EasyLink features are based on the
“one touch operation” approach. This
means that a sequence of actions
are executed at the same time in
both the television and the recorder,
provided both are fitted with the
EasyLink function and connected with
the eurocable supplied with your
recorder.
R
End of life directives
Philips is paying a lot of attention to
producing environmentally-friendly in
green focal areas.Your new TV contains
materials which can be recycled and
reused. At the end of its life specialised
companies can dismantle the
discarded TV to concentrate the
reusable materials and to minimise
the amount of materials to be
disposed of.
Your TV contains a (tolerated) small
amount of mercury. Please ensure you
dispose of your old TV according to
local regulations.
