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 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+ReWritable (DVD+RW) is the next step in video technology. 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.

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 existing 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 setup).You will find your recorder remarkably easy to use, by way of the On-Screen Display and recorder display, in combination with the remote control.

Box contents

First check and identify the contents of your DVD recorder package, as listed below:

- DVD recorder

- Remote Control Handset with separately-packed batteries

- 2-core power cord

- SCART cable

- S-video cable

- Antenna (aerial) cable

- Audio cable

- Video cable

- DVD+RW disc

- User Manual

- Warranty card

If any item should be damaged or missing, please inform your supplier without delay.

Keep the packaging materials; you may need them to transport your recorder in the future.

Placement

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 objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the recorder.

Cleaning discs

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 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

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.

Connecting to audio equipment

Connecting to A/V receiver or A/V amplifier with digital Multi-channel decoder

The best possible sound quality is obtained by connecting your DVD recorder to an A/V receiver with Multi-channel decoder (Dolby Digital, MPEG 2 and DTS).

Digital Multi-channel sound

Digital Multi-channel connection provides the optimum sound quality. 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.

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 have a digital coaxial audio cable, 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.

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 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).

l Make the appropriate Sound settings for Analogue

Output in the user preferences menu.

Recording

Before you start recording

Recordings on a disc are started from the position of the so-called disc pointer, i.e. the point where the last recording was stopped. From there on earlier recordings may be overwritten without notice, unless the disc is write protected. In this respect your DVD recorder behaves just like a Video Cassette Recorder.

In the Index Picture Screen you can select the point where you want to start your recording. Use the wv (down up cursor) and 5 REVERSE / 6 FORWARD keys. You can see the the current location on the disc bar, indicated by the arrow.

Your DVD recorder always checks the disc that you have inserted:

‰ When a DVD+RW disc is inserted on which

recordings have been made, the Index Picture Screen is shown on your TV screen.

‰ If the inserted disc is a completely empty

recordable disc, the message EMPTY DISC appears on the display.

‰ If the inserted disc is a DVD+RW disc with a

content that is not DVD video compatible (e.g. a data disc), a dialog box is shown with the option to erase or eject the disc. You can only record on this disc after erasing it with the RECORD key.

Timer programming

The DVD recorder needs the following information for every programmed recording:

- the date on which the recording is to be made;

- the channel;

- the start and stop time of the recording;

- VPS/PDC on or off;

- the recording mode (HQ, SP, LP or EP).

The DVD recorder stores all the information mentioned above in a timer block. You can programme up to six timer blocks, one month in advance.

When all Timer blocks are full, the options timer programming and VIDEO Plus+ programming cannot be accessed. For clearing a timer block, see ‘How to clear a timer block’.

Timer programming with ’VIDEO Plus+’

A PlusCode is a number of up to nine digits, printed in most TV guides next to the start time of a TV programme. All the information required for a programming is contained encoded in the PlusCode programming number.

l Select ‘

VIDEO Plus+ programming

’ with v (up

cursor) or w (down cursor).

l Press u (right cursor).

What is ’VPS’/‘PDC’?

With ’VPS/PDC’, the TV station controls the beginning and the length of the programmed recording. This means that the video recorder switches itself on and off at the right time even if a TV programme you have programmed begins earlier or finishes later than expected. Usually the start time is the same as the VPS/PDC time. If, however, in the TV guide, in addition to a TV programmes start time, a different VPS/PDC time is given, e.g.: ’20.15 (VPS 20.14)’, you must enter ’20.14’ as the start time exactly to the minute. If you want to enter a time that differs from the VPS/PDC time, you must switch off ’VPS/PDC’.

Favourite Scene Selection

With the EDIT key on the remote control the Favourite Scene Selection (FSS menu) for editing functionality can be called up. The basic function of any edit operations is to improve accessibility and handling of your recordings. For instance: scenes you do not want to see during playback (e.g. commercials during a movie) can be marked as chapters and made hidden. During playback you will see your recording without the hidden chapters as one sequence.

Note: In between the scenes the picture may freeze for a short moment.

Each title consists of chapters. With the FSS menu any chapter can be made hidden or made visible again. Normally, during recording, chapter markers are inserted automatically every five to six minutes (this setting can be changed in the record settings menu). After the recording is finished, you can manually add and remove chapter markers via the FSS menu. Both automatically generated and manually inserted chapter markers can be removed.

50 TROUBLESHOOTING

Troubleshooting

If it appears that the DVD recorder is faulty, first consult this checklist. It may be that something has been overlooked. Under no circumstances attempt to repair the system yourself; this will invalidate the warranty. Look for the specific symptom(s). Then perform only the actions listed to remedy the specific symptom(s).

