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'.
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 automati-
cally be selected. For more information, please
read the section 'Selecting the recording speed
(SP or LP)' in the chapter 'Manual recording'.
How can I set the counter to '0:00:00'?
You can set the counter to '0:00:00' with .
When you put a cassette in the video recorder,
the counter will automatically reset to '0:00:00'.
CLEAR
The counter does not move
This occurs when there are no recordings on a por-
tion 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').
Scanning and still picture interfere with the
picture quality
• The sound is switched off. This is not your
fault of your video recorder. When the picture
begins to vibrate vertically, stabilize the picture
by pressing or
in the still mode.
• If you press to freeze the picture,
usually there will be noiselines on the TV
screen.This is normal, however, each time you
press the lines will change position.
