straight line.
● Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray

vary among DVDs. Movie producers set these menus, and not all DVDs
have menus. But, if the DVD has a menu, access the Disc Menu by pressing
the DISC MENU button on the remote control. Details are on page 28.
DVD Recorder Menus...
Some instructions explain how to use the DVD Recorder’s menu (or the
System Menu or Menu Bars) to set up features of the DVD Recorder or
the Disc. You get to the DVD Recorder Menu by pressing SYSTEM MENU
on the remote control. Details are on page 25. Even if a feature is set up in
the DVD Recorder’s menu, it will not be available if the current Disc does
not include that feature.
Available Disc Features...
Features in this manual may not be available on every Disc. If the feature is
not available, you cannot use the DVD Recorder to make the feature available. An “X” will appear in the top left corner of the TV screen if you try
to access a feature that is not available on the current Disc.

Determining the best possible connection...
The capabilities of your existing equipment, especially your TV, will determine your connection possibilities.
However, the following guidelines describe which options provide the best picture and sound quality.
Component Video provides the best picture quality. Progressive Scan Component Video has
the highest quality, but use it only if the TV has Progressive Scan. Details are on page 10.
S-Video provides excellent picture quality. Details are on page 11.
Composite Video (a yellow Video jack) provides good picture quality. Details are on page 12.
Your TV may have only an RF-style jack, usually labeled Antenna In or 75 ohm. Connect the
supplied RF coaxial cable to the TV jack on the DVD Recorder and to the Antenna In jack on
your TV. Connect your antenna or Cable TV signal to the ANTENNA jack on the DVD
Recorder as shown on page 10.
You will need an RF modulator in order to view the DVD Recorder at your TV. Set the RF
modulator to channel 3 or 4, then set the TV to the same channel. Ask your dealer for details
on RF modulator availability and compatibility.
Digital audio connections provide the clearest sound. Connect one of the DVD Recorder’s
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks (COAX (coaxial) or OPTICAL) to your Stereo for the best
sound quality. Details are on page 14.
If digital connections are not possible, connect the DVD Recorder’s red and white AUDIO
OUT jacks to the Audio In jacks of your Stereo or TV. Details are on pages 10-13.
Before you begin...
● Refer to the manuals of your TV, Stereo, or other equipment as necessary. Note the style of jacks and
connectors on the other equipment. Determine how to choose different Audio and Video In channels
on your other equipment so you can see and hear the DVD Recorder on the TV, Stereo, etc.
● Disconnect all equipment from the power outlets. Connect the equipment to the power outlets only
after you have finished hooking up everything. Never make or change connections with equipment
connected to the power outlet.
Remember...
● Connect the DVD Recorder directly to the TV. For example, do not connect the DVD Recorder to a
VCR, then connect the VCR to a TV. This type of connection may distort the picture and sound. Also,
your VCR might have the copy protection system, which could distort the DVD image.
● Set the TV to the correct Video In channel. Such channels may be called AUX or AUXILIARY IN,
AUDIO/VIDEO or A/V IN, EXT1 or EXT2, etc. These channels often are near channel 00. See your
TV manual for details. Or, change TV channels until you see the blue Philips DVD screen saver on the
TV screen.
● Set the Stereo to the correct channel or “source” mode.
● Do not connect the DVD Recorder’s AUDIO OUT jacks to the PHONO IN jack of your Stereo.
● You only need one audio connection and one video connection between the DVD Recorder and your
TV. So, you might not use all the jacks on the Recorder.
Once you determine the best option, find your choice on pages 10-15. Follow the
steps for the hookup you chose.
When you finish your connections and turn on the DVD Recorder for the first time,
you must complete the Initial Setup. Initial Setup helps you set up TV channels,
menu languages, and other features. Go to page 16 to continue.
