if the timer recording was scheduled to take place during the power

failure.
