2 Use S-VIDEO Output for the better picture quality (for DVD features only).

3 Use SCART Composite Output for good picture quality (for

DVD and VCR features).

• When you select AUTO by pressing the MODE/SYSTEM button, this System will distinguish the colour system (SECAM,

PAL or ME-SECAM) automatically according to the format of recorded tape during playback.

If the picture on the TV screen is black and white, select

SECAM, ME-SECAM or PAL by using the MODE/SYSTEM button.

• Tapes recorded with the NTSC system can playback with this

System via a PAL system TV set.

Note:

– Depending on the TV, when playing back a NTSC tape on a PAL TV, the picture may roll up or down, shrink vertically and black bars may appear both at the top and bottom of the screen.

You can use this System to play back recorded VHS videocassettes.You can operate the System using the remote control or the buttons on the front of the System.

If you press PLAY, STOP, FF or REW while the set is in Standby, the power will be automatically turned on. Additionally, if a cassette was already inserted, the corresponding operation will be performed.

Your System can only record and play standard VHS cassettes.

1 Put a cassette into the cassette slot.The cassette is inserted automatically.

2 Press PLAY B to view the tape.

3 To stop the playback, press STOP C or STOP/EJECT C A on the System.

4 To eject the cassette, press STOP/EJECT C A on the System when the System stops the 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 system reduces interference. For new or high quality cassettes, it emphasises the details.

Picture/ sound quality is poor

When playing rental videos or older, poorer quality cassettes, 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

Recording'.

Playing back NTSC cassettes

This System can also play back 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 suitable 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 actual amount of playing/recording time left on the tape in hours and minutes.

When you play an NTSC cassette, the System 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 System, the counter will automatically reset to '0:00:00'.

VCR Playback

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 System.

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 System must first calculate 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.

Searching for a tape position with picture

(scanning)

1 While a cassette is playing, press REWh (rewind) or FF g

(forward) one or more times.

2 Press PLAY B to resume playback.

Programming a Recording (TIMER)

General information

Use a TIMER programming to automatically start and stop a recording at a later time or date.The System will switch to the right programme number and begin recording at the correct time.With this System, you can pre-programme up to eight recordings within a period of one year.To make a programmed recording, your System 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 System 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.

1 Press SOUND repeatedly to select OPTIMAL, CLASSIC, POP, or JAZZ.

The selected Digital Sound light will appear on the front of the

System.

Surround Sound

For proper Surround Sound, connect the speakers and

Subwoofer correctly.The Center and Rear (Surround) speakers only operate when Surround is On.The Discs or TV programs must be recorded or broadcast in Surround Sound.

1 Press SURROUND to set Surround to On or Off.

When Surround is On, the SURR (Surround) light will appear on the front of the System.When Surround is Off, the SURR

(Surround) light will be off.

Programs broadcast in Stereo will produce some surround sound effects when played in a surround mode. However, non-

Stereo programs will not have any sound at the Rear

(Surround) speakers.

The following Surround Sound modes may be broadcast by

DVDs or TV stations.You cannot alter these Surround Sound options at the System.

Matrix: Delivers sound through 5.1 Channels.You will have sound at all five speakers (Front Left and Right, Center, and

Rear (Surround) Left and Right).

Dolby Digital: Dolby Digital is a high-quality audio compression technology first used in movies.This technology has since been adopted for use in Consumer Electronic products and allows you to enjoy the same type of sound in your home.Your

player has a built-in Dolby Digital decoder so you can enjoy

DVDs that include a Dolby Digital soundtrack.

You can identify DVDs and equipment that contain Dolby

Digital by looking for the following logo:

Dolby Pro Logic: A two-channnel analog format that proivides sound through four speakers (Front Left and Right, Center, and a single Rear (Surround)) when using a Dolby ProLogic Decoder. It is compatible with a Stereo, but you will only have two-channel sound (left and right) at the Stereo.

DTS (Digital Theater System): Developed by Digital

Theater Systems, Inc., of the United States. Sound is compressed to reduce its recording size. Since the compression level is less than Dolby Digital, the quantity of data is greater when decoded, providing clarity and depth in the sound.The

sound has a wider dynamic range and higher resolution.

Note:

- Surround Sound is not available when you are using headphones.The SURROUND light will turn off.
