Welcome to the growing family of owners of PHILIPS equipment.
Thank you for buying a HDRW 720/69. The following pages contain
explanations of the main features that will help you better understand
how the HDRW 720/69 works.
You will find step-by-step descriptions of each function in the respective
chapter of the User manual.
Features
The 'HDRW 720/69' is a DVD recorder that can store TV-shows on a built-in hard disk (HDD).
Moreover, it is a DVD player that can play 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/+R media for later viewing.
But your 'HDRW 720/69' is more than just an ordinary DVD recorder with a built-in hard disk.
From now on, it's better to use your TV set just as a monitor and tune to the various TV channels from your 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.
•
Instant Replay:
You can repeat a scene of a live TV show at the touch of a button ( JUMP BACK ), as often as you like.
•
Pause Live TV
You can pause a live TV show by pressing PAUSE 9 to, say, answer a phone call, while the recording continues. By pressing PLAY G , you
can resume playback of the show at the scene it was interrupted.
Time Shift Buffer
The above features are available because the 'HDRW 720/69' uses a so-called 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 you watched a TV show for more than 60 seconds, the recorder will insert a marker.
If the Time Shift Buffer is full (the default setting is 3 hours) the recorder will delete the oldest
recording to make room for new recordings. You can mark TV shows or parts of these to be recorded
permanently on the HDD while the other contents of the Time Shift Buffer will be deleted.
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, 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 default setting is 3 hours).
As long as the packages are still on the conveyor belt, you can mark them red ( REC/OTR n ) or remove the marker ( RED function button).
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 (marked red) or
destroyed (unmarked). Only the packages that are marked red will be stored.
If you delete the Time Shift Buffer, the recorder will immediately remove all packages from the belt, storing only those you marked red.

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 a DVD while the HDD records a TV show.
•
store (archive) a TV show from the HDD to a DVD+RW/+R while another show is being recorded on the HDD.
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 ('Recording Date', 'Protected'...). You can select recordings
in the Media Browser for playback, editing, or storage on a DVD+RW/+R (archiving). Moreover, you
can lock recordings that you can only play back after entering a valid PIN code. If you haven't entered a
PIN code yourself, then the PIN code is '0000'.
Changing the PIN code
1 Press DISC MENU and then SYSTEM MENU ,
2 Select 'A' with D , then select the '(Disc features)' symbol with B , and confirm with C .
3 Confirm 'Access control' with C and enter the 4-digit code. Re-enter the code for confirmation and press SYSTEM MENU to end.
For more information, read chapter 'Access control (child lock)' in the user manual.
Archiving titles on a DVD+RW/+R
You can copy (archive) recordings from the HDD to a DVD+RW/+R.
To do so, select the desired recording in the Media Browser and press the 'ARCHIVE' colour function button. That's all!
Since the archiving process will take some time, you can switch to a different TV programme in the meantime by pressing CHANNEL q ,
CHANNEL r . Please note that you cannot use the FlexTime, Instant Replay, and Pause LiveTV features of the Time Shift Buffer or play back a
recording from the HDD during the archiving process, since the HDD is already playing back a recording (copying from the HDD to the
DVD+RW/+R). Nevertheless, it is possible to make recordings into the Time Shift Buffer (the Time Shift Buffer is filled). If you turn off the DVD
recorder using STANDBY m , the archiving process will continue until it is completed, and then the DVD-Recorder will switch off automatically.
Time Shift Buffer (continued)
The Time Shift Buffer is the heart of your 'HDRW 720/69'. All recordings, except those via the front sockets, will be made into the Time Shift
Buffer first.
You can mark a recording to be stored permanently on the HDD.
Recordings are copied on the HDD when:
•
the preset Time Shift Buffer period expires (the default setting is 3 hours)
•
the Time Shift Buffer is deleted ('Flush Buffer'function( SYSTEM MENU button, 'Set up'menu ))
•
you turn off the DVD recorder with STANDBY m
•
you switch to camera mode using CAM (switch back with the same button).
•
date/time or channel settings have changed (menu is called up).
You can either set markers yourself or the DVD recorder can set such markers automatically, e.g. : timer recordings. The Time Shift Buffer keeps
record of which TV shows you watched during the last hours. This is shown using the so-called time bar with a series of recorded programmes on
the screen.
On the right-hand side, you can see a moving IIIIIIIIII symbol indicating that the Time Shift Buffer is being filled.
On the left-hand side, you can also see a moving IIIIIIIIII symbol indicating that the Time Shift Buffer is being emptied, i.e. recordings are being

