Safety Precautions
Warning: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose
this equipment to rain or moisture.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Warning: Any
unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment

This VCR, equipped with a High Quality (HQ) System, is compatible
with existing Video Home System (VHS) equipment. Philips
Consumer Electronics recommends that you use only video cassette
tapes that are labelled with the
mark or the S-VHS 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 S-VHS feature provides the best
picture quality when the VCR uses S-VHS tapes.
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.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device
may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference, including interference that may cause undesired
