1. Connecting the TV-Video Combi  
Important for the United Kingdom  
Preparing the remote control for  
operation  
This apparatus is fitted with an approved 5 Amp  
plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug pro-  
ceed as follows:  
1.Remove fuse cover and fuse.  
2.Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362  
5A,ASTA or BSI approved type.  
The remote control and its batteries are packed  
separately in the original TV-Video Combi pack-  
aging. You must install the batteries in the  
remote control before use.  
3.Refit the fuse cover.  
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket  
outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate  
plug fitted in its place.  
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should  
have a value of 5A. If a plug without a fuse is  
used, the fuse at the distribution board should not  
be greater than 5A.  
1.Take the remote control and the enclosed bat-  
teries (2 batteries).  
2.Open the remote control's battery compart-  
ment and place the batteries in it as shown in  
the picture and close the battery compartment.  
The remote control is now ready to use.  
Its range is approximately 7 metres.  
The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a pos-  
sible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A  
socket elsewhere.  
How to connect a plug:  
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accor-  
dance with the following code:  
Connecting the cable  
BLUE- 'NEUTRAL' ('N')  
BROWN- 'LIVE' ('L')  
4.The BLUE wire must be connected to the termi-  
nal which is marked with the letter 'N' or  
coloured BLACK.  
5.The BROWN wire must be connected to the  
terminal which is marked with the letter 'L' or  
coloured RED.  
6.Do not connect either wires to the earth termi-  
nai in the plug which is marked with the letter  
'E' or by the safety earth symbol or coloured  
green or green-and-yellow.  
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that  
the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the  
lead-not imply over the two wires.  
1.Insert the aerial cable plug into the AERIAL at  
the back of the TV-Video Combi.  
2.Connect the mains cable to the wall socket.

6. Manual recording  
General information  
Lining up recordings (assemble cut)  
When you add a further recording to a cassette,  
which already has a recording on it, a short  
blank (flicker) can appear between the old and  
the new recording or the picture itself can flicker.  
To help reduce these from occurring, proceed as  
follows:  
Use 'Manual Recording' to make a sponta-  
neous recording (for example, a programme cur-  
rently being shown).  
If you want to start and stop a recording manual-  
ly, read the section 'Recording without auto-  
matic switch-off'.  
1.Find the tape position of the old recording  
where you want to insert the new recording.  
2.Look at the last minute of the old recording  
(playback).  
If you want to start a recording manually but  
have it stopped automatically, read the section  
'Recording with automatic switch-off'. (e.g.  
not to record to the end of the tape)

3.Press

All cassettes (except  
rental and pre-recorded  
cassettes) have a secu-  
rity tab on the back of  
the cassette.  
To prevent recording  
over important recordings (erasing), you can  
remove this security tab.  
If you later decide to record on a protected cas-  
sette, simply cover the hole with adhesive tape  
or slide the tab to the right.  
'SP': StandardPlay (normal recording speed) offers  
the usual first-class picture quality.  
'LP': LongPlay (half recording speed, double  
recording time). 6 hours can be recorded on a 3-  
hour cassette (E180) with a somewhat reduced  
picture quality.

7. Programming a recording (TIMER)  
General information  
Programming a recording  
Use a TIMER programming to automatically start  
and stop a recording at a later time or date. The  
TV-Video Combi will switch to the right pro-  
gramme number and begin recording at the cor-  
rect time. With this TV-Video Combi, you can  
pre-programme up to eight recordings within a  
period of one year. To make a programmed  
recording, your TV-Video Combi needs to know:  
*the date you want to make the recording  
*the programme number of the TV channel  
*the start and stop time of the recording  
*PDC on or off [14PV225]

What is 'PDC'?  
If all TIMER blocks are in use, 'FULL' will appear  
'PDC' (Programme Delivery Control) is used to  
control the start and duration of TV channel  
recordings. If a TV programme starts earlier or  
ends later than scheduled, the TV-Video Combi  
will turn on and off at the correct time.  
What do I need to know about 'PDC'?  
Usually the PDC time is the same as the start  
time. But if your TV guide shows a PDC time  
which is different from the programme’s sched-  
uled start time, e.g. 20.10 (PDC 20.14), you  
must enter the PDC time exact to the minute. If  
you want a start time different from the PDC  
time, you must switch PDC off.
