This manual has seven sections: Setting Up Your VCR; Description of Controls; Basic Operations;

Recording; Playing; Additional Features; and Information You May Need. The instructions explain all of the

VCR’s features, which are listed below.

This VCR, equipped with a High Quality (HQ) System, is compatible

with existing Video Home System (VHS) equipment. Philips

Consumer Electronics recommends that you use only video cassette

tapes that are labelled with the mark. The use of other tapes

may result in poor picture quality and excessive deposits on the

video heads, which may not be covered by the warranty if damage

occurs.

This VCR also is equipped with S-VHS Quasi Playback (SQPB),

allowing you to play S-VHS recordings with regular VHS resolution.

This product has a 19 micron head that provides a better picture

when you view tapes recorded in slow speed (SLP).
