Product Description
The V711UK video cassette recorder comes with a range of recording options to simplify programming it. VideoPlus Deluxe puts an end to recording confusion. It makes it easy to record TV programmes, using short numerical codes (plus codes) shown in TV listings pages to tell the video recorder when to start and stop recording. Up to six programmes can be recorded from six different channels (terrestrial, cable or satellite) without having to switch channels manually. VideoPlus Deluxe also controls selected brands of analogue, cable and satellite set-top boxes as well as normal, terrestrial TV. Selected ONdigital and Sky Digital set-top boxes may also be controlled. The PDC (Programme Delivery Control) feature means you receive signals transmitted directly from TV stations making for accurate recordings even if listed viewing times change. The video will only record when the programme starts, even if times have changed. Many TV stations now offer this service. On-screen programming allows manual programming for setting the timer if you don't have VideoPlus codes on hand. OneTouch Record and a 6-event timer are also available.
Using the Toshiba V711UK is as easy as programming it. Features such as 60-second rewind (E180), Front A/V inputs, index search, NexTView Link and Icon on-screen display make it easy to set up and use. Auto Set-Up automatically tunes in all channels in the correct order on TVs and video recorders (BBC 1 on Channel 1 etc.) and suggests solutions to common problems, such as "Check aerial is connected". Auto Clock Checking automatically sets the date and time on video recorders and checks it daily at 8am. It also automatically corrects for British Summer Time or after a power cut.
The recorder has three SCART connectors--the 21-pin universal connecting cable socket system used for audio/video components in Europe, to transmit RGB, composite video, S-VHS, mono and stereo sound (they're also known asPeritel or Euroconector). A SCART lead is included. The Eco Mode turns off the clock display when video recorder is on standby, and there is NTSC playback. The dimensions of the V711UK are (w)430 x (h)95.5 x (d)299 mm
