DIGITAL STUDIO PICTURE CONTROL

Philips has developed a system which produces the best possible playback quality. For old and often-used video cassettes, this system reduces interference. For new or high quality cassettes, it emphasises the details.

Picture / sound quality is poor

When playing rental videos or older, poorer quality cassettes, it may not be possible to com- pletely filter out picture and sound interference. This is not a fault in your machine. Read the section ‘Manual tracking’.

3.To stop the playback, press STOP C-Lor STOP/EJECT on the TV-Video Combi.

4.To eject the cassette, press STOP/EJECT when the TV-Video Combi stops the playback.

Automatic switch-off of special functions Many functions (e.g. pause, still picture) switch themselves off automatically after a short time in order to protect the cassette and to save energy.

Do I need to change the playback speed when playing back LP recordings?

During playback, the correct speed will automati- cally be selected. For more information, please read the section ‘Selecting the recording speed (SP or LP)’ in the chapter ‘Manual recording’.
