Introduction 5

Welcome!

This DVD/VCR combines a Digital Video Disc (DVD) Player and a Hi-Fi Video Cassette Recorder (VCR) into one unit, allowing you to play DVDs, Audio Compact Discs (Audio CDs), and video cassette tapes from one piece of equipment. The DVD Player of this DVD/VCR will allow you to enjoy better picture quality, clearer sound, and endless playback features available on DVDs. Expanding technology allows you to add options to your viewing - watch a director’s cut of a movie, listen to the producer’s comments, or play your favorite scene over and over again. Hear a movie in different languages, or listen only to the soundtrack. The possibilities are limited only by your choices and the materials available on the DVD. When playing Audio CDs, determine the order in which you want to hear the songs, or play the Disc repeatedly - all while seeing the status of the CD on your television. We hope you enjoy this DVD/VCR and learn to use all of its features. To get the most out of the DVD/VCR, read this owner’s manual carefully. It will describe how you can access all the features listed below.

Features

When referring to this manual, remember...

DVD mode.

Indicates that the feature described is available on some Audio Compact Discs when the DVD/VCR is in DVD mode.

Disc Menus...

Some explanations in this manual are intended to describe the Disc menus. These menus are set by the movie producers or by the music industry, and the menus will vary among Discs. Furthermore, not all Discs are guaranteed to have menus. However, if the Disc has a menu, you can access the Disc menu by pressing the DVD button, then pressing the MENU button on the remote control. (Make sure the DVD/VCR is in DVD mode. Press the DVD/VCR OUTPUT button so that the red DVD light appears on the front of the DVD/VCR.)

DVD Menus...

Some instructions explain how to use the DVD player’s menu to set up features of the DVD player or the Disc. You get to the DVD player menu by pressing the SETUP button on the remote control when playback is stopped. Even if a feature is set up in the DVD player’s menu, it may not be available if the current Disc does not include that feature.

Available Disc Features...

Not all of the features described in this manual may be available on every DVD or Audio CD. If the feature is not available on the Disc, you cannot use the DVD/VCR to make these features available. The “No feature” symbol will appear on the TV screen if you try to set up a feature that is not available on the current Disc or is not available at the current time.

6 Playable Discs

Region Codes

DVDs also must be labelled for ALL regions or for Region 1 in order to be played on this DVD/VCR. You can not play Discs that are labelled for other regions. Look for the symbols below on your DVDs. If these region symbols do not appear on your DVD, you cannot play the DVD in this DVD/VCR.

The number inside the globe refers to a region of the world. Region 1 represents the United States, Canada, upper regions of North America, Bermuda, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and small regions near Australia. A Disc encoded in a specific region format can only be played on DVD players with the same region code. For example, if a Disc is labelled for Region 2, you can not play the DVD on this DVD/VCR.

Color Systems

Different color systems are available throughout the world. The most common color systems are NTSC, which is used primarily in the United States and North America, PAL, and SECAM. This DVD/VCR uses the NTSC color system. Therefore, the Discs that you play must be recorded in the NTSC system. You cannot play Discs recorded in other formats. The color system of the DVD may be listed on the DVD or on the Disc jacket.

Unacceptable Discs

The following Discs cannot be played on this DVD/VCR.

• Compact Disc-Graphic (CD-G) • Compact Disc-Video (CD-V)

The following discs may be played, but only the audio will be available. There will be no picture.

Playable Video Cassette Tapes 7

Playable Video Cassette Tapes

This DVD/VCR is equipped with a High Quality (HQ) system and is compatible with existing Video Home System (VHS) equipment. Philips Consumer Electronics recommends that you use only video cassette tapes which are labeled with the mark. The use of other tapes may result in poor picture quality and excessive deposits on the video heads, which may not be covered by the warranty if damage occurs.The 19 micron head provides a better picture when you view tapes recorded in slow speed (SLP).

DVD/VCR maintenance

● Use only tapes with the mark.

● Remove any light adhesive stick-on notes from the video cas-

sette tape before putting the tape in the DVD/VCR. Removable labels can jam the DVD/VCR.

● Periodic maintenance is required to maintain your DVD/VCR’s

excellent performance. This DVD/VCR has an Automatic Head Cleaner. However, the video heads will require replacement eventually. Only an authorized service center should perform this service.

To prevent recording, break off the tab with a screwdriver.

To allow recording, cover the hole with cellophane tape.

Recording Prevention

Video cassette tapes have record tabs to ensure that recordings are not accidentally erased.

Automatic Operation Features 45

The following tape playback features are available in VCR mode.

Automatic Playback

When you put a tape in the DVD/VCR, the power will come on automatically. If the tape’s record tab is missing, playback will begin. If a timer recording is set, and the TIMER SET light is flashing, the power will not come on automatically when you insert a tape with the record tab intact. If a timer recording is set and the TIMER SET light is flashing, the DVD/VCR will eject the tape if the record tab is missing.

Automatic Rewind, Eject

When a tape is played, fast forwarded, or recorded to its end, the DVD/VCR will rewind the tape, stop, then eject the tape. If the real-time counter memory is set, the DVD/VCR will only rewind the tape to the point at which the counter is set to zero, then stop. The DVD/VCR will not eject the tape automatically. If REPEATPLAY is set to ON, the DVD/VCR will not eject the tape automatically.

Tape Eject

A tape can be ejected with the DVD/VCR power on or off (but the DVD/VCR must be plugged in). If a timer recording is set, and the TIMERSET light is on or flashing, the tape cannot be ejected. To eject the tape, you must first press the TIMER SET button to cancel the timer recording, then press the STOP/EJECT button to remove the tape.To reset the timer recording, insert a tape, then press the TIMERSET button to put the DVD/VCR in standby mode for the timer recording.

