Product Highlights
• Tape Manager
On which tape did I record that "James Bond" film?
Tape manager is the answer.
When you put a new tape in your VCR, it is given a dedicated
number and any recording done on the tape is stored in theVCR's
memory. The title and the date of recording are stored as well.
When you search for a particular film, you just need to consult the
Tape Manager to know on what tape it has been recorded.
• 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

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