Safety Precautions
W arning: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose
this equipm ent to rain or m oisture.
FCC W arning: Any unauthorized changes or m odifications
to this equipm ent void the user’s authority to operate it.
This VCR, equipped with a HQ (High Quality) system, is compati-
ble with existing VHS (video home system) equipment.
Philips Consumer Electronics Company recommends that you use
only video cassette tapes that have been tested and inspected for
use in two, four, six, and eight hour VCRs, and which are labeled
with the
mark. The use of tapes that have not been inspected
for use in two, four, six, and eight hour VCRs may result in poor
picture quality and excessive deposits on the video heads, which
may not be covered by the warranty if damage occurs.
Note to the Cable TV System Installer: This reminder is
provided to call the Cable TV system installer’s attention to
Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code, which provides
guidelines for proper grounding – in particular, specifying that the
cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the
building, as close to the point of cable entry as possible.
Helpful Hint
• Before doing anything else, record
the VCR’s model and serial numbers
in the spaces provided on page two.
These numbers will help us assist
you if you ever call for help.

34 Setting Up the VCR Plus+ Programming System
1
First, fill in the boxes on this page. It will only take a few minutes, and you must do it if you want the VCR
Plus+ programming system to work properly.
Since the channel numbers of the stations you receive may not be the same as the station numbers, and
since channel numbers differ from area to area, you must program the VCR with your local channel infor-
mation. To fill in the boxes, you will need 1) a cable channel line-up list, if applicable (you can request one
from your cable company), and 2) a chart that lists VCR Plus+ channel numbers, which you can find in your
TV guide or the TV listings of your local newspaper.

Automatic Operation Features 43
Autom atic Playback
When you put a tape in the VCR, the power will come on auto-
matically. If the tape’s record tab is missing, playback will begin.
If a timer recording is set, the power will not come on automati-
cally when you insert a tape with the record tab intact.
If a timer recording is set and the VCR power is off, the VCR will
eject the tape if the record tab is missing.
Autom atic Rewind, Eject, O ff
When a tape is played, fast forwarded, or recorded to its end, the
VCR will rewind the tape, go into the Stop mode, eject the tape,
then turn itself off.
If the real time counter memory is set, the VCR will only rewind
to the point at which the counter is set to zero, then stop. The
VCR will not eject the tape automatically or shut itself off.
If the end of the tape is reached during an OTR or timer record-
ing, recording will stop. Then, the VCR will eject the tape and turn
itself off. The VCR will not rewind the tape.
Tape Eject
A tape can be ejected with the VCR power on or off (but the
VCR must be plugged in). If a Timer Recording is programmed, a
tape can only be ejected with the power on. Make sure you insert
a tape and turn off the power for the Timer Recording.
Autom atic Tracking Adjustm ent
The VCR continually adjusts tracking automatically to give you the
best possible picture quality. With some recordings, however, you
may get a better picture using the manual tracking controls (see
below).
Manual Tracking
To adjust the tracking manually, press the CHANNEL (Up/Down)
buttons on the VCR during tape playback.
NOTES:
• This function is controlled only by the buttons on the VCR. The
CHANNEL (Up/Down) buttons on the remote control will not adjust
tracking.
• To return tracking to the position it was in when the VCR was
shipped from the factory, press the CHANNEL (Up) and CHANNEL
(Down) buttons on the VCR at the same time.
• Tracking is returned to auto tracking when a tape is inserted, or
when the STOP button is pressed to halt playback.
• When the VCR is in Slow mode, auto tracking will not work. Instead,
use the CHANNEL (Up/Down) buttons on the VCR to reduce noise
lines in slow motion playback.
• Manual tracking will not operate when the VCR is in Still mode. If
you want to reduce noise lines in a still picture, place the VCR in Slow
mode. Use the CHANNEL (Up/Down) buttons on the VCR to
remove the noise lines. Then return to Still mode.

