Introduction 5

Welcome!

This DVD/VCR combines a Digital Video Disc (DVD) Player and a Hi-Fi Video Cassette Recorder (VCR) into one unit, allowing you to play DVDs, Audio Compact Discs (Audio CDs), and video cassette tapes from one piece of equipment. The DVD Player of this DVD/VCR will allow you to enjoy better picture quality, clearer sound, and endless playback features available on DVDs. Expanding technology allows you to add options to your viewing - watch a director’s cut of a movie, listen to the producer’s comments, or play your favorite scene over and over again. Hear a movie in different languages, or listen only to the soundtrack. The possibilities are limited only by your choices and the materials available on the DVD.

When playing Audio CDs, determine the order in which you want to hear the songs, or play the Disc repeatedly - all while seeing the status of the CD on your television.

We hope you enjoy this DVD/VCR and learn to use all of its features. To get the most out of the DVD/VCR, read this owner’s manual carefully. It will describe how you can access all the features listed below.

Segments

DVDs are divided into Titles, which are divided into Chapters.

Titles and Chapters are numbered.

Audio CDs are divided into numbered Tracks, i.e., a track may be one song.

Region Codes

DVDs also must be labelled for ALL regions or for Region 1 in order to be played on this DVD/VCR. You can not play Discs that are labelled for other regions.

Look for the symbols below on your DVDs. If these region symbols do not appear on your DVD, you cannot play the DVD in this DVD/VCR.

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.

A Disc encoded in a specific region format can only be played on DVD players with the same region code. For example, if a Disc is labelled for Region 2, you can not play the DVD on this DVD/VCR.

Color Systems

Different color systems are available 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/VCR uses the NTSC color system. Therefore, the Discs that you play must be recorded in the NTSC system. You cannot play Discs recorded in other formats.

The color system of the DVD may be listed on the DVD or on the Disc jacket.

Philips Consumer Electronics recommends that you use only video cassette tapes which are labeled with the mark. The use of other tapes may result in poor picture quality and excessive deposits on the video heads, which may not be covered by the warranty if damage occurs.The 19 micron head provides a better picture when you view tapes recorded in slow speed (SLP).

Recording Prevention

Video cassette tapes have record tabs to ensure that recordings are not accidentally erased.

1

To prevent recording, break off the tab with a screwdriver.

2

To allow recording, cover the hole with cellophane tape.

• CLASH may flash on the screen when you finish setting a timer recording.

This means that the timer recording you just programmed and another timer recording overlap. The current timer recording will not take place.

You may choose to cancel the overlapping timer recording.

• To stop a started timer recording, press the STOP/EJECT button or the

TIMER SET button on the front of the

• If the power fails for more than one minute, programmed timer recordings will be lost. If this occurs, repeat the steps on pages 16 and 20 before resetting the timer recordings.

• If the preset time for a timer recording comes up during an OTR, the

OTR has priority. A message will remind you when the timer recording was scheduled to begin. You may let the OTR continue; the timer recording will not take place. Or, stop the OTR and press the TIMER SET button immediately. The timer recording will take place if you press the TIMER

SET button before the timer recording’s scheduled start time.

Automatic Operation Features 45

VCR

The following tape playback features are available in VCR mode.

Automatic Playback

When you put a tape in the DVD/VCR, the power will come on automatically. If the tape’s record tab is missing, playback will begin.

If a timer recording is set, and the TIMER SET light is flashing, the power will not come on automatically when you insert a tape with the record tab intact.

If a timer recording is set and the TIMER SET light is flashing, the

DVD/VCR will eject the tape if the record tab is missing.

Automatic Rewind, Eject

When a tape is played, fast forwarded, or recorded to its end, the

DVD/VCR will rewind the tape, stop, then eject the tape.

If the real-time counter memory is set, the DVD/VCR will only rewind the tape to the point at which the counter is set to zero, then stop. The DVD/VCR will not eject the tape automatically. If

REPEAT PLAY is set to ON, the DVD/VCR will not eject the tape automatically.

Tape Eject

A tape can be ejected with the DVD/VCR power on or off (but the

DVD/VCR must be plugged in).

If a timer recording is set, and the TIMER SET light is on or flashing, the tape cannot be ejected. To eject the tape, you must first press the TIMER SET button to cancel the timer recording, then press the

STOP/EJECT button to remove the tape.To reset the timer recording, insert a tape, then press the TIMER SET button to put the

DVD/VCR in standby mode for the timer recording.

46 MTS (Multi-Channel Television Sound) System

VCR

Your DVD/VCR can play recordings broadcast in Hi-Fi (high fidelity) stereo, which produces a crisp, clear sound from two sources. Your DVD/VCR also can play tapes recorded in a second audio (usually, that means your program is recorded in a second language). Of course, your DVD/VCR will play tapes recorded in monaural (single-source) sound as well.

Your DVD/VCR also will record in Hi-Fi stereo or in second audio, so when you play back that tape on the DVD/VCR, it will be in stereo or second audio.

