OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS PHILIPSTL24A5T
Power supply: AC 120V, 60 Hz only If the unit is to be left unattended for a long period and it is not intended to use the unit, it is recommended that the unit be completely switched off by removing the plug. Illustrated below is molded on the back of your unit. Safety Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, turn off the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further. To disconnect the power cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself. Installation Choose a location in which air can pass through the ventilation holes in the bottom, top and back of the unit to prevent it from overheating. Do not install the unit near sources such as radiators or air ducts or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibrations or shock. Never bring a magnet or magnetized object near the VCR because it will adversely affect the performance of the VCR. Do not install the unit in an inclined position. The unit is designed for operation in a horizontal position. Operation Condensation If you pour a cold liquid into a glass, water vapor in the air will condense on the surface of class. This is the condensation moisture. Condensation on the head drum, one of the most crucial parts of the VCR, will cause damage to the tape. The VCR should not be operated for at least 2 hours after being removed from a cold to a hot environment to avoid condensation from occurring on the head drum. Cleaning Be careful; when surface of the case is wiped with a volatile agent such as benzine, alcohol, thinner, etc., or a chemically processed cloth, the surface finish may be degraded or its coating may peel off. Repacking It is wise to save the packing materials and box in case you ever need to ship or store your unit. This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the Interference-causing equipment standard entitled "Digital Apparatus", ICES-003 of the Department of Communications.
This symbol warns the user that uninsulated voltage within the unit may have sufficient magnitude to cause electric shock. Therefore, it is dangerous to make any kind of contact with any inside part of this unit. This symbol alerts the user that important literature concerning the operation and maintenance of this unit has been included. Therefore, it should be read carefully in order to avoid any problems. CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK), NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

Connections on the control socket
Do not connect any external voltage sources to the 9 contacts on the control terminal as this could damage the inputs and outputs. To connect the wire, remove 5 - 10 mm of the insulation and insert the bare wire into the relevant opening right up to the insulation.

Connecting the television/monitor
Connect your monitor/television set to the corresponding VIDEO OUT socket on the video recorder with a BNC cable. Connect your monitor/television set to the corresponding AUDIO OUT socket on the video recorder with a cinch cable. Instead of using the BNC-cable you can also use the scart cable as a connection between scart socket and television/monitor. Select programme number EXT, 0 or AV on your monitor/television set to play recordings. Consult the operating manual for your monitor/television set for further information.
Connecting to an input source
Connect your video source (e.g.: camera) to the corresponding VIDEO IN socket on the video recorder with a BNC cable. Connect your audio source (e.g.: camera with a microphone) to the corresponding AUDIO IN socket on the video recorder with a CINCH cable.

The tape length is indicated on the cassette in minutes, e.g.: E120 is 120 minutes of playing time (= 2:00 hours). You will find the tape length printed on the left hand side of the front narrow edge. However, the actual playing time might be a little longer than specified (e.g.: 2:05 hours). You can read the exact number of minutes played in the display during fast forward, rewinding, recording, playing back and pause/stop, e.g.: U1:25. Some more useful tips: * The video recorder has to calculate the tape position when a new cassette is inserted. The video recorder will therefore display - : - - first,and after a few seconds the used playing time will be displayed. * Only use E120 cassettes. Other cassettes will indicate a wrong tape position.

SAFETY TIPS

Recommended servicing
This machine is designed for longevity. The operating hours are displayed in the main menu (HOUR METER). In order to ensure that your video recorder runs smoothly, we recommend servicing it every 1000 hours as follows:
Precautionary safety measures/Tips
Do not take the appliance straight from a cold room into a hot room or vice versa immediately after transportation. Do not use in an extremely humid environment. To give the appliance time to acclimatise, do not install the appliance for at least 3 hours after unpacking. Do not use the appliance in dusty rooms, near strong magnetic fields or in places where it will be exposed to vibration. We recommend disconnecting the appliance from the mains during thunderstorms to prevent lightning damage. There must be a vertical gap of at least 20 cm between the video recorder and the television set/monitor. Inserting fingers or foreign bodies into the cassette compartment can damage the mechanics of the appliance. This video recorder operates with standard VHS cassettes. To ensure that the picture quality on your video recorder is as good as possible, only use branded VHS cassettes.
