General

• 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.

• Front AV with Synchro Edit
