Programming & Record/Playback Features

VCR Plus+™ Programming

Simplifies VCR programming by allowing you to simply enter PlusCode

®

programming numbers found in many published television listings. When
recording begins, your VCR automatically selects the proper TV channel
and program length. Back-up memory logic retains the cable channel
guide map indefinitely even during a power failure or when the VCR is
disconnected from its power source.

One-Touch Record

Record up to 8 hours or to the end of the tape with the touch of a sin­gle button. Each touch of the OTR button adds 30 minutes of additional
recording time.

8-Event/1-Year Smart Programming

Program your VCR for unattended recording of up to 8 separate pro­grams over a full 365-day period. No manual setting, adjusting, or pro­gramming of the calendar function is required.

Remote Control Onscreen Menu Programming

Program by remote control for unattended recording, with programming
instructions onscreen for visual verification. Onscreen menus lead you
through normal, daily, or weekly programming by program number,
channel to be recorded, start and stop times, speed, and date of record­ing by day, month, and year. Pressing the CLEAR button lets you go back
and reprogram over mistakes, and pressing the MENU button at the end
of programming verifies that instructions are locked into memory.

Picture

Digital Auto Tracking System

When tape playback begins, this feature automatically seeks the optimum
tracking position in the tracking range, and the optimum audio signal track­ing position for clearest picture and sound. Buttons on the remote trans­mitter give you manual control should tracking adjustments be necessary.

Auto Head Cleaner

Gently, automatically cleans the video heads each time a tape is inserted
or removed to maintain optimum picture performance during both
recording and playback.

Convenience

Daylight Savings Timer

This menu-driven feature automatically compensates for Daylight Savings
Time changes in early April and late October so you don’t have to reset
the clock twice a year. Simply activate the Daylight Savings Time option
in the Set Clock menu and forget it!

Automatic Channel Setup

The VCR tuner scans through television frequencies, automatically
storing active broadcast channel into memory.Then, only active channels
programmed into memory are tuned using the CHANNEL ▲ ▼ preset
can be repeated whenever desired, should new channels become avail­able. Channels can be manually added or deleted.

181-Channel FS Tuning

The digital quartz tuner can receive up to 181 channels, including UHF,
VHF, and 113 cable channels, without the inconvenience and expense of
a cable company decoder/converter (on non-scrambled cable systems).
Channel tuning is by random access with the remote control transmitter
or scan tuning up and down by remote or at the set.

Clock/Function Display

Continuously alerts you to all important recording and playback conditions,
correct time, counter position, tape speed, channel number, etc.

Bilingual (English/Spanish) Onscreen Function Display

Indicates record/playback functions, channel number, clock setting, date,
counter, programming, one-touch record and record standby, keeping you
alert to the status of all features in a heads-up onscreen display.

Onscreen Real-Time Counter

Unlike the 0000 to 9999 tape counters found in standard VCRs, this unit
incorporates a linear, real-time counter which shows elapse time in hours,
minutes, and seconds.

Timer/Programmer Back-up System

Retains timer programming information for up to 1 full minute in the event
of momentary power interruptions.

Special Effects

15x Forward/Reverse Latching Search

Search in forward or reverse mode at 15 times normal playing speed in SLP.
The Latching Search feature provides continuous forward or reverse search
with a single touch of the control. A second touch stops the search operation
and returns the unit to the Play mode.

Remote Control

Unified Infrared Remote

Controls all operating features and functions of this VCR and any Philips
Magnavox TV with armchair convenience–including all special features,
random channel access, and channel scan up/down. An LED on the front
panel of the VCR blinks when a command is received from the remote,
providing a virtual “handshake” for confirmation.
