Safety Precautions
Warning: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose
this equipment to rain or moisture.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Warning: Any
unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment
void the user's authority to operate it.
This VCP has a High Quality (HQ) system and is compatible with
existing Video Home System (VHS) equipment.
Philips Consumer Electronics recommends you use only video cas-
sette tapes that have the
result in poor picture quality and excessive deposits on the video
heads, which may not be covered by the warranty if damage occurs.
Note to the Cable TV System Installer: This reminder calls the
Cable TV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the
National Electrical Code, which provides guidelines for proper
grounding – in particular, specifying that the cable ground shall be
connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the
point of cable entry as possible.
Moisture Condensation Warning: Moisture may condense
inside the unit when you move it from a cold place to a warm place,
after heating a cold room, or when the humidity is high. When
moisture accumulates in your VCP, the POWER light will blink on
the VCP and the symbol will appear on the TV screen. If you
try to play a tape in a VCP in which moisture has accumulated, the
tape and the VCP could be damaged. If the POWER light is blinking,
keep the VCP power on (but do not play a tape) for at least two
hours. When the POWER light stops blinking, it is safe to play a
tape.
