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.

Care and Safety Information

English

CAUTION!
High voltage! Do not open.
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 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.

A live TV programme is now under your
control. You can pause the programme by
pressing PAUSE button and resume playback
at the scene it was interrupted by pressing
PLAY button. If you want to return to the live
TV programme, just press TUNER.

i.LINK, is also known as ‘FireWire’ and ‘IEEE
1394’. This connection is used for the transfer
of high bandwidth digital signals as used by
digital video (DV) devices. It carries all audio
and video signals via a single cable.

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

The GUIDE Plus+ system lists your TV channel
programming information. You can use it to

programme content, or change channels at
your external receiver/cable box using this
recorder’s remote control.
