Safety Information G G G G Do not expose the system to excessive moisture, rain, sand, or heat sources. Place the DVD Recorder on a firm, flat surface. Keep the DVD Recorder away from domestic heating equipment and direct sunlight. When placing the DVD Recorder in a cabinet, allow about one inch of space all around the DVD Recorder for ventilation. When a Disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the Disc from the center out, in a straight line. Cleaning Discs G G G G Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for analog discs. If the DVD Recorder cannot read Discs correctly, use a commonly available cleaning CD/DVD to clean the lens. Other cleaning methods may destroy the lens. Always keep the tray closed to avoid dust on the lens. The lens may cloud over if you suddenly move the DVD Recorder from cold to warm surroundings. Playing a Disc is not possible then. Leave the power on for about one hour with no Disc in the Recorder until normal playback is possible. Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories.

Some Disc types will only play on the Recorder; others will record in the Recorder; some will record and play. There are also a few types of Discs that will neither play nor record on this Recorder. To determine which Discs you should use with this Recorder, refer to the following information. Look for these logos on your Discs to determine whether the Disc will or will not play or record on the Philips DVD Recorder. Discs for Recording and Playing DVD+RW (Digital Video Disc + Rewritable) Discs Unsuitable for Recording or Playing DVD-RAM DVD-Audio Discs for Playing Only DVD (Digital Video Disc) Audio CD (Compact Disc Digital Audio) Super Audio CD (plays only the CD layer) SUPER AUDIO CD DVD-R (DVD-Recordable) Video CD DVD-RW (DVD-Rewritable) (plays only when recorded in video mode and if finalized) Recordable Super Video CD CD-R (CD-Recordable) (plays only Audio CD contents) CD-RW (CD-Rewritable) (plays only Audio CD contents) ReWritable Region Codes and Color Systems DVDs must meet the requirements for Region Codes and Color Systems before you can use them with the DVD Recorder. DVDs must be labelled for ALL regions or for Region 1 in order to play on this DVD Recorder. You cannot play Discs that are labeled for other regions. These symbols must appear on your DVDs, or you cannot play the DVD in this DVD Recorder. The number inside the globe refers to a region of the world. Region 1 represents the United States, Canada, upper regions of North America, Bermuda, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and small regions near Australia. Furthermore, recordings are made according to different color systems throughout the world. The most common color systems are NTSC, which is used primarily in the United States and North America, PAL, and SECAM. This DVD Recorder is compatible with NTSC and PAL. Make sure the Discs you play were recorded in NTSC or PAL. The color system of the DVD may appear on the DVD or on the Disc case. 8 General Information Battery Installation 1 2 3 Remove the battery compartment lid on the rear of the remote control by sliding the lid down, then off. Place two AA batteries inside the battery compartment with their + and ­ ends aligned as indicated. Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, etc.). Replace the battery compartment lid. Using the Remote Control Unless stated otherwise, the remote control can operate all the features of the DVD Recorder. Always point the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the front of the DVD Recorder, not the TV. Details are on page 22. Make sure there are no barriers between the remote control and the DVD Recorder. The remote control also will operate some features of some TVs. Details are on pages 60-61. - + When referring to this manual, remember... DVD The feature is available on some Digital Video Discs. AUDIO CD The feature is available on some Audio Compact Discs. VIDEO CD DVD+RW The feature is available on some Video Compact Discs. The feature is available on DVD+ReWritable Discs. + - DVD Disc Menus... Some explanations in this manual describe the DVD Disc Menus, which vary among DVDs. Movie producers set these menus, and not all DVDs have menus. But, if the DVD has a menu, access the Disc Menu by pressing the DISC MENU button on the remote control. Details are on page 28. DVD Recorder Menus... Some instructions explain how to use the DVD Recorder's menu (or the System Menu or Menu Bars) to set up features of the DVD Recorder or the Disc. You get to the DVD Recorder Menu by pressing SYSTEM MENU on the remote control. Details are on page 25. Even if a feature is set up in the DVD Recorder's menu, it will not be available if the current Disc does not include that feature. Available Disc Features... Features in this manual may not be available on every Disc. If the feature is not available, you cannot use the DVD Recorder to make the feature available. An "X" will appear in the top left corner of the TV screen if you try to access a feature that is not available on the current Disc. Hookups 9 Determining the best possible connection... The capabilities of your existing equipment, especially your TV, will determine your connection possibilities. However, the following guidelines describe which options provide the best picture and sound quality. Component Video provides the best picture quality. Progressive Scan Component Video has the highest quality, but use it only if the TV has Progressive Scan. Details are on page 10. S-Video provides excellent picture quality. Details are on page 11. Composite Video (a yellow Video jack) provides good picture quality. Details are on page 12. Your TV may have only an RF-style jack, usually labeled Antenna In or 75 ohm. Connect the supplied RF coaxial cable to the TV jack on the DVD Recorder and to the Antenna In jack on your TV. Connect your antenna or Cable TV signal to the ANTENNA jack on the DVD Recorder as shown on page 10. You will need an RF modulator in order to view the DVD Recorder at your TV. Set the RF modulator to channel 3 or 4, then set the TV to the same channel. Ask your dealer for details on RF modulator availability and compatibility. Digital audio connections provide the clearest sound. Connect one of the DVD Recorder's DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks (COAX (coaxial) or OPTICAL) to your Stereo for the best sound quality. Details are on page 14. If digital connections are not possible, connect the DVD Recorder's red and white AUDIO OUT jacks to the Audio In jacks of your Stereo or TV. Details are on pages 10-13. Before you begin... G G Refer to the manuals of your TV, Stereo, or other equipment as necessary. Note the style of jacks and connectors on the other equipment. Determine how to choose different Audio and Video In channels on your other equipment so you can see and hear the DVD Recorder on the TV, Stereo, etc. Disconnect all equipment from the power outlets. Connect the equipment to the power outlets only after you have finished hooking up everything. Never make or change connections with equipment connected to the power outlet. Remember... G G G G G Connect the DVD Recorder directly to the TV. For example, do not connect the DVD Recorder to a VCR, then connect the VCR to a TV. This type of connection may distort the picture and sound. Also, your VCR might have the copy protection system, which could distort the DVD image. Set the TV to the correct Video In channel. Such channels may be called AUX or AUXILIARY IN, AUDIO/VIDEO or A/V IN, EXT1 or EXT2, etc. These channels often are near channel 00. See your TV manual for details.
