AIntroduction

Dear Philips customer,

Instruction manuals are usually very dry because they tend to be highly technical and are often
poorly translated. I have therefore been employed by Philips to help you.

Allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Phil. I will be guiding you through the instruction manual and helping you get to
know your new DVD recorder. At appropriate points along the way, I will be providing you with
the following information:

ENGLISH

Excuse me?

Here I will be
explaining seemingly
unimportant things.

I hope you have lots of fun.

Tip

Here I will be giving
you instructions on
functions that will
make it easier for
you to use your
DVD recorder.

Problem

Here I'll help you
identify the cause of
a problem and find a
solution.

For experts

Here I'll be telling
you which functions
you'll need for
special applications.

Phil

P.S. If you have any problems operating the machine, please read the section entitled 'Before you
call an engineer'. If this doesn't help you to resolve the problem, please call the customer
support service for your country.
The telephone numbers and e-mail addresses can be found on the last page of this instruction
manual.

Welcome to the growing family of owners of PHILIPS equipment.

Thank you for buying a DVDR 890/051 .
Please take the time to read this operating manual before using your DVD recorder. It contains
important information on how to set up and operate the machine.
The machine should not be placed in a warm room immediately after transport from a cold
room or vice versa. The machine should not be switched on if humidity is very high.
Wait at least three hours after transporting the machine. The DVD recorder needs this time
to acclimatise to its new environment (temperature, relative humidity, etc.).

Your Philips team hopes your
new DVD recorder will bring you
many years of enjoyment.

What is a DVD?

DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is a new storage medium that combines the
convenience of the compact disc with the latest digital video technology. DVD
video uses modern MPEG2 data compression technology that enables an
entire feature film to be stored on a single five inch disc.

How good is the resolution of DVD compared with VHS?

The razor-sharp digital images have a resolution of more than 500 lines of 720
pixels per line. This is more than twice as high as VHS and is even better than
the laser disc. Its picture quality is easily comparable to the digital masters
produced in recording studios.

What can DVD+RW do?

DVD+ReWritable uses phase change media, the same technology on which
rewritable CDs are based. A high-performance laser is used to change the
reflective properties of the recording layer; this process can be repeated more
than a thousand times.

What can the DVD+R do?

DVD+R (write-once DVD). Unlike a DVD+RW disc, this disc can only be
written to once. If it is not finalized after a recording, further recordings can
be added to it. Old recordings can be later deleted but they can no longer be
overwritten. The deleted recordings (titles) are marked 'Deleted title'.
Before this disc can be played in a DVD player, it must be finalised in the
DVD recorder. Once this process is complete, no further recordings can be
added.

What can my DVD recorder do?

Your Philips DVD recorder is a machine for recording and playing back digital
video discs with "two-way" compatibility with the universal DVD video
standard. This means:

•) existing DVD video discs can be played on the recorder.

•) recordings made on your DVD recorder can be played on other DVD
video players and DVD ROM drives.

Regional code

Since DVD films are not normally released in all parts of the world at the same time, all DVD
players have a specific regional code. Discs can be given an optional regional code. If the regional
codes differ between the player and the disc, playback is not possible.

DVDs must have the 'ALL' identifier for all regions or '2' for Region 2 for them to play in this
machine. If a different region is printed on the DVD you will not be able to play it in this DVD
recorder.
The number inside the globe indicates a region of the world.
Regional code 2 includes:
Japan, Europe, South Africa, Middle East (incl. Egypt).

Introduction

Important

Caution:
Visible and invisible laser radiation. If the cover is open, do not look at the beam.

Because of the risk of eye injuries, only qualified service engineers should open the machine and
carry out maintenance or repair work.

LASER

Typ: InGaAlP (DVD), AlGaAs(CD) semiconductor laser
Wavelength: 660nm (DVD), 780nm (CD)
Output power (outside the lens): 20mW (DVD+RW write), 0.8mW (DVD read), 0.3mW (CD
read).
Beam divergence: 82 Grad (DVD), 54 Grad (CD)

Danger. 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.

There are some components in the DVD recorder that keep running as long as the recorder is
connected to the power supply. To switch off the DVD recorder completely you must unplug it
from the power supply.

