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.

Welcome to your VCR owner’s manual.
This manual describes the VRZ220 and the VRZ250. The VRZ220 is a two-head, monaural (single sound
source) system, while the VRZ250 is a four-head, stereo system. The VRZ250 can play tapes in Slow
Motion and perform a Time Search; the VRZ220 can not. Otherwise, the two models are exactly the same.
In this manual, the VRZ250 is illustrated. (The VRZ220 has single AUDIO IN/OUT Jacks. Also, the VRZ220
remote control does not have the SLOW button and the TIME SEARCH button. Otherwise, the VRZ220
looks exactly like the VRZ250.)
This manual has seven sections: Setting Up Your VCR; Description of Controls; Basic Operations;
Recording; Playing; Stereo Features; and Information You May Need. The instructions explain all of the
VCR’s features, which are listed below. You cannot hurt your VCR by trying the features!
So read on – and relax.
