OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
Thank you for buying a Philips video recorder.  
This video recorder is one of the most sophisti-  
cated and easy-to-use video recorders (VCR) on  
the market. Please take the time to read this  
operating manual before using your video  
recorder. It contains important information and  
notes regarding operation. The video recorder  
should not be turned on immediately after  
transportation from a cold to a hot area or vice  
versa, or in conditions of extreme humidity. Wait  
at least three hours after transporting the  
device. The video recorder needs this time in  
order to become acclimatised to its new environ-  
ment (temperature, air humidity, etc.).  
These operating instructions have been  
printed on non-polluting paper.  
Deposit old batteries at the appropriate col-  
lection points.  
Please make use of the facilities available in  
your country for disposing of the packaging  
of the video recorder in a way that helps to  
protect the environment.  
This electronic device contains many mate-  
rials that can be recycled. Please enquire  
about the possibilities for recycling your old  
device.

We recommend that you use a scart cable to  
connect your TV and video recorder.  
The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possi-  
ble shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A  
socket alsewhere.  
What is a scart cable?  
The scart or Euro AV cable serves as the uni-  
versal connector for picture, sound and control  
signals. With this type of connection, there is  
practically no loss of quality during the picture  
or sound transfer.  
How to connect a plug:  
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accor-  
dance with the following code:  
BLUE- 'NEUTRAL' ('N')  
BROWN- 'LIVE' ('L')  
4.The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal  
which is marked with the letter 'N' or coloured  
BLACK.  
5.The BROWN wire must be connected to the termi-  
nal which is marked with the letter 'L' or coloured  
RED.  
6.Do not connect either wires to the earth terminai in  
the plug which is marked with the letter 'E' or by  
the safety earth symbol  
green-and-yellow.  
Connecting with a scart cable  
Have the following cables ready:  
an aerial cable (1, supplied), a

Playing cassettes  
Playing back NTSC cassettes  
You can use this video recorder to play back  
recorded VHS videocassettes. You can operate  
the video recorder using the remote control or  
the buttons on the front of the video recorder.  
Your video recorder can only record and play  
standard VHS cassettes.  
Cassettes that have been recorded in the NTSC  
standard (for example, American cassettes) can  
be played back using this video recorder.  
However, this only works on PAL-television sets  
that are suitable for a picture frequency of 60Hz.  
1.Put a cassette into the cassette slot. The cas-

The following information is displayed on the  
screen: e.g.: 0:02:45 shows the counter in hours,  
minutes and seconds.  
SP/LP: will show the recorded speed of your  
cassette  
'REM 0:06': will show the actual amount of play-  
ing/recording time left on the tape in hours and  
minutes.  
When you play an NTSC cassette, the video  
recorder will show 'REM -:--'.  
DIGITAL STUDIO PICTURE CONTROL  
Philips has developed a system which produces  
the best possible playback quality. For old and  
often-used video cassettes, this system reduces  
interference. For new or high quality cassettes,  
it emphasises the details.  
Picture/ sound quality is poor  
When playing rental videos or older, poorer  
quality cassettes, it may not be possible to com-  
pletely filter out picture and sound interference.  
This is not a fault in your machine. Read the  
section 'Manual tracking'.  
How can I set the counter to '0:00:00'?  
You can set the counter to '0:00:00' with  
CLEAR

When you put a cassette in the video recorder,  
the counter will automatically reset to '0:00:00'.

This occurs when there are no recordings on a  
portion of a tape. This is not a fault in your  
video recorder.  
Automatic switch-off of special functions  
Many functions (e.g. pause, still picture) switch  
themselves off automatically after a short time  
in order to protect the cassette and to save  
energy.  
The screen shows '-0:01:20'  
If you rewind a cassette from the tape position  
'0:00:00', the counter will show for instance,  
'-0:01:20' (the cassette was rewound to 1  
minute and 20 seconds before '0:00:00').  
'-:--' is displayed in the 'REM' counter  
This counter will automatically recognise the  
length of the tape. In addition, when you put in  
a cassette the video recorder must first calcu-  
late the time played. Therefore, '-:--' appears  
first and only after the tape has been running  
for a few seconds, the correct playing time will  
be shown.  
Do I need to change the playback speed  
when playing back LP recordings?  
During playback, the correct speed will auto-  
matically be selected. For more information,  
please read the section 'Selecting the recording  
speed (SP or LP)' in the chapter 'Manual  
recording'.

5. Manual recording  
General information  
Preventing accidental erasing of  
cassettes  
Use 'Manual Recording' to make a sponta-  
neous recording (for example, a programme cur-  
rently being shown).  
All cassettes (except for  
rental and store cas-  
settes) have a security  
tab on the back of the  
cassette.  
If you want to start and stop a recording manual-  
ly, read the section 'Recording without auto-  
matic switch-off'.  
To prevent recording  
over important recordings (erasing), you can  
remove this security tab.  
If you later decide to record on a protected cas-  
sette, simply cover the hole with adhesive tape  
or slide the tab to the right.  
If you want to start a recording manually but  
have it stopped automatically, read the section  
'Recording with automatic switch-off'. (e.g.  
not to record to the end of the tape)  
Read the section 'Direct record' if you want to  
record a programme currently being shown.  
Lining up recordings (assemble cut)  
Recording without automatic  
switch-off  
When you add a further recording to a cassette,  
which already has a recording on it, a short  
blank (flicker) can appear between the old and  
the new recording or the picture itself can flicker.  
To help reduce these from occurring, proceed as  
follows:  
1.Find the tape position of the old recording  
where you want to insert the new recording.  
2.Look at the last minute of the old recording  
(playback).

'Direct Record'  
With Direct Record, you can record the right TV  
channel in seconds even if your video recorder is  
switched off. If the recording is started manually,  
the video recorder uses the current TV channel  
set on the TV. You will find more information on  
how to switch 'Direct Record' on or off in the next  
section. Make sure that your video recorder  
socket (AV1/TV) and the TV are connected by a  
scart cable.  
LP allows to double the recording duration on tape  
(for example six hours instead of three hours on an  
E180 cassette).

The video recorder compares the TV channel  
selected on the TV set with its stored TV channels  
via the scart cable. If the same TV channel is  
found, it switches the video recorder to the corre-  
sponding programme number and starts recording.  
Please do not change the TV channel on the TV  
set during the search so as not to affect the  
process.

What is 'VPS/PDC'?  
'VPS' (Video Programming System)/ 'PDC'  
(Programme Delivery Control) are used to con-  
trol the start and duration of TV channel record-

later than scheduled, the video recorder will  
turn on and off at the correct time.

What do I need to know about 'VPS/PDC'?  
Usually the VPS or PDC time is the same than  
the start time. But if your TV guide shows a  
VPS or PDC time which is different from the  
programme’s scheduled start time, e.g. 20.10  
(VPS/PDC 20.14), you must enter the VPS/PDC  
time exact to the minute. If you want a start time  
different from the VPS/PDC time, you must  
switch VPS/PDC off.
