Thank you

for buying a Philips video recorder. This video recorder is one of the most sophisticated and easy-to-

use video recorders (VCR) on the market. Please take the time to read this operating manual before using your
video recorder. It contains important information and notes regarding operation. The video recorder should 

not be

turned on immediately after transportation

from a cold to a hot area or vice versa, or in conditions of extreme

humidity. Wait at least 

three hours

after transporting the device. The video recorder needs this time in order to

become acclimatised to its new environment (temperature, air humidity, etc.).
