Safety instructions/notes

•Do not use your video recorder immediately after moving it from a cold to a warm location or vice versa, or under conditions of high humidity. Before setting up the video recorder, it should be allowed to acclimatise for at least three hours after unpacking.

•Do not place the video recorder close to sources of heat (radiators, etc.)

•Ensure that air can circulate freely through the video recorder's ventilation openings. Do not place the video recorder on soft surfaces.

•Ensure that there is a vertical distance of at least

20 cm between the video recorder and your TV set.

•Do not use the video recorder in dusty places or where it may be subject to vibration. During severe thunder-storms (with lightning), we recommend dis- connecting the video recorder from the mains and the aerial 3.

•Do not put your fingers or any other foreign objects into the cassette loading slot as this could damage the drive mechanism. Be particularly careful with children.

•This video recorder operates in accordance with the VHS cassette standard. Use only cassettes of a well- known brand which display the VHS symbol.

We recommend that you use PHILIPS VHS video cas- settes to ensure the best possible picture quality from your video recorder.
