Philips VR205/05 - Manual (Page 22)

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 CH35 or 583MHz.
a Make sure that there is no cassette in the video recorder.
On the video recorder, hold the
SYSTEM button for a few
seconds until e.g.: ’ M583’ (583Mhz/channel 35) appears
in the display. The video recorder transmits a test picture
on this UHF-channel (or this frequency).

Switching off the modulator
If you cannot clear picture or sound interference, you can
switch off the built-in modulator.
You should only do this if you have connected the video
recorder to the TV set with a scart cable. ’Connecting VCR
without scart cable’ is not possible when the modulator is
switched off.
a Switch on the TV set and select the programme number
for the video recorder.
b Make sure that no cassette is in the video recorder. On
the video recorder, press the
SYSTEM button for several
seconds, until, for example, ’ M583’ appears on the video
recorder display.
c Hold the CLEAR (CL), y button, until ’MOFF’ (modulator
off) appears on the video recorder display. If you want to
switch the modulator on again, hold the
CLEAR (CL), y
button, until ’ M583’ (Modulator switched on) appears on
the display.
d To end, press the TV/STANDBY m button.
