OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Thank you for buying a Philips video recorder. This video recorder is one of the most sophisti- cated 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 operation. 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 transporting 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.
