Crystal Clear video has become the synonym for outstanding picture quality  
combining Philips’ very latest technologies: Natural Colour, Studio Tracking  
System, Digital Studio Picture Control and laser-cut video heads.  
Philips has developed a system which produces the best possible playback  
quality. It reduces disturbance on old, worn video cassettes, and emphasises  
the detail on very good quality cassettes.  
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. This prevents a sudden increase of the volume, for  
example, during commercials.  
Simple programming system for TV-VIDEO Combis. Makes programming as easy  
as making a telephone call. Simply enter the programme code which you will  
find in your listings magazine.  
The precision tape drive from Philips with a rewind time of 100 seconds (E180)  
and automatic tape length recognition.  
Your TV-VIDEO Combi has been equiped with two tuners. This enables you to  
watch a programme while you are recording another programme.

1. CONNECTING YOUR TV-VIDEO COMBI  
Important for the United Kingdom  
Connecting the cables  
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp  
plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:  
a Remove fuse cover and fuse.  
b Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A, A.S.T.A. or  
BSI approved type.  
c Refit the fuse cover.  
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should  
be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.  
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of  
5A. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution  
board should not be greater than 5A.  
a Insert the aerial plug into the 2 socket.  
DNote: * The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a  
possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A  
socket elsewhere.  
b Insert the plug of the mains cable into the wall socket.  
c If the little red light at the front panel of the set is not lit,  
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 mains lead are coloured in accordance with  
the following code:  
BLUE - ’NEUTRAL’ (’N’)  
BROWN - ’LIVE’ (’L’)  
Connecting a decoder or other equipment  
d The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which  
You can also connect additional equipment to the EXT. 1  
socket. For instance, a satellite receiver, decoder or  
camcorder.  
is marked with the letter ’N’ or coloured BLACK.  
e The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal  
which is marked with the letter ’L’ or coloured RED.  
f Do not connect either wires to the earth terminal in the  
plug which is marked with the letter ’E’ or by the safety  
earth symbol \or coloured green or green-and-yellow.  
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord  
grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not imply over the  
two wires.

Important notes for operation  
E We suggest that, from now on, you switch off your  
TV-VIDEO Combi with the STANDBY m button on the front  
of the set or on the remote control.  
When the set is in the standby mode, a small red lamp at  
the front of the set will be alight.  
E You can switch on with the P p or z button, the  
0-9 buttons or by inserting a cassette.  
AAttention: If you use the power switch 8 on the side  
panel, you switch off the set completely from the mains  
power supply. No programmed recordings will then be  
made. The red lamp at the front of the set will not be  
alight. After some time, the date and clock settings will be  
lost.  
We advice you to keep your TV-VIDEO Combi connected  
to the mains at all times to ensure that programmed  
recordings can be made and that the television works  
normally. The power consumption will be low.  
E Attention: If you switch off the appliance with the power  
switch 8 , make sure that you have removed the tape  
by pressing the ? button.

7. PROGRAMMED RECORDING (TIMER)  
Use programmed recording to automatically start and stop a  
recording at a later date.  
Programming a recording (with ’VIDEO  
Plus+’)  
To make a programmed recording, your TV-VIDEO Combi  
needs to know:  
All the information required for a programming is contained in  
the PlusCode programming number.  
* 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 s button on the remote control.  
The TV-VIDEO Combi stores all the information in a TIMER  
block. You can programme up to 6 TIMER blocks a month in  
advance.  
b Select the line ’VIDEOPlus’ with the BP r or  
AP q button and confirm with the SqC button.  
’VPS’ (Video Programming System) and  
’PDC’ (Programme Delivery Control)  
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.  
For example, 5-234-89 or 5 234 89  
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.  
Enter 523489 for the PlusCode programming number.  
If you make a mistake, you can clear your instructions  
with the CLEAR button.  
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.  
If you want to programme a time that is different from the VPS  
or PDC time, you must switch off VPS or PDC.
