Introduction
DVD Video Recorder
DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is the new storage medium
that combines the convenience of the Compact Disc
with the latest advanced digital video technology.
DVD Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG2 data
compression technology to register an entire movie on a
single 5-inch disc. DVD’s variable bitrate compression,
running at up to 9.8 Mbits/second, captures even the
most complex pictures in their original quality.
The crystal-clear digital pictures have a horizontal
resolution of over 500 lines, with 720 pixels (picture
elements) to each line. This resolution is more than
double that of VHS, superior to Laser Disc, and entirely
comparable with digital masters made in recording
studios.
DVD recording is the next step in video technology.
DVD+ReWritable (DVD+RW) uses phase-change media,
the same technology that formed the basis for CD-
ReWritable. A high-power laser is used to change the
reflectivity of the recording layer. This process can be
repeated more than a thousand times. DVD+Recordable
(DVD+R) uses discs based on an organic dye, a
technology pioneered with the successful CD-
Recordable format, to produce discs that keep your data
for a lifetime.
Your Philips DVD recorder is a recorder and player for
digital video discs, with a two-way compatibility to the
universal DVD Video standard. This means that:
- existing pre-recorded DVD Video discs can be
played on your Philips DVD recorder and
- recordings, made on your Philips DVD recorder, can
be played on most DVD Video players and DVD-ROM
drives.
With it, you will be able to record TV programmes or
to edit and archive your own camcorder recordings.
Superb digital picture and sound quality, quick access to
the tracks you have recorded and extensive playback
features contribute to a completely new video
experience.
From now on you will enjoy full-length movies with true
cinema picture quality, and stereo or Multi-channel
sound (depending on the disc, and on your playback set-
up).You will find your recorder remarkably easy to use,
by way of the On-Screen Display on your TV and the
display on the DVD recorder, in combination with the
remote control.

Box contents
First check and identify the contents of your DVD
recorder package, as listed below:
- DVD recorder
- Remote Control Handset with separately-packed
batteries
- 2-core power cord
- SCART cable
- S-video cable
- Antenna (aerial) cable
- Audio cable
- Video cable
- DVD+RW disc
- User Manual
- Warranty card
f any item should be damaged or missing, please inform
your supplier without delay.
Keep the packaging materials; you may need them to
transport your recorder in the future.
Placement
lPlace the recorder on a firm, flat surface.
lKeep away from domestic heating equipment and
direct sunlight.
ln a cabinet, allow about 2.5 cm (1 inch) of free
space all around the recorder for adequate
ventilation.
lThe lense may cloud over when the DVD recorder
is suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings.
Playing a CD/DVD is not possible then. Leave the
DVD recorder in a warm environment for two
hours before use, so the moisture can evaporate.
lThe recorder should not be exposed to dripping or
splashing, no object filled with liquids, such as vases,
should be placed on the recorder.
Cleaning discs
Some problems may occur because the disc inside the
recorder is dirty. To avoid these problems clean your
discs regularly, in the following way:
lWhen a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning
cloth. Wipe the disc from the centre out.
Caution:
Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,
commercially available cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for analogue discs.
Do not use commercially available cleaning discs
to clean the lens, as these discs may damage the
optical unit.
Remote control
Loading the batteries
lOpen the battery compartment cover.
lnsert two 'AA' (LR-6) batteries as indicated inside
the battery compartment.
lClose the cover.
Caution:
Do not mix old and new batteries. Never mix
different types of batteries (standard, alkaline,
etc.). This may reduce the lifetime of the
batteries.

DVD recorder
- Please refer to your TV set, VCR, Stereo System and
any other User Manual(s) as necessary to make the
optimal connections.
- Do not connect the power until all other connections
are made.
- Do not connect your DVD recorder to your TV set
via your VCR, because the video quality could be
distorted by the copy protection system.
- For better sound reproduction you can connect the
recorder audio outputs to your amplifier, receiver,
stereo system or A/V equipment. For this see
‘Connecting to A/V receiver or A/V amplifier’.
Caution:
Do not connect the recorder’s audio output to
the phono input of your audio system in order to
avoid damage to your equipment.
Connecting to the antenna
lRemove the antenna (aerial) cable plug from your
TV set and insert it into the antenna socket at the
back of the DVD recorder.
lPlug one end of the antenna (aerial) cable supplied (1)
into the TV socket on the DVD recorder and the other
end into the antenna input socket on your TV set.
The antenna connection transmits TV channels through
the Recorder to the TV, you still need a video
connection to send DVD playback from the Recorder to
the TV. See ‘Connecting to a TV’ set.
Connecting to a TV set
To obtain the highest possible picture and sound quality
from your TV set it is recommended to use the SCART
connector on both DVD recorder and TV set.
lConnect the bottom SCART connector (EXT 1) to
the TV set, using the SCART cable supplied (2) as
shown in the drawing. f your TV set is equipped
with EasyLink or Cinema Link, make sure you use
the correct SCART connector. For this refer to the
user manual of your TV set.
f your TV set is not equipped with a SCART connector,
you can connect the DVD recorder with the S-video
(Y/C) sockets.
S-video (Y/C) connection
lConnect the S-video output socket to the
corresponding input socket on the TV set, using the
supplied S-video cable (3).
lConnect the audio Left (white) and Right (red)
output sockets to the corresponding sockets on the
TV set using the audio cable supplied (5).
f your TV set is not equipped with S-video sockets, then
connect the DVD recorder with the CVBS sockets to
your TV set.
Video (CVBS) connection
lConnect the Video (CVBS) output socket (yellow)
to the corresponding input socket on the TV set
using the video cable supplied (4).

Connecting to audio equipment
Connecting to A/V receiver or A/V
amplifier with digital Multi-channel
decoder
The best possible sound quality is obtained by
connecting your DVD recorder to an A/V receiver with
Multi-channel decoder (Dolby Digital, MPEG 2 and DTS).
Digital Multi-channel sound
Digital Multi-channel connection provides the optimum
sound quality. For this you need a Multi-channel A/V
receiver that supports one or more of the audio types
supported by your DVD recorder (MPEG 2, Dolby
Digital and DTS). For this you can check the receiver
manual and the logos on the front of the receiver.
lConnect the recorder’s digital audio output to the
corresponding input on the receiver. Use a digital
coaxial cable (7) or a digital optical audio cable (8).
f you do not own a digital coaxial audio cable (not
supplied), you may use the supplied video cable (4).
Note :
If the audio type of the digital output does not match the
capabilities of your receiver, the receiver will produce a
strong, distorted sound. The audio type of the DVD disc in
play is displayed in the Status indow, when changing the
language. 6 Channel Digital Surround Sound via digital
connection can only be obtained if your receiver is equipped
with a Digital Multi-channel decoder.
f you cannot connect your DVD recorder to an A/V
receiver with Multi-channel decoder, choose one of the
following alternatives.
Connecting to a receiver equipped with
two channel digital stereo (PCM)
lConnect the recorder’s digital audio output to the
corresponding input on your receiver. Use the
supplied video (CVBS) cable (7) or an optional
digital optical audio cable (8).
lAfter installation you will need to activate PCM on
the DVD recorder’s digital output (see ‘User
Preferences’).
Connecting to a receiver equipped with
Dolby Pro Logic
