Operation

EasyLink features are based on the “one touch operation” approach. This means that a sequence of actions are executed at the same time in both the television and the video cassette recorder, provided both are fitted with the EasyLink function and connected with the eurocable supplied with your video recorder.

R End of life directives

Philips is paying a lot of attention to producing environmentally-friendly in green focal areas.Your new TV contains materials which can be recycled and reused. At the end of its life specialised companies can dismantle the discarded TV to concentrate the reusable materials and to minimise the amount of materials to be disposed of. Please ensure you dispose of your old TV according to local regulations.

See the supplied World-wide guarantee booklet. Please, have the Model and Product number which you can find at the back of your television set or on the packaging, ready, before calling the Philips helpline.
