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 VCP, 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.

Welcome to your Video Cassette Player owner’s manual. This manual describes two Video Cassette Players: the VPZ210AT and the VPZ215AT. These two players are exactly the same, except the VPZ215AT has a DC power system and a dew sensor. The illustrations in this manual are of the VPZ215AT. The VPZ210AT will not have the DC13.2V jack or the AC/DC POWER SYSTEM label shown in the illustra­tions. This manual has four sections: Setting Up Your VCP; Description of Controls; Operations; and Information You May Need. The instructions explain all of the VCP’s features, which are listed below.
• Before doing anything else, record the VCP’s model and serial numbers in the spaces provided on page two. These numbers will help us assist you if you ever call for help.
