Product Highlights
• Digital Studio Picture Control
Philips’ Digital Studio Picture Control optimises the playback picture quality.
It measures the tape’s performances, adapts the resolution and reduces the
picture noise.
You obtain the best possible picture quality on your screen regardless of the tape
you use.
• New Turbo Drive deck
The new Turbo Drive deck offers:
Speed
65-second ultra fast rewind speed.
Reliability
To guarantee an optimum reliability, the heads are automatically cleaned each time
a cassette is inserted or ejected.
Intelligence
The Tape Position Indicator, in wind and re-wind situations, displays the accurate
position of the tape on the screen and indicates progress by means of
a moving/blinking arrow. At any time, you can follow the tape movement on
the screen.
• Turbo Timer
„Turbo Timer“ is a real time-saver for programming a timer for the next 24 hours:
• No need to switch the TV „on“
• All necessary information visible on the VCR display
• 1 minute accuracy
• Minimum of steps
• All steps are carried out using the remote control avoiding the need for bending
down to the VCR.
• Record Link
„Record link“ is the answer if you want to record a programme from your satellite
receiver or any other external device when you are not at home.
To prepare for a recording only the timer of the satellite receiver needs to be
programmed. The VCR will automatically detect the activation of the satellite receiver
via the Scart cable connection and will start recording simultaneously. If the receiver
gets deactivated again, the recording will also stop.
