Introduction
DVD Video Recorder
DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is the new storage medi m
that combines the convenience of the Compact Disc
with the latest advanced digital video technology.
DVD Video ses state-of-the-art MPEG2 data
compression technology to register an entire movie on a
single 5-inch disc. DVD’s variable bitrate compression,
r nning at p to 9.8 Mbits/second, capt res even the
most complex pict res in their original q ality.
The crystal-clear digital pict res have a horizontal
resol tion of over 500 lines, with 720 pixels (pict re
elements) to each line. This resol tion is more than
do ble that of VHS, s perior to Laser Disc, and entirely
comparable with digital masters made in recording
st dios.
DVD+ReWritable (DVD+RW) is the next step in video
technology. DVD+RW ses phase-change media, the
same technology that formed the basis for CD-
ReWritable. A high-power laser is sed to change the
reflectivity of the recording layer. This process can be
repeated more than a tho sand times.
Yo r Philips DVD recorder is a recorder and player
for digital video discs, with a two-way compati ility
to the niversal DVD Video standard. This means that:
- existing pre-recorded DVD Video discs can be
played on yo r Philips DVD recorder and
- recordings, made on yo r Philips DVD recorder, can
be played on existing DVD Video players and
DVD-ROM drives.
With it, yo will be able to record TV programmes or
to edit and archive yo r own camcorder recordings.
S perb digital pict re and so nd q ality, q ick access to
the tracks yo have recorded and extensive playback
feat res contrib te to a completely new video
experience.
From now on yo will enjoy f ll-length movies with tr e
cinema pict re q ality, and stereo or M lti-channel
so nd (depending on the disc, and on yo r playback set-
p).Yo will find yo r recorder remarkably easy to se,
by way of the On-Screen Display and recorder display,
in combination with the remote control.

The best possible so nd q ality is obtained by
connecting yo r DVD recorder to an A/V receiver with
M lti-channel decoder (Dolby Digital, MPEG 2 and DTS).
Digital Multi-channel sound
Digital M lti-channel connection provides the optim m
so nd q ality. For this yo need a M lti-channel A/V

If yo do not have a digital coaxial a dio cable, yo may
se the s pplied 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.

*Note:
In a TV - DVD recorder - Set top box configuration use the ‘TV/DVD’ switch to switch back and forth between Set top box reception and DVD recorder reception.
This only functions when you used a Scart cable to connect the DVD recorder to your TV set and if your TV set responds to this switch-over. This function is useful
when, for example, you want to watch a channel from the Set top box on your TV and make at the same time a recording from another source.
