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’.
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’.