ENGLISH

If you disconnect the DVD recorder from the mains, make sure to pull out the mains plug from the
wall outlet and not only the plug from the socket 4MAINS at the back of the unit. Children
playing near the device could suffer injuries at the free end of the cable.

These operating instructions have been printed on non-polluting paper.

Please dispose of old batteries safely.

Please take the packaging to your local recycling centre.

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.

Introduction

7

When installing the recorder in a cupboard ensure there is a gap of approximately 2.5 cm (1
inch) around the recorder to enable air to circulate freely and prevent overheating.

Make sure that air can circulate freely through the ventilation slots on the machine. The machine
should be placed on a firm surface.

Make sure that no objects or liquids enter the DVD recorder. Do not place vases or similar on
the DVD recorder. If you spill liquid in the recorder, immediately disconnect it from the power
supply and call after-sales service for advice.

Keep the DVD recorder away from radiators and other heat sources and protect from direct
sunlight.

Do not place any combustible objects on the device (candles, etc.).

Make sure that children do not place any foreign objects in the openings.

Cleaning the discs

Some malfunctions (frozen or distorted picture and broken sound for example) are 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!

?

Special functions of your new DVD
recorder

Your PHILIPSDVD recorder has a number of special functions to make it easier to use and to
enhance your enjoyment.

Philips provides the best possible connection between your DVD recorder and other home
cinema equipment.

The DVD recorder will be controled by external devices (receivers, TV sets and so on) via Cinema
Link and automatically set to the right system settings.

This function automatically transfers all the television channel settings onto your DVD recorder
via the scart cable (socket EXT 1 TO TV-I/O ).

8

Introduction

Recordings made on your DVD recorder can be controlled from an external satellite receiver.

At the touch of a button, your switched off DVD recorder will check which channel is currently
playing on your television and record it.

This connector is also known as a 'FireWire' or 'IEEE 1394'. This connector is used to transmit
wide digital broadband signals that are used for digital video camcorders. Audio and video signals
are transmitted using a cable. In addition to DV and Hi8 camcorders, PCs with digital video output
can also be connected to the digital input.

Using the virtual surround process, a room with two speakers is simulated. The signal is
processed so that the impression of a room is created. The process used in this DVD recorder
is based on TruSurround technology from SRS Labs.

TruSurround and the SRS symbol are trademarks of SRS Labs., Inc. TruSurround Technology is
used under license from SRS Labs.,Inc.

This screen provides you with an overview of the inserted disc. Each index screen represents a
recording. On the right hand side of the screen you can also see a disc indicator that shows the
position and length of the current recording on the disc in a graphic format.

This function enables you to simply delete commercials or other scenes. The relevant scenes are
marked and skipped as required. This information is stored on the DVD in such a way that
other DVD players will skip the scenes.

MP3 files are highly compressed music files. The data is compressed to 1/10 of the volume of the
original audio material using a special process. This means that 10 hours of music can be stored on
a single CD.
These music CDs can be played on this machine.

ENGLISH

Normally a recording is made at the current disc position. This is the same as for a video
cassette, in the middle of the tape for example. By holding down the REC/OTR n button, the
recording will be made at the end of all the other recordings to avoid overwriting previous
recordings.
New recordings on a DVD+R disc will always be added at the end of all existing recordings.

Using your DVD recorder you can record from an RGB source such as a satellite receiver using a
SCART input (socket EXT 2 AUX I/O ). Video signals for the colours R(Red), G(Green) and
B(Blue) are transmitted via separate channels. This reduces the interference that occurs with
standard video cables.

The Philips DVD recorder can play back pre-recorded DVDs and CDs. DVDs recorded using
this DVD recorder can be played back on current and future DVD players.

The remote control and its batteries are packed separately in the original DVD recorder
packaging. You must install the batteries in the remote control before use - described in the
following section.

1 Take the remote control of the DVD recorder and the enclosed

batteries (2 batteries).

2 Open the battery compartment, insert the batteries as shown and

then close the battery compartment.

The remote control is now ready to use.
Its range is approximately 5 to 10 meters.

