DIGITAL STUDIO PICTURE CONTROL
Philips has developed a system which produces the best possible
playback quality.For old and often-used video tapes,this system
reduces interference.For new or high quality video tapes,
it emphasises the details.
Picture/ sound quality is poor
When playing back rental videos or older,poorer quality video
tapes,it may not be possible to completely filter out picture and
sound interference.This is not a fault in your machine.Read the
section Manual Tracking.
Do I need to change the playback speed when playing
back LP recordings?
During playback,the correct speed will automatically be selected.
For more information,please read the section Selecting the
recording speed (SP or LP) in the chapter VCR Manual
Recording.
Playing back NTSC video tapes
This unit can also playback video tapes that have been
recorded in SP [Standard Play] or SLP [Super Long Play] mode
in the NTSC standard (for example,American video tapes).
However,this only works on PAL-television sets that are
suitable for a picture frequency of 60Hz.
Displaying current video 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 video tape
“REM 0:06” will show the remaining time left on the video tape
in hours and minutes.
When you playback an NTSC video tape, the DVD/ VCR 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 video tape in the DVD/VCR,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
video tape.This is not a fault in your DVD/VCR.
The screen shows “-0:01:20”
If you rewind a video tape from the video tape position “0:00:00”,
the counter will show for instance,“-0:01:20” (the video tape 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 video
tape.
In addition,when you put in a video tape the DVD/VCR will first
calculate the time played.Therefore,“-:--” appears first and only
after the video tape has been running for a few seconds,the
correct remaining time will be shown.
Playing back video tapes
You can operate the DVD/ VCR using the remote control or the
buttons on the front of the DVD/VCR.If you press PLAY B,
STOP C,
