Product Highlights

• Tape List

Philips’Tape List offers a convenient and easy to use tape content information system for your most frequently used tapes (up to 9). You can use any tape, even those with existing recordings.To browse through the content of your most frequently used tapes, simply press the Tape List button on the remote control.The complete tape content overview will be shown on the TV screen. And you have immediate access to any recording just by selecting the desired recording (from the information displayed on your TV screen). On top of that you can edit the titles when- ever you want to.

• 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.

•Turbo Timer with Net Name Detection Is Timer Programming complicated? No!

Is Timer Programming time consuming? No!

Just press the Turbo Timer button on the remote control, select the

TV channel you want to record (directly by its name), set the start and the

end time.That’s it. All it takes is only a few seconds.

• Record Link

Your satellite receiver is equipped with a Timer function?

Connect both your VCR and the satellite receiver with a SCART cable and make use of the „Record Link“ function. You just have to activate it and switch your VCR to std-by. As soon as the satellite receiver gets active, the VCR switches on and is set in the record mode. At the end of the recording it returns automatically to Stand-by.

• SMART Picture

With this unique feature, you are now able to optimise the sharpness and colour, in playback, to your own preference.

• Multibrand TV Remote Control

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