source) system, while the VR623CAT is a stereo system. Otherwise, the two models are exactly the same. In

VR423CAT looks exactly like the VR623CAT.)

Safety Precautions
Warning: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose
this equipment to rain or moisture.
Federal Communications Commission Warning: Any unau-
thorized changes or modifications to this equipment void
the user's authority to operate it.
This VCR 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.
The 19 micron head provides a better picture when you view tapes
recorded in slow speed (SLP).
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.
