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 5cm (2”) from the left and right to prevent overheating.

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.)

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.

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.

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.

Introduction

Your Philips recorder allows you to record TV programs or duplicate camcorder recordings to a DVD±RW or DVD±R and play pre-recorded DVDs. The recordings you make with this recorder will playback on DVD players and DVD-ROM drives. DVD±R discs have to be  nalized 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 operations of the recorder.

Helpful Hints: – If you have questions or if problems occur during operation, 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 cables – 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 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 unauthorised 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.

Special features

This is a simple programming system for recorders. To use it, enter the programming number associated with your television program. You can  nd this number in your favourite listings magazine.

i.Link is also known as ‘FireWire’ and ‘IEEE1394’. This connection is used for the transfer of high bandwidth digital signals as used by digital video (DV) camcorders. It carries all audio and video signals via a single cable.

HDMI (High-De nition Multimedia Interface) is a high-speed digital interface that can transmit uncompressed high de nition video and digital multichannel audio. It delivers perfect picture and sound quality, completely free from noise. HDMI is fully backward-compatible with DVI.

A surround sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories containing up to six channels of digital audio

The DivX code is a video codec developed by DivXNetworks Inc., that compresses digital video to small sizes while retaining relatively high visual quality.
