Thank you for buying a Philips TV-Video combi. This TV-Video combi is one of the most sophisticat-
ed and easy-to-use TV-Video combi on the market. Please take the time to read this operating manu-
al before using your TV-Video combi. It contains important information and notes regarding operation.

ronment (temperature, air humidity, etc.).
This TV-Video combi is used for the recording and playback of VHS videocassettes.
Cassettes with the VHS-C label (VHS cassettes for camcorders) may only be used
with a suitable adapter.

1. Connecting the TV-Video Combi
Important for the United Kingdom
Preparing the remote control for
operation
This apparatus is fitted with an approved 5 Amp
plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug pro-
ceed as follows:
1.Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2.Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362
5A,ASTA or BSI approved type.
The remote control and its batteries are packed
separately in the original TV-Video Combi pack-
aging. You must install the batteries in the
remote control before use.
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.
1.Take the remote control and the enclosed bat-
teries (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 compartment.
The remote control is now ready to use.
Its range is approximately 7 metres.
The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a pos-
sible 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 accor-
dance with the following code:
Connecting the cable
BLUE- 'NEUTRAL' ('N')
BROWN- 'LIVE' ('L')
4.The BLUE wire must be connected to the termi-
nal 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 termi-
nai 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.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

7. Programming a recording (TIMER)
General information
Programming a recording
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
period of one year. To make a programmed
recording, 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 [14PV225]

What is 'PDC'?
If all TIMER blocks are in use, 'FULL' will appear
'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.
