Setting Up your DVD/VCR

Important for the United Kingdom

This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp

plug.To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 3A,ASTA or BSI

approved type.

3Refit 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 3A.

If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution

board should not be greater than 3A.

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')

The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is

marked with the letter 'N' or coloured BLACK.

5The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is

marked with the letter 'L' or coloured RED.

6Do 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.

The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible

shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket

elsewhere.

Basic Connections

• Please refer to the instruction books of your TV,VCR, Stereo

System or other devices as necessary to make the best con-

nections.

• Make one of the following connections, depending on the

capabilities of your existing equipment.

The following guidelines are options for the best picture and

sound quality available on your DVD/ VCR.

Picture

1Use SCART RGB Output (DVD/ VCR(AV1 TV)) for best pic-

ture quality (for DVD and VCR features).

2Use S-VIDEO Output for the better picture quality (for DVD

features only).

3Use SCART Composite Output for good picture quality (for

DVD and VCR features).

4If your TV only has a RF-style (Antenna IN or 75 ohm) input,

use the RF OUT for connection and set your TV to channel 22

~ 69 with the same channel for DVD/ VCR is set (for DVD and

VCR features).

Sound

Digital audio connections provide the clearest sound. Connect

the DVD/ VCR DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (either COAXIAL or

OPTICAL) to your amplifier or receiver (for DVD features only).

2Use SCART Output (DVD/ VCR(AV1 TV)) for better sound

quality (for DVD and VCR features).

If digital connections are not possible, connect the DVD/ VCR

ANALOG AUDIO OUT(Left and Right) to your amplifier,

receiver, stereo or TV (for DVD features only).

Warning!

– Never make or change connections with the power

switched on.

– Connect the DVD/ VCR directly to your TV, instead of eg.

a VCR, to avoid distortion because DVD video discs are

copy protected.

– Do not connect the ANALOG AUDIO OUT of DVD/ VCR

to PHONO IN of your amplifier or receiver.

– If you use the Euro audio/video cable, it is not necessary

to connect the analog audio cable.

Connecting to a TV

Connect the antenna or cable to the AERIAL of your DVD/

VCR.

2Connect the DVD/ VCR (AV1 TV) on the DVD/ VCR to the

corresponding connector on the TV.

Note:

– Ensure that the “TV” indication on SCART cable is con-

nected to the TV set and “DVD” indication on SCART

cable is connected to the DVD/ VCR.

If your TV is not equipped with a SCART input, you can select

the following connection:

If your TV has a S-Video input connector,

Connect the antenna or cable to the AERIAL of your DVD/ VCR.

2Connect the S-Video out on the DVD/ VCR to the S-Video in

on the TV.

3Connect the ANALOG AUDIO OUT on the DVD/ VCR to the

Left and Right audio in on the TV.

Note:

– You will still need the SCART cable or RF coaxial cable

for VCR features.

VCR Playback

DIGITAL STUDIO PICTURE CONTROL

Philips has developed a system which produces the best possible

playback quality. For old and often-used video cassettes, this sys-

tem reduces interference. For new or high quality cassettes, it

emphasises the details.

Picture/ sound quality is poor

When playing back rental videos or older, poorer quality cas-

settes, it may not be possible to completely filter out picture and

sound interference.This is not a fault in your machine. Read the

section 'Manual tracking'.

Do I need to change the playback speed when playing

back LP recordings?

During playback, the correct speed will automatically be selected.

For more information, please read the section 'Selecting the

recording speed (SP or LP)' in the chapter 'VCR Manual record-

ing'.

Playing back NTSC cassettes

This DVD/ VCR can also playback cassettes that have been

recorded in SP [Standard Play] or SLP [Super Long Play] mode

in the NTSC standard (for example,American cassettes).

However, this only works on PAL-television sets that are suit-

able for a picture frequency of 60Hz.

Displaying current tape position

The following information is displayed on the screen: e.g.:

0:02:45 shows the counter in hours, minutes and seconds.

SP/LP: will show the recorded speed of your cassette

“REM 0:06”: will show the remainning time left on the tape in

hours and minutes.

When you playback an NTSC cassette, the DVD/ VCR will

show “REM -:--”.

How can I set the counter to “0:00:00”?

You can set the counter to “0:00:00” with CLEAR.

When you put a cassette in the DVD/ VCR, the counter will auto-

matically reset to “0:00:00”.

The counter does not move

This occurs when there are no recordings on a portion of a tape.

This is not a fault in your DVD/ VCR.

The screen shows “-0:01:20”

If you rewind a cassette from the tape position “0:00:00”, the

counter will show for instance,“-0:01:20” (the cassette was

rewound to 1 minute and 20 seconds before “0:00:00”).

“-:--” is displayed in the 'REM' counter

This counter will automatically recognise the length of the tape. In

addition, when you put in a cassette the DVD/ VCR will first cal-

culate the time played.Therefore,“-:--” appears first and only after

the tape has been running for a few seconds, the correct remain-

ing time will be shown.

Playing back cassettes

You can operate the DVD/ VCR using the remote control or

the buttons on the front of the DVD/ VCR. If you press PLAY

B,STOP C,hor gwhile the set is in Stand-by, the

power will be automatically turned on.Additionally, if a cassette

was already inserted, the corresponding operation will be per-

formed.

ty.The sound is switched off.This is not a fault in your DVD/

VCR.

the tape.These marked positions can be found again quickly

and easily later.

1To search for the previous marking, press INDEX 3and then

h.'Fr' will appear on the display for 5 seconds, and then, the

eight recordings within a period of one year.To make a pro-

grammed recording, your DVD/ VCR 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

* VPS or PDC on or off

This information is saved in a TIMER block.

What is 'VPS/PDC'?

'VPS' (Video Programming System)/ 'PDC' (Programme Delivery

Control) are used to control the start and duration of TV channel

recordings. If a TV programme starts earlier or ends later than

scheduled, the DVD/ VCR will turn on and off at the correct time.

What do I need to know about 'VPS/PDC'?

Usually the VPS or PDC time is the same as the start time. But if

your TV guide shows a VPS or PDC time which is different from

the programme’s scheduled start time, e.g. 20.10 (VPS/PDC

20.14), you must enter the VPS/PDC time exact to the minute. If

you want a start time different from the VPS/PDC time, you must

switch VPS/PDC off.

Programming a recording

(with the 'VIDEO Plus+ system')

You no longer need to tediously enter the date, programme

number, start and end time. All the information needed for pro-

gramming is contained in the Plus Code programming number.

You can find this Plus Code programming number in most TV

listing magazines written next to the concerned programme.

1Press SV/V+.

2Enter the entire Plus Code number.This number is up to 9 dig-

its long and can be found next to the start time of the TV pro-

gramme in your TV listing magazine. [e.g: 1-234-5 or 1 234 5]

If you make a mistake, you can clear your input with CLEAR.

3Press SV/V+.

4Select “ONCE”,“DAILY”, or “WEEKLY” recording with K/L.

Then press B.

5The decoded data appears after confirmation.You can go back

to change the data. Select the corresponding input field using
