Thank you

for buying a Philips video recorder.

This video recorder is one of the most sophisti-
cated and easy-to-use video recorders (VCR) on
the market. Please take the time to read this
operating manual before using your video
recorder. It contains important information and
notes regarding operation. The video recorder
should 

not be turned on immediately after

transportation

from a cold to a hot area or vice

versa, or in conditions of extreme humidity. Wait
at least 

three hours

after transporting the

device. The video recorder needs this time in
order to become acclimatised to its new environ-
ment (temperature, air humidity, etc.).

This video recorder is used for the recording and
playback of VHS videocassettes. Cassettes with
the VHS-C label (VHS cassettes for camcorders)
may only be used with a suitable adapter.

We hope you enjoy your new video recorder.

Important notes regarding operation

Danger: High voltage!
Do not remove the top cover as there is a risk
of an electrical shock!

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do
not expose this device rain or moisture!

The video recorder does not contain any compo-
nents that can be repaired by the customer.
Please leave all maintenance work for qualified
personnel.

As soon as the video recorder is connected to
the power supply, there are some components
that are in constant operation. To switch off the
video recorder completely you must disconnect it
from the power supply.

Make sure that air can circulate freely through
the ventilation slots on the video recorder. Do not
place the device on an unsteady base.

Make sure that no objects or liquids enter the
video recorder. Do not place vases or the like on
the video recorder. If liquid is spilt into it, immedi-
ately disconnect the video recorder from the
power supply and call After-sales Service for
advice.

Do not place any combustible objects on the
device (candles, etc.).

Make sure that children do not place any foreign
objects within the openings or ventilation slots.

These operating instructions have been
printed on non-polluting paper.

Deposit old batteries at the appropriate col-
lection points.

Please make use of the facilities available in
your country for disposing of the packaging
of the video recorder in a way that helps to
protect the environment.

This electronic device contains many mate-
rials that can be recycled. Please enquire