discarded. The programmes in the Time Shift Buffer are separated by a vertical line. The name of the TV show is displayed above the line. The
time information on both sides of the time bar indicate the start and end time of the Time Shift Buffer. The current recording time is on the
right-hand end, and the oldest recording on the left-hand end.
Navigation in the Time Shift Buffer
You can move to any position within the Time Shift Buffer and watch the recording that was stored at that time.The indicator (yellow rectangle on
the time bar) shows the playback position in the Time Shift Buffer. You can move this indicator using the C , D buttons. If the playback position
is as far on the right-hand side as it can get, you are watching the current (live) picture of the TV channel you are tuned in. In the header of the
Time Shift Buffer, you will see an aerial symbol (contrary to the HDD symbol that appears when playing back from the HDD).
The following is a short overview of the basic buttons for navigation in the Time Shift Buffer:
N , JUMP BACK , D
When you reach the left end of the time bar, the recorder will switch to normal playback speed.
O , JUMP FWD , C
When you reach the right end of the time bar, you are watching the current TV programme. It is not possible to move further to the right. In
order to do so, the recorder would have to anticipate the future programme. You can use O to 'catch up' with the current TV programme.
PAUSE 9 If you stopped playback, the indicator will remain at that position until the preset time of the Time Shift Buffer has reached that
position (the indicator reaches the left end of the time bar). When it reaches the end, the DVD recorder will automatically switch to playback.
PLAY G Playback at normal speed. The limits of the Time Shift Buffer cannot be exceeded.
Recordings using the Time Shift Buffer
Recordings are always stored in the Time Shift Buffer first.
The following recording options are available:
•
Programmed recordings (TIMER) that will be carried out automatically at a predefined date/time
•
Direct recording of the current, live TV programme.
•
Marking of TV shows that have already been stored in the Time Shift Buffer.
You can mark recordings in the Time Shift Buffer to store them on the HDD instead of having them discarded when the Time shift Buffer period
expires. When a TV show is marked, a red marker appears on the time bar of the Time Shift Buffer. This marker indicates the recording. You
don't need to do anything else.
The DVD recorder automatically transfers a show to the HDD when:
•
the preset Time Shift Buffer period expires (the default setting is 3 hours).
•
the Time Shift Buffer is deleted ('Flush Buffer'function( SYSTEM MENU button, 'Set up'menu )).
•
you turn off the DVD recorder with STANDBY m .
•
you switch to camera mode using CAM (switch back with the same button).
•
date/time or channel settings have changed (menu is called up).
In the case of programmed recordings, the marker is set automatically. After that, the recording is also automatically stored on the HDD. When a
red marker has been set, you do not need to do anything else. Even if you turn off the recorder with STANDBY m , the recording will be stored
first before the DVD recorder automatically switches off.

Programming a recording
You have the following options for programming a recording:
The G<Code
®
system:
By entering the G-Code programming number, you automatically set start/stop time, date, and programme number
Manual programming.
Manually started recordings
To record the current TV show, press REC/OTR n .
If you want to stop the recording, press the STOP h button. Select 'Yes' using D and confirm with OK .
If you want to mark a TV programme in the Time Shift Buffer, move the button on the time bar using C , D within the desired programme and
press REC/OTR n . To remove the marker, press the RED function button. The time bar must be visible. ( INFO button)
Recording 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 number 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/+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/+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/+R (M1=1 hour on a DVD+RW/+R). Only 1
hour of this movie can be copied onto a DVD+RW/+R. If you recorded the same movie in recording mode M3, the entire movie would fit on a
DVD+RW/+R. (M3=3 hours on a DVD+RW/+R).
A few closing instructions
If you have any problems operating the device:
1) Read the items in the section 'Before you call an engineer'
2) Visit the Internet site http://www.philips.com/support to get some online help,
3) Call the customer support service. You will find the telephone numbers at the back of the User manual.

