INTRODUCTION
1
Your VHS video recorder uses advanced technology so that you
can enjoy outstanding picture and sound reproduction.
This instruction manual gives you all the information you need to
operate your video recorder. The time you spend reading
through this manual, and familiarizing yourself with the operation
of your video recorder will be repaid by trouble-free operation.
Some of the other advanced features of your video recorder are:
— 48 TV channel storage capacity.
— 6 timed recordings up to one month in advance, with a
possibility for every day or every week repeated recording.
— Multifunctional fluorescent Display with language selection
(English, German, French or Italian) and tape counter, used time
or time left indication.
— Automatic functions such as automatic tracking control,
automatic rewind, automatic switch-on when a cassette is
loaded and automatic switch to playback when the erase tab of a
cassette has been removed.
— OTR (One Touch Recording)
— All cable networks can be received with the Hyperband tuner.
— After the video recorder has been disconnected from the
mains, the clock will continue to work, and the TV stations will
remain stored on the chosen preselection numbers for one
month.
— Child lock (to stop children looking at prerecorded tapes).
— 3 video heads.
— Perfect still picture.
— Variable slow motion speed, also superslow motion.
— Recording of TXT-subtitles.
— Teletext decdrder (FLOF/FASTEXT-System)
— ‘VPT’-Videorecorder-Programming via Teletext.
— Built-in Video Program System (VPS). VPS adds flexibility to
timed recordings. It controls the video recorder so that timed
recordings will be made at the exact moment the TV programme
starts, even if the start time (and therefore also the stop time)
has been delayed or changed.
— Easy programming and operation using your LCD remote
control.
Eastern European reception (SECAM East)
This video recorder can also receive SECAM East transmissions
of East German TV broadcasting companies.
For the recorded programmes to be reproduced in colour, your
colour TV must also be equipped to receive these transmissions.
Your video recorder will switch automatically from the PAL
transmission standard to Eastern European reception and vice
versa.
Note:
Video cassettes recorded on the French SECAM colour
system can only be reproduced in black-and-white. This is a
technical limitation and not a fault in your video recorder.
