:help you to keep several things in
:mind.
Safety Precautions
Warning: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this equip-
ment to rain or moisture.
FCC Warning: Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this
equipment void the user's authority to operate it.
This VCR, equipped with a HQ (High Quali!y) system, is compatible
with existing VHS (video home system) equipment.
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 []_iN
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.
Note to the CATV System Installer: This reminder is provided to call the
CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the National
Electrical Code, which provides guidelines for proper grounding - in par- •
ticular, specifying that the cable ground shall be connected to the ground- i
ing system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as possi- .
ble.
