Special functions of your new video recorder

ENGLISH

Your PHILIPS video recorder is not just for recording and playing back VHS cassettes. It also has a whole range of special functions which will make the day-to-day use of your new video recorder much easier.

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.

When you connect your video recorder to your television and plug it into the wall socket, you will be welcomed with a screen menu. All you have to do is follow the instructions in the 'intelligent help line' for the next step. Enjoy the automatic TV channel search/save function and the automatic time setting.

You can operate the main functions on your television using your video recorder remote control, even if your television is not a Philips.

This function automatically transfers all the television channel settings onto your video recorder.

Recordings made on your video recorder can be controlled by an external satellite receiver.

Your video recorder can ascertain which channel is currently playing on your television and record from it at the touch of a button.

The precision tape drive from Philips provides short rewind times and automatic tape length recognition.
