Introduction

Convenience of watching

Welcome to the growing family of owners of PHILIPS equipment.

Thank you for buying a DVDR 725H/05. The following pages explain the main features to help you understand how the DVDR 725H/05 works. You will find step-by-step descriptions of each function in the respective chapter of the User manual.

 Watching DVD discs

Your 'DVDR 725H/05' plays back DVDs, Audio and (S)Video CDs, and MP3 CDs. You can play back and edit the stored TV shows (or camcorder recordings), and save (archive) these on DVD+RW, DVD+R media for later viewing.

 Watching TV via HDD

But your 'DVDR 725H/05' is more than just an ordinary DVD recorder with a built-in hard disk. From now on, you can use your TV as a monitor and tune to the TV channels on this DVD recorder, taking advantage of features like FlexTime, Instant Replay, or the abitity to pause live TV.

 Flextime

With FlexTime, you can watch or rewind a TV show while it is being recorded. You don't have to wait until the end of the recording before starting playback see chapter 'Recording on the HDD'.

 Instant replay/skip

You can repeat a scene of a live TV show at the touch of a button, as often as you like. You can also skip a scene of a live TV show with the touch of a button.

 Pause live TV

You can pause a live TV show by pressing a button, to answer a phone call, while recording continues. You can resume playback of the show at the point it was interrupted.

 Easy navigation

To navigate through the stored content you can choose from various possibilities.

 The Disc Manager

This is an integrated database in the DVD recorder that remembers the recordings on DVD+RW, DVD+R discs made by this DVD recorder. This gives you a complete overview of your entire video collection at the touch of a button and an easy access to every recording.

 Time Shift Buffer

As soon as you turn on your DVD recorder, it starts recording from the current TV channel into the Time Shift Buffer. The DVD recorder stores all the TV shows you watched since you turned on the recorder. If information is available from the GUIDE Plus+ recorder will store the title and mark the beginning of the TV show.

The Time Shift Buffer can be best compared to a conveyor belt running from right to left. A TV show resembles a package on this conveyor belt. If you change the programme number or the GUIDE Plus+ system detects the start of a TV show, a new package will be placed on the conveyor belt. You can adjust the time a package will remain on the conveyor belt from 1 to 6 hours (the factory setting is 3 hours). As long as the packages are still on the conveyor belt, you can mark them or remove the marker. You can only mark the package that's directly in front of you. At the end of the conveyor belt (the preset time has expired), the recorder will decide whether a package will be stored or destroyed. Only the packages that are marked will be stored. If you flush the Time Shift Buffer, the recorder will immediately remove all packages from the belt, storing only those you marked.

system, the

 Simultaneous recording and playback

Thanks to the built-in HDD and the high data rates it can achieve, you can record and play back at the same time.

This enables you to:

watch, pause, or rewind a TV show while it is being recorded

•

(FlexTime, Pause live TV) watch a TV show stored on the HDD while another recording is

•

being made playback an optical disc (DVD, CD with audio, video, mp3 content,...)

•

while the HDD records a TV show transfer (archive) a TV show from the HDD to a DVD+RW,

•

DVD+R while another show is being recorded on the HDD.

Introduction

 Media Browser

The Media Browser provides an overview of all the recordings on the HDD. You can display a list of all recordings according to certain criteria (e.g. recording date, protected,...). You can select recordings in

Convenience of recording

the Media Browser for playback, editing, or transferring (archiving) to a DVD+RW, DVD+R.

Your DVD Recorder is equipped with the GUIDE Plus+®System. The GUIDE Plus+ guide that lists all the TV programmes available in your area. The guide information is sent together with your TV signal so there's nothing to load or buy. The service is free! You can also use the GUIDE Plus+ recorder to record your favourite shows.

With the push of a button, you will see a summary of all the TV programmes currently being shown on the various TV channels. For the summary, you can either display all shows for a particular start time or sorted according to category.

ENGLISH

Thanks to the built-in 80GB HDD it is possible to store up to 130 hours of recordings directly in the machine. The DVD-Recorder starts recording the current TV show as soon it is switched on. Everything you watch through the DVD-recorder is stored in the 'Time Shift Buffer'. If you decide to record the show you are watching, press the record

Convenience of editing

Convenience of archiving

Each recording on the HDD can be copied (archived) on a DVD+RW, DVD+R. This will be done at high speed (20 times faster than the time it took to record), so you will get a disc which contains e.g. a recording of 5 hours in record mode M4 in about 30 minutes. During archiving you can still watch TV programmes and record them in the Time Shift Buffer.

button and the complete show will be stored on the HDD even if you switch off the DVD-recorder. If the HDD fills up with recordings you can switch on the Auto-delete function, and the oldest recording will be automatically deleted.

The data from the GUIDE Plus+®system is also used to automatically name the shows. You can edit the name, 'hide' unwanted scenes, divide titles and change the index picture which identifies the recording.

If the position of the remote (IR) receiver is indicated on your external

receiver (IR, remote sensor, or such like), place the transmitter

J about 1 to 10 cm in front of it.

If the position is not indicated, proceed as follows:

- Switch off the external receiver.

- Point the remote control at the front of the external receiver.

- Move the remote control slowly along the front while repeatedly pressing the on/off button.

- When the external receiver switches on or off, you've found the receiver.

- Attach the G-LINK transmitter

J about one to 10 cm in front of it.

Connecting additional devices via aerial cable only

The DVD-Recorder must be connected directly to the TV via a scart cable. If there is an additional device (e.g. a video recorder) in between, the picture quality may be poor because of the copy protection system built into the DVD-Recorder.

