Mains plug
This apparatus is fitted 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 Refit 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 colour s 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.
This connection 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) camcorders. Audio and video signals are transmitted using an i-Link cable. In addition to DV and Hi8 camcorders, some personal computers with digital video output can also be connected to this digital input (for DVDR615 and DVDR616 only).
This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by method claims of certain US patents and other intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights owners. Use of this copyright protection technology must be authorized by Macrovision Corporation, and is intended for home and other limited viewing uses only unless otherwise authorized by Macrovision Corporation.

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 qualified personnel.
Setup
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.
5cm (2.3")
10cm (4.5")
5cm (2.3")
10cm (4.5")
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.

Cable Box/Decoder/ VCD/DVD player
You can connect a video cassette recorder (VCR), DVD player, decoder, satellite receiver or cable box to EXT 2 AUX-I/O socket at the back of the DVD recorder.
When playback is started on this additional device, the DVD recorder will automatically send the video/audio signals from EXT 2 AUX-I/O socket to EXT 1 TO TV-I/O socket. You will then see the picture from the additional device on your TV, even if the DVD recorder is turned off (only if you have connected your TV via EXT 1 TO TV-I/O socket, see page 11).
Connecting a Cable Box/Decorder
If your Cable Box/Decorder has a scart socket, you can choose to connect it to the second scart socket.
1 Use a scart cable to connected the
Cable Box/Decoder scart socket (usually labelled as ‘TV’ or ‘TO TV ’) to EXT 2 AUX-I/O socket at the back of the DVD recorder.
2 Select the TV channels to be received by
the Cable Box directly on the receiver itself.
Connecting a VCR/DVD player
You will need this connection if you want to record the video tapes or discs to a DVD+R(W)s.
Use a scart cable to connect the scart
socket (usually labelled as ‘SCART OUT’ or ‘TO TV ’) of the VCD/DVD player to EXT 2 AUX-I/O socket.
Alternatively, you can choose to connect
via the front sockets of the DVD recorder if your VCR/DVD player have the same output sockets.
Before start operating, select CAM1 as
the input channel. For recording, see pages 38~39.
To switch between playback from the additional devices and playback from the DVD recorder

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.
1 Use 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.

Using analogue audio output sockets
STEREO
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 Logica 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.

Using digital audio output socket
DIGITAL IN
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.
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.

1DVDR6xx_Eng00_13454c 9/28/04, 1:25 PM16
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.
