Product Highlights
• Crystal Clear Video
With Crystal ClearVideo, Philips has created the perfect combination of
technologies to guarantee the best possible picture restitution:
• Digital Studio Picture Control: Optimises the picture rendition regardless
of the quality of tape used.
• Laser cut Video Heads: They have a better profile for a superior
head/tape contact. Lesser wear guarantees longer life and higher
performance quality.
• Studio Tracking System: It improves the tracking accuracy and reduces
the crosstalk noise.
• Natural Colour: It cleans the colour from any kind of noise and corrects
the spill.
• Easy Link
Easy Link offers maximum convenience when it comes to installing aVCR.
There’s no need to wait endlessly for the tuning of all channels or to spend
time re-sorting the presets in the right order.You just connect both VCR and
TV with a Scart cable and plug the mains.That’s all! On top of that
features like Automatic On/Off switching of the TV when the VCR is used,
Direct Record and automatic 16x9 switching make the daily life of theVCR
user much easier.
• SMART Picture
With this unique feature, you are now able to optimise the sharpness and
colour, in playback, to your own preference.
