the characteristics of the tape, adapts the resolution and reduces the
picture noise.
• Turbo Timer
Is Timer Programming complicated? No!
Is Timer Programming time consuming? No!
Just push the Turbo Timer button on the remote control.The display of
your VCR asks you then for the start and end time as well as the
programme’s number.That´s it. Just a number of seconds.

VCR.There’s no need to wait endlessly for the tuning of all channels or to
spend time re-sorting the presets in the right order.You just connect both
VCR and TV with a Scart cable and plug the mains.That’s all! On top of
that features like Automatic On/Off switching of the TV when the VCR is
used, Direct Record and automatic 16x9 switching make the daily life of
the VCR user much easier.