Automatic Tracking Adjustment

The DVD/VCR adjusts tracking automatically to give you the best possible picture quality. With some recordings, however, you may get a better picture using the manual tracking controls (see below).

Manual Tracking

To manually adjust the tracking during normal playback and slow motion playback, press the CHANNEL o/p buttons on the DVD/VCR. (The CHANNEL o/p buttons on the remote control will not adjust tracking.) Tracking will return to Automatic Tracking Adjustment when you press the STOP button or insert a tape. You cannot manually adjust the tracking of a Still picture. However, you may press the CHANNEL o/p buttons on the front of the DVD/VCR to remove vertical jitter in a Still picture.

STOP 12:00 AM TV STEREO CH 02

STEREO

2ND AUD

SLP 1:23:45 HIFI

Your DVD/VCR can play recordings broadcast in Hi-Fi (high fidelity) stereo, which produces a crisp, clear sound from two sources. Your DVD/VCR also can play tapes recorded in a second audio (usually, that means your program is recorded in a second language). Of course, your DVD/VCR will play tapes recorded in monaural (single-source) sound as well.

Your DVD/VCR also will record in Hi-Fi stereo or in second audio, so when you play back that tape on the DVD/VCR, it will be in stereo or second audio.

Read the directions on this page to familiarize yourself with your DVD/VCR’s stereo and second audio setups. Then follow the directions on page 47 to record in stereo or second audio and the directions on page 48 to play back tapes recorded in Hi-Fi stereo.

Understanding On-Screen Displays

When you receive a signal from a channel you’re watching, portions of the on-screen display shown below will appear when you press the DISPLAY/STATUS/EXIT button on the remote control.

Specifically…

When a program broadcast in stereo is available, STEREO appears here. When a program broadcast in second audio is available, 2ND AUD

appears here. When a program is available both in stereo and second audio, both

STEREO and 2ND AUD appear here. Even though a program is available in stereo or second audio, you still must program the DVD/VCR to receive or record the program. Follow the directions on page 47.

NOTE: Although a program may be broadcast in both stereo and second audio, you cannot record in both stereo and second audio at the same time.

The indication 2ND AUD or TV STEREO that appears on this side of the status display tells you if your DVD/VCR is programmed to receive a second audio or stereo broadcast (it cannot be programmed to receive both at the same time).

The indication 2ND AUDor STEREO that appears on this side of the status display tells you if the program you’re watching is available in second audio or stereo. This indication is not available during tape playback.

For example, to play Track three, press the Number 3 button. For Tracks numbered 10 and above, press the +10 button (repeatedly, if necessary), then press the Number button of the second digit. For example, to play Track 12, press the +10 button, then press the Number 2 button. For Track 22, press the +10 button twice, then press the Number 2 button. If you enter a Track number that is not available on the Disc, playback will not begin (or the current Track will continue to play).

Using the SKIPHGButtons to Select a Track Press the DVD button, then press the SKIP GGbutton during playback to skip the current Track and move to the next Track. Press the SKIP GGbutton repeatedly to skip subsequent Tracks. The Track number will appear briefly on the TV screen. Press the SKIP

DVD/VCR ejects the tape when the RECORD button is pressed or when the TIMER SET button is pressed to set a timer recording.

• Make sure the tape has a record tab. Details are on page seven.

Poor reception

• You may need to tune your TV again.

The motor (cylinder) rotates even when the tape playback is stopped.

• To enable the quick play mechanism, the cylinder will rotate for about five minutes. This is normal. The quick play mechanism allows the tape mechanism to switch from Stop mode to Play mode in one second.

Direct Broadcast System Hookups

• Watching one TV channel while recording another may not be possible if you have a DBS hookup. You may have to set your TV to channel 03 or 04, then make your channel selections at the DBS.

• With many DBS hookups, if you use accessory audio and video cables to connect your DVD/VCR to your TV, you will have to put your DVD/VCR in Line Input mode (channel 001 or 002).

Line Input mode

• If you accidentally enter Line Input mode (AV FRONT or AV REAR will appear on your TV screen briefly), press the CHANNEL o/p buttons or use the Number buttons to select another channel.

Hi-Fi Stereo Sound

•

During playback, Hi-Fi audio may temporarily revert to normal audio when you adjust tracking. This is normal.

• When connecting the DVD/VCR to a stereo TV, you will only get stereo sound if you use audio cables to connect the DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT jacks on the DVD/VCR to the AUDIO IN jacks on your TV, and if the TV is in Line (Auxiliary) Input mode.

• When you connect the DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT jacks on the DVD/VCR to the AUDIO IN jacks on your TV, the stereo light on the TV might not glow. But, as long as the status display indicates you are receiving a stereo signal, you are receiving a stereo signal. This is normal. Details are on page 46.

• Only tapes recorded in Hi-Fi audio will play back in Hi-Fi audio. Tapes recorded in normal audio will play back in monaural audio.

Cleaning the Video Heads

• Your DVD/VCR automatically cleans the video heads of the VCR each time you insert a tape. However, the heads may become dirty. If so, use a commercially-available head cleaner or have an authorized servicer clean the video heads. Eventually, the heads may need to be replaced.

The playback picture is too dim, too bright, or fluctuates in brightness.

• Some programs may be broadcast with copyright protection technology in order to protect the rights of copyright owners. This technology is used on programs that are recorded on video tapes or Digital Video Discs (DVDs), as well as some programs broadcast by antenna/cable/satellite television channels. Programs broadcast with copyright protection technology may not record clearly. Likewise, if you play a tape that is a recording of a copyright protected program, the picture may not be clear. Tapes of copyright protected programs may have a picture that is dark or dim, or the brightness of the picture may fluctuate. Therefore, you should avoid recording or playing copies of copyright protected programs.
