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.

This electronic device contains many materials which can be recycled.

Please enquire about the possibilities for recycling your old set.

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.

Philips has developed a system which makes it possible for you to get the best possible playback quality

from video cassettes. Interference on old, often-played tapes is minimised, and in new or high quality

cassettes, details are even clearer.

The precision mechanism developed by Philips guarantees short rewind times and, by automatically

detecting the length of the tape, makes operation as easy as possible for the user.

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.

Using the enclosed multi-code remote control you can, if you wish, control the main functions of your

TV set - even if your TV is not made by Philips.

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.

..............................

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.

Operating instructions

General information

If the video recorder is in standby mode, it can be switched on either by pressing

Switching on

0-9

or by inserting

the Standby button , by pressing one of the number buttons

a cassette.

If the video recorder is not used for several minutes, it switches itself off

automatically.This function can be deactivated (e.g. if you want to use the video

recorder as aTV receiver).You can find out more about this in the chapter“Other

functions” (“Adjusting automatic switch off”).

Automatic switch-off

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 3 hours.

Selecting the recording speed

You have the option of two playback and recording

speeds: Standard Play (SP) offers the usual first-class

picture quality, and with Long Play (LP) you can for

example (with somewhat reduced picture quality)

record about 360 minutes on a 180-minute cassette.

In Auto Long Play (AL), the video recorder recognises

how much remaining playing time is available and

automatically selects SP or LP. The previous chapter

explains how to set the desired recording speed

(“Selecting the recording speed”)

What is erase protection?

VHS cassettes can be protected from over-recording by

breaking off a thin strip of plastic (arrow). This erase

protection can be overridden by sticking one or more

Adapting remote control

If you are using two video recorders which both react to the same

remote control codes, you can use this function to change remote

control and video recorder to other codes.

What are remote control codes?

Each time the button on your remote control is

pressed, an invisible infra-red signal is sent to the video

recorder. Each button has been allocated a specific

code, which ensures, that the video recorder will carry

out the corresponding function. If two video recorders

respond to the same codes, the remote control signal

emitted will be recognised and performed by both.

Therefore the possibility exists, to allocate different

remote control commands (with other codes) to this

video recorder.This means that the uninterrupted use

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 a TV channel.

Result: As soon as the video recorder is switched on, the

reception quality of the TV 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

these signals are transmitted.

TIP

1 Switch the video recorder on and make sure

there is no cassette in the video recorder

STOP

2 Press at the same time the

button

STOP/EJECT

on the remote control and the

button

on the front of the video

recorder until the modulator frequency of

the set appears in the display (e.g.: “M583”

for 583 MHz)

Switching off the modulator

If you have connected the video recorder to theTV set

with a scart cable, you can switch off the modulator

when there is interference with the picture or sound

(see below).

FOR

EXPERTS

Switching the modulator on / off

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.
