Overview of functions
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.
ENGLISH
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.

Overview of functions
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
2
Overview of functions
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.
ENGLISH
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.

Overview of functions
Programming a recording
You have the following options for programming a recording:
®
The G<Code
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.
system:
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.

Overview of functions
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

Overview of functions
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.

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.
17
Connecting additional devices
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.

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.
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).
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.