Discs you can use
The following discs can be used in your DVD recorder for playback
and recording:
Recording and playback
DVD+RW (Digital Versatile Disc + rewriteable)
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.
DVD+R (Digital Versatile Disc + recordable)
Unlike a DVD+RW disc, this disc can only be written to
once. If it is not finalised after a recording, further
recordings can be added to it. Old recordings can be later

Special functions of your DVD recorder
Your PHILIPSDVD recorder has a number of special functions to make it easier to use and to
enhance your enjoyment.
You can operate the main functions on your television using your DVD-Recorder recorder remote
control, even if your television is not a Philips.
You can upgrade the software of your DVD-Recorder with a CD-ROM.
On the web site http://www.p4c.philips.com under the model number 'HDRW 720/69' you will find
the data and the upgrade information.
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.
This screen tells you what's on the 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 unwanted scenes. The relevant scenes are marked and
skipped as required. If you store (archive) such titles on a DVD+RW/+R you can decide if you want
to store the original title (with the hidden scenes) or the edited title (without the hidden scenes).
MP3 CDs can be played on this machine.
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.
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.
Dolby Digital is a standard developed by Dolby Laboratories for transmitting from 1 to 5 full-range
channels as well as a low frequency (.1) channel for a total of 5.1 discrete channels. The
loudspeakers are arranged front left, front middle, front right, rear left and rear right. This system is
currently the most common system and is used in cinemas.
With this DVD recorder each soundtrack in 2-channel Dolby Digital is recorded onto a
DVD+RW/+R.

the TV set (usually labelled 'Audio in' or 'AV in'. See TV operating
instructions).
O Read the next chapter 'Connecting additional devices' on how
to connect additional devices (satellite receivers,
videorecorders,...) to the input-/output sockets.
Then, read the chapter on 'Connecting to the mains'.
Connecting the DVD recorder
17
Connection with video (CVBS) cable
This cable, usually with yellow Cinch connectors, 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 slight problems with the picture, such as 'Moiré' patterns.
1 Insert one end of a video (CVBS) cable into the yellow Cinch
socket VIDEO OUT (CVBS) at the back of the DVD recorder
and the other end into the video input socket (usually yellow) on
the TV set (usually labelled 'Video in' or 'AV in'. See TV operating
instructions).
2 Insert one end of an audio (Cinch) cable into the red/white Cinch
socket AUDIO OUT L/R at the back of the DVD recorder and
the other end into the audio input socket (usually red/white) on
the TV set (usually labelled 'Audio in' or 'AV in'. See TV operating
instructions).
O Read the next chapter 'Connecting additional devices' on how
to connect additional devices (satellite receivers,
videorecorders,...) to the input-/output sockets.
Then, read the chapter on 'Connecting to the mains'.
Connection with the aerial cable only
To connect this DVD-Recorder to a TV set without external
Audio/Video input sockets, you need a modulator. With the modulator
the audio/video signal is converted in an UHF-channel. This signal can
be received and stored on the TV as a TV-station.
Connecting to the mains

recorder'.
ENGLISH
Connecting the DVD recorder
18
Connecting a video recorder, DVD player.
You can connect a video recorder or a DVD player to the EXT2
AUX-I/O input socket.
The DVD recorder must be connected directly to the TV set ( EXT1
TO TV-I/O socket directly to the 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.
O If you already have an external receiver (satellite receiver,
set-top box, cable TV box) connected to this socket, you can
connect the video recorder to the 'VCR', 'TO VCR', ...socket
of the external receiver.
O You can also use the front sockets S-VIDEO (CAM1) ,
VIDEO (CAM1) and the L AUDIO R (CAM1) audio
sockets.
For more information read the chapter 'Recording on the
HDD'.
Connecting an external receiver
1 Connect the output sockets of the receiver (satellite receiver,
set-top box, cable TV box,...) provided for the TV set (usually
labelled 'TV', 'TO TV',...) with the EXT2 AUX-I/O socket of the
DVD recorder.
Connecting additional receivers
For additional receivers, you can also use the EXT1 TO
TV-I/O socket (if the TV set is connected only with the aerial cable or
with the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT sockets).
Connecting additional devices only via
aerial cable
If you want to connect additional devices (e.g. satellite receiver...) only
via aerial cable, please observe the following:
The DVD-Recorder must be connected directly to the TV set. If there
is a video recorder or an additional device in between, the picture
quality may be poor because of the copy protection system built into
the DVD-Recorder.
The additional device (satellite receiver) must be connected before the
DVD recorder (additional device - DVD recorder - TV set). Only the
TV set must be connected to the TV OUT socket.
If there is interference in the picture 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 (satellite receiver)
also on channel 45). In this case, change the channel of the additional
device (satellite receiver). 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 (satellite receiver).
Switch on the additional device during the installation of the DVD recorder.
During the automatic channel search, the channel on which the additional
device is transmitting will be stored as a TV channel.
Connecting additional devices
19
Connecting a camcorder to the front
sockets
To copy camcorder recordings, you can use the front sockets. These
sockets are located behind the flap on the right hand side.
Recordings from the front sockets were stored on the HDD to make
editing easy. Then you can transfer (archive) them on a DVD+RW/+R.
Digital (DV) input socket
If you have a DV or Digital 8 camcorder, connect the DV IN
(CAM2) input of the DVD recorder to the appropriate DV output on
the camcorder.

