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 broad-  
cast 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.

Although the remote control that  
comes with your TV/VCR will work  
most Cable Boxes and DBSs, it is  
possible that the remote control will  
not operate your Cable Box or DBS.  
The remote control may only operate  
some features of your Cable Box or  
DBS. For example, some Cable Boxes  
may only be turned on at the Cable  
Box. Therefore, the remote control  
will not turn on the Cable Box.  
Press the CABLE/DBS button before  
pressing any buttons to operate the  
Cable Box/DBS.  
If you had to program the remote  
control to operate your Cable Box or  
DBS here, whenever you replace the  
batteries in the remote control, you  
will have to program the remote con-  
trol again. Write down the code you  
used for future reference.  
There is no guarantee  
that the rem ote control  
will work your Cable  
Box or DBS.

38 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.  
NO TE: If you are using a Cable Box/DBS, the Cable/TV channel m ust be 03 or 04 (the Cable  
Box/DBS output channel) for every VCR Plus+ channel.

tions.  
Not all TV programs and commercials have closed captions.

broadcast, you cannot receive it. This does not indicate a prob-  
lem with the TV/VCR. Refer to your areas TV program listings

Automatic Operation Features 57  
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.

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.

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.

let. Grasp it by the plug.  
If you spill water on the TV/VCR, unplug the power cord immediately and take the TV/VCR to an autho-  
rized service center.  
Do not put your fingers or objects into the TV/VCR cassette compartment.

recordings will be restored when the clock is reset. (The clock will reset itself automatically if you are  
using AUTO CLOCK. Details are on pages 14-17. If you are not using AUTO CLOCK, reset the clock  
manually. Details are on pages 12-13.) The timer recording will not occur only if it was scheduled to take  
place during the power failure.
