Product Highlights
• Turbo Drive
Turbo Drive is not only a synonym for winding and rewinding at very high
speed.It also stands for other high performance Deck features.The builtin Head Cleaner removes dirt from the video heads each time you put in
a cassette.The new Dirty Head Warning feature will display a message
on the TV screen whenever it is recommended to use a cleaning tape to
overcome severe dirt coating.In addition a Tape Position Indicator shows
on your TV screen the progress of winding and rewinding of the tape in
real time.
• S-VHS-ET
Enjoy best possible picture quality from S-VHS technology while using
VHS tapes.
• Crystal Clear Video
With Crystal Clear Video,Philips has created the perfect combination of
technologies to guarantee the best possible picture restitution:
• Digital Studio Picture Control:Optimises the picture rendition regardless
of the quality of tape used.
• Laser cut Video Heads: They have a b etter profile for a superior
head/tape contact.Lesser wear guarantees longer life and higher
performance quality.
• Studio Tracking System:It improves the tracking accuracy and reduces
the crosstalk noise.
• Natural Colour:It cleans the colour from any kind of noise and corrects
the spill.
• 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-VHSrecording gives you the real cinema feel.
• Tape Manager
Tape Manager gives a dedicated number to any new tape inserted in the
VCR.Each time you make a recording on that cassette,the VCR will
download the programme title (if available from the broadcaster) and
will store it in the VCR’s memory.If the title wasn’t available,the date of
recording and the programme number are stored instead.Tape Manager
offers you the possibility to add or remove cassettes from the system and
to find or edit the titles easily.
• T urbo Timer
Is Timer Programming complicated? No!
Is Timer Programming time consuming? No!
Just push the Turbo Timer button on the remote control.The display of
your VCR asks you then for the start and end time as well as the
programme’s number.That’s it.Just a number of seconds.
• Flying Erase Head
Give a professional touch to your video editing.The flying erase head
makes sure that transition points between recordings are distortion-free.
