Philips VR727 - Manual (Page 12)

In Chapter 1 you connected your TV set to the video re­
corder, thus enabling you to play a cassette.
Your video recorder has its own receiver. Because of this, it
can be used independently of the TV set.
In order to be able to record TV programmes, you first have
to store each TV channel (e.g. 'BBC 1') in the video recorder.
Each TV channel is transmitted on a specific 'channel num­
ber'.
So that you don't have to remember these channel num­
bers, assign a programme number in your video recorder to
each TV channel.
For the subsequent use of 'Programming with VIDEOplus-н'
you also have to assign a so called 'aerial code' to each TV
channel. The relevant aerial codes (3 digits) are given in a
appended list.
For example: BBC 2 is assigned, by you :
- a channel number e.g. 'C 30'
- a programme number e.g. 'P 2' and
- an aerial code e.g. '002'.
In this instance, use the same programme numbers as used
on your TV set.
You can store up to 42 TV channels.
You have two possibilities for storing TV channels:
• If you do not know the channel number: Please read the
following section 'Automatic channel search'.
• If you do know the channel number: Please read the sec­
tion 'Direct channel storage'.
A general note: If you store a TV channel with a programme
number that has already been used, the original channel
number stored will be deleted.
A tip: In rare cases, two TV channels may be on one channel
number. In this case, the video recorder will not find one of
these TV channels.
Then run through all the channel numbers again with the
'Automatic channel search'. Each time you find a TV chan­
nel, press button ¡....TRACKING >3. on the remote control.
The automatic fine tuning then begins. Whenever you find
the sought TV channel, store it.
Automatic channel search
O
Switch on the TV set and select the programme number
for the video recorder.
O Switch on the video recorder with button . iSTOP ;.
O
Press button E SEARCH...
When the automatic channel search finds a TV channel, its
picture will appear on the TV screen. The display will show,
e.g.:
Have you used an AV-Euro-cable to connect the video re­
corder to your TV set and does your TV set respond to the
switch-over with button ¡.iMONlTOR(remote control)? If
so, you can now switch to and fro between TV reception
and video recorder reception. This is the easiest way for
you to assign the same TV channels to the same pro­
gramme numbers on both appliances.
If this is not the required TV channel, or if the picture qual­
ity is poor, press button SEARCH...: again. The video re­
corder then searches for the next TV channel.
If this TV channel is encoded and the video recorder is con­
nected to a decoder, press button ■SELECT (remote
control). The display will show'DECODER'.
From now on, the video recorder will activate the decoder
function for this TV channel (= this 'programme number').
O
The video recorder will propose a programme number
under which to store the TV channel (e.g. 'P 2' in the
diagram), if you wish to store it under another pro­
gramme number, use the rotary control : ~ 0 * - to change
it.
Note: The programme number proposed by the video re­
corder will automatically increase by one each time a TV
channel is stored.
