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'.

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 automatically be selected. For more information, please read the section 'Selecting the recording speed (SP or LP)' in the chapter 'Manual recording'.
Displaying current tape position
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'?
You can set the counter to '0:00:00' with
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').
