Recorder. Always point the remote directly at the remote sensor on the front of the Recorder, not the TV.

See page 26.

Make sure there are no barriers between the remote and the Recorder.

The Recorder’s remote will operate some features of some Philips TVs.

See page 24.

DVD Disc Menus...

Some explanations in this manual describe the DVD Disc Menus, which vary among DVDs. Movie producers set these menus; not all DVDs have menus. If the

DVD has a menu, access it by pressing DISC MENU on the remote.

See page 23.

DVD Recorder Menus...

Some instructions explain how to use the Recorder’s menu (or the System Menu or Menu Bars) to set up features of the Recorder or the Disc.You get to the

Recorder Menu by pressing SYSTEM MENU on the remote.

See page 28.

Even if a feature is set up in the Recorder’s menu, it will not be available if the current Disc does not include that feature.

Available Disc Features...

Features described in this manual may not be available on every Disc. If the feature is not available, you cannot use the 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. Or, some features may not be available at the current time. For example, some features are available only during play, while others can be accessed only if play is stopped.

Try stopping or starting play, then try the feature again.

Cleaning Discs

● When a Disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth.Wipe the Disc from the center out, in a straight line. Do not wipe the Disc in a circular motion.

●

●

●

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

Always keep the Recorder’s Disc tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.

The lens may cloud over if you suddenly move the 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 play is possible.

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 ultimate quality, but use it only if the TV has

Progressive Scan.

See page 12.

★★★ S-Video provides excellent picture quality.

See page 13.

★★ Composite Video (a yellow Video jack) provides good picture quality.

See page 14.

★★ Your TV may have only an RF-style jack, usually labeled Antenna In or 75 ohm.You can use this connection style either with or without a Cable

Box.

See pages 10-11.

★★★★ 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.

See page 16.

★★★ If digital audio connections are not possible, connect one pair of the

DVD Recorder’s red and white AUDIO OUT jacks to the Audio In jacks of your Stereo or TV.

See pages 12-15.

Before you begin...

● 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...

● Set the TV to the correct Video In channel.

This is channel 3 or 4 if your

TV has only the single Antenna In jack.

See pages 10-11.

For all other connec-

●

●

●

●

●

● tions, find the specific Video In channel at your TV.

Video In channels may be called AUX or AUXILIARY IN, AUDIO/VIDEO or

A/V IN, EXT1 or EXT2 or External In, etc.These channels often are near TV channel zero (0). Or, your TV remote may have a button or switch that lets you choose the Video In channel directly. See your TV manual for details.

Or, go to your lowest TV channel and change channels down until you see the blue Philips DVD background picture on the TV screen. (The Recorder must be on.)

Connect the DVD Recorder directly to the TV. For example, do not connect the 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.

To connect a VCR to the DVD Recorder so you can copy videotapes to a DVD+R or DVD+RW, see page 17.

Set a Stereo to the correct Audio In channel or “source” mode.

Do not connect the DVD Recorder’s AUDIO OUT jacks to the PHONO IN jack of your Stereo.

You only need one audio connection and one video connection between the

DVD Recorder and your TV (or TV and Stereo). So, you will not use all the jacks on the Recorder.There are multiple jacks so you can connect to different

TV styles or to other equipment.

See page 17.

If you plan to watch your TV with the DVD Recorder off, connect the supplied

RF coaxial cable to the Recorder’s TV jack and to the RF IN or ANTENNA IN jack (75 ohm) on your television.This lets you watch channels at the TV normally when the Recorder is off and will improve the reception at your TV.

Determine the connection that fits with your TV, then find your choice on pages 10-16. Follow the steps for the hookup you chose.

When you finish your connections and turn on the DVD Recorder for the first time, complete the Initial Setup.This sets up TV channels, menu languages, and other features, including the GUIDE Plus+

®

System. See pages 18-20 to do the Initial Setup.

AUDIO jacks: Jacks on the Recorder that send or receive sound to or from other equipment (VCR, Camcorder, etc.).

A/V : Audio/Video.

COAX (coaxial) OUT jack: Sends digital audio to a Stereo, allowing you to adjust the volume at the Stereo.The Stereo must have a Coaxial In jack.This connection provides the 5.1 channel surround sound as heard in movie theaters.

Color system: There are various systems for transmitting television signals, for example PAL, SECAM, and NTSC. NTSC is the most common color system in the

United States of America.

COMPONENT VIDEO Jacks : The jacks on the Recorder that send or receive a picture to or from other equipment.The video is separated into three components (red, green, and blue) to deliver a high quality picture.

Digital: Sound that has been converted into numerical values. Digital sound is available when you use the Recorder’s COAX (coaxial) OUT or OPTICAL OUT jacks.

No picture

• Make sure the TV power is on.

• Check the video cables. Make sure the cables are fastened securely to the Recorder and the TV.

• Set your TV to the correct Video In channel.These channels are usually near channel zero. Or, you may have a button on the

• You only need one video connection between the DVD Recorder and the TV.

See page 9.

The picture is distorted; the picture is black and white during play.

• TVs have a color system standard, usually NTSC in the United States. If the Disc’s color system is different than your TV’s color system, the picture may be distorted or colorless.

• The Recorder can not record in color if the TV channel or source is not providing color. In some situations, programs that are broadcast in black and white can not be recorded.

• Check the Disc for fingerprints. Clean the Disc with a soft cloth, wiping from the center to the edge in a straight line.

• Sometimes a small amount of picture distortion may appear.This is not a malfunction.

The sound is distorted during Disc play through a Stereo.

• Do not connect any cables from the DVD Recorder to the Stereo’s “PHONO IN” jack.

• Do not connect a digital jack on the Recorder (COAX OUT or OPTICAL OUT) to an analog jack on the Stereo. (Analog audio jacks are usually labeled as such and are usually red and white.)
