Philips VR302 - Manual (Page 8)

Remove the aerial cable from your TV set and plug it into the
socket nr at the back of the video recorder.
Take the aerial cable supplied and connect it to the socket El on
the video recorder and to the aerial input socket on your TV.
Both sets are now connected to the aerial.
Connecting to your TV set
The connection to the TV set can be made in two different ways.
The kind of connection you choose depends on the TV model
you possess.
Method 1:
If your TV set has a 21-pin AV-Euroconnector:
We suggest that you use an AV-Eurocable. This will guarantee
the best possible connection between the TV set and the video
recorder. Consult your dealer for the correct cable.
О
Connect the corresponding AV-Euro socket on the TV set
and the video recorder socket EXTERNAL 1 using an
AV-Eurocable.
© Set the MOD I/O selector at the rear of the video recorder in
position O.
© If you wish to play back a cassette, all you have to do is to
select programme ‘AV’(= Audio Video-input) on the TV set.
On specially equipped TV sets the switching takes place
automatically.
Method 2;
If your TV set isn’t provided with a 21-pin AV-Euroconnector:
The aerial cable which is already in place, will act as the
connection between the TV set and the video recorder.
In order to play the cassette (i.e. to produce the image on the
screen) a programme number for the video recorder must be
stored in the TV set. This works in the same way as storing a TV
channel.
For example BBC 1 can be stored on number ‘1’, BBC 2 on
number ‘2’, ITV on number ‘3’ and so on.
If your TV set has a number reserved for the video recorder, then
select this number.
If your TV set hasn’t a special programme number reserved for
the video recorder playback, you could, for example, choose
programme number ‘8’.
Next, you have to select the right ‘frequency’, this works in the
same way as tuning in to a radio station. The video recorder
transmits ‘its programme’ on the UHF channel 37.
Your TV set must be adjusted to receive this channel.
And this is how to go about it:
O Switch on the TV set and select the programme number you
wish to reserve for the video playback (e.g. programme
number ‘8’).
© Remove the aerial cable from the aerial socket If.
® Switch off the video recorder by pressing button (1) and
press the button A language Indication will appear
on the display, e.g. ‘ENGL’.
The video recorder is now transmitting an installation test
picture, which the TV set should receive.
O Tune the TV set to the UHF range (band IV-V) until this test
picture appears on the screen. You will find it around channel
37.
in order to find out how to select the right channel on the TV set,
please consult the operating instructions of your TV set.
@ Replace the aerial cable in the aerial socket Tf.
Switch off the video recorder by pressing button (1).
You have now tuned the video recorder into the TV set.
Please note:
It is possible that in your reception area UHF channel 37 Is
already occupied by another TV channel. In this case you will
have picture disturbances in the channels stored on the TV set.
Proceed in this way:
O Switch on the video recorder by pressing button
and check if the picture quality of all the TV channels stored
in the TV set is unchanged.
© If the reception of any TV channel is now of poor picture
quality, switch the video recorder off for a control and check
all the TV channels again.
© If the disturbances of the picture quality only appear when
the video recorder is switched on, use a small screwdriver to
turn the +^- channel control at the rear of the video
recorder.
0 Tune the TV set once more following the instructions from
step
O
to © until you see the installation test picture
again.
