Recorder/Player back on using ON/OFF.
The display will now indicate BUSY and after a few
minutes, the message will change to ---- or

defective and needs to be repaired. Consult your supplier
or call the Philips Consumer Line to find the nearest
service centre. The number of the Consumer Line can be
found in the guarantee booklet.

instructions once again; and if necessary contact your
supplier.
