Important notes for users in the U.K.
Mains plug
This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
1Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted 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 e) 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.

Special Functions
Your PHILIPS DVD recorder has a number of special functions that will make day-to-day use of your new DVD recorder easier for you.
Using the ‘Digital Photo
Manager’, you can view and modify JPEG pictures from a Picture CD, DVD, or a CD ROM. You can create slide shows and play them on a DVD player (for DVDR615 and DVDR616 only).
This function automatically transfers all the television channel settings onto your DVD recorder via the scart cable
(EXT1 TO TV-I/O socket).
At the touch of a button, your
DVD recorder will check which channel is currently playing on your television set and record it even if it is in Standby mode.

Finding a suitable location
– Place the set on a flat, 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 amplifier).
– Do not put anything under the set (e.g., CDs, magazines).
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.

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

You can use the front sockets to copy camcorder recordings. These sockets are located behind the flap on the right hand side.
Option 1: Using DV IN socket
(for DVDR615 and DVDR616 only)
Use this connection if you have a Digital Video or Digital 8 camcorder. The DV socket will conforms to the i.Link standard. It provides the best picture quality.
●Use an i.LINK 4-pin cable to connect the DVD recorder’s DV IN socket to the appropriate DV output socket on the camcorder.
Before start operating, select ‘CAM 2’ as the input channel.
For recording, see pages 38~39.
Helpful Hints:
–You can also use the DV IN to connect the DVD recorder to a Personal Computer that has a DV output socket. The PC must have an IEEE 1394 Firewire connector.
–The DV socket on this recorder can only receive input signals, it cannot output signals.

Option 2: Using S-VIDEO In or VIDEO In socket
Use S-VIDEO connection if you have a Hi8 or S-VHS(C) camcorder. It provides very good picture quality.
Alternatively, you can use VIDEO connection if your camcorder has only a single video output (Composite Video, CVBS). It provides good picture quality.
1Use a S-video cable to connect the DVD recorder’s S-VIDEO input socket to the appropriate S-VHS output socket on the camcorder.
OR
Use a video cable (yellow) to connect the DVD recorder’s VIDEO input socket to the appropriate video output socket on the camcorder.
2Use an audio cable (red/white) to connect the DVD recorder’s
AUDIO L/R input socket to the audio output socket on the camcorder.
Before start operating, select ‘CAM1’ as the input channel.
For recording, see pages 38~39.

You can connect the DVD recorder to a two channel stereo system or receiver in order to enjoy the stereo sound system.
● Use an audio cable (red/white) to connect AUDIO L/R (red/white) to one of the following devices :
–a stereo system (for example, mini system or TV)
–a receiver with Dolby Surround Pro Logic
–a receiver with two channel analogue stereo
Before start operating, set the Analogue Output accordingly (see page 54). Choose a sound mode setting that is most compatible with the connected devices.
CAUTION!
Do not use the ‘Phono’ input on an amplifier to connect to the DVD recorder. This input socket is designed only for record players without preamplifiers. The DVD recorder or the amplifier may be damaged as a result.

You can connect the DVD recorder to a A/V receiver or amplifier in order to enjoy the home theatre system’s surround sound capabilities.
●Use a coaxial cable to connect COAXIAL to one of the following devices :
–an A/V receiver or an A/V amplifier with a digital multi-channel sound decoder
–a receiver with two channel digital stereo (PCM)
Before start operating, set the Digital Output accordingly (see page 58). If the Digital Output setting does not match your stereo’s capabilities, the stereo may produce a strong, distorted sound or no sound at all.
Helpful Hints:
–Digital multi-channel sound offers the best possible sound quality. You will need a multichannel A/V receiver or amplifier that supports at least one of the audio formats of the DVD recorder (MPEG2, Dolby Digital). See your receiver’s manual to find out which audio formats it supports.
–Playback in six-channel digital surround sound is only possible if the receiver has a digital multi-channel sound decoder.
