Important notes for users in the U.K.

Mains plug

This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5

Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

3 Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.

Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).

¶ As these colours may not correspond with the

colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: – Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black. – Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red. – Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and yellow).

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

digital sound has specific numerical values. These jacks send audio through two channels, the left and right.

AUDIO OUT Jacks: Jacks on the back of the AV receiver that send audio to another system (TV, Stereo, etc.). Digital: Sound that has been converted into numerical values. Digital sound is available when you use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT COAXIAL or OPTICAL jacks. These jacks send audio through multiple channels, instead

of just two channels as analogue does.

Dolby Digital: A surround sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories capable of delivering up to 5.1 discrete channels of audio (front left and right, rear left and right, centre, and LFE). Dolby Pro Logic II: It creates five fullbandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. Decode only systems that derive 5.1 channels instead of the conventional 4 channels of Dolby Pro Logic surround sound. Dolby Pro Logic Surround: It is a specially encoded two-channel analogue format that will produce sound through four speaker channels (front left, centre, front right, mono surround) when a Dolby Pro Logic Decoder is used. It is also compatible with stereo systems but the user will only have two-channel (front left & right) of sound. DTS: Digital Theatre Systems. This is a surround sound system, but it is different from Dolby Digital. The formats were developed by different companies. Multichannel: DVD is specified to have each sound track constitute one sound field. Multichannel refers to a structure of sound tracks having three or more channels. Super Audio CD (SACD): This audio format is based upon the current CD standards but includes a greater amount of information that provides higher quality sound.

Important notes for users in the U.K.

Mains plug

This apparatus is ﬁtted with an approved 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1 Remove fuse cover and fuse. 2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362

5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

3 Reﬁt the fuse cover.

If the ﬁtted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug ﬁtted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.

Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).

 As these colours may not correspond with the

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

What kind of disc should I use for recording?

You can only record on a DVD+R and DVD+RW discs. DVD+R/+RW is the most compatible recordable DVD format on the market today. They are fully compatible to most of the existing DVD-Video players and DVD-ROM drives in computers.

What is the capacity of a DVD+R/+RW disc?

4.7GB, or equivalent to 6CDs. You can store only one hour of recordings on a single disc at the highest quality (DVD standard) and about 6 hours recordings at the lowest quality (VHS standard). The recording mode indicates the number of hours that will ﬁt on a single disc.

What is the difference between DVD+R and DVD+RW?

DVD+R is “recordable” and DVD+RW is “erasable” and “rewritable”. With a DVD+R, you can record multiple sessions on the same disc, but when the disc is full, you cannot record any more on the disc. The DVD+RW allows you to record over the same disc literally hundreds of times.

What is DV?

Using DV, also known as i.LINK, you can connect a DV-equipped camcorder to this recorder using a single DV cable for input and output of audio, video, data and control signals.

– This recorder is only compatible with DVformat (DVC-SD) camcorders. Digital satellite tuners and Digital VHS video recorders are not compatible.

– You cannot connect more than one DV camcorder at a time to this recorder.

– You cannot control this recorder from external equipment connected via the DV IN socket.

Can I copy a VHS tape or DVD from an external player?

Yes, but only if the VHS tape or DVD is not copy protected.

What are Titles and Chapters?

A DVD disc contains Titles and Chapters, which are similar to the Titles and Chapters of a book. A Title is often a complete movie and is broken down into Chapters, or individual scenes from the movies.

Title

Chapter

Title

Chapter Chapter Chapter Chapter

chapter markers

Programmes are recorded as a single title, it may consist of one chapter or a few chapters within a title, depending on the recording settings.

How do I set up Titles and Chapters?

The DVD recorder automatically creates a new Title every time you start a new recording. You can then add Chapters to these recordings manually or have them automatically inserted at 5-minutes intervals.

What does “ﬁnalising” a disc do?

Finalising a disc locks the disc so it can no longer be recorded, only required for DVD+R. It will then be compatible with virtually any DVD player. To close a disc without ﬁnalising it, simply stop recording and eject the disc. You will still be able to record on the disc if there is room for more recordings.

How good is the quality of the recording?

There are a few quality levels to choose from, ranging from “1 hour mode” (High Quality) to “6 hours mode” (VHS quality). Press REC MODE button on the remote control to choose the quality level that best suits your purpose and the length of material.

Cleaning discs

Some problems occur because the disc inside the recorder is dirty (frozen picture, sound disruptions, picture distortions). To avoid these problems, discs should be cleaned on a regular basis.

To clean a disc, use a micro ﬁbre cleaning cloth and wipe the disc from the center to the edge in a straight line.

CAUTION!

Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static sprays intended for analog discs.

Since the optical unit (laser) of the DVD recorder operates at a higher power than regular DVD or CD players, cleaning CDs intended for DVD or CD players may damage the optical unit (laser). Therefore, refrain from using a cleaning CD.

Recording

Discs for recording

Two different formats of DVD recordable discs can be used with this DVD recorder:

DVD+RW (DVD ‘plus’ Rewritable) – Discs that are re-writable can be used for multiple recordings once existing data

is erased.

DVD+R (DVD ‘plus’ Recordable) – Discs can only be used for a single recording. Each new recording is always added at the end of all previous recordings as existing recordings cannot be overwritten. – Editing can be made on any DVD+R discs as long as they have not been ﬁnalised. It is also possible to create additional chapter markers. – You can also delete unwanted recordings. However, the disc space occupied by the deleted recordings cannot be recovered for further recording. – To play a DVD+R on other DVD player, it must be ﬁnalised (see page 39 “Playing your recordings (DVD+R) on other DVD players”). After this is done, no more data can be added to the disc.

