Safety Precautions

Warning: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this
equipment to rain or moisture.
FCC Warning: Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this
equipment void the user’s authority to operate it.
This TV/VCR, equipped with a High Quality (HQ) system, is com­patible 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.

TV/VCR Maintenance

● In this TV/VCR, use only tapes with the mark.

● Make sure any light adhesive stick-on notes are removed from

the video cassette tape before putting the tape in the TV/VCR.
Removable labels like these can jam the TV/VCR.

excellent performance. This TV/VCR has an automatic head
cleaning system. However, the video heads will eventually
require cleaning or replacement. Cleaning or replacement of the
video heads should be performed by an authorized service cen­ter.

Video cassette tapes have record tabs to ensure that recordings
are not accidentally erased.

To prevent accidental erasure, break off the tab with a
screwdriver.

To record again, cover the hole with cellophane tape.

There are three ways to set the clock: Manually, with Automatic
PBS Channel Selection, or with Manual PBS Channel Selection.
With manual clock setting, you tell the TV/VCR the current time.
With Automatic or Manual PBS Channel Selection, the TV/VCR
gets the time from your local PBS station. If you use either Manual
PBS Channel Selection or Automatic PBS Channel Selection, fol­low the steps on page 19 to have the TV/VCR maintain the clock
according to your Time Zone.
To set the clock manually, follow the steps on pages 12 -13. To
set the clock using Automatic PBS Channel Selection, follow the
steps on pages 14 - 15. To set the clock using Manual PBS
Channel Selection, follow the steps on pages 16 - 17.
Before you begin, make sure:

● The TV/VCR is hooked up and turned on.

● Channels are set up.

● You make each entry within 60 seconds of the previous entry.

(If you do not, you may start again at step 1.)
