1Introduction

Welcome to the family of owners of Philips VHS video recorders.

Thank you for choosing to buy our product. Please wait at least three hours after transporting the appliance before starting installation. The set needs this time in order to become acclimatised to its new environment (temperature, air humidity, etc.).

Your Philips Team hopes that you will enjoy using your new video recorder.

This product complies with the requirements of Directive 73/23/EEC + 89/336/EEC + 93/68 EEC.

	Important notes for operation


	You should not under any circumstances open the set yourself. You
	would expose yourself to the risk of an electric shock from the
	hazardous high voltage inside.

	When the appliance is connected to the power supply, there are some
	components which are constantly operational. To switch off the video
	recorder completely, you must disconnect it from the power supply.

	The video recorder does not contain any components that can be
	repaired by the customer.

	Make sure that air can circulate freely through the ventilation slots on the
!	video recorder.

	Make sure that no objects or liquids enter the video recorder. If liquid is
	spilt into it, disconnect the video recorder immediately from the power
	supply and call the After Sales Service for advice.
	The video recorder should not be used immediately after transportation
	from a cold to a hot area or vice versa, or in conditions of extreme
	humidity.

These operating instructions have been printed on non-polluting paper.

Please deposit old batteries at the relevant collection points.

Please make use of the facilities available in your country for disposing of the video recorder packaging in a way that helps to protect the environment.
