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 record and the playback quality. It measures the characteristics of the tape, adapts the record characteristics/resolution and reduces the picture noise.

• SMART Picture

With this unique feature, you can adapt the picture to your own preference: you can enhance the contours on a cartoon or suppress the noise from a rental tape.We offer you the possibility to play your tapes the way you like to see them.

• Turbo Timer

Is Timer Programming complicated? No!

Is Timer Programming time consuming? No!

Just push the Turbo Timer button on the remote control and follow the Mini Guide on the rear side of your Remote Control.The display of your VCR asks you for the start and end time as well as the channel number.That’s it. Just a number of seconds.

G-Code

• ShowGuardTM

From now on you never have to programme your timer or channel presets again after you VCR has been disconnected from the power supply for a long time. Due to ShowGuard the timer programmes and channel presets are stored in a memory forever.You can change the timer programmes and channel presets but you can never loose them.

• Record Link

Just activate the ‘RECORD LINK’, put the VCR in standby and programme the desired timer on your satellite receiver - when the satellite receiver switches on, the VCR will start the recording automatically.
