The most important functions of your new video recorder

Your Philips video recorder can be used, not only for recording and playing back VHS cassettes, but it also has a whole range of special functions which will make day-to-day use of your new video recorder easier for you.

Plug in and off you go - getting started with your new video recorder just couldn’t be simpler. Once you have connected the cables, you will immediately see text on the screen which will assist you at all stages of operation.

The function “Smart Picture” gives you the option of activating pre-defined picture settings quickly and easily at the touch of a button.

Using the enclosed multi-code remote control you can, if you wish, control the main functions of your TV set - even if your TV is not made by Philips.

The simple programming system for video recorders revolutionized the video world when it was introduced. Instead of having to enter many different details (date, starting time, finish time, programme), which was often tiresome and liable to errors, all you have to do is enter a number, up to nine digits long, which can be found in any TV programme listing. Once you have done that, all the relevant details for the recording are stored.

VIDEO Plus+ and PlusCode are registered trademarks of Gemstar Development Corporation. The VIDEO Plus+ system is manufactured under licence from Gemstar Development Corporation.

Recordings can be controlled, not only by the video recorder itself but also by a connected satellite receiver. In this way the programme from various TV stations can be recorded one after another without the need to set the corresponding channels on the satellite receiver manually. Requirement: Your satellite receiver must support this function.

So that you can identify your machine in the event of theft, enter the serial number (PROD. NO) here.You will find it on the type plate on the back of the set.
