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'.
