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.

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.

- 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 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).
