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
English
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.
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 SCART plug to the TV
set/monitor. Make sure the SCART input of the TV

*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.
