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.
• Tape Manager
Tape Manager gives a dedicated number to any new tape inserted in the
VCR. Each time you make a recording on that cassette, the VCR will
download the programme title (if available from the broadcaster) and will
store it in the VCR’s memory. If the title wasn’t available, the date of
recording and the programme number are stored instead.Tape Manager
offers you the possibility to add or remove cassettes from the system and
to find or edit the titles easily.
• Turbo Timer
Is Timer Programming complicated? No!
Is Timer Programming time consuming? No!
Just push the Turbo Timer button on the remote control.The display of your
VCR asks you then for the start and end time as well as the programme’s
number.That´s it. Just a number of seconds.
• 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.
