Product Highlights

• Digital Studio Picture Control

Digital Studio Picture Control keeps checking the quality of your videotapes and reproduces the best possible picture performance. Philips’ Digital Studio Picture Control optimises the playback quality. It measures the characteristics of the tape, adapts the resolution and reduces the picture noise.

• Automatic Satellite Recording

You want to record a programme from your satellite receiver or any other external device when you’re not at home, or while you watch another programme at the same time? And you want to set your receiver to come on at a specific time?

Just activate the “RECORD PREPARED MODE”, put the set in standby and programme the desired timer on your satellite receiver – and upon activation of the satellite receiver, the set will start the recording simultaneously.
