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 completely 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
portion 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').
'-:--' is displayed in the 'REM' counter
This counter will automatically recognise the
length of the tape. In addition, when you put in a
cassette the video recorder must first calculate
the time played.Therefore, '-:--' appears first and
only after the tape has been running for a few
seconds, the correct remaining time will be
shown.
