Toshiba W-808 User Manual

One-Touch Recording

A convenient and quick way to record an event without having to program the timer. By choosing taping duration from the menu, the viewer can set up to four hours of recording in 30-minute increments. There is an automatic shutoff at end of RECORD period.

ProDrum with Flying Pre-Amp

Pre-amp location inside the head drum protects signal from degradation and helps deliver a clearer picture and crisper audio.

Quad-Mode Shuttle

Front-mounted control allows viewer to quickly access or cue up to segments of recorded material. The Quad-Mode Shuttle operations:

1. In "PLAY" mode: variable-speed scanning in either forward or reverse.

2. In "PAUSE" mode: variable-speed slow-motion in either forward or reverse.

3. In "STOP" mode: high-speed fast forward or rewind.

4. In "FF/REW" mode: high-speed cue or review.

Super High Speed FF/REW

Rewind and Fast Forward modes are faster than most VCRs. With speeds up to 400X Toshiba VCRs can FF/REW a T120 tape in 60 seconds. An integrated slow-down feature kicks in near the end of the tape to prevent damage to tapes.

S-VHS ET

S-VHS ET allows you to make high quality video recordings with a normal VHS tape. S-VHS will record up to 400 lines as compared to 240 lines on a standard VHS VCR. When recording and playing, SVHS will separate the Luminance and Chrominance portions of the signal. This produces better detail, truer colors and reduced generation loss when dubbing or editing. This will assure the best possible recordings when recording from new sources such as Digital satellite systems and high-8 and digital camcorders. NOTE.S-VHS tapes will not play on standard VCRs.

S-VHS Quasi Playback (SQPB)

Selected Toshiba VCRs that offer SQPB will allow tapes that were recorded in an S-VHS deck to be played back without a significant reduction in quality. This compatibility is a direct result of Toshiba’s 19-Micron Head assembly and assures customers that both S-VHS and standard VHS tapes can be viewed.

Universal Remote

Since this remote is pre-programmed to control a wide variety of VCRs and TVs, the need for multiple remotes is eliminated. Most equipment can be operated from this sophisticated command center.

VCR Plus+C3™

User enters code from TV Guide or newspaper listings and recording is programmed. The C 3 feature will then turn on the cable box at the proper time and tune to the correct channel.

6-Head / 19-Micron

Dedicated 19 and 26-micron heads ensure best possible recording and play-back from tapes in the SLP (slower, 6-hour) or SP mode. Traditional 4 head/19 micron players cannot program the high-quality recording and playback which dedicated 19 and 26-micron heads offer.

KEY FEATURES:

W808

Auto Head Cleaner

On many models, heads are automatically cleaned — picture quality is consistently clear and unit durability is enhanced. A polypropylene pad automatically cleans the heads whenever a tape is loaded or unloaded and when the machine is turned on.

Digital Auto Tracking

Ensures most precise tracking during playback. System continuously and automatically adjusts tape’s tracking across the heads during play.

DNR Pro™

This feature is the marriage of two technologies — Digital Noise Reduction and Color Signal Enhancement. The DNR circuit detects and removes picture noise, thus restoring images from old and wellworn tapes to nearly original clarity. The CSE circuit restores color sharpness and reduces color bleed so that edges are sharp and defined.

Front A/V Inputs

Front-mounted jacks provide easy-to-use connections for additional VCR, camcorder, video games, etc.

Indexing

Feature allows user to quickly advance to each of the programs or segments recorded on a tape. Unit inscribes an inaudible index mark on the videotape each time the RECORD mode is used. After pressing the Index button, the user can then select the number of the desired segment or, if the number is unknown, press "FF" or "RWD", and the machine will stop at each segment.

Ion-coated Heads

This technology applies a negatively-charged ion coating to the head drum. This will cause it to repel the dust that would normally adhere to typical head drums.

Multilingual OSD

Allows viewer to read menu in any of several languages to ensure user-friendly programming.
