Product Highlights

• S-VHS-ET
Enjoy best possible picture quality from S-VHS technology while using
VHS tapes.

• Crystal Clear Video
With Crystal Clear Video, Philips has created the perfect combination of
technologies to guarantee the best possible picture restitution:
• Digital Studio Picture Control: Optimises the picture rendition regardless

of the quality of tape used.

• Laser cut Video Heads: They have a better profile for a superior

head/tape contact. Lesser wear guarantees longer life and higher
performance quality.

• Studio Tracking System: It improves the tracking accuracy and reduces

the crosstalk noise.

• Natural Colour: It cleans the colour from any kind of noise and corrects

the spill.

• 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 programme number and the start and end time.
That’s it. Just a matter of seconds.

• SMART Picture

you can exaggerate the contours or suppress the noise from a rental tape.
We offer you the possibility to play your tapes the way you like to see
them.

information system for your most frequently used tapes (up to 14).

through the content of your most frequently used tapes, simply press the
Tape List button on the remote control.The complete tape content overview
will be shown on the TV screen. And you have immediate access to any
recording just by selecting the desired recording (from the information

sets are stored in a memory forever.You can change the timer programmes
