IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
Proper service and repair is important to the safe, reliable operation of all
Philips Consumer Electronics 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 per-
sonal injury to service personnel. The possibility exists that improper service
methods may damage the equipment. It also is important to understand that
these CAUTIONS and NOTICES ARE NOT EXHAUSTIVE. Philips could not
possibly know, evaluate and advise the service trade of all conceivable ways
in which service might be done or of the possible hazardous consequences of
each way. Consequently, Philips has not undertaken any such broad evalua-
tion. Accordingly, a servicer who uses a service procedure or tool which is
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.
** Hereafter throughout this manual, Philips Consumer Electronics Company
will be referred to as Philips.
