Product Highlights
• Digital Studio Picture Control
Digital Studio Picture Control keeps checking the quality of your
videotapes and reproduces the best possible picture performance.
Philips’ Digital Studio Picture Control optimises the record and the
playback quality. It measures the characteristics of the tape, adapts
the record characteristics/resolution and reduces the picture noise.
• SMART Picture
With this unique feature, you can adapt the picture to your own
preference: you can enhance the contours on a cartoon or suppress
the noise from a rental tape.We offer you the possibility to play
your tapes the way you like to see them.
• Turbo Timer
Is Timer Programming complicated? No!
Is Timer Programming time consuming? No!
Just push the Turbo Timer button on the remote control and follow
the Mini Guide on the rear side of your Remote Control.The display
of your VCR asks you for the start and end time as well as the
channel number.That’s it. Just a number of seconds.
• ShowGuard™
From now on you never have to programme your timer or channel
presets again after you VCR has been disconnected from the power
supply for a long time. Due to ShowGuard the timer programmes
and channel presets are stored in a memory forever.You can change
the timer programmes and channel presets but you can never loose
them.
• Multibrand Remote Control
Your Remote Control can control not only your VCR but also your TV.
You can select from a large variety of supported brands.
• Turbo Drive
Turbo Drive is not only a synonym for winding and rewinding at very
high speed. It also stands for other high performance Deck features.
The built-in Head Cleaner removes dirt from the video heads each
time you put in a cassette.The new Dirty Head Warning feature will
display a message on the TV screen whenever it is recommended to
use a cleaning tape to overcome severe dirt coating. In addition
there’s a Tape Position Indicator, which shows on your TV screen the
progress of winding and rewinding of the tape in real time.