44 Multi-Channel Television Sound System
Your VCR can play recordings broadcast in Hi-Fi (high fidelity) stereo, which produces a crisp, clear sound
from two sources. Your VCR also can play tapes recorded in a second audio (usually, that means your
program is recorded in a second language). Of course, your VCR will play tapes recorded in monaural
(single-source) sound as well.
Your VCR also will record in Hi-Fi stereo or in second audio, so when you play back that tape on the
VCR, it will be in stereo or second audio. If you play back the tape on a VCR that can’t play back tapes in
stereo or second audio, the VCR will automatically play the tape in monaural sound.
Read the directions on this page to familiarize yourself with your VCR’s stereo and second audio setups.
Then follow the directions on page 45 to record in stereo or second audio and the directions on pages 46-
47 to play back tapes recorded in Hi-Fi stereo.
Understanding O n-Screen Displays
When you receive a signal from a channel you’re watching, portions of the on-screen display shown below
will appear when you press the STATUS/EXIT button on the remote control.
The indication 2ND AUD or TV
STEREO that appears on this side of
the status display tells you if your
VCR is programmed to receive a sec-
ond audio or stereo broadcast (it can-
not be programmed to receive both
at the same time).
The indication 2ND AUD or STEREO
that appears on this side of the status
display tells you if the program you’re
watching is available in second audio
or stereo.

If you are having problems with your VCR, check the following list of problems and possible solutions
before requesting service. You may be able to solve the problem yourself.
No power
• Make sure the power plug is completely connected to an AC (alternating current) outlet.
• Make sure the power is turned on.
Power Failure
• Timer recordings and the clock setting may be lost if the power fails for more than one minute. See page
15 to reset your clock. See pages 30-37 to reprogram your timer recordings.
A TV program cannot be recorded.
• Check the connections between the VCR, TV, antenna/cable, and Cable Box/Digital Satellite System (if
applicable) (pages six-10).
• Make sure the tape has a record tab (page five).
• Check the TV/VCR position (page 24).
• Check the CH3/CH4 switch (pages six-nine).
The VCR will not perform a tim er recording.
• Make sure the recording start and stop times are set correctly (pages 30-37).
• Make sure a tape is in the VCR and the tape has a record tab (page five). If, after programming a timer
recording, you turn off the VCR power without putting a tape in the VCR, the Timer light will blink.
• If the record tab on a tape is missing, the VCR will eject the tape. The Timer light will blink.
• Make sure the VCR power is off.
• Make sure the clock is set (page 15).
• The VCR may not perform or continue a timer recording if a power interruption of more than one
minute occurs during the timer recording, even if the power comes back on afterward.
• If you have a Cable Box, timer recordings are programmed differently. (See page eight for details.)
• It is best to finish programming a timer recording at least five minutes before the recording is scheduled
to begin.
• 12 PM is noon; 12 AM is midnight.
The VCR did not record the com plete O TR or tim er recording.
• The end of the tape was reached before the end of the recording. The VCR will eject the tape and turn
itself off.
Satellite Hookups
• Watching one TV channel while recording another may not be possible if you have a satellite hookup.
You may have to set your TV to channel 3 or 4, then make your channel selections at the satellite con-
verter box.
• With many satellite hookups, if you use accessory audio and video cables to connect your VCR to your
TV, you will have to put your VCR in Line Input mode. To enter Line Input mode, press 0, 0 on the
VCR’s remote control. A/V IN will appear on your TV screen briefly.
Line Input m ode
• If you accidentally enter Line Input mode (A/V IN will appear on your TV screen briefly), press the
CHANNEL (Up/Down) buttons or use the Number buttons to select another channel.
Daylight-Saving Tim e
• When automatic Daylight-Saving Time is set, the clock time will change automatically as follows: on the
first Sunday in April, from 2 AM to 3 AM; on the last Sunday in October, from 2 AM to 1 AM.
• During the April time change, a timer recording programmed to start between 2 AM and 3 AM will not
record. A timer recording programmed to end between 2 AM and 3 AM will end when the clock moves
forward (2 AM).
• During the October time change, a recording cannot be started between the second 1 AM and 1:59 AM.
The m otor (cylinder) rotates even when the VCR is in Stop m ode.
• To enable the quick play mechanism, the cylinder will rotate for about five minutes. This is normal.
