OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS PHILIPS 14PV182/05

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 5A, A.S.T.A. 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
5A. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the
distribution board should not be greater than 5A.
Note: * 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’)
1The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which
is marked with the letter ’N’ or coloured BLACK.
2The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter ’L’ or coloured RED.
3Do 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 simply over
the two wires.
Connecting the cables
1Insert the aerial plug into the 2socket.
If you use the auxiliary aerial supplied, push the aerial into
the mounting on the back panel until it snaps into place.
Pull out the telescopic rod(s) as far as required. Tilt and
rotate the aerial until you have got the best picture quality.
2Insert the plug of the mains cable into the wall socket.
3Switch the set on. The power switch mis located on
the left side panel of the set.
Important notes for operation
•We advise you, from now on, to switch the set to standby
using the STANDBY mbutton on the front of the set or

•When the set is in the standby mode, a small red lamp on
the left of the front of the set will be alight.
•You can switch on with the STOP hbutton, the
0-9 buttons or by inserting a cassette.
•Attention: When you use the power switch mon the
side panel, you have completely switched off the set from
the mains power supply. No programmed recordings will
then be made. The red lamp on the left of the front of the
set will not be alight. After a few hours, the date and
clock settings will be lost.
•Attention: Before you switch off the appliance with the
power switch m, remove the tape by pressing the
Jbutton.
•Keep your TV Combi connected to the mains and the
power switch in ’on’ position at all times to ensure that
programmed recordings can be made and that the
television functions normally. The power consumption
required is low.
•Back-up power supply: TV channel storage - typically 1
year, Clock/Timer - typically 7 hours.

Programme a recording
The set needs the following information for every pro-
grammed recording:
* the date on which the recording is to be made
* the programme number for the TV channel
* the start and end time of the recording
* VPS/PDC on or off
The set stores all the information mentioned above in what is
known as a TIMER block. It can store 6 TIMER blocks for up
to one month in advance.
’VPS’ (Video Programming System)/ ’PDC’
(Programme Delivery Control)
With ’VPS/PDC’, the TV station controls the start and the
duration of a programmed recording. This means that the
video recorder switches itself on and off at the right time
even if a TV programme you have programmed begins earlier
or finishes later than expected.
Usually the start time is the same as the ’VPS/PDC’ time. If,
however, a different ’VPS/PDC’ time is given, e.g.: ’20.15
(VPS/PDC 20.14)’, you have to enter ’20.14’ (the ’VPS/PDC’
time) exactly to the minute.
If you are not using ’VPS/PDC’, the ’VPS/PDC’ indication must
be off.
