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 ˛) 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.

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 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 (4.5”) clearance from the rear and the top of the set and 5cm (2.3”) from the left and right to prevent overheating.

5cm (2.3")

10cm (4.5")

5cm (2.3")

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).

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 recording 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 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 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 a time period of 6 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.

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.

Instant Replay

You can repeat a scene of a live TV programme by pressing JUMP BACK button on the remote control, as often as you like. If you wish to return to the live TV programme, just press TUNER.

Copy from Hard Disk to recordable DVD

IMPORTANT! – It is not possible to record the TV programmes or the scheduled timer programmes directly to a recordable DVD. You can only record it to the HDD and then copy to a recordable DVD. – Copy protected (Copy-Once or Copy-Never) movies and DVD Videos cannot be copied to the HDD.

About copying

You can copy a recorded title from the HDD (hard disk drive) to a recordable DVD.

The time required for copying from HDD to a recordable DVD depends on the recording mode of the HDD recordings. It is not possible to change the recording mode for copying process. It is therefore important that you choose the appropriate recording mode when you set up the recording to the HDD.

The copying process is done at a higher speed than the recording. The maximum copying speed is up to 2x. You cannot shorten the time required for recoding even with high-speed discs.

Discs for recording

Three different types of DVD recordable discs can be used with this recorder:

DVD±RW (DVD Rewritable) – Discs that are re-writable can be used for multiple recordings once existing data is 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 done on DVD±R discs as long as they have not been  nalised. – You can also delete unwanted recordings. However, the disc space occupied by the deleted recordings cannot be recovered for further recording. – To play a DVD±R disc on other DVD players, it must be  nalised (see page 69). After this is done, no more data can be added to the disc.

DVD+R DL (DVD+R Double Layer) – It contains the same usage as DVD+R, the only difference is the capacity- 8.5GB. It offers two recordable layers on a single DVD disc and are accessible from the same side of the disc, so recording can occur completely uninterrupted.

English

TIPS: Ensure that there is suf cient space available on the recordable DVD before recording.

You have to  nalise the DVD±R before it can be played on other players, see page 69.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of disc should I use for recording?

You can only record on DVD±R, DVD±RW or DVD+R DL discs. DVD±R/±RW is the most compatible recordable DVD format in the market today. They are fully compatible with most of the existing DVD-Video players and DVD-ROM drives in computers.

What is the capacity of a DVD±R and DVD±RW?

4.7GB, or equivalent to six CDs. You can store only one hour of recording on a single disc at the highest quality (DVD standard) and about 8 hours recording at the lowest quality (VHS standard).

What is the difference between DVD±R and DVD±RW?

DVD±R is “recordable” and DVD±RW is “erasable” and “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 literally hundreds of times.

What is DV IN socket?

DV (Digital Video) IN socket on this recorder is an i.LINK-compliant input socket. You can connect a DV-equipped camcorder to this recorder using a single DV cable for copying digital video, digital audio and data. – This recorder is only compatible with DVformat (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 socket. – It is not possible to record the contents from this recorder to your DV camcorder via the DV IN socket.

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 Chapter Chapter Chapter

chapter markers

Programmes are recorded as a single title. They may consist of one chapter or a few chapters within a title, depending on the recording settings.

How do I set up Titles and Chapters?

The recorder will automatically create a new Title every time you start a new recording. You can then add Chapters to these recordings manually or have them automatically inserted at a speci c intervals.

What does “ nalising” a disc do?

Finalising a disc locks the disc so it can no longer be recorded. This is only required for DVD±R. It will then be compatible with virtually any DVD player. To remove a disc without  nalising 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 picture quality levels to choose from, ranging from “HQ” (1 hour recording at high quality) to “SEP” (8 hours recording at VHS quality) on a recordable DVD.

Record Mode

English

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.