'Subpictures' (Play back from HDD) or the'
E
' (DVD Play back)
function.
S<video input socket
If you have a Hi8 or S-VHS(C) camcorder, connect the S-VIDEO
(CAM1) input of the DVD recorder to the appropriate S-VHS output
on the camcorder.
You must also connect the audio input L AUDIO R (CAM1) on the
DVD recorder to the audio output on the camcorder.
Choose 'CAM1' as a programme number for this input.
Video (CVBS) input socket
If you have a camcorder that only has a single video output (Composite
Video, CVBS), connect the VIDEO (CAM1) input on the DVD
recorder to the appropriate output on the camcorder.
You must also connect the audio input L AUDIO R (CAM1) on the
DVD recorder to the audio output on the camcorder.
Choose 'CAM1' as a programme number for this input.
Connecting audio devices to the
analogue audio sockets
Two analogue audio sockets AUDIO OUT L/R (audio signal output
left/right) are located at the back of the DVD recorder.
These can be used to connect the following:
•) a receiver with Dolby Surround Pro Logic
•) a receiver with two<channel analogue stereo
Can I use the 'Phono' input on my amplifier?
This socket (input) on the amplifier is designed only for a record player
without preamplifiers. Do not use this input for connecting the DVD
recorder.
The DVD recorder or the amplifier may be damaged as a result.
Connecting audio devices to the digital
audio sockets
At the back of the DVD recorder there are two digital audio output
sockets OPTICAL OUT for an optical cable and COAX OUT for a
coaxial cable (Cinch cable).
These can be used to connect the following:
•) an A/V receiver or an A/V amplifier with a digital
multi<channel sound decoder
•) a receiver with two<channel digital stereo (PCM)
Digital multi-channel sound
Digital multi-channel sound offers the best possible sound quality. You
will need a multi-channel A/V receiver or amplifier that supports at least
one of the audio formats of the DVD recorder (MPEG2 and Dolby
Digital).
Consult the operating instructions for your receiver to find out which
audio formats it supports.
a All I can hear from my loudspeakers is a loud distorted
noise
b The receiver is not compatible with the digital audio format of the
DVD recorder. The audio format of the DVD disc is displayed in the
status window when you switch to another language. Playback in
six-channel digital surround sound is only possible if the receiver has
a digital multi-channel sound decoder.

Connection using a component video
(Y Pb Pr/YUV) cable (no progressive
scan)
Component video (Y Pb Pr) is the highest quality picture transmission
option. This is achieved by dividing the video signal into a luminance
signal (Y) and two colour difference signals - red minus luminance (V)
and blue minus luminance (U). As a rule, "Cr, Pr" or "R-Y" is used to
describe the red difference signal and "Cb, Pb" or "B-Y" the blue
difference signal.
These signals are transmitted through separate lines. The connectors of
this cable and the corresponding sockets are usually green (luminance,
Y), blue (U, Pb, Cb, B-Y), and red (V, Pr, Cr, R-Y).
Attention!
If you choose this type of connection, the DVD recorder must already
be connected and completely installed (initial installation complete).
Switching of the signal to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT sockets is
carried out in a menu that is not yet available during the initial
installation.
Preparation:
•) Switch on the TV set, and if necessary, select the programme number for the

sockets (red, blue, green) COMPONENT VIDEO OUT at the
back of the DVD recorder with the corresponding three
component video (interlaced) input sockets of your TV set, usually
labelled 'Component Video Input', 'YUV Input', 'YPbPr', 'YCbCr' or
simply 'YUV'.
Warning!
Do not confuse these sockets with the five-component RGB
sockets (if available) or the yellow video (CVBS/FBAS) socket and
the two audio sockets (red/white). The five-component RGB
sockets are only provided for the R-G-B-H-V signals (red, green,
blue with horizontal and vertical synchronisation impulse).
Please observe the colour sequence
The colours of the sockets at the DVD recorder and the connectors
must match those of the socket colours at the TV set
(red-red/blue-blue/green-green). If they don't, the colours of the picture
may get mixed up or the picture may not be visible.
8 Use an audio (cinch) cable, connect the red/white cinch socket
AUDIO OUT L/R at the back of the DVD recorder with the
most coloured red/white audio input socket of your TV set
(usually labelled 'Audio in' or 'AV in'. See the instruction manual of
your TV set.)

(Interlaced) input sockets. If there is a switch or selection on your

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 will
be stored on the the built-in HDD. For more information, read the
next section 'The Time Shift Buffer'.
The following additional information is stored with each recording:
•) name of the recording
If no name is recognised, only the programme number (programme
name) and the time will be stored as the name.
•) length of the recording
•) recording mode (quality)
•) date of the recording
•) index picture of the recording
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 for the HDD' in the section
'Preferences/Chapters'. After the recording is completed, you can
select these markers with N , O . Please make sure that the
chapter selection is activated (the 'CHAPTER' symbol lights up in the
info bar at the top of the screen). If necessary, you can activate it using
T/C .
The Time shift Buffer
As a result of the high data transfer speed of the HDD, it is possible to
play back recordings from the time shift buffer while the recording is
still in process.
Therefore, you can jump back to the currently selected TV programme
using JUMP BACK and watch a scene again.
Moreover, you can use all playback features such as still picture, slow
motion, search by time, search with N , O even with recordings
that are still in the time shift buffer.
In the meantime, the recording continues.
If you switch to another TV channel on the DVD-Recorder
( CHANNEL q , CHANNEL r ) a new title is created with the new
TV channel in the time shift buffer. If you watch a TV show only for a
short time (less than 60 seconds) before you change to a different TV
channel, no new title is created.
For easier navigation, you can change the time period of the time shift
buffer from 1 to 6 hours. 1 hour means that a recording is available
only for one hour before it is automatically deleted to make room for
the current recording.
What is the advantage from 1 hour and 6 hours?
The complete time periode of the time will be displayed on the whole screen
of your TV.
With 1 hour you will get the highest comfort for searching a specific scene.
With 6 hours you will get the highest possible recording time.
Please observe that the Time shift Buffer needs also storage capacity on the
HDD. Depending of the selected record mode (picture quality):
6 hours in 'M1' = approx. 28GB
6 hours in 'M8' = approx. 3,4GB
How you enter the time periode, read in the chapter 'User preferences for
the HDD' in the section 'Preferences'/'Recording'/ 'HDD buffer'.

General information
The 'Disc Manager' is an integrated database in the DVD recorder that
remembers all recordings on DVD+RW/+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

recorded.
Adding 'child-proof discs'

'video output'
Since RGB and S-VIDEO signals sometimes use the same connections
on a scart cable, the two signals cannot be transmitted simultaneously.
With these settings, you can decide whether RGB or S-VIDEO signals
are to be transmitted. This setting affects only the scart sockets of the
DVD recorder ( EXT1 TO TV-I/O output socket and EXT2
AUX-I/O input socket).
Please also observe which signals are available at which scart socket of
the TV set or how the scart sockets need to be switched.
If necessary, consult the instruction manual of your TV set.
O 'RGB'
Depending on the TV set you are using, switching between the
'RGB' and the 'Video(CVBS/FBAS)' signal is done automatically.
If the picture scrolls to the side or colour quality problems
appear on some TV sets when the setting is 'RGB', you must
select 'CVBS only'.
O 'S-Video'
Only the S-Video signal will be processed at both scart sockets
( EXT1 TO TV-I/O output socket and EXT2 AUX-I/O input
socket).
In case the scart socket of the TV set is not suitable for
S-VIDEO (Y/C) signals, you will only see a black&white
picture, although the recording will be made in colour.
Moreover, only the video (CVBS, FBAS) signal will be used for
recordings via the EXT1 TO TV-I/O scart socket.
Please observe that when making recordings from a video
recorder that transmits only video (CVBS/FBAS) signals
through the scart cable, recordings via scart socket EXT2
AUX-I/O may be made in black and white.
Therefore, use this setting with caution.
O 'CVBS only'
Only the video (CVBS/FBAS) signal is transmitted, regardless
of the video signals (RGB, Y/C) at the scart sockets. This
setting is selected automatically when no 'RGB' or 'S-VIDEO'
signal is detected at the scart socket.
When selecting the settings 'S-Video'or'CVBS only', the RGB signal
is switched off.
The 'RGB' signal is switched off.
O 'S-video + YPbPr'
Component Video (YUV) and S-Video(Y/C).
'TIMER' input screen only available on YUV ouput sockets.
O 'CVBS + YPbPr'

With all other settings, the signal is switched off at the COMPONENT
VIDEO OUT sockets. This will also be displayed as information on the
screen.

'Analogue output'
You can select one of the following settings for devices that are
connected to the analogue audio output ( AUDIO OUT L/R ):
O 'Stereo'
For devices without DolbySurround or TruSurround. Use this
setting if the DVD recorder is only connected to a stereo TV
set.
O 'Surround'
Dolby Digital and MPEG-2 multi-channel are mixed down to a
Dolby Surround-compatible two-channel output signal.
For devices with Dolby Surround / Pro Logic Decoder .

Chapters
Also known as 'scenes', a DVD movie can be broken up into sections
much like the chapters of a book, that can be accessed quickly and
easily via the DVD menu or remote control.
Component Video (Y Pb Pr)
This method of transmitting pictures produces the highest quality as
the video signal is split into its Y (brightness), U and V (blue minus
brightness, red minus brightness) components. The signals are
transmitted via separate cables. The plugs on these cables and the
associated sockets are mostly coloured red, green and blue.
NICAM
NICAM is a digital sound transmission system. Using NICAM, you can
transmit either 1 stereo channel or 2 separate mono channels.
However, if reception is poor and the sound distorted you can turn off
NICAM.
NTSC
National Television Systems Committee. The colour TV broadcast
system used in the US, Canada and Japan. An NTSC picture is made up
of 525 horizontal lines and has inferior picture quality in comparison to
the PAL system. All Australian-sold DVD players are NTSC compatible,
however DVD's that are played on a television that is not compatible
will appear in black and white.
PAL
Phase Alternating Line. The colour TV broadcast system used in
Australia, UK & Europe. A PAL picture delivers a better quality picture
than NTSC due to its 625 horizontal lines (sharper picture and better
colours).
Region 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 a regional code. If the regional codes differ between the player
and the disc, playback is not possible.
The regional code of the DVD recorder is shown on the type plate at
the back or bottom.
2<channel sound
Some TV programmes transmit an extra audio signal in stereo in
addition to the normal audio signal (2-channel sound). In most cases
this means that an additional language is available. If a TV programme is
available in, say, English and German, German may be available as the
second language.
To record TV programmes in 2-channel sound, you can select the
language you want as the default setting. This setting does not become
active until the sound of a TV programme is transmitted in 2-channel
sound.
When you play back the recording you can play back the sound only in
the language you used for the recording.
Macrovision
Macrovision is a copy-protection technique intended to keep you from
making copies of DVDs with your VCR. It works by continuously
adjusting the video signal level that results in a recording where the
brightness of the picture continuously fluctuates between light and
dark, and the color levels fluctuate between oversaturated and washed
out. Macrovision "encoded" DVDs contain a bit of data that tells the
DVD player to activate its internal macrovision circuitry in order to
prevent copying.
