Safety Precautions
Warning: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose
this equipment to rain or moisture.
Federal Communications Commission Warning: Any unau-
thorized changes or modifications to this equipment void
the user’s authority to operate it.
This VCR is equipped with a High Quality (HQ) system and is com-
patible with existing Video Home System (VHS) equipment.
Philips Consumer Electronics recommends that you use only video
cassette tapes which are labeled with the
mark. The use of
other tapes may result in poor picture quality and excessive deposits
on the video heads, which may not be covered by the warranty if
damage occurs.
The 19 micron head provides a better picture when you view tapes
recorded in slow speed (SLP).
Note to the Cable TV System Installer: This reminder is pro-
vided 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.
