Product Highlights

• 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?

• Digital Studio Tracking System: Now the head always stays on its track!

•Natural Colours: Thanks to a sophisticated Noise-Reduction circuit, the colours look brighter and are virtually noise free.

•Digital Studio Picture Control: This system measures the magnetic characteristics of the tape and activates the digital circuitry accordingly. The resolution is improved and the signal to noise ratio is optimised regardless of the tape quality.

•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.

• Multibrand Remote Control with backlit keys

Should we say it? Our remote-controls can communicate with more than 190 different brands of TVs.

What about getting the cinema thrill and watch a movie in the dark? Just do it! You will love our back-lighted keys then!

• Digital Time Base Corrector

With this feature, the playback picture appears perfectly stable without any visible jitter. Vertical edges are straight, like drawn with a ruler.

The combination with an S-VHS recording gives you the real cinema feel.

• Digital Noise Reduction

This advanced digital signal processing ensures an almost noise-free playback from all kinds of tape (even from old and worn tapes).

• Synchro Edit

With this connection, the edit operation is synchronized and both sets can be started by the press of one button on one set.

• Lanc Edit

This system uses the VASS (VHS Address Search System) information on tape to communicate the exact tape position to the VCR. You’ll be amazed by the precision of your editing.

• Insert Edit with Flying Erase Head

Any wish to insert scenes in existing recordings without any noticeable disturbance? This is only possible with the flying erase head positioned directly on the drum, erasing picture per picture just before they are rewritten by the video heads.

Your inserts will almost meet the studio quality standards!
