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 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 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 center. Please observe the local regulations regarding disposal of packaging materials, exhausted batteries, and old equipment.

Product Information

Introduction

Your Philips recorder allows you to record the TV programs 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  nalized before they can be played on other DVD players.

Before you start using this recorder, complete the basic connections and setup 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 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 e-mail 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 – Audio/Video (AV) cables – RF coaxial cable – Quick Use 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 1 DVDs or DVDs manufactured to be played in all regions (‘ALL’). DVDs from other regions cannot be played on this recorder.

The making of unauthorized copies of copy-protected material, including computer programs,  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.
