Special functions on your video recorder
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 connect your video recorder to your television and plug it 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.
We guarantee that your video recorder will switch to the new millennium with
no problems whatsoever.
Recordings made on your video recorder can be controlled by an external
satellite receiver.
This function automatically transfers all the television channel settings onto
your video recorder.
Your video recorder can ascertain which channel is currently playing on your
television and record from it at the touch of a button.
Simple programming system for video recorders. Makes programming as easy
as making a telephone call. Simply enter the programme code which you will
find in your listings magazine.

1. HOW TO CONNECT YOUR VIDEO RECORDER
Important for the United Kingdom
How to connect your video recorder to the
TV set
This machine is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug.
To change a fuse in this type of plug, please follow these
instructions.
We recommend the use of a scart cable. This will give you the
best picture and sound quality.
a Take off the fuse cover and take out the fuse.
b Put in a new fuse which should be a BS1362 3A, A.S.T.A.
or BSI approved type.
c Refit the fuse cover.
When you install your video recorder for the first time, please
read:
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 3Amp 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.
E If your TV set has a scart socket and you are using a
scart cable, please read the section ’Connecting with a
scart cable’.
E The section ’Connecting without a scart cable’, if you are
DNote: Please destroy the plug you have cut off so
that it cannot be used in a 13 Amp socket

Connecting with a scart cable
How to connect a plug
The wires in the lead from the video recorder are coloured as
follows.
* Blue - ’neutral’ (’N’).
* Brown - ’live’ (’L’).
d Connect the blue wire to the terminal in the plug which is
marked with the letter ’N’ or coloured black.
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.
a Switch off the TV set.
b Remove the aerial cable plug from your TV set and insert
it into the 2 socket at the back of the video recorder.
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.
c Plug one end of the aerial cable provided into the
3
socket on the video recorder and the other end into the
aerial input socket on your TV set.
d Plug one end of the scart cable into the EXT.1 AV 1 scart
socket at the back of the video recorder and the other
end into the scart socket on your TV set (see instruction
manual TV set).
e Switch on the TV set.

e.g.: ’EXT’, ’0’, or ’AV’ automatically, select the
programme number for the video recorder manually
(see instruction manual TV set).
g When the TV has been tuned read the paragraph ’Initial
installation’ in the chapter ’INSTALLING YOUR VIDEO

Connecting a decoder or other equipment
YOUR VIDEO RECORDER’.

socket. For example: a decoder, a satellite receiver or a
camera recorder.
a Switch off the TV set.
b Remove the aerial cable plug from your TV set and insert
it into the 2 socket at the back of the video recorder.

on the video recorder. To eject a cassette, you can also
use the EJECT J button on the remote control
DThis video recorder will automatically recognise the
length of the tape.
DSome hired cassettes may have a poor picture or
poor sound quality. This is not a fault in your
machine. Please read ’Eliminating picture
interference’.
DWhen you put a cassette in the video recorder and
you want to see ’TIME LEFT’, the video recorder
must first calculate the time played. Therefore, ’-:--’
appears first and only after the tape has been
running for a few seconds the playing time will be
shown.
DSome functions switch off automatically after a
while (for example, pause, still picture, picture
search). This helps to protect the cassette and
avoids wasting power.
DIf the video recorder does not find a recording at a
certain tape position with ’LINEAR COUNTER’
switched on, the counter will stop.
Playing NTSC cassettes
With this set you can playback cassettes that have been
recorded on another video recorder in the NTSC standard (for
