Functioning of the device

Your Philips DVD/HDD recorder mainly consists of the following components:

Overview of functions

HDD recorder

For recording in a temporary storage on the HDD (Time shift Buffer)

As soon as you turn on the DVD/HDD recorder, it automatically records the current TV channel selected on the DVD/HDD recorder in this temporary storage. As a result, you can 'rewind' to a scene ( D ) or watch a still picture ( PAUSE 9 ), while the current TV show is still being recorded.

Recordings in the time shift buffer are only temporarily available (factory settings: 3 hours).

For storing recordings on the HDD

You can mark recordings in the time shift buffer for storage on the HDD using REC/OTR n . These recordings will be transferred to the HDD when you switch off the device using STANDBY m or when the time periode of the time shift buffer ( e.g. 3 hours) expires.

DVD Recorder

For archiving (copying) HDD recordings on a DVD+RW/+R

Recordings on the HDD can be selected in a title overview screen (Media Browser) and then copied (archived) on a DVD+RW/+R.

TV tuner

For recordings independently from your TV set

You can use your DVD/HDD recorder as a TV tuner, allowing you the comfort of pausing a running TV show and continue watching it later. You can make recordings on the HDD without having to turn on the TV set.

DVD/CD/MP3 player

For playing back recorded DVDs, CDs , CDRW/Rs

You can use this device to play back DVD+R/RWs, DVD-R/RWs, (S)Video CDs(CD-RW/R), Audio CDs(CD-RW/R), MP3 CDs(CD-RW/R) of the respective standard.

Overview of functions

Introduction

Welcome to the growing family of owners of PHILIPS equipment. Thank you for buying a HDRW 720/00-02 .

Time-shift TV viewing is possible with the hard disk drive (HDD) in your DVD-Recorder./Hard Disk By storing the recording in a time shift buffer, you can 'rewind' to a scene you missed while the current TV show is still being recorded.

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).

Moreover, you can play back a DVD disc or a recorded title from the HDD while the current TV channel is being recorded in the background.

You can store recordings from the time shift buffer on the built-in HDD and transfer (archive) them later on a DVD+RW/+R disc.

Furthermore your Philips DVD Recorder /Hard Disk is a device for recording on DVD+RW/+R Discs and for playing digital video discs see next chapter. In the rest of the user manual the DVD Recorder/Hard Disk will be mentioned as DVD-Recorder.

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 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.

Playback only

DVD Video (Digital Versatile Disc) is a 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.

ENGLISH

Introduction

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 720/00-02' you will find the data and the upgrade information.

With this function you can align the sequence of the TV channels from the DVD-Recorder with that from yor TV.

With this function the recording on the DVD-Recorder can be controlled via the scart socket. You can use this function if you have a satellite receiver that can control other devices via a scart cable and has a programming function (timer). For more information, consult the instruction manual of your satellite receiver.

At the touch of a button your DVD recorder, even though it is switched off, 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.

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.

Using your DVD recorder you can record from an RGB source such as a satellite receiver using a SCART input ( EXT2 AUX-I/O socket). 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.

Introduction

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.

Connecting to the TV

Choose from the following connections:

Connection with scart cable Connection with Svideocable Connection with Video (CVBS) cable Connection with the aerial cable only

Connection with 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.

1 Plug a scart cable into the scart socket EXT1 TO TV-I/O at the

back of the DVD recorder and the scart socket for the DVD recorder at the back of the TV set (see TV set operating instructions).

Several scart sockets on the TV?

Select the scart socket that is suitable for both video output and for video input.

Selection menu for the scart socket?

On some TV sets select 'VCR' as the source for this scart socket. Read your instruction manual for your TV set for further information.

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

Connection with 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.

1 Insert one end of an S-Video(SVHS) cable into the S-VIDEO

OUT (Y/C) socket at the back of the DVD recorder and the other

end into the S-Video (SVHS) input socket on the TV set (usually labelled 'S-Video in' or 'SVHS 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).

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

ENGLISH

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'.

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 the DVD recorder

Connecting to the mains

Always check if the local mains voltage matches the voltage range printed on the type plate at the back or bottom of the DVD-recorder. If not consult your dealer or the customer support from your country.

1 Switch on the TV set.

2 Insert one end of the supplied mains cable into the mains socket

4MAINS at the back of the DVD recorder and the other end

into the wall socket.

P The most important features of the DVD recorder will appear

in scrolling text on the display.

After the first installation is completed this function will be switched off. How you switch on this function again, read in the chapter 'User preferences' in the section 'standby'.

Then, read the paragraph on 'Initial installation' in 'Installing your DVD recorder'.

Connecting additional devices

Connecting additional devices to the second scart socket

You can connect additional devices such as decoders, satellite receivers, camcorders, etc. to the EXT2 AUX-I/O socket.

When playback is started on this additional device the DVD recorder automatically connects the EXT2 AUX-I/O scart socket with the

EXT1 TO TV-I/O scart socket. You will then see the picture from the additional device on your TV set, even if the DVD recorder is switched off.

O The TV/HDD button on the remote control allows you to

switch between playback through the EXT2 AUX-I/O scart socket and playback from the DVD recorder.

Connecting an external receiver

1 Connect the scart socket 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.

O If your external receiver offers several options for the signal

available at the 'TV', 'TO TV',... socket, choose the 'RGB' setting.

Why can't I use the 'VCR', 'TO VCR',... socket?

In order to achieve the best possible picture quality, you must use the RGB (red-green-blue) signal of the receiver. As a rule, this signal is available at the 'TV', 'TO TV',... socket. The DVD recorder transfers the signal to the EXT1 TO TV-I/O socket.

Some receivers only provide a 'Video (CVBS/FBAS)' signal at the 'VCR', 'TO VCR'...socket. If you are satisfied with the picture quality of the 'VCR', 'TO VCR',... socket, you can also use this socket. Read the instruction manual of the receiver which signals are available at the sockets.

Connecting additional receivers

For additional receivers, you can also use the EXT1 TO TV-I/O socket (if the TV set is connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT sockets).

ENGLISH

Connecting a video recorder, DVD player.

You can also 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 additional devices

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.

Connect 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. Choose 'CAM2' as a programme number for this input.

During recording on the HDD or a DVD+RW/+R the original recording date and time are stored as DVD subtitles. On playback, this data can be displayed on the TV screen by using the '

' function (Subtitle).

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.

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.

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).

Connecting additional devices

ENGLISH

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.

Installation

Initial installation

After successfully connecting your DVD recorder to the TV set and other additional devices as described in the previous chapters, this chapter will show you how to start the initial installation. The DVD recorder automatically seeks and stores all available TV channels.

Switching on additional devices

If you have connected additional devices such as a satellite receiver to the

aerial cable, switch them on. The automatic channel search will recognise it

and save it. Please observe that you must switch on a "test signal" for some

additional devices.

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).
