Product Highlights
• Dolby Virtual Surround
Dolby Virtual Surround®, the user-friendly solution for enjoying the best
sound effects at home. Enjoy Dolby Surround effects without the need to
purchase and connect additional rear speakers.
• Crystal Clear Video
With Crystal Clear Video, 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 programme number and the start and end time.
That’s it. Just a matter of seconds.
• Smart Sound
Art the press of one key on the remote control, Smart Sound lets you adapt
the sound rendition to the kind of tape you are watching.You can switch
between Movie, Music, Speech and Personal.
• SMART Picture
With this unique feature, you are now able to optimise the sharpness and
colour, in playback, to your own preference.