Symptom Remedy

The recorder does not respond to the remote control The remote control may be configured for a second DVD recorder.

Hold SELECT + 1 pressed simultaneously to revert to DVD recorder 1. Aim the remote control directly at the sensor on the front of the recorder. Avoid all obstacles which may interfere with the signal path. Inspect or replace the batteries.

No power Check if both plugs of the mains cord are properly connected.

Check if there is power at the AC outlet by plugging in another appliance.

No picture Check if the TV set is switched on.

Check the video connection.

Distorted picture distorted sound Check the disc for fingerprints and clean with a soft cloth, wiping from

centre to edge. Sometimes a small amount of picture distortion may appear. This is not a malfunction.

Recorder does not play disc Ensure the disc label is upwards and that the right disc type is inserted.

Clean the disc. Check if the disc is defective by trying another disc. Check if the region code of the disc matches the region code of the recorder. (pre-recorded DVD discs only). See ‘playing a pre-recorded DVD-Video disc’. Check if Child Lock is activated.

No sound Check audio connections.

If using a HiFi amplifier, try another sound source.

Distorted sound from HiFi amplifier Check to make sure that no audio connections are made to amplifier

phono input. Check to make sure that analogue input of the amplifier is not connected to the digital output of the DVD recorder.

Distorted or black and white picture with DVD or Video CD disc The disc format is not according to the TV set used (PAL/NTSC).

No audio at digital output Check the digital connections.

Check the settings menu to make sure that the digital output is set to on. Check if the audio format of the selected audio language matches your receiver capabilities.

Keys on the DVD recorder do not work Disconnect and reconnect the DVD recorder from the mains. If this

does not solve the problem. Check if the remote control still works. If so, the recorder is probably in trade mode. Disconnect the recorder from the mains and reconnect it while holding / OPEN/CLOSE and

9 STOP pressed.

Recorder does not respond to all operating commands during playback Some operations are not permitted by the disc. Refer to the

instructions in the disc inlay.

TROUBLESHOOTING 51

No new title can be recorded Check if the maximum number of titles has been reached (message: ‘

too

many titles

’ on screen). If so, delete a title next to a free space. Check if the disc is write protected. If so, unlock the disc in the disc settings menu (message: ‘

Disc locked

’ on screen).

Two languages are ‘mixed’ when recording from a stereo VCR When the TV set does not automatically detect the dual-language signal,

use left/right audio balance on the TV set to amplify the one or the other language.

Diagnosis programme

If the recorder is still faulty you can start the Diagnosis Programme in the recorder.

You can operate the Diagnosis Programme by following the instructions step by step.

Instructions

l Unplug the power cord of the recorder. l Press the 2 PLAY key and keep them pressed

while you plug the recorder.

‰ On the display the message BUSY appears

together with a counter. This counter indicates the termination of the test when zero is reached.

‰ After a few minutes the message on the local

display changes over from BUSY to FAIL or to PASS.

‰ If the message FAIL appears on the display,

there is apparently a failure in your recorder and your recorder should be repaired.

l Consult your dealer or the Philips Customer Care

Centre for the nearest Service Repair Shop in your country. The phone number is given in your warranty booklet.

l If the message PASS appears on the display, there is

apparently no failure in your recorder, in this case the failure can be caused by incorrect interpretation of the operating instructions or a wrong disc is used or your recorder is not correctly connected. In this case you should consult your dealer or the Philips Customer Care Centre for further assistance in solving the problem.

l If the problem remains, then consult your Philips

Customer Care Centre.

System limitations

A DVD+RW disc may not play on certain DVD Video players.

A DVD+RW video disc that has been recorded on a different type or brand of recorder can be played, but may not provide all features commonly available to DVD+RW discs, such as the on-screen disc bar, the disc settings menu, the title settings menu, and editing. Refer to ‘Adapt disc format’. If the disc is writeprotected, the status cannot be changed.

When using manual recording, the DVD recorder will warn before adapting the format of the disc or removing non-video data. When using timer recording however, the DVD recorder will always start to record, unless the disc is write-protected. Menus, edits and other data recorded on a different device (e.g. a PC) may be lost.

Because of the Variable Bit Rate, a title map take up less or more space than the overwritten title, even though the duration is the same. As a result, a part of the original title may remain, or a part of the next title may be lost. The maximum deviation is five minutes.

After a power interruption during recording, the Index Picture Screen will may not match with the actual video content on the disc. The last recorded title may be lost.
