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:

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 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.

Recording and playback of material may require consent. See Copyright Act 1956 and The Performer’s Protection Acts 1958 to 1972.

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 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.

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 recorder 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.

Care and Safety Information

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 precautions

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). – 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.

10cm (4.5")

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 6 (six) 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.

Product Information (continued)

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.

Pause Live TV

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 programming number associated with your television programme. You can ﬁnd this number in your favourite listings magazine.

The GUIDE Plus+ system lists your TV channel programming information. You can use it to schedule recordings, glance at upcoming programme content, or change channels at your external receiver/cable box using this recorder’s remote control.

TIPS: Ensure that there is sufﬁcient space available on the recordable DVD before recording.

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

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 the 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.

The following information will be stored on the disc : – Recording mode – Title/name of recording – Date and time of recording – Index picture of title

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 ﬁnalised. – 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 ﬁnalised (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. The layers are accessible from the same side of the disc, so recording can occur completely uninterrupted.

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.

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.

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

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 speciﬁc intervals.

What does “ﬁnalising” 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 ﬁnalising 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

(high quality)

(standard play)

SPP

Frequently Asked Questions (continued)

What is HDMI?

High-Deﬁnition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a high-speed digital interface that can transmit uncompressed high deﬁnition video and digital multichannel audio. It delivers perfect picture and sound quality, completely free from noise. HDMI is fully backward-compatible with DVI.

As required by the HDMI standard, connecting to HDMI or DVI products without DHCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) will result in no Video or Audio output.

What is video upscalling?

With Video Upscalling you can increase the resolution of the DVD video signals from SD (Standard Deﬁnition) to HD (High Deﬁnition). The High Deﬁnition output can only fed through the YPbPr and HDMI connections.

This recorder allows you to increase the picture resolution up to 720p and 1080i. Before adjusting the setting, make sure that your television is able to support the video resolution or standard.

HDD (Hard disk drive): This is a mass data storage device used in computers, etc. Disks are ﬂat, 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 ﬁle 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.
