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'.

2.Press K B to view the tape.

3.To stop the playback, press L C or C/A on the video recorder.

4.To eject the cassette, press C/A when the video recorder stops the playback.

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 auto- matically be selected. For more information, please read the section 'Selecting the recording speed (SP or LP)' in the chapter 'Manual recording'.

Playing back NTSC cassettes

Cassettes that have been recorded in the NTSC standard (for example, American cassettes) can be played back using this video recorder.

However, this only works on PAL-television sets that are suitable for a picture frequency of 60Hz.

Displaying current tape position

The following information is displayed on the screen: e.g.: 0:02:45 shows the counter in hours, minutes and seconds.

SP/LP: will show the recorded speed of your cassette

'REM 0:06': will show the actual amount of play- ing/recording time left on the tape in hours and minutes.

When you play an NTSC cassette, the video recorder will show 'REM -:--'.

How can I set the counter to '0:00:00'? You can set the counter to '0:00:00' with

CLEAR .

When you put a cassette in the video recorder, the counter will automatically reset to '0:00:00'.

The counter does not move

This occurs when there are no recordings on a portion of a tape. This is not a fault in your video recorder.

The screen shows '-0:01:20'

If you rewind a cassette from the tape position '0:00:00', the counter will show for instance, '-0:01:20' (the cassette was rewound to 1 minute and 20 seconds before '0:00:00').

'-:--' is displayed in the 'REM' counter This counter will automatically recognise the length of the tape. In addition, when you put in a cassette the video recorder must first calcu- late the time played. Therefore, '-:--' appears first and only after the tape has been running for a few seconds, the correct playing time will be shown.
