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.
5cm
10cm
10cm
Cleaning discs
Some problems occur (frozen picture, sound disruptions, picture distortions) because the disc 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 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.
About recycling
These operating instructions have been printed on non-polluting paper. This
5cm
electronic equipment contains a large number of materials that can be recycled. If you are disposing of an old machine,
Avoid high temperature, moisture, water and dust
– Apparatus must not be exposed to dripping or splashing.
please take it to a recycling centre. Please observe the local regulations regarding disposal of packaging materials, exhausted batteries, and old equipment.
– Do not place any object or items that can damage the apparatus (e.g., liquid  lled objects, lighted candles).

Introduction
Your Philips recorder allows you to record TV programs or copy 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 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 – RF antenna cable – Audio/video cable – Quick Start Guide

from the power outlet.

Discs for recording
Several different formats of DVD recordable discs can be used with this recorder:
DVD±RW (DVD Rewritable) – Discs that are rewritable can be used for multiple recordings once the existing
data has been erased.
DVD±R (DVD Recordable) – Discs can only be used for a single recording. Each new recording is always added at the end of all previous recordings as existing recordings cannot be overwritten. – Editing can be made on any DVD±R discs as long as they have not been  nalized (except { Erase A-B }, { Divide } and { Undo Erase }). – To play a DVD±R on other DVD player, it must be  nalized (see the chapter “Disc settings – Finalize”). After this is done, no more data can be added to the disc.
DVD±R DL (DVD±R Double Layer) – Like the DVD±Rs, these discs can only be used for a single recording. The only difference is the capacity- 8.5GB. It offers two recordable layers on a single DVD disc. The layers are accessible from the same side of the disc, so recording can occur completely uninterrupted.

Frequently Asked Questions
English
What kind of disc should I use for recording?
You can record on both DVD±R and DVD±RW discs. They are compatible with DVD-Video players and DVD-ROM drives in computers.
What is the capacity of a DVD±R/±RW disc?
4.7GB, or equivalent to six CDs. 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).
What is the difference between DVD±R and DVD±RW?
DVD±R is “recordable” and DVD±RW is “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 repeatedly.
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 DV-
– format (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 jack.
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
Programs 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?
The recorder automatically creates a new Title every time you start a new recording.
What does “ nalizing” a disc do?
Finalizing a disc locks the disc so it can no longer be used for recording. This is only required for DVD±R discs. It will then be compatible with virtually any DVD player. To remove a disc without  nalizing it, simply stop recording and eject the disc. You will still be able to record on the disc if there is storage space for more recordings.
How good is the quality of the recording?
There are a few quality levels to choose from, ranging from “HQ” - High Quality (1 hour mode) to “SLP” - Super Long Play (6 hours mode). Press the REC MODE key on the remote control to choose the quality level that best suits your purpose and the length of material.