'Aim' correctly

In the following sections, you will need the remote control for the first time.
Always point the front of the remote control at the DVD recorder and not at
the TV set.

Tip

Connecting your DVD recorder to the TV
set

The necessary cable connections must be made before you can record or playback TV
programmes using your DVD recorder.

Connect the DVD recorder directly to your TV set. If there is a video recorder in between
the picture quality may be poor because of the copy protection system built into the DVD
recorder.
We recommend that you use a scart cable to connect your TV set and DVD recorder.

What is a scart cable?

The scart or Euro AV cable serves as the universal connector for picture,
sound and control signals. With this type of connection, there is practically no
loss of quality in picture or sound transmission.

Connecting the DVD recorder

When you install your DVD recorder for the first time, select one of the following options:

'Connecting with a scart cable and Easy Link'

If your TV set is equipped with 'Easy Link, Cinema Link, NexTView Link, Q-Link, Smart Link,
Megalogic, Datalogic, ...' and you wish to use a scart cable.

What is Easy Link?

If your TV set is equipped with functions such as Easy Link, Cinema Link,
NexTView Link, Q-Link, Smart Link, Megalogic or Datalogic, which are fully
compatible with one another (TV set, DVD recorder, etc.), your DVD
recorder can exchange information with your TV set. Please see your TV's
operating instructions.

'Connecting with a scart cable without Easy Link'

If your TV set is not equipped with 'Easy Link, Cinema Link, NexTView Link, Q-Link, Smart Link,,
Megalogic, Datalogic, ...' and you wish to use a scart cable.

'Connecting with an SVideo (Y/C) cable'

If your TV set is equipped with an S-Video (SVHS) socket.

?

ENGLISH

What is an 'SVideo (Y/C) cable'?

This connecting cable, also known as the SVHS cable, is used to transmit the
brightness signal (Y signal) and colour signal (C signal) separately. This mini
DIN socket/plug is also called a Hosiden socket/plug.

'Connecting with video (CVBS) cable'

If your TV set is equipped only with a video (CVBS) socket.

What is 'Video (CVBS)'?

This socket, usually referred to as the Cinch socket, is used for transmitting
the composite video signal (FBAS, CVBS). In this method of transmission the
colour signal and the brightness signal are transmitted on the same cable. In
certain circumstances, this can lead to problems with the picture, such as
'Moiré' patterns.

General information

Which discs can I use for recording?

With this DVD recorder, you can record on two types of DVD:

DVD+RW

This disc can be written to and then the contents deleted.

this disc.
If this disc is to be played in a DVD recorder it must not be finalised.
Recordings can be added and deleted. The disc space (playback time) from the
deleted recording cannot be recovered for further recordings

Use the 'Manual recording' feature to spontaneously start recording (e.g. to record a TV show
already in progress).
In the 'Index Picture screen' select the title to be overwritten or 'Empty title' using B and

IProgramming a recording (TIMER)

General information

Use programmed recording (TIMER) to automatically start and stop a recording at a later date.
The DVD recorder will switch to the right program number and begin recording at the correct
time.
With this DVD recorder, you can pre-program up to 6 recordings within a period of one
month.

To make a programmed recording, your DVD recorder needs to know:
* the date you want to make the recording
* the program number of the TV channel
* the start and stop time of the recording
* VPS or PDC on or off
* the recording mode ('HQ/SP/SP+/LP/EP/EP+') .

This information is saved in a TIMER block.

What is 'VPS/PDC'?

'VPS' (Video Programming System)/ 'PDC'(Programme Delivery Control) are
used to control the start and duration of TV channel recordings. If a TV
programme starts earlier or ends later, the DVD recorder will still switch
itself on and off at the correct times.

What do I need to know about 'VPS/PDC'?

You must enter the start time exactly to the minute.

If you want to programme a time that is different from the VPS or PDC time,
you must switch off VPS or PDC.

Only one TV programme on a TV channel can be controlled using 'VPS/PDC'
at a time. If you want to record two or more TV programmes on a TV
channel using 'VPS/PDC', you will need to programme these as two separate
recordings.
