6INTRODUCTION
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 M EG2 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 hilips 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 hilips DVD recorder and
- recordings, made on your hilips 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.
New exciting features
Your new player also offers a range of unique, state-of-
the-art features to enhance your viewing pleasure.
These include:
lDigital Natural Motion, an exciting technology that
smoothes motion in the picture to give you a
natural, more relaxing picture.
lActive Control, a powerful feature that automatically
monitors and corrects the signal coming from your
DVD-Video disc to ensure that you always have the
best possible picture, and that all discs you play have
the same appearance.
