Philips VR150/07 - Manual (Page 4)

Important for the United Kingdom
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13
Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug pro-
ceed as follows:
1. 1.Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2. 2.Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 3A, ASTA
or BSI approved type.
3. 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 3A. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at
the distribution board should not be greater than 3A.
How to connect a plug:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accor-
dance with the following code:
BLUE- 'NEUTRAL' ('N')
BROWN- 'LIVE' ('L')
4. 4.The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter 'N' or coloured
BLACK.
5. 5.The BROWN wire must be connected to the termi-
nal which is marked with the letter 'L' or coloured
RED.
6. 6.Do not connect either wires to the earth terminai 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
simply over the two wires.
Preparing the remote control for
operation
The remote control and its batteries are packed separate-
ly in the original video recorder packaging. You must
install the batteries in the remote control before use.

batteries (2 batteries).
2. 2. Open the remote control's battery compart-
ment and place the batteries in it as shown in
the picture and close the battery compart-
ment.
The remote control is now ready to use. Its
range is approximately 7 metres.
Connecting your video recorder to
the TV
The necessary cable connections
must be made before you can record
or playback TV programmes using
your video recorder.
We recommend that you use a scart
cable to connect your TV and video recorder.
Connecting with a scart cable
Have the following cables ready:
- one aerial cable (1, supplied)
- one scart cable (2, not supplied)
1. 1. Remove the aerial cable
plug from your TV. Insert it
into the AERIAL at the back
of the video recorder.
2. 2. Insert one end of the sup-
plied aerial cable into the RF
OUT at the back of the video
recorder and the other end
into the aerial input socket at
the back of the TV.
3. 3. Plug one end of a scart
cable into the scart socket
'TV' at the back of the video
recorder and the other end
into the suitable scart socket on your TV reserved
for the video recorder operation (see your TV’s
operating instructions).
4. 4. Switch on the TV.
5. 5. Insert AC cable into the wall socket.
6. 6. If the connection was properly made and
your TV was automatically switched to the
programme number for the scart socket, you

3. Connecting the video recorder
What is a scart cable?
The scart or Euro AV cable serves as the universal
connector for picture, sound and control signals.
With this type of connection, there is practically no
loss of quality during the picture or sound transfer.

The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possi-
ble shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A
socket alsewhere.
My TV has several scart sockets. Which one
should I use?
Select that scart socket which is suited for the
video output as well as for the video input.
My TV has a configuration menu for the
scart socket.
Please configure this scart socket as Input-Output.