The additional device must be connected before the DVD recorder (additional device - DVD recorder - TV). Only the TV must be connected to the TV OUT

If there is picture interference when the additional device is switched on, a TV broadcaster may be transmitting on the same channel or a channel very close to that of the additional device. (e.g.: TV broadcaster on channel 45, additional device also on channel 45). In this case, change the channel of the additional device. Consult the instruction manual of the additional device. You must also store this channel on the DVD recorder to be able to record TV programmes from the additional device.

 Regional code

DVDs must be marked 'ALL' for all regions or '2' for region 2 to work in this device. If the DVD is marked with a different region, it cannot be played in this DVD recorder. The number within the globe represents the region. Regional code 2 includes: Europe, Japan, South Africa, Middle East (incl. Egypt).

 Cleaning the discs

Some malfunctions (frozen or distorted picture and broken sound for example) may be due to dirt on the disc. To avoid such problems, you should clean your discs regularly.

1 Dirty discs should be cleaned with a soft cloth. Always wipe from

the middle to the edge.

2 Do not use any solvents such as benzine, thinners, commercially

available cleaning agents, or antistatic sprays designed for vinyl records.

Can I use a CD lens cleaner in the DVD recorder?

Since the optical unit (laser) of the DVD recorder operates at a higher power level than the ones in normal DVD and CD players, such CD lens cleaner discs may actually damage the optical unit (laser).

Therefore, refrain from using a CD lens cleaner disc!

General information

Disc Manager (DM)

The 'Disc Manager' is an integrated database in the DVD recorder that remembers all recordings on DVD+RW, DVD+R discs made by this DVD recorder. This gives you a complete overview of your entire video collection at the touch of a button. The Disc Manager gives you quick and easy access to every recording made on with this DVD recorder. The Disc Manager also tells you which film was recorded on which disc and how many unrecorded minutes remain on the discs. And: You can go automatically to the beginning of the selected recording and start playback.

How many discs can I save in the Disc Manager?

You can store up to 999 discs on this DVD recorder. The maximum number of titles is more than 9,000. The maximum number of titles per disc is 49.

Caution when recording with other DVD recorders

Don't use a disc stored in the Disc Manager for recording on other DVD recorders. If you use a disc to record on another DVD recorder, then this disc will no longer be recognised by the Disc Manager.

Recording on the HDD

General

As soon as you turn on the DVD recorder, the currently selected TV channel on the DVD-Recorder is recorded in a temporary storage (Time Shift Buffer).

Recordings in the Time Shift Buffer will be automatically deleted e.g. after 3 hours if the period of the Time Shift Buffer is set to 3 hours (factory setting). Only recordings marked in the Time Shift Buffer (red bar in the Time Shift Buffer) will be stored on the the built-in HDD. For more information, read the section 'The Time Shift Buffer'.

The following additional information is stored with each recording:

name of the recording

•)

If no name is recognised from the GUIDE Plus+ the programme number (programme name) and the time will be stored as the name.

length of the recording

•)

recording mode (quality)

•)

system. This additional information can not be edited.

systems data, only

 The recoding mode

Recordings on the HDD will be carried out in an adjustable recording quality, the so-called recording mode. The higher the quality, the greater the HDD space required. The recording quality is indicated as M1, M2, M2x, M3, M4, M6, and M8. The maximum possible recording time on the HDD depends from the recording mode and the average length of the recordings (titles).

'M1': approx. 32 hours 'M2': approx. 64 hours 'M2x': approx. 80 hours 'M3': approx. 96 hours 'M4': approx. 128 hours 'M6': approx. 192 hours 'M8': approx. 250 hours

The maximum recording time for one title is 6 hours. The maximum numbers of titles is 499.

The number (M1, M2,..) indicates the number of hours that will fit on a single-layer, 4.7GB DVD+RW or DVD+R. This means that you can store only 1 hour of 'M1' recordings on a DVD+RW, DVD+R, while 8 hours of 'M8' recordings will fit on the same disc. This is particularly important when you want to copy recordings from the HDD onto a DVD+RW, DVD+R. The quality of recordings on the HDD cannot be changed at a later stage.

For example:

A 3-hour movie that was stored on the HDD in recording quality 'M1' will not fit on a DVD+RW, DVD+R (M1=1 hour on a DVD+RW, DVD+R). Only 1 hour of this movie can be copied onto a DVD+RW, DVD+R. If you recorded the same movie in recording mode M3, the entire movie would fit on a DVD+RW, DVD+R. (M3=3 hours on a DVD+RW, DVD+R).

 Useful information

When you switch on the DVD recorder, the currently selected TV programme will be recorded in the Time Shift Buffer. In order to store a recording on the HDD, you must mark it red in the Time Shift Buffer (time bar) before the Time Shift Buffer is deleted. To get full access to the edit functions of the title, you have to erase the Time Shift Buffer.

To facilitate the search of a specific position, a chapter marker is recorded every 5 minutes. How you switch off this function you will read in chapter 'User preferences/Settings I' in the section 'Preferences/Chapters'.

Films on pre-recorded DVD discs may contain scenes not suitable for children. Therefore, some discs may contain 'Parental Control' rating information that applies to the entire disc or to certain scenes on the disc. The appropriate scenes have filter values that reach from 1-8. If such a scene is detected during playback, the filter value set on the DVD recorder is compared to the scene. If the filter value is higher than the setting, an alternative scene will be played (if available). Most DVDs apply the rating to an entire DVD. Therefore, if certain scenes exceed the rating you select, the entire disc will be blocked from viewing.
