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'.
Playing back NTSC cassettes
Cassettes that have been recorded in the NTSC
standard (for example, American cassettes) can
be played back using this video recorder.
However, this only works on PAL-television sets
that are suitable for a picture frequency of 60Hz.

The following information is displayed on the
screen: e.g.: 0:02:45 shows the counter in hours,
minutes and seconds.
SP/LP: will show the recorded speed of your
cassette
How can I set the counter to '0:00:00'?

' will
CLEAR
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').
