Proper service and repair is important to the safe, reliable operation of all Philips Company Equipment. The service
procedures recommended by Philips and described in this service manual are effective methods of performing
service operations. Some of these service operations require the use of tools specially designed for the purpose.
The special tools should be used when and as recommended.
It is important to note that this manual contains various CAUTIONS and NOTICES which should be carefully read
in order to minimize the risk of personal injury to service personnel. The possibility exists that improper service
methods may damage the equipment. It is also important to understand that these CAUTIONS and NOTICES ARE
NOT EXHAUSTIVE. Philips could not possibly know, evaluate and advise the service trade of all conceivable ways
in which service might be done or of the possible hazardous consequences of each way. Consequently, Philips has
not undertaken any such broad evaluation. Accordingly, a customer who uses a service procedure or tool which is
not recommended by Philips must first satisfy himself thoroughly that neither his safety nor the safe operation of
the equipment will be jeopardized by the service method selected.
Hereafter throughout this manual, Philips Company will be referred to as Philips.
WARNING
Use of substitute replacement parts, which do not have the same, specified safety characteristics, may create
shock, fire, or other hazards.
Under no circumstances should the original design be modified or altered without written permission from Philips.
Philips assumes no liability, express or implied, arising out of any unauthorized modification of design.
Customer assumes all liability.
