Safety Precautions

Warning: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this equipment to rain or moisture.

FCC Warning: Any unauthorized changes or modifica- tions to this equipment void the user’s authority to oper- ate it.

This VCR, equipped with a High Quality (HQ) system, is compati- ble with existing Video Home System (VHS) equipment.

Philips Consumer Electronics Company recommends that you use only video cassette tapes that have been tested and inspected for use in two, four, six, and eight hour VCRs, and which are labeled

with the mark. The use of tapes that have not been inspected for use in two, four, six, and eight hour VCRs may 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 is provided to call 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.
