Product Highlights

information system for your most frequently used tapes (up to 9).
You can use any tape, even those with existing recordings.To browse
through the content of your most frequently used tapes, simply press the
Tape List button on the remote control.The complete tape content overview
will be shown on the TV screen. And you have immediate access to any
recording just by selecting the desired recording (from the information
displayed on your TV screen). On top of that you can edit the titles when-
ever you want to.
• 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 playback quality.
It measures the characteristics of the tape, adapts the resolution and
reduces the picture noise.
• Turbo Timer with Net Name Detection
Is Timer Programming complicated? No!
Is Timer Programming time consuming? No!
Just press the Turbo Timer button on the remote control, select the
TV channel you want to record (directly by its name), set the start and the
end time.That’s it. All it takes is only a few seconds.
• Record Link
Your satellite receiver is equipped with a Timer function?
Connect both your VCR and the satellite receiver with a SCART cable and
make use of the „Record Link“ function. You just have to activate it and
switch your VCR to std-by.As soon as the satellite receiver gets active, the
VCR switches on and is set in the record mode. At the end of the recording
it returns automatically to Stand-by.
• SMART Picture

colour, in playback, to your own preference.
