Important notes for users in the U.K. Mains plug

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).

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 e) 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.

Care and Safety Information

English

CAUTION! High voltage! Do not open the device. You run the risk of getting an electric shock.

The machine does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Please leave all maintenance work to quali ed personnel.

Setup precautions

Finding a suitable location

– Place the set on a  at, hard and stable surface. Do not place the set on a carpet. – Do not position the set on top of other equipment that might heat it up (e.g., receiver or ampli er). – Do not put anything above or 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 5 cm (2”) from the left and right to prevent overheating.

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  bre cleaning cloth and wipe the disc from the centre 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 analogue discs.

Since the optical unit (laser) of the 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.

Avoid high temperatures, moisture, water and dust

– Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing. – Do not place any sources of danger on the apparatus (e.g., liquid  lled objects, lighted candles).

About recycling

These operating instructions have been printed on non-polluting paper. This electronic equipment contains a large number of materials that can be recycled. If you are disposing of an old machine, please take it to a recycling centre. Please observe the local regulations regarding disposal of packaging materials, exhausted batteries, and old equipment.

Introduction

Your Philips 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 DVD players and DVD-ROM drives. The DVD±R discs have to be  nalised before they can be played back on other DVD players.

Before you start using this recorder, complete the basic connections and set-up in three easy steps.

Step 1: Basic recorder connections

Step 2: Optional connections for other devices

Step 3: Basic installation and set-up

Please take time to read this user manual before using your recorder. It contains important information and notes regarding the operations of the recorder.

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 email addresses are given in the guarantee booklet. – Refer to the type plate on the rear or bottom of the product for identi cation and supply ratings.

Accessories supplied

– Remote control and batteries – SCART cable – RF coaxial cable – Quick Start Guide

Region codes

DVD  lms are usually not released at the same time in all regions of the world, thus all DVD players are keyed to a speci c region code.

This device will only play Region 2 DVDs or DVDs manufactured to be played in all regions (‘ALL’). DVDs from other regions cannot be played on this recorder.

The making of unauthorised copies of copy-protected material, including computer programmes,  les, broadcasts and sound recordings, may be an infringement of copyrights and constitute a criminal offence. This equipment should not be used for such purposes.

DV OUT

Connecting a camcorder to the front sockets

You can use the front sockets to copy camcorder recordings. These sockets are located behind the  ap on the right and provides convenient connections for a camcorder.

Option 1: Using the DV IN socket

Use this connection if you have a Digital Video or Digital 8 camcorder. The DV socket conforms to the i.LINK standard.

Use an i.LINK 4-pin cable (not supplied)



to connect the DV IN socket on the recorder to the appropriate DV OUT socket on the camcorder.

Before you start operating, press REC SOURCE on the remote control repeatedly to select ‘DV’ as the input channel. See the chapter “Recording” for details.

Helpful Hints: – The DV IN socket does not support a connection to a Personal Computer. – It is not possible to record from the recorder to your camcorder via the DV IN socket on your recorder.

Option 2: Using the VIDEO In socket

Use the VIDEO connection if your camcorder has only a single video output (Composite Video, CVBS).

Connect the VIDEO(CAM1) socket on

the front panel of the recorder to the corresponding S-VHS or Video output socket on the camcorder.

Use an audio cable (red/white ends) to

connect the AUDIO L/R sockets on the front panel of the recorder to the audio output sockets on the camcorder.

Before you start operating, press REC SOURCE on the remote control repeatedly to select ‘CAM1’ as the input channel, depending on your connections. See the chapter “Recording” for details.

TIPS: Before making or changing any connections, make sure that all the devices are disconnected

from the power outlet.
