Philips VR200/58 - Manual (Page 24)

Reducing picture disturbance (’optimizing
the modulator’)
You may experience picture disturbance if you have not used
a scart cable to connect your video recorder and TV. This is
because another TV station in your reception area may
already be using UHF-channel CH36 or 591MHz.
a Make sure that there is no cassette in the video recorder.
With the video recorder switched off hold the
SYSTEM
button for a few seconds until the modulator frequency,
for example, ’G591’ (591 Mhz or channel 36) appears on
the video recorder display. The video recorder will then
transmit a test picture channel or frequency.

switched off.
