Thank you for buying a Philips video recorder.
This video recorder is one of the most sophisti-
cated 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.).
So that you can identify your machine for service
questions or in the event of theft, enter the serial
number here. The serial number (PROD.NO.) is
printed on the type plate fixed at the back of the
device.
PAL SECAM
This video recorder is used for the recording and
playback of VHS videocassettes. Cassettes with

Philips has developed a system which produces
the best possible playback quality. For old and
often-used video cassettes, this system reduces
interference. For new or high quality cassettes,
it emphasises the details.
The counter does not move
This occurs when there are no recordings on a
portion of a tape. This is not a fault in your
video recorder.
The screen shows '-0:01:20'
If you rewind a cassette from the tape position

'-0:01:20' (the cassette was rewound to 1
minute and 20 seconds before '0:00:00').
Picture/ sound quality is poor
When playing rental videos or older, poorer
quality cassettes, it may not be possible to com-
pletely filter out picture and sound interference.
