Introduction

English

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 CDReWritable. 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 CDRecordable format, to produce discs that keep your data for a lifetime.

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 setup).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-ofthe-art features to enhance your viewing pleasure.

These include:

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.

l Digital Natural Motion, an exciting technology that

smoothes motion in the picture to give you a natural, more relaxing picture.

l Active 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.

Placement

Some problems may occur because the disc inside the recorder is dirty. To avoid these problems clean your discs regularly, in the following way:

l When 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

l Place the recorder on a firm, flat surface. l Keep away from domestic heating equipment and

direct sunlight.

l In a cabinet, allow about 2.5 cm (1 inch) of free

space all around the recorder for adequate ventilation.

l The 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.

l The recorder should not be exposed to dripping or

splashing, no object filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the recorder.

English

l Open the battery compartment cover. l Insert two 'AA' (LR-6) batteries as indicated inside

the battery compartment.

l Close 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.

Installation

English

Connections - back side of your 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

l Remove the antenna (aerial) cable plug from your

TV set and insert it into the antenna socket at the back of the DVD recorder.

l Plug 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.

l If your TV set or monitor is equipped with a

connector, use the BNC to SCART conversion cable (9). Connect the R, G, B and composite sync plugs to the corresponding connectors of the DVD recorder. Each plug carries a colour indicating its function. Connect the mini-jack to the status connector. Connect the set/monitor. Make sure the

SCART plug to the TV

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, monitor or projector.

To obtain the highest possible picture quality it is recommended to use the VGA connector or alternatively the BNC connectors on the DVD recorder. Only this way you will be able to enjoy the advantages of Digital Natural Motion and Active Control.

l If your monitor or projector has VGA input,

connect it to the DVD recorder using a VGA cable (10) (not supplied). To use this connection, you will need to switch on progressive video output of the DVD recorder. This is explained in the section ‘User preferences – Picture settings’, but first you need to finish the installation procedure.

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.

If 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)

l Connect 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).

l After 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

l Connect 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).

If 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 Window, 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.

l Connect the recorder to the TV set and connect

the recorder’s audio Left and Right output sockets to the corresponding inputs on the Dolby Pro Logic Audio/Video receiver, using the audio cable supplied (6).

*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.
