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'.
Playing back NTSC cassettes
This video recorder can also play back cassettes
that have been recorded in SP [Standard Play]
or SLP [Super Long Play] mode in the NTSC
standard (for example, American cassettes).
However, this only works on PAL-television sets
that are suitable for a picture frequency of 60Hz.

minutes and seconds.
SP/LP: will show the recorded speed of your
or
cassette
'REM 0:06': will show the remaining time left on
the tape in hours and minutes.
When you play back an NTSC cassette, the
video recorder will show 'REM -:--'.
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'.
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.
