Thank you for buying a Philips TV-Video combi. This TV-Video combi is one of the most sophisticat-
ed and easy-to-use TV-Video combi on the market. Please take the time to read this operating manu-
al before using your TV-Video combi. It contains important information and notes regarding operation.
The TV-Video combi 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 transport-
ing the device. The TV-Video combi needs this time in order to become acclimatised to its new envi-
ronment (temperature, air humidity, etc.).
This TV-Video combi is used for the recording and playback of VHS videocassettes.
Cassettes with the VHS-C label (VHS cassettes for camcorders) may only be used
with a suitable adapter.
PAL
We hope you enjoy your new TV-Video combi.
These operating instructions have been
printed on non-polluting paper.

Preparation for use
Decoder allocation
This chapter shows you how to prepare your TV-
Video Combi for use. The TV-Video Combi auto-
matically seeks out and stores all available TV
channels.
Some TV channels transmit encoded TV signals
which can only be viewed with a commercially
purchased or hired decoder without distur-
bances. You can connect such a decoder to this
TV-Video Combi. The following function will auto-
matically activate the connected decoder for the
desired TV channel.
Connecting additional devices
After you have connected additional devices
(satellite receiver, etc.) through the aerial cable,
switch them on. The automatic channel search
will recognise them and save them.

To help reduce these from occurring, proceed as
follows:
Use 'Manual Recording' to make a sponta-
neous recording (for example, a programme cur-
rently being shown).
If you want to start and stop a recording manual-

1.Find the tape position of the old recording
where you want to insert the new recording.
