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.

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.
