5. Playback
Do I need to change the playback speed when
playing back LP recordings?
During playback, the correct speed will automati-
cally be selected. For more information, please
read the section ‘Selecting the recording speed
(SP or LP)’ in the chapter ‘Manual recording’.
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 back rental videos or older, poor-
er quality cassettes, it may not be possible to
completely filter out picture and sound interfer-
ence. This is not a fault in your machine. Read
the section ‘Manual tracking’.
