Reducing Picture Disturbance - Optimising The Modulator; Switching Off The Modulator - Philips VR200/02 User Manual

Reducing picture disturbance - optimising
the modulator
You may experience picture disturbance if you have not used
a scart cable to connect your video recorder and TV. This is
because another TV station in your reception area may
already be using UHF-channel CH36 or 591MHz.
In this case the picture quality on your TV set will be poor
when receiving one or more TV channels with the video
recorder switched on.
a
Make sure that there is no cassette in the video recorder.
With the video recorder switched off hold the
button for a few seconds until the modulator frequency,
for example, 'M591' (591 Mhz or channel 36) appears on
the video recorder display. The video recorder will then
transmit a test picture channel or frequency.
