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 opera-
tion. 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 transport-
ing 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.
