AIntroduction
De r Philips customer,
Instruction manuals are usually very dry since they are technically-oriented and often poorly
translated. I have therefore been employed by Philips to help you.
Allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Phil. I will be guiding you through the instruction manual and helping you get to
know your new DVD recorder. At appropriate points along the way, I will be providing you with
the following information:
Question: (?)
Here I will be explaining
seemingly unimportant
things.
Tip
Here I will be giving you
instructions on functions
that will make it easier for
you to use your DVD
recorder.
Problem
Here I'll help you identify
the cause of a problem and
find a solution.
I hope you have lots of fun.
Phil
P.S. If you have any problems operating the machine, please read the section entitled 'Before you
call an engineer'. If this doesn't help you to resolve the problem, please call the customer
support service for your country.
The telephone numbers and e-mail addresses can be found on the last page of this instruction
manual.

Welcome to the growing f mily of owners of PHILIPS equipment.
Thank you for buying a DVDR 70/051 .
Please take the time to read this operating manual before using your DVD recorder. It contains
important information on how to set up and operate the machine.
The video recorder should not be turned on immedi tely fter tr nsport tion from a
cold to a hot area or vice versa, or in conditions of extreme humidity.
Wait at least three hours after transporting the machine. The DVD recorder needs this time
to acclimatise to its new environment (temperature, relative humidity, etc.).
Your Philips te m hopes your
new DVD recorder will bring you
m ny ye rs of enjoyment.
Wh t is DVD?
DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is a new storage medium that combines the
convenience of the compact disc with the latest digital video technology. DVD
video uses modern MPEG2 data compression technology that enables an
entire feature film to be stored on a single five inch disc.
How good is the resolution of DVD comp red with VHS?
The razor-sharp digital images have a resolution of more than 500 lines of 720
pixels per line. This is more than twice as high as VHS and is even better than
the laser disc. Its picture quality is easily comparable to the digital masters
produced in recording studios.
Wh t c n DVD+RW do?
DVD+ReWritable uses phase change media, the same technology on which
rewritable CDs are based. A high-performance laser is used to change the
reflective properties of the recording layer; this process can be repeated more
than a thousand times.
Wh t c n the DVD+R do?
DVD+R (write-once DVD). Unlike a DVD+RW disc, this disc can only be
written to once. If it is not finalized after a recording, further recordings can
be added to it. Old recordings can be deleted but can no longer be
overwritten. The deleted titles are marked 'Deleted title'.
Before this disc can be played in a DVD player, it must be finalised in the
DVD recorder. Once this process is complete, no further recordings can be
added.
Wh t c n my DVD recorder do?
Your Philips DVD recorder is a machine for recording and playing back digital
video discs with "two-way" compatibility with the universal DVD video
standard. This means:
•) existing DVD video discs can be played on the recorder.
•) Recordings made on your DVD recorder can be played on other DVD
video players and DVD ROM drives. ?

Region l code
Since DVD films are not normally released in all parts of the world at the same time, all DVD
players have a specific regional code. Discs can be given a regional code. If the regional codes
differ between the player and the disc, playback is not possible.
DVDs must be marked 'ALL' for all regions or '2' for region 2 to work in this machine. If the DVD
is marked with a different region, it cannot be played in this DVD recorder.
The number within the globe represents the region.
Regional code 2 represents:
Europe, Japan, South Africa, Middle East (incl. Egypt).

from the power supply.
If you disconnect the DVD recorder from the mains, make sure to take the plug out of the wall
socket and not just remove the connector from the 4MAINS socket at the back of the unit.
Children could seriously injure themselves as the free end of the cable may still be live.
These operating instructions have been printed on non-polluting paper.

When installing the recorder in a cupboard ensure there is a gap of approximately 2.5 cm (1
inch) around the recorder to enable air to circulate freely and prevent overheating.
Make sure that air can circulate freely through the ventilation slots on the machine. The machine
should be placed on a firm surface.
Make sure that no objects or liquids enter the video recorder. Do not place vases or similar on
the DVD recorder. If you spill liquid in the recorder, immediately disconnect it from the power
supply and call after-sales service for advice.
Keep the DVD recorder away from radiators and other heat sources and protect from direct
sunlight.
Do not place any combustible objects on the device (candles, etc.).
Make sure that children do not place any foreign objects in any of the openings.
Cle ning the discs
Some malfunctions (frozen or distorted picture and broken sound for example) are due to dirt
on the disc. To avoid such problems you should clean your discs regularly.
1Dirty discs should be cleaned with a soft cloth. Always wipe from the
middle to the edge.
2Do not use any solvents such as benzine, thinners, commercially
available cleaning agents or antistatic sprays designed for vinyl records.
C n I use CD lens cle ner in the DVD recorder?
This optical unit (laser) of the DVD recorder operates at a higher power level
than the ones in normal DVDs and CD players so CD lens cleaner discs may
actually damage it.
CD lens cle ner discs should therefore not be used. ?

Speci l functions of your DVD recorder
Your PhilipsDVD recorder has a number of special functions to make it easier to use and to
enhance your enjoyment.
Philips provides the best possible connection between your DVD recorder and other home
cinema equipment.
The DVD recorder is controlled by external devices (receivers, TV sets and so on) via Cinema Link
and is automatically set to the right system settings.
This function automatically transfers all the television channel settings onto your DVD recorder
via the scart cable ( EXT 1 TO TV-I/O socket).
Recordings made on your DVD recorder can be controlled from an external satellite receiver.
At the touch of a button your DVD recorder, even though it is switched off, will check which
channel is currently playing on your television and record it.
This screen tells you what's on the disc. Each index screen represents a recording. On the right
hand side of the screen you can also see a disc indicator that shows the position and length of the
current recording on the disc in a graphic format.
This function enables you to simply delete commercials or other scenes. The relevant scenes are
marked and skipped as required. This information is stored on the DVD in such a way that
other DVD players will skip the scenes.
MP3 files are highly compressed music files. The data is compressed to 1/10 of the volume of the
original audio material using a special process. This means that 10 hours of music can be stored on
a single CD.
These music CDs can be played on this machine.
Normally a recording is made at the current disc position. This is the same as for a video
cassette, in the middle of the tape for example. By holding down the REC/OTR nbutton, the
recording will be made at the end of all the other recordings to avoid overwriting previous
recordings.
New recordings on DVD+R discs are always added after all existing recordings.
Using your DVD recorder you can record from an RGB source such as a satellite receiver using a
SCART input ( EXT 2 AUX-I/O socket). Video signals for the colours R(Red), G(Green) and
B(Blue) are transmitted via separate channels. This reduces the interference that occurs with
standard video cables.
The Philips DVD recorder can play back pre-recorded DVDs and CDs. DVDs recorded using
this DVD recorder can be played back on current and future DVD players.

2Open the battery compartment, insert the batteries as shown and
then close the battery compartment.
The remote control is now ready to use.
Its range is approximately 5 to 10 meters.
'Aim' correctly
In the following sections, you will need the remote control for the first time.
Aim the remote control at the DVD recorder and not at the TV set. Tip
Connecting your DVD recorder to the TV
set
The necessary cable connections must be made before you can record or playback TV
programmes using your DVD recorder.
Connect the DVD recorder directly to your TV set. If there is a video recorder in between
the picture quality may be poor.
We recommend that you use a scart cable to connect your TV set and DVD recorder.
Wh t is sc rt c ble?
The scart or Euro AV cable serves as the universal connector for picture,
sound and control signals. With this type of connection, there is practically no
loss of quality in picture or sound transmission. ?
When you install your DVD recorder for the first time, select one of the following options:
