Introduction

DVD Video Recorder

DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is the new storage medium that combines the convenience of the Compact Disc with the latest advanced digital video technology. DVD-Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG2 data compression technology to register an entire movie on a single 5-inch disc. DVD’s variable bitrate compression, running at up to 9.8 Mbits/second, captures even the most complex pictures in their original quality. The crystal-clear digital pictures have a horizontal resolution of over 500 lines, with 720 pixels (picture elements) to each line. This resolution is more than double that of VHS, superior to Laser Disc, and entirely comparable with digital masters made in recording studios.

DVD recording is the next step in video technology. DVD+ReWritable (DVD+RW) uses phase-change media, the same technology that formed the basis for CDReWritable. A high-power laser is used to change the reflectivity of the recording layer. This process can be repeated more than a thousand times. DVD+Recordable (DVD+R) uses discs based on an organic dye, a technology pioneered with the successful CDRecordable format, to produce discs that keep your data for a lifetime.

With it, you will be able to record TV programmes or to edit and archive your own camcorder recordings. Superb digital picture and sound quality, quick access to the tracks you have recorded and extensive playback features contribute to a completely new video experience.

From now on you will enjoy full-length movies with true cinema picture quality, and stereo or Multi-channel sound (depending on the disc, and on your playback setup).You will find your recorder remarkably easy to use, by way of the On-Screen Display on your TV and the display on the DVD recorder, in combination with the remote control.

Your Philips DVD recorder is a recorder and player for digital video discs, with a two-way compatibility to the universal DVD-Video standard. This means that:

- existing pre-recorded DVD-Video discs can be played on your Philips DVD recorder and

- recordings, made on your Philips DVD recorder, can be played on most DVD-Video players and DVD-ROM drives.

Cleaning discs

First check and identify the contents of your DVD recorder package, as listed below:

- DVD recorder

- Remote Control Handset with separately-packed batteries

- 2-core power cord

- SCART cable

- S-video cable

- Antenna (aerial) cable

- Audio cable

- Video cable

- DVD+RW disc

- User Manual

- Warranty card

If any item should be damaged or missing, please inform your supplier without delay.

Keep the packaging materials; you may need them to transport your recorder in the future.

Placement

Some problems may occur because the disc inside the recorder is dirty. To avoid these problems clean your discs regularly, in the following way:

l When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning

cloth. Wipe the disc from the centre out.

Caution: Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for analogue discs. Do not use commercially available cleaning discs to clean the lens, as these discs may damage the optical unit.

Remote control

Loading the batteries

English

l Place the recorder on a firm, flat surface. l Keep away from domestic heating equipment and

direct sunlight.

l In a cabinet, allow about 2.5 cm (1 inch) of free

space all around the recorder for adequate ventilation.

l The lense may cloud over when the DVD recorder

is suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings. Playing a CD/DVD is not possible then. Leave the DVD recorder in a warm environment for two hours before use, so the moisture can evaporate.

l The recorder should not be exposed to dripping or

splashing, no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the recorder.

l Open the battery compartment cover. l Insert two 'AA' (LR-6) batteries as indicated inside

the battery compartment.

l Close the cover.

Caution: Do not mix old and new batteries. Never mix different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, etc.). This may reduce the lifetime of the batteries.

Installation

Connections - back side of your

S-video (Y/C) connection

DVD recorder

- Please refer to your TV set, VCR, Stereo System and any other User Manual(s) as necessary to make the optimal connections.

- Do not connect the power until all other connections are made.

- Do not connect your DVD recorder to your TV set via your VCR, because the video quality could be distorted by the copy protection system.

- For better sound reproduction you can connect the recorder audio outputs to your amplifier, receiver, stereo system or A/V equipment. For this see ‘Connecting to A/V receiver or A/V amplifier’.

Caution: Do not connect the recorder’s audio output to the phono input of your audio system in order to avoid damage to your equipment.

Connecting to the antenna

l Remove the antenna (aerial) cable plug from your

TV set and insert it into the antenna socket at the back of the DVD recorder.

l Plug one end of the antenna (aerial) cable supplied (1)

into the TV socket on the DVD recorder and the other end into the antenna input socket on your TV set.

Connecting to a TV set

To obtain the highest possible picture and sound quality from your TV set it is recommended to use the SCART connector on both DVD recorder and TV set.

l Connect the bottom SCART connector (EXT 1) to

the TV set, using the SCART cable supplied (2) as shown in the drawing. If your TV set is equipped with EasyLink or Cinema Link, make sure you use the correct scart connector. For this refer to the user manual of your TV set.

l Connect the S-video output socket to the

corresponding input socket on the TV set, using the supplied S-video cable (3).

Connecting to audio equipment

Connecting to A/V receiver or A/V amplifier with digital Multi-channel decoder

The best possible sound quality is obtained by connecting your DVD recorder to an A/V receiver with Multi-channel decoder (Dolby Digital, MPEG 2 and DTS).

Digital Multi-channel sound

Digital Multi-channel connection provides the optimum sound quality. For this you need a Multi-channel A/V receiver that supports one or more of the audio types supported by your DVD recorder (MPEG 2, Dolby Digital and DTS). For this you can check the receiver manual and the logos on the front of the receiver.

If you cannot connect your DVD recorder to an A/V receiver with Multi-channel decoder, choose one of the following alternatives.

Connecting to a receiver equipped with two channel digital stereo (PCM)

l Connect the recorder’s digital audio output to the

corresponding input on your receiver. Use the supplied video (CVBS) cable (7) or an optional digital optical audio cable (8).

l After installation you will need to activate PCM on

the DVD recorder’s digital output (see ‘User Preferences’).

