As part of the Optimus Professional Series, your Optimus Model 55 Four-Head
Stereo Hi-Fi VHS VCR offers some of the most advanced features available in
home video cassette recorders.  It delivers CD-quality hi-fi stereo sound 
for audio/video or audio-only recordings.  The Model 55's full-function 
remote control and on-screen programming make the VCR easy to use.  Other 
features include:

Trilingual On-Screen Programming-Provides helpful instructions on the TV 
screen for setting the clock and program timers.  You can select English, 
French, or Spanish instructions.

timer memory settings by providing up to 1 hour of backup power in case a 
power failure occurs or the power cord is accidentally unplugged.

Four Double-Azimuth Video Heads-Provide superior picture quality and special
effects compared to standard single-azimuth four-head VCRs.