Read the directions on this page to familiarize yourself with your DVD/VCR’s stereo and second audio setups. Then follow the directions on page 47 to record in stereo or second audio and the directions on page 48 to play back tapes recorded in Hi-Fi stereo.

Understanding On-Screen Displays

When you receive a signal from a channel you’re watching, portions of the on-screen display shown below will appear when you press the DISPLAY/STATUS/EXIT button on the remote control.

The indication 2ND AUD or TV

STEREO that appears on this side of the status display tells you if your

DVD/VCR is programmed to receive a second audio or stereo broadcast (it cannot be programmed to receive both at the same time).

When a program broadcast in stereo is available, STEREO appears here.

When a program broadcast in second audio is available, 2ND AUD appears here.

When a program is available both in stereo and second audio, both

STEREO and 2ND AUD appear here. Even though a program is available in stereo or second audio, you still must program the DVD/VCR to receive or record the program. Follow the directions on page 47.

NOTE: Although a program may be broadcast in both stereo and second audio, you cannot record in both stereo and second audio at the same time.

To record and play back programs broadcast in stereo, even if you have a single-speaker TV, just use one of the connections shown, then follow the steps on pages 47-48.

DVD/VCR ejects the tape when the RECORD button is pressed or when the TIMER SET button is pressed to set a timer recording.

• Make sure the tape has a record tab. Details are on page seven.

Poor reception

• You may need to tune your TV again.

The motor (cylinder) rotates even when the tape playback is stopped.

• To enable the quick play mechanism, the cylinder will rotate for about five minutes. This is normal. The quick play mechanism allows the tape mechanism to switch from Stop mode to Play mode in one second.

Direct Broadcast System Hookups

• Watching one TV channel while recording another may not be possible if you have a DBS hookup. You may have to set your TV to channel 03 or 04, then make your channel selections at the DBS.

• With many DBS hookups, if you use accessory audio and video cables to connect your DVD/VCR to your TV, you will have to put your DVD/VCR in Line Input mode (channel 001 or 002).

Line Input mode

• If you accidentally enter Line Input mode (AV FRONT or AV REAR will appear on your TV screen briefly), press the CHANNEL o/p buttons or use the Number buttons to select another channel.

Hi-Fi Stereo Sound

• During playback, Hi-Fi audio may temporarily revert to normal audio when you adjust tracking. This is normal.

• When connecting the DVD/VCR to a stereo TV, you will only get stereo sound if you use audio cables to connect the DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT jacks on the DVD/VCR to the AUDIO IN jacks on your TV, and if the TV is in Line (Auxiliary) Input mode.

• When you connect the DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT jacks on the DVD/VCR to the AUDIO IN jacks on your TV, the stereo light on the TV might not glow. But, as long as the status display indicates you are receiving a stereo signal, you are receiving a stereo signal. This is normal. Details are on page 46.

• Only tapes recorded in Hi-Fi audio will play back in Hi-Fi audio. Tapes recorded in normal audio will play back in monaural audio.

Cleaning the Video Heads

• Your DVD/VCR automatically cleans the video heads of the VCR each time you insert a tape. However, the heads may become dirty. If so, use a commercially-available head cleaner or have an authorized servicer clean the video heads. Eventually, the heads may need to be replaced.

The playback picture is too dim, too bright, or fluctuates in brightness.

• Some programs may be broadcast with copyright protection technology in order to protect the rights of copyright owners. This technology is used on programs that are recorded on video tapes or Digital

Video Discs (DVDs), as well as some programs broadcast by antenna/cable/satellite television channels.

Programs broadcast with copyright protection technology may not record clearly. Likewise, if you play a tape that is a recording of a copyright protected program, the picture may not be clear. Tapes of copyright protected programs may have a picture that is dark or dim, or the brightness of the picture may fluctuate. Therefore, you should avoid recording or playing copies of copyright protected programs.

This DVD/VCR incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by method claims of certain U.S. patents and other intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights owners. Use of this copyright protection technology must be authorized by Macrovision

Corporation and is intended for home and other limited viewing uses only, unless otherwise authorized by Macrovision Corporation. Reverse engineering or disassembly is prohibited.

80 Limited Warranty

90 days Free Exchange / 91 days–One Year Reduced-Cost Exchange

WHO IS COVERED?

You must have proof of the date of purchase to exchange your product. A sales receipt or other document showing the date that you purchased the product is considered such proof.

MAKE SURE YOU KEEP...

Please keep your sales receipt or other document showing proof of date of purchase. Attach it to the owner’s manual and keep both nearby. Also keep the original box and packing material in case you need to return your product.

WHAT IS COVERED?

Warranty coverage begins the day you buy your product.

For 90 days thereafter, you may exchange the defective product for a new or renewed product at the store from which it was purchased or through Philips. Either exchange is made at no cost to you.

From 91 days to one year from the date of purchase, you will pay a preset exchange fee to obtain a new or renewed product. Follow the exchange procedures on the next page. This exchange opportunity ends one year after the date of purchase. The replacement product is covered only for the warranty period of the original product. When the warranty on the original product expires, the warranty on all replaced products also expires.

