When you have plugged your TV-VIDEO Combi into the mains, you will be
welcomed with an OSD picture. All you have to do is follow the instructions in
the "intelligent help line" for the next step. Enjoy the Automatic TV channel
search/save function and the automatic time adjustment.
Automatic Volume Leveller. It minimises sudden changes in TV volume when
commercial spots are transmitted.
We guarantee that your TV-VIDEO Combi will switch to the new millennium with
no problems whatsoever.
Simple programming system for TV-VIDEO Combis. Makes programming as easy
as making a telephone call. Simply enter the programme code which you will

1. CONNECTING YOUR TV-VIDEO COMBI
Important for the United Kingdom
Connecting the cables
This machine is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug.
To change a fuse in this type of plug, please follow these
instructions.
a Take off the fuse cover and take out the fuse.
b Put in a new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A, A.S.T.A.
or BSI approved type.
c Refit the fuse cover.
If the plug fitted is not suitable for your socket, cut it off and fit
another type.
If the plug you fit contains a fuse, it should be a 5Amp fuse. If
you fit a plug which does not need a fuse, make sure the fuse
on your fuse box is not greater than 5 Amps.
a Insert the aerial plug into the 2 socket.
b Insert the plug of the mains cable into the wall socket.
DNote: Please destroy the plug you have cut off so that it
cannot be used in a 13 Amp socket somewhere else.
c If the little red light at the front of the set is not alight,
please switch on the set. The power switch 8 is
located on the left side panel of the set.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the lead from the video recorder are coloured as
follows.

e Connect the brown wire to the terminal in the plug which
is marked with the letter ’L’ or coloured red.
f Do not connect either of the wires to the terminal in the
plug which is marked with the letter ’E’, the symbol \or
coloured green or green and yellow.
Before you refit the plug cover, make sure that the grip at the
bottom of the plug is clamped over the plastic cover of the
lead, not just over the two wires.

7. PROGRAMMED RECORDING (TIMER)
Use programmed recording to automatically start and stop a
recording at a later date.
Programming a recording (with ’VIDEOplus’)
All the information required for a programming is contained in
the PlusCode-programming number.
To make a programmed recording, your TV-VIDEO Combi
needs to know:
* the date you want to make the recording;
* the programme number for the TV channel you want to
record;
* the start and stop time of the recording;
* whether you want to use VPS or PDC;
* the recording speed (SP/LP).
a Press the TIMER k button on the remote control.
b Select the line ’Videoplus’ with the buttons
The TV-VIDEO Combi stores all the information in a TIMER
block. You can programme up to 6 TIMER blocks a month in
advance.
AP q or P rB and confirm with the SqC button.
c Enter the entire PlusCode-programming number (up to 9
digits) printed in your TV guide next to the start time of a
TV programme.
’VPS’ (Video Programming System) and
’PDC’ (Programme Delivery Control)
For example, 5-234-89 or 5 234 89
Enter 523489 for the PlusCode-programming number.
If you make a mistake, you can clear your instructions
with the CLEAR button.
With ’VPS and PDC’, the TV station controls the start time and
the length of the recording. This means that the TV-VIDEO
Combi switches itself on and off at the right time even if a TV
programme you want to record begins earlier or finishes later
than expected.
Usually the start time is the same as the VPS or PDC time. But
if your TV guide gives a VPS or PDC time which is different to
the programme’s start time (for example, 20.15 and VPS 20.14),
you must enter ’20.14’ as the start time.
