Important Safety Notice
Proper service and repair is important to the safe, reliable operation of all Philips Company** Equipment. The
service procedures recommended by Philips and described in this service manual are effective methods of
performing service operations. Some of these service operations require the use of tools specially designed for the
purpose. The special tools should be used when and as recommended.
It is important to note that this manual contains various CAUTIONS and NOTICES which should be carefully read
in order to minimize the risk of personal injury to service personnel. The possibility exists that improper service
methods may damage the equipment. It is also important to understand that these CAUTIONS and NOTICES ARE

not recommended by Philips must first satisfy himself thoroughly that neither his safety nor the safe operation of
the equipment will be jeopardized by the service method selected.