WHAT IS EXCLUDED?

Your warranty does not cover:

• shipping charges to return defective product.

• labor charges for installation or setup of the product, adjustment of customer controls on the product, and installation or repair of antenna systems outside of the product.

• product repair and/or part replacement because of improper installation, abuse, neglect, misuse, accident, unauthorized repair or other cause not within the control of Philips Consumer Electronics.

• reception problems caused by signal conditions or cable or antenna systems outside the product.

• a product that requires modification or adaptation to enable it to operate in any country other than the country for which it was designed, manufactured, approved and/or authorized, or repair of products damaged by these modifications.

• incidental or consequential damages resulting from the product. (Some states do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion may not apply to you. This includes, but is not limited to, prerecorded material, whether copyrighted or not copyrighted.)

• damage caused by the use of non-VHS tapes or tapes that have not been tested and labeled for use in two, four, six, and eight hour VHS recorders.

• a product that is used for commercial or institutional purposes (including but not limited to rental purposes).

WHERE IS EXCHANGE AVAILABLE?

Warranty exchange is available in all countries where the product is officially distributed by Philips Consumer

Electronics. In countries where Philips Consumer

Electronics does not distribute the product, the local

Philips service organization will attempt to exchange the product, although there may be a delay if the appropriate product is not readily available.

BEFORE EXCHANGING THE PRODUCT...

Please check your owner’s manual before exchanging the product. Adjustments of the controls discussed there may save you time and money.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND REMEDY...

Philips is not liable under any circumstances for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages, howsoever incurred, even if notified of the possibility of such damages.

To the extent permitted by local law, the remedies provided in this warranty statement are your sole and exclusive remedy.

This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state/province to state/province.

82 Glossary

AUDIO IN/OUT Jacks: jacks located on the front and back of the DVD/VCR which are used to receive audio from another source (IN) or to send audio to another system (OUT).

Automatic Channel Setup: process in which the DVD/VCR memorizes all available TV channels. Then, when you press the CHANNEL o/p buttons, you only scan through channels you receive.

Bands: settings that allow you to tune channels.

• Antenna – VHF (very high frequency; channels 2-13) and UHF (ultra high frequency; channels 14-69).

• Cable – all standard channels can be received without a Cable Box.

Cable Box/DBS Output Channel: 03 or 04.

CD: Compact Disc (audio)

Coaxial jack: Used to send digital audio to a decoder or amplifier, allowing you to adjust the volume at the decoder or amplifier. This connection provides the 5.1 channel surround sound as heard in movie theaters.

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT Jacks: jacks located on the back of the DVD/VCR which are used to send high-quality video to a TV with Component Video In jacks.

Dolby Digital: A surround sound system that provides 5.1 channel sound as used in movie theaters.

DTS: Digital Theater Systems. This is a surround sound system, but it is different from Dolby Digital. The formats were developed by different companies.

Dubbing: copying a video cassette tape using another VCR.

DVD: Digital Video Disc.

Frame: a still picture.

HQ: high quality; a feature in the VCR circuitry which provides enhanced picture detail.

Line Input: The channel to which you set your DVD/VCR during video cassette tape dubbing. If you use the

AUDIO and VIDEO In jacks on the front of the DVD/VCR, select channel 002 (AV FRONT). If you use the

AUDIO and VIDEO IN jacks on the back of the DVD/VCR, select 001 (AV REAR). If you accidentally enter

Line Input mode, press the CHANNEL o/p buttons or use the Number buttons to select another channel.

OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT Jack: Converts electrical signals into optical signals before sending the audio to the amplifier. Optical audio is not prone to external electrical influences and has less noise, which reduces adverse effects on external equipment. Be sure to keep the protective cap on the jack when the jack is not being used. This keeps dust out of the jack.

OTR: One-Touch Recording; a timed recording on the VCR that starts immediately and records for 30 minutes to eight hours.

Remote Control: the small unit that came with your DVD/VCR; allows you to operate your DVD/VCR from a distance.

RF coaxial cable: A cable supplied with your DVD/VCR. Use it to connect your DVD/VCR to your TV

(or Cable Box or DBS). The supplied cable is a snap-on type. However, you may use a screw-on type if you prefer.

Special Effects: forward and reverse searching; a still picture; slow motion playback.

S-Video: Produces a clearer picture by sending separate signals for the luminance and the color. If you connect an optional S-Video cable, you will not need to use the supplied yellow video cable.

Tape Speeds: how fast the video cassette tape travels during a recording or playback.

• SP (standard play) – fastest tape speed (recording time for a T120 tape is approximately two hours); best picture quality.

• LP (long play) – average tape speed; playback only.

• SLP (super long play) – slowest tape speed (recording time for a T120 tape is approximately six hours).

VCR: video cassette recorder.

VIDEO IN/OUT Jacks: jacks located on the front and back of the DVD/VCR which are used to receive video from another source (IN) or to send video to another system (OUT).
