Toshiba W808 VCR User Manual


 
One-Touch Recording
A convenient and quick way to record an event without having to pro-
gram the timer. By choosing taping duration from the menu, the view-
er 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 degrada-
tion 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, S-
VHS will separate the Luminance and Chrominance portions of the
signal. This produces better detail, truer colors and reduced genera-
tion 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 well-
worn 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.
