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 opera-
tion. 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 transport-

ing the device. The video recorder needs this time in order to become acclimatised to its new environ-
ment (temperature, air humidity, etc.).
