AIntroduction

Dear Philips customer,

Instruction manuals are usually very dry since they are technically-oriented and often poorly translated. I have therefore been employed by Philips to help you.

Allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Phil. I will be guiding you through the instruction manual and helping you get to know your new DVD recorder. At appropriate points along the way, I will be providing you with the following information:

Phil

P.S. If you have any problems operating the machine, please read the section entitled 'Before you call an engineer'. If this doesn't help you to resolve the problem, please call the customer support service for your country.

The telephone numbers and e-mail addresses can be found on the last page of this instruction manual.
