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 the VCR'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 your TV?

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 Studio Tracking 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.