Connecting to a receiver equipped with Dolby Pro Logic

English

l Connect the recorder’s digital audio output to the

corresponding input on the receiver. Use a digital coaxial cable (7) or a digital optical audio cable (8).

If you do not own a digital coaxial audio cable (not supplied), you may use the supplied video cable (4).

Note: If the audio type of the digital output does not match the capabilities of your receiver, the receiver will produce a strong, distorted sound. The audio type of the DVD disc in play is displayed in the Status Window, when changing the language. 6 Channel Digital Surround Sound via digital connection can only be obtained if your receiver is equipped with a Digital Multi-channel decoder.

Recording

Before you start recording

Recordings on a DVD disc are called ‘titles’. Every title consists of one or more chapters.

DVD+RW

TITLE 1

CHAPTER 1 CHAPTER 2 CHAPTER 3 CHAPTER 1 CHAPTER 2

TITLE 2

For more information about how to go to other titles or chapters see ‘Playback - general features’.

Important: Recordings on a DVD+RW disc are normally started from the position of the so-called disc pointer, i.e. the point where the last recording was stopped. From there on earlier recordings may be overwritten without notice, unless the disc is write protected. In this respect your DVD recorder behaves just like a Video Cassette Recorder.

If you want to make a recording without the risk of overwriting earlier recordings use the safe Record Function (see Manual Recording - Safe Record)

In the Index Picture Screen you can select the point where you want to start your recording. Use the wv (down up cursor) and 5 REVERSE / 6 FORWARD keys. You can see the the current location on the disc bar, indicated by the arrow.

Your DVD recorder always checks the disc that you have inserted:

‰ When a DVD+RW disc is inserted on which

recordings have been made, the Index Picture

Screen is shown on your TV screen.

‰ If the inserted disc is a completely empty

recordable disc, the message ‘EMPTY DISC’ appears

on the display.

‰ If the inserted disc is a DVD+RW disc with a

content that is not DVD-Video compatible (e.g. a

data disc), a dialog box is shown with the option to

erase or eject the disc. You can only record on this

disc after erasing it with the RECORD key.

Note:

- On a disc containing PAL recordings, no NTSC recordings can be made and vice versa. On an empty disc, either type of recordings can be made.

- No recordings can be made from so-called ‘Pseudo-PAL’ or PAL-60 sources.

When you have programmed the timer, a red line on the disc bar (both on the display and on the Index Picture Screen) indicates what part of the disc will be overwritten by the programmed recording from the current disc position (on DVD+RW) or after the last title (on DVD+R).

When all timer blocks are full, the options timer programming and VIDEO Plus+ programming cannot be accessed. For clearing a timer block, see ‘How to clear a timer block’.

What is ’VPS’/‘PDC’?

With ’VPS/PDC’, the TV station controls the beginning and the length of the programmed recording. This means that the video recorder switches itself on and off at the right time even if a TV programme you have programmed begins earlier or finishes later than expected. Usually the start time is the same as the VPS/PDC time. If, however, in the TV guide, in addition to a TV programmes start time, a different VPS/PDC time is given, e.g.: ’20.15 (VPS 20.14)’, you must enter ’20.14’ as the start time exactly to the minute. If you want to enter a time that differs from the VPS/PDC time, you must switch off ’VPS/PDC’.

l Insert a recordable DVD+RW or DVD+R disc. l Use CHANNEL 3 or CHANNEL 4 (on the

recorder) or CH+, CH- (on the remote control) to select the programme number (programme name) from which you wish to record.

l Press RECORD (on the recorder) or REC/OTR

in the timer box on screen. The remaining recording time is shown on the display.

Making your edits DVD-compatible

Favourite Scene Selection

If one or more titles have been edited (see ‘Favourite Scene Selection’), then the edits will play on your DVD recorder, but a DVD player may show the original versions instead of the edits. You can prepare your DVD+RW discs so that also a DVD player will show the edited version. This is not possible with DVD+R discs.

l If the Disc Settings menu shows the option ‘

edits DVD compatible

Make

menu does not show this option, then your DVD+RW disc is already compatible, and no conversion is needed.

Press OK

The basic function of any edit operations is to improve accessibility and handling of your recordings. For instance: scenes you do not want to see during playback (e.g. commercials during a movie) can be marked as chapters and made hidden. During playback you will see your recording without the hidden chapters as one sequence.

Note: In between the scenes the picture may freeze for a short moment.

Each title consists of chapters. With the FSS menu any chapter can be made hidden or made visible again. Normally, during recording, chapter markers are inserted automatically every five to six minutes (this setting can be changed in the record settings menu). After the recording is finished, you can manually add and remove chapter markers via the FSS menu. Both automatically generated and manually inserted chapter markers can be removed.

After editing, the modified version of a title is the default playback version. The original can be accessed via the ‘

Play full title

’ option in the title settings menu. Other DVD players may still play the original. To guarantee that the edited version will play on these DVD players, choose ‘

DVD+RW and DVD+R discs may not play on certain DVD Video players.

A DVD+RW video disc that has been recorded on a different type or brand of recorder can be played, but may not provide all features commonly available to DVD+RW discs, such as the on-screen disc bar, the disc settings menu, the title settings menu, and editing. Refer to ‘Adapt disc format’. If the disc is writeprotected, the status cannot be changed.

When using manual recording, the DVD recorder will warn before adapting the format of the disc or removing non-video data. When using timer recording however, the DVD recorder will always start to record, unless the disc is write-protected. Menus, edits and other data recorded on a different device (e.g. a PC) may be lost.

Because of the Variable Bit Rate, a title map take up less or more space than the overwritten title, even though the duration is the same. As a result, a part of the original title may remain, or a part of the next title may be lost. The maximum deviation is five minutes.

After a power interruption during recording, the Index Picture Screen will may not match with the actual video content on the disc. The last recorded title may be lost.
