Thank you for buying a Philips TV-Video combi. This TV-Video combi is one of the most sophisti- cated and easy-to-use TV-Video combi on the market. Please take the time to read this operat- ing manual before using your TV-Video combi. It contains important information and notes regard- ing operation. The TV-Video combi should not be turned on immediately after transporta- tion from a cold to a hot area or vice versa, or in conditions of extreme humidity. Wait at least three hours after transporting the device. The TV-Video combi needs this time in order to become acclimatised to its new environment (temperature, air humidity, etc.).

1. Connecting the TV-Video Combi

Important for the United Kingdom

This apparatus is fitted with an approved 5 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as fol- lows:

1.Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2.Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A,ASTA or BSI approved type.

3.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.

The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.

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')

4.The BLUE wire must be connected to the ter- minal which is marked with the letter 'N' or coloured BLACK.

5.The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter 'L' or coloured RED.

6.Do not connect either wires to the earth ter- minal 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.

1.Take the remote control and the enclosed batteries (2 batteries).

2.Open the remote control's battery compart- ment and place the batteries in it as shown in the picture and close the battery compart- ment.

The remote control is now ready to use.

Its range is approximately 7 metres.

Connecting the cable

1.Insert the aerial cable plug into the AERIAL at the back of the TV-Video Combi.

2.Connect the mains cable to the wall socket. 3.If the little red standby light (STANDBY ) at the front panel of the set is not lit, please

switch on the set using the main power switch. The power switch is located on the left side panel of the set.

DIGITAL STUDIO PICTURE CONTROL

Philips has developed a system which produces the best possible playback quality. For old and often-used video cassettes, this system reduces interference. For new or high quality cassettes, it emphasises the details.

Picture/ sound quality is poor

General information

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- ly, read the section 'Recording without auto- matic switch-off'.

If you want to start a recording manually but have it stopped automatically, read the section

Preventing accidental erasing of cassettes

All cassettes (except for rental and pre-recorded purchased cassettes) have a security tab on the back of the cassette.

To prevent recording

over important record- ings (erasing), you can remove this security tab.

If you later decide to

record on a protected cassette, simply cover the hole with adhesive tape.

Lining up recordings (assemble cut)

When you add a further recording to a cassette, which already has a recording on it, a short blank (flicker) can appear between the old and the new recording or the picture itself can flicker. To help reduce these from occurring, proceed as follows:

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

2.Look at the last minute of the old recording (playback).

3.Press STILL 2 at the tape position where the new recording is to go and press

.

4.Now start recording as usual by pressing on the remote control.

5.Stop recording with L C .

Selecting the recording speed (SP or LP)

LP allows to double the recording duration on tape (for example six hours instead of three hours on a

E180 cassette).

1.Press MENU . The main menu will appear.

END=EXIT

3.Select the required recording speed with

B 1 .

4.To end, press STATUS/EXIT .

'SP'/'LP'

'SP': StandardPlay (normal recording speed) offers the usual first-class picture quality. 'LP': LongPlay (half recording speed, double

recording time). 6 hours can be recorded on a 3- hour cassette (E180) with a somewhat reduced picture quality.

7. Programming a recording (TIMER)

General information

Use a TIMER programming to automatically start and stop a recording at a later time or date. The TV-Video Combi will switch to the right pro- gramme number and begin recording at the cor- rect time. With this TV-Video Combi, you can pre- programme up to eight recordings within a peri- od of one year. To make a programmed record- ing, your TV-Video Combi needs to know:

*the date you want to make the recording *the programme number of the TV channel *the start and stop time of the recording *PDC on or off (14PV203/07, 14PV460/07)

This information is saved in a TIMER block.

<14PV203/07, 14PV460/07> What is 'PDC'?

'PDC' (Programme Delivery Control) is used to control the start and duration of TV channel recordings. If a TV programme starts earlier or ends later than scheduled, the TV-Video Combi will turn on and off at the correct time.

What do I need to know about 'PDC'?

Usually the PDC time is the same as the start time. But if your TV guide shows a PDC time which is different from the programme???s sched- uled start time, e.g. 20.10 (PDC 20.14), you must enter the PDC time exact to the minute. If you want a start time different from the PDC time, you must switch PDC off.
