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'.

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

standard (for example, American cassettes) can
be played back using this video recorder.
