This apparatus is tted 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 Re t the fuse cover.
If the tted plug is not suitable for your socket
outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate
plug tted 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).
z 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.

other equipment that might heat it up
(e.g., receiver or ampli er).
– Do not put anything under the set (e.g.,
CDs, magazines).
– Install this unit near the AC outlet and
where the AC power plug can be reached
easily.
Space for ventilation
– Place the apparatus in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent internal
heat build up. Allow at least 10 cm (4”)
clearance from the rear and the top of
the set and 5cm (2”) from the left and
right to prevent overheating.
5cm (2.3")
10cm (4.5")
5cm (2.3")

dripping or splashing.
– Do not place any sources of danger on
the apparatus (e.g., liquid lled objects,
lighted candles).
10cm (4.5")
Cleaning discs
Some problems occur (frozen picture,
sound disruptions, picture distortions)
because the disc inside the unit is dirty.
To avoid these problems, discs should be
cleaned on a regular basis.
To clean a disc, use a micro bre 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 discs.
Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
handling care
The hard disk drive (HDD) has a high
storage density that enables long
recording duration and high speed data
access. Depending on the setup
environment and handling, some content
may be damaged resulting in failure of
playback and recording. To avoid damage
to the HDD and losing important data,
observe following precautions:
– Do not move the recorder or subject
it to vibration.
– Do not remove the AC power plug
from the mains socket without switching
the recorder to standby mode.
WARNING!
The HDD is not a device for storing
recorded content permanently. We
recommend that you copy the important
video content to a recordable DVD
disc as backup.

Special features
Philips provides the best possible connection
between your recorder and other home
cinema equipment. The recorder is controlled
by external devices (for example, receivers
and TVs) via Cinema Link and is automatically
set to the right system settings.
With this function you can align the sequence
of the channels on your TV (analogue only)
with those on your recorder. Make sure you
have connected the TV to the
EXT1 TO TV-I/O socket of this recorder.
This function enables you to record a
programme from your Satellite Receiver or
any other devices. Make sure that the device is
connected to the EXT2 AUX-I/O socket of
this recorder, and the timer setting has been
done on the connected device.
Direct Record
This function allows you to instantly record the
programme (analogue TV channels only) you
see on the TV without tuning this recorder to
the same programme.
Time Shift Buffer
As soon as you turn on this recorder, the
programme showing on the TV will be stored
into the ‘Time Shift Buffer’. It acts as a
temporary HDD storage of your recordings.
The contents will be automatically deleted after
6 (six) hours or when you turn off this
recorder. To store the contents on the hard
disk permanently, you have to mark the section
in the ‘Time Shift Buffer’ for recording to
prevent them from being deleted.
Instant Replay
You can repeat a scene of a live TV programme
by pressing REPLAY button on the remote
control, as often as you like. If you wish to return
to the live TV programme, just press TUNER.
FlexTime
You can watch or recall a TV programme while
it is still being recorded. You do not have to
wait until the end of the recording before
starting playback. You can also watch a
different programme from the hard disk while
it is recording something else.
Pause Live TV
A live TV programme is now under your
control. You can pause the programme by
pressing PAUSE button and resume playback
at the scene it was interrupted by pressing
PLAY button. If you want to return to the live
TV programme, just press TUNER.
Pixel Plus
Pixel Plus improves the detail, depth and
clarity level of video recordings from any
source via the digital HDMI connector. The
noise reduction and sharpness improvement
are applied automatically on the HDMI output
on any HDMI TV and Philips’ Pixel Plus TVs.
i.LINK, is also known as ‘FireWire’ and ‘IEEE
1394’. This connection is used for the transfer
of high bandwidth digital signals as used by
digital video (DV) devices. It carries all audio
and video signals via a single cable.
This is a simple programming system for
recorders. To use it, enter the programming
number associated with your television
programme. You can nd this number in your
favourite listings magazine.
The GUIDE Plus+ system lists your TV channel
programming information. You can use it to
schedule recordings, glance at upcoming
programme content, or change channels at
your external receiver/cable box using this
recorder’s remote control.

Connecting the antenna
cables
These connections enable you to watch
and record TV programmes using this
recorder. If the antenna signal is
connected via a Cable Box or Satellite
Receiver, ensure that these devices are
turned on in order to watch or record
the cable programmes.
If you want to connect to a VCR
and/or a separate Cable Box/
Satellite Receiver, see page 21~23 for
other possible connections.
Helpful Hint:
– Depending on how you have currently
connected your TV channel (directly from an
off-air antenna or cable box or VCR), you’ll
have to disconnect some of the cables before
you make the antenna connection.
