1 Introduction
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.
This electronic device contains many materials which can be recycled.
Please enquire about the possibilities for recycling your old set.
IMPORTANT NOTES FOR OPERATION |

The most important functions of your new video recorder
Your Philips video recorder can be used, not only for recording and playing back VHS cassettes, but it also has a whole range of special functions which will make day-to-day use of your new video recorder easier for you.
Plug in and off you go - getting started with your new video recorder just couldn’t be simpler. Once you have connected the cables, you will immediately see text on the screen which will assist you at all stages of operation.
Philips has developed a system which makes it possible for you to get the best possible playback quality from video cassettes. Interference on old, often-played tapes is minimised, and in new or high quality cassettes, details are even clearer.
The precision mechanism developed by Philips guarantees short rewind times and, by automatically detecting the length of the tape, makes operation as easy as possible for the user.
The simple programming system VIDEO Plus+ revolutionized the video world when it was introduced. Instead of having to enter many different details (date, starting time, finish time, programme), which was often tiresome and liable to errors, all you have to do is enter a number, up to nine digits long, which can be found in any TV programme listing.
VIDEO Plus+ and PlusCode are registered trademarks of Gemstar Development Corporation. The VIDEO Plus+ system is manufactured under licence from Gemstar Development Corporation.
So that you can identify your machine in the event of theft, enter the serial number (PROD. NO) here.You will find it on the type plate on the back of the set.