IMPORTANT! Unrecordable pictures

Television programmes, ﬁlms, video tapes, discs, and other materials may be copyrighted and therefore cannot be recorded on this recorder.

About timer recording

Use ‘Timer Recording’ to automatically start and stop a recording at a later date/ time. The DVD recorder will tune to the right programme channel and begin recording at the speciﬁed time.

With this DVD recorder, you can preprogramme up to 8 recordings.

To make a timer recording, your DVD recorder needs to know:

– The date you want to make the

recording. – The recording input source. – The start and stop time of the

recording. – The recording mode, see page 31.

TIMER

About ‘VPS/PDC’

‘VPS’ (Video Programming System) or ‘PDC’ (Programme Delivery Control) is used to control the start and duration of TV channel recordings. If a TV programme starts earlier or ends later than was scheduled, the DVD recorder will then switch on and off at the correct time.

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

TIPS: Ensure that there is sufﬁcient space available on the DVD+R/+RW before recording. You have to ﬁnalise the DVD+R before it can be played on other players, see page 39.

Troubleshooting

Problem Solution

WARNING

Under no circumstances should you try to repair the system yourself, as this will invalidate the warranty. Do not open the system as there is a risk of electric shock.

If a fault occurs, ﬁrst check the points listed below before taking the system for repair. If you are unable to remedy a problem by following these hints, consult your dealer or

Philips for help.

No power.

Remote control does not work.

Disc does not play.

No sound.

Distorted sound coming from a connected hi-ﬁ ampliﬁer.

Unable to play DivX movies.

– Press STANDBY-ON button on the front of the DVD

recorder to switch on the system.

– Make sure the AC outlet has power.

– Aim the remote control directly at the sensor on the

front of the DVD recorder (not towards TV). If the DVD recorder receives a signal from the remote control, icon D will appear on the display.

– Remove any obstacles between DVD recorder and the

remote control. – Batteries are weak, replace the batteries. – Press REC SOURCE on the remote control to select an

input source.

– Insert the disc with the label facing up. – Wrong region code. The DVD must be coded for ALL

regions or Region 2 in order to play on this DVD

recorder. – There is no recording on the disc or wrong disc type.

Read chapter “Playback - Playable discs” for details. – Make sure the disc is not scratched or warped. Clean

the disc or replace a new one. – Check if the disc is defective by trying another disc.

– Check the audio connections, the red and white sockets.

Read chapters “Getting Started - Connecting the audio

cables” for details. – Set the Digital output correctly, based on the equipment

you connected to the DVD recorder. Read chapter

“Accessing System Menu - Digital Audio Output” for

details.

– Do not connect any cables from the DVD recorder to

the ‘Phono’ input of your ampliﬁer. – Do not connect the DVD recorder’s Coaxial DIGITAL

AUDIO OUT socket to an analogue socket (red/white)

on the connecting devices.

– Check that the DivX ﬁle is encoded in ‘Home Theatre’

mode with DivX 5.x encoder.

Problem Solution

Troubleshooting (continued)

No picture.

The picture is distorted or black and white during playback.

Recordings are not occurring as scheduled. New recordings cannot be made.

No TV signal received from the DVD recorder.

A DVD+R/+RW recorded on this DVD recorder does not play on a DVD player.

Picture is fuzzy and brightness varies when copying DVD Video discs or prerecorded video cassettes.

– Switch on your TV and set to the correct Video In

channel. Change the TV channel until you see the DVD screen. Read chapter “Getting Started - Setting the TV” for details.

– Check the video connection between the DVD recorder

and the TV.

– The disc does not match with the TV colour system

standard (PAL/NTSC). – The disc is dirty, clean the disc. – Sometimes a small amount of picture distortion may

appear. This is not a malfunction. – If you set the Record Mode to a low-quality speed,

change to a higher-quality speed after you ﬁnish

recording. Leaving the DVD recorder set to a low-

quality speed may affect the picture quality when playing

DVDs later. Read chapter “Recording - Recording

settings” for details. – The recording can be made in colour only when the TV

channels or the connected additional device sends a

colour signal. In some situations, programmes that are

broadcast in black and white cannot be recorded.

– The TV channel you want to record is not stored or

you selected the wrong programme number. Check TV

channels stored. – If you adjust the clock after you set a timer recording,

you have to reset the timer recording. – If the DVD recorder cannot read the disc, you cannot

record. – You cannot use the DVD recorder to duplicate

copyrighted materials (DVDs or videotapes) onto a

DVD+R/+RW. – A ﬁnalised DVD+R has been inserted. Change disc.

– Install the TV channel. Read chapter “Step4 : TV channel

programming” for details.

– If a recording is too short, it is possible that a DVD

player cannot detect it. Please observe the following

‘minimum recording times’. Recording mode : {1 hour} –

5 minutes, {2 hours} – 10 minutes, {4 hours} – 20

minutes, {6 hours} – 30 minutes. – You have to ﬁnalise the DVD+R. Refer to chapter

“Playing your recordings (DVD+R) on other DVD

players” for details.

– This happens if you try to copy DVDs or video cassettes

that have been copy-protected. Even though the picture

on the TV is ﬁne, but the recording on a DVD+R/+RW

is faulty. This interference is unavoidable with copy-

protected DVDs or video cassettes. – The DVD+R/+RW has recording lifetime, please change

a new disc for recording.
