1. Connecting the TV-Video Combi
1.Take the remote control and the enclosed
batteries (2 batteries).
Important for the United Kingdom
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.
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.

Connecting the cable
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:
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

Playing cassettes
Playing back NTSC cassettes
You can use this TV-Video Combi to playback
recorded VHS video cassettes. You can operate
the TV-Video Combi using the remote control or
the buttons on the set.
Cassettes that have been recorded in the NTSC
standard (for example, American cassettes) can
be played back using this TV-Video Combi.
Your TV-Video Combi can only record and play
standard VHS cassettes.
Displaying current tape position
1.Put a cassette into the cassette slot. The cas-
sette is inserted automatically.
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 actual amount of play-
ing/recording time left on the tape in hours and
minutes.
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.
When you play an NTSC cassette, the TV-Video
Combi will show 'REM -:--'.
Picture/ sound quality is poor
When playing rental videos or older, poorer
quality cassettes, it may not be possible to com-
pletely filter out picture and sound interference.
This is not a fault in your machine. Read the
section 'Manual tracking'.
How can I set the counter to '0:00:00'?
You can set the counter to '0:00:00' with

When you put a cassette in the TV-Video
Combi, the counter will automatically reset to
'0:00:00'.

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 TV-Video Combi must first calcu-
late the time played. Therefore, '-:--' appears
first and only after the tape has been running
for a few seconds, the correct playing time will
be shown.
Do I need to change the playback speed
when playing back LP recordings?
During playback, the correct speed will auto-
matically be selected. For more information,
please read the section 'Selecting the recording
speed (SP or LP)' in the chapter 'Manual
recording'.
