Introduction

Dear Philips customer

Instruction manuals are usually very dry since they are technically-oriented and often poorly

translated. I have been employed by Philips for this reason.

Allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Phil. I will be guiding you through the instruction manual and try to be of help in operating your new device. At appropriate points along the way, I will be providing you with the following information:

(Question)?

Here I will be explaining seemingly unimportant things.

Tip

Here I will be giving you

instructions on functions that help make it easier to use your

DVD Recorder.

Problem

Here I will help you find the cause of problems and their solutions.

I hope you have lots of fun with your new DVD Recorder.

Phil

P.S.: If you have questions or if problems come up during operation, please see the helpful

information in the chapter 'Before you call technical support'. If this doesn't help you resolve the problem, please call the customer support service for your country. The corresponding telephone numbers and e-mail addresses can be found on the last page of

this instruction manual

You can also visit the website 'http://www.p4c.philips.com'.

Introduction 3

Welcome to the large family of PHILIPS DVD owners.

Thank you for buying a DVDR615/17.

Please take the time to read this owner's manual before using your DVD Recorder. It contains important information and notes regarding operation. The DVD Recorder should not be turned on immediately after transportation from a cold to a hot area or vice versa, or in conditions of extreme humidity. Wait at least three hours after transporting the device. The DVD Recorder needs this to

acclimate to its new environment (temperature, air humidity, etc.).

Your Philips team hopes you will enjoy

using your new DVD Recorder.

)

What is a DVD?

DVDs (Digital Versatile Discs) are 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-arc MPEG2 data compression technology that allows an entire film to be put on a single 5-inch disc.

How high is the resolution compared to VHS?

The crystal-clear digital pictures have a resolution of over 500 lines, with 720 pixels (picture elements) per line. This resolution is more than

double that of VHS and is superior to Laser Discs. The quality can be compared to digital masters made in recording studios.

What is DVD+RW? DVD+ReWritable (DVD+RW) uses phase<hange media, the same

technology that formed the basis for CD-ReWritable. A high-power laser is used to change the refiectivity of the recording layer. This process means the disc can be recorded on more than a thousand times.

What is DVD+R?

DVD+R (recordable DVD). In contrast to DVD+RW, this disc can only be recorded once. If a disc has not been finalized after recording, it can

continue to be recorded upon in the DVD Recorder. Old recordings can be later deleted, but they cannot be overwritten. The deleted titles are marked as 'Deleted title.' For this disc to be played in a DVD player, it must be 'finalized' in the DVD Recorder. After this has been completed, no further recordings can be added.

What can my DVD Recorder do? 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 DVDs can be played. *)recordings made on your DVD Recorder can play on existing DVD Video players and DVD-ROM drives. In some cases, the discs may have to be finalized before they will play on other DVD players.

Introduction 5

Region codes

Because DVD films are usually not released at the same time in all regions of the world, all DVD players are keyed to a specific region code. Discs can be assigned an optional region code. If the

region codes of the player and disc do not coincide, playback is not possible.

This device will only play Region I DVDs or DVDs manufactured to be played in all regions ('ALL').

DVDs from other regions cannot be played in this DVD Recorder. The number within the globe represents the region of the world.

Region I represents: U.S, Canada, upper regions of North America, Bermuda, U.S. Virgin Islands and smaller regions near Australia.

The machine does not contain any components that can be repaired by the customer. Please leave all maintenance work to qualified personnel.

If you disconnect the DVD Recorder from the power supply, pull out the power cord's plug from the wall outlet, not only the plug from the jack _ MAINS at the rear of the set. Children playing near the device could suffer iniuries at the free end of the cable.

Deposit old batteries at the appropriate collection points.

This electronic device contains many materials that can be recycled. Please enquire about the possibilities for recycling your old device.

Introduction 7

Make sure that air can circulate freely through the ventilation slots on the machine. Do not place the device on an unsteady base.

Keep the DVD Recorder away from domestic heating equipment and other sources of heat, as well as direct sunlight.

Make sure children do not place any foreign objects into the openings or the disc tray.

Cleaning discs

Some problems occur because the disc inside the Recorder is dirty (frozen picture, sound disruptions, picture distortions). To avoid these problems, discs should be cleaned on a regular

basis.

When a disc is dirty, clean it with a soft cloth. Wipe the disc from the center to the edge in a straight line.

Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially

available cleaners, or anti-static sprays intended for analog discs.

Can I use a cleaning disc intended for DVD players?

Since the optical unit (laser) of the DVD Recorder operates at a higher power than regular DVD or CD players, these kinds of cleaning CDs may damage the optical unit (laser).

Therefore, refrain from using a cleaning CD!

Connecting the DVD Recorder

Preparing the remote control for operation

The remote control and its batteries are packed separately in the original DVD Recorder packaging. You must install the batteries in the remote control - as described in the paragraph

below - before use.

Take the remote control and the enclosed batteries (2 AA

batteries).

Remove the battery compartment lid, insert the batteries as

shown, then replace the battery compartment lid. Always install the +/- ends of the batteries as indicated inside the battery compartment.

The remote control is now ready to use.

Its range is approximately 16-32 feet (S to 10 meters).

'Correct aiming' of the remote control

In the following sections, you require the remote control for the first time. When using the remote control, always aim the front part of it at

the DVD recorder, not the TV.

Tip

Connecting your DVD Recorder to the TV

The necessary cable connections must be made before you can record or playback TV programs using your DVD recorder.

Connect the DVD Recorder directly to the TV. Connecting a video cassette Recorder between the DVD Recorder and the TV could result in poor picture quality.

When you install your DVD Recorder for the first time, select one of the following options:

'Connecting with S-Video (Y/C)'

If your TV is equipped with a S-Video (SVHS) jack.

'Connecting only with the antenna cable'

If your TV has only an Antenna-In jack (no other audio and video in jacks) or you do not wish to use any other cable. The TV's Antenna In jack may be labeled ANT IN, RF IN, 7S ohm, etc. Check

your TV instructions for details.

Connecting the DVD Recorder I I

Connecting with a Component Video (Y PB PR) cable

Component Video is the highest quality a system for transmitting video by splitting the video signal into the Y (brightness), U and V (red minus brightness, blue minus brightness) components.

The signals are sent over separate lines. The plus for these cables and the corresponding jacks are usually red, green, and blue.

In addition, the signal can be 'interlaced' or use 'progressive scan.'

Interlaced

The regular video/TV signal is interlaced, i.e. the even and odd lines are formed as half pictures

Parental control (DVD video only)

Movies on DVDs may contain scenes which are not suitable for children. DVDs sometimes come with rating information for the entire DVD or only for certain scenes. Affected scenes are rated from I to 8. If a scene with such a rating is recognized during playback, the DVD Recorder compares the Parental control rating with that of the DVD scene.

If the scene rating exceeds the Parental control rating, an alternative scene will be played back (if available).

Most DVDs apply the rating to an entire DVD. Therefore, if certain scenes exceed the rating you select, the entire disc will be blocked from viewing.
