Philips vr 685 - Manual (Page 17)

Tuner mode
You can also use your video recorder as a TV receiver (tuner).
1 Hold the STOP h button, until appears in the display.
2 Select the required programme number with the P r or
P q button or with the 0-9 buttons.
3 Switch the video recorder to standby by pressing the
STANDBY m button when you no longer want to watch
television.
Sound track selection
You can select the required sound track during tuner-mode,
stop or playback. This is of particular interest when the audio
transmissions are multilingual.
1 Press the SELECT button. The current setting will appear
in the display.
2 By pressing the SELECT button several times you can
select from the four possibilities displayed (’STEREO’,
’RIGHT’, ’LEFT’, ’MONO’).
Note: During playback you can select a fifth possibility: the
’MIXED’ mode. In this mode you can playback the mono
sound of the normal (linear) audio track together with the
sound of the stereo audio track. This can be used for
playing back a recording dubbed on another video recorder.
* If there is no stereo sound recorded on the cassette, the
video recorder automatically switches over to mono sound.
Externally controlled recording
Do you have another device, e.g. a satellite receiver, which
can control other equipment by a ’programming’ function? You
can connect this device to the video recorder with a scart
cable, at socket
EXT.2 .
1 Insert a cassette. Switch to standby with the STANDBY m
button.
2 Hold the MONITOR button until ’REC.P’ appears in the
display.
3 If you want to interrupt this function before the recording
has actually started, hold the
MONITOR button until
’REC.P’ disappears from the video recorder display.
4 If you want to interrupt this function while a recording is
being made, press the
STANDBY m button.

control codes for TV sets of different makes. Using the

set, or if the TV make is not contained in the list, you can try
out the codes one after the other.