HQ (high quality) SP (standard play) SPP (standard play plus) LP (long play) EP (extended play) SLP (super long play) SEP (super extended play)

Problem (Recording) Solution

Recordings are not occurring as scheduled. New recordings cannot be made.

– The TV channel you want to record is not stored or you

selected the wrong programme number. Check the TV channels stored.

– You have to reset the timer recording after adjusted the clock

setting.

– You cannot use the recorder to duplicate copyright material

(DVDs or videotapes) onto a recordable DVD, “COPY PROT” will be displayed.

English

The wrong TV channel was decoded (recorded) after you programmed a recording using the VIDEO Plus+ system.

The index screen  ickers when a DVD±R is inserted.

Picture is fuzzy and brightness varies when prerecorded video tapes.

– ‘VPS/PDC’ is turned on but ‘VPS/PDC time’ is wrong. Enter the

exact ‘VPS/PDC time’.

1) Enter the PlusCode programming number of the desired TV channel.

2) Press OK to con rm.

3) Check the channel number in the {Ch.} input  eld. If this does not correspond to the desired TV channel, select this entry  eld and change the channel number.

4) Press OK to con rm.

– You can  nalise the disc using the following function:

1) Press OPEN CLOSE on this recorder to open the disc tray.

2) Insert the disc but do not close the tray.

3) Hold down button number {4} on the remote control until the tray closes. ‘FINALISING’ appears on the display panel.

4) If  nalising has been successful, the Picture Index screen will appear.

– This happens if you try to copy DVDs or video tapes that have

been copy-protected. Even though the picture on the TV is  ne, but the recording on the recordable DVD is faulty. This interference is unavoidable with copy-protected DVDs or video tapes.

– The recordable DVD has a limited recording lifetime, use a new

disc for recording.

Aspect ratio: The ratio of vertical and horizontal sizes of a displayed image. The horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, and that of widescreens is 16:9.

AUDIO OUT sockets: Red and white sockets on the back of the system that send audio to another system (TV, Stereo, etc.).

Chapter: Sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number enabling you to locate the chapter you want.

Digital: Sound that has been converted into numerical values. Digital sound is available when you use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT COAXIAL or OPTICAL sockets. These sockets send audio through multiple channels, instead of just two channels as analogue does.

Disc menu: A screen display prepared for allowing selection of images, sounds, subtitles, multi-angles, etc recorded on a DVD.

Dolby Digital: A surround sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories containing up to six channels of digital audio (front left and right, surround left and right, centre and subwoofer).

Index Picture Screen: A screen that gives an overview of a DVD±RW or DVD±R. An Index Picture represents each recording.

HDD (Hard disk drive): This is a mass data storage device used in computers, etc. Disks are  at, circular, rigid plates coated with a thin magnetic media. Magnetic heads record data on the rapidly spinning disks. This facilitates the reading and writing of large amounts of data at high speed.

JPEG: A very common digital still picture format. A still-picture data compression system proposed by the Joint Photographic Expert Group, which features small decrease in image quality in spite of its high compression ratio.

MP3: A  le format with a sound data compression system. “MP3” is the abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. By using the MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain about 10 times more data then a regular CD.

MPEG: Motion Picture Experts Group. A collection of compression systems for digital audio and video.

PBC: Playback Control. Refers to the signal recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for controlling playback. By using menu screens recorded on a Video CD or SVCD that supports PBC, you can enjoy interactive playback and searching.

PCM: Pulse Code Modulation. A digital audio encoding system.

Progressive Scan: The progressive scan displays twice the number of frames per seconds than ordinary TV system. It offers higher picture resolution and quality.

Region code: A system allowing discs to be played only in the region designated. This unit will only play discs that have compatible region codes. You can  nd the region code of your unit by looking on the product label. Some discs are compatible with more than one region (or ALL regions).

S-Video: Produces a clear picture by sending separate signals for the luminance and the colour. You can use S-Video only if your TV has an S-Video In socket.
