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 auto-
matically 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').
