Product Highlights
• Easy Link / NexTView Link
What would you say if your VCR could be installed automatically
just by connecting it to yourTV?
Wouldn't it be nice if the TV could switch on automatically when
you use the VCR?
Wouldn't it be ideal if, after having surfed through the Electronic
Programme Guide, you could programme the VCR's timer by just
selecting the film you want and without leaving the TV remote
control?
This is not a dream.This is NexTView Link.
• Crystal Clear Video
With this unique feature, our engineers have put all their
knowledge on the drawing board.The result?
• New laser cut video heads: You have the ultimate in head
technology and an extended life duration.
• Digital StudioTracking system:A guarantee that the head will not
drift away from the track and therefore that your picture will be
noise-free.
• Natural Colours: Thanks to a sophisticated Noise-Reduction
circuit, the colours look brighter and are virtually noise free.
• Digital Studio Picture Control: Regardless of the tape quality you
use, we make sure that you get the optimum picture quality out
of it.
• SMART Picture
With SMART picture, you can adapt the picture to your own
preference: you can exaggerate the contours on this cartoon or
suppress the noise from that rental tape. We offer you the
possibility to play your tapes the way you like to see them.
• Auto Seek Modulator
Your VCR will automatically search for the best frequency to tune
the modulator to.This guarantees the best possible picture on your
TV set.

Should we say it? Our remote-controls can communicate with
more than 190 different brands ofTVs.
