Thank you for buying a Philips video recorder. This video recorder is one of the most sophisticated 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 con-
ditions 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 environment (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.
