Important notes for users in the
U.K.
Mains plug
This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13
Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug
proceed as follows:
1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362
5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3 Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket
outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate
plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should
have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse
is used, the fuse at the distribution board
should not be greater than 5 Amp.
Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to
avoid a possible shock hazard should it be
inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with
the following code: blue = neutral (N),
brown = live (L).
As these colours may not correspond with the
colour markings identifying the terminals in your
plug, proceed as follows:
– Connect the blue wire to the terminal
marked N or coloured black.
– Connect the brown wire to the terminal
marked L or coloured red.
– Do not connect either wire to the earth
terminal in the plug, marked E (or ˛) or
coloured green (or green and yellow).
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain
that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of
the lead - not simply over the two wires.

What kind of disc should I use for
recording?
You can only record on a DVD+R and
DVD+RW discs. DVD+R/+RW is the most
compatible recordable DVD format on the
market today. They are fully compatible to
most of the existing DVD-Video players and
DVD-ROM drives in computers.
What is the capacity of a DVD+R/+RW
disc?
4.7GB, or equivalent to 6CDs. You can store
only one hour of recordings on a single disc at
the highest quality (DVD standard) and about
6 hours recordings at the lowest quality (VHS
standard).
The recording mode indicates the number of
hours that will fit on a single disc.
What is the difference between DVD+R
and DVD+RW?
DVD+R is “recordable” and DVD+RW is
“erasable” and “rewritable”. With a DVD+R,
you can record multiple sessions on the same
disc, but when the disc is full, you cannot
record any more on the disc. The DVD+RW
allows you to record over the same disc
literally hundreds of times.
What is DV?
Using DV, also known as i.LINK, you can
connect a DV-equipped camcorder to this
recorder using a single DV cable for input and
output of audio, video, data and control
signals.
– This recorder is only compatible with DVformat (DVC-SD) camcorders. Digital satellite
tuners and Digital VHS video recorders are
not compatible.
– You cannot connect more than one DV
camcorder at a time to this recorder.
– You cannot control this recorder from
external equipment connected via the DV IN
socket.
Can I copy a VHS tape or DVD from an
external player?
Yes, but only if the VHS tape or DVD is not
copy protected.
What are Titles and Chapters?
A DVD disc contains Titles and Chapters,
which are similar to the Titles and Chapters of
a book. A Title is often a complete movie and
is broken down into Chapters, or individual
scenes from the movies.
Title
Chapter
Title
Chapter Chapter Chapter Chapter
chapter markers
Programmes are recorded as a single title, it
may consist of one chapter or a few chapters
within a title, depending on the recording
settings.
How do I set up Titles and Chapters?
The DVD recorder automatically creates a
new Title every time you start a new
recording. You can then add Chapters to these
recordings manually or have them
automatically inserted at 5-minutes intervals.
What does “finalising” a disc do?
Finalising a disc locks the disc so it can no
longer be recorded, only required for DVD+R.
It will then be compatible with virtually any
DVD player. To close a disc without finalising
it, simply stop recording and eject the disc.
You will still be able to record on the disc if
there is room for more recordings.
How good is the quality of the
recording?
There are a few quality levels to choose from,
ranging from “1 hour mode” (High Quality) to
“6 hours mode” (VHS quality). Press REC
MODE button on the remote control to
choose the quality level that best suits your
purpose and the length of material.

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.
To clean a disc, use a micro fibre cleaning
cloth and wipe the disc from the center
to the edge in a straight line.
CAUTION!
Do not use solvents such as
benzene, thinner, commercially available
cleaners, or anti-static sprays intended
for analog discs.
Since the optical unit (laser) of the DVD
recorder operates at a higher power than
regular DVD or CD players, cleaning
CDs intended for DVD or CD players
may damage the optical unit (laser).
Therefore, refrain from using a cleaning
CD.

General Information
Introduction
Your Philips DVD recorder allows you to
record the TV programmes or duplicate
camcorder recordings to a DVD+RW or
DVD+R and play pre-recorded DVDs.
The recordings you make on the
Recorder will play on most of the DVD
players and DVD-ROM drives. The
DVD+R discs have to be finalised before
they can be played on other DVD players.
Please take time to read this user manual
before using your DVD recorder. It
contains important information and notes
regarding operation.
Helpful Hints:
– If you have questions or if problems come
up during operation, please see the chapter
‘Troubleshooting’.
– If you need further assistance, please call
the customer support service for your
country. The corresponding telephone
numbers and e-mail addresses are given in
the guarantee booklet.
Accessories supplied
– Remote control and batteries
– Scart cable
– RF coaxial cable
– Quick Use Guide
Region codes
DVD films are usually not released at the
same time in all regions of the world,

Region 2 DVDs or DVDs
manufactured to be played in
all regions (‘ALL’). DVDs from
other regions cannot be
played on this DVD recorder.

Option 2: Using Coaxial socket
You can connect the DVD recorder to
an AV amplifier/receiver in order to
enjoy multichannel surround sound.
Use a coaxial cable (not supplied) to
connect COAXIAL socket to the device
that has the same input socket
(COAXIAL IN or DIGITAL IN).
– an AV amplifier/receiver with a digital
multi-channel sound decoder.
Before you start operating, set the Digital
Audio Output accordingly (see page 57).
If the Digital Output setting does not
match your stereo’s capabilities, the
stereo may produce a strong, distorted
sound or no sound at all.
TIPS: Before making or changing any connections, make sure that all the devices are disconnected
from the power outlet.

Connecting to a Cable Box or Satellite Receiver
Option 1
If your Cable Box/Satellite Receiver
has only an antenna output socket
(RF OUT or TO TV),
refer to “Connecting the antenna cables”
on page 12 for the complete connection
to your TV.
Option 2
If your Cable Box/Satellite Receiver
has Scart output socket
A Remain with the existing antenna
connection from the Cable Box/Satellite
Receiver to your TV.
B Use the scart cable to connect EXT1
TO TV-I/O socket on the DVD
recorder to the corresponding SCART
input socket on the TV.
C Use another scart cable to connect the
EXT2 AUX-I/O socket on the DVD
recorder to the Scart output socket (or
labelled as TV OUT or TO TV) on the
