Introduction
Dear Philips customer,
Instruction manuals are usually very dry since they are technically-oriented and often poorly translated. I have therefore been employed by Philips to help you.

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Phil. I will be guiding you through the instruction manual and helping you get to know your new DVD recorder. At appropriate points along the way, I will be providing you with the following information:

Question: (?) Here I will be explaining seemingly unimportant things.

Tip Here I will be giving you instructions on functions that will make it easier for you to use your DVD recorder.

Problem Here I'll help you identify the cause of a problem and find a solution.

I hope you have lots of fun.

Phil
P.S. If you have any problems operating the machine, please read the section entitled 'Before you call an engineer'. If this doesn't help you to resolve the problem, please call the customer support service for your country. The telephone numbers and e-mail addresses can be found on the last page of this instruction manual.

Welcome to the growing family of owners of PHILIPS equipment. Thank you for buying a DVDR 70/001-70/021 . Please take the time to read this operating manual before using your DVD recorder. It contains important information on how to set up and operate the machine. The video recorder should not be turned on immediately after transportation from a cold to a hot area or vice versa, or in conditions of extreme humidity. Wait at least three hours after transporting the machine. The DVD recorder needs this time to acclimatise to its new environment (temperature, relative humidity, etc.). Your Philips team hopes your new DVD recorder will bring you many years of enjoyment.

What is a DVD? DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is a new storage medium that combines the convenience of the compact disc with the latest digital video technology. DVD video uses modern MPEG2 data compression technology that enables an entire feature film to be stored on a single five inch disc. How good is the resolution of DVD compared with VHS? The razor-sharp digital images have a resolution of more than 500 lines of 720 pixels per line. This is more than twice as high as VHS and is even better than the laser disc. Its picture quality is easily comparable to the digital masters produced in recording studios. What can DVD+RW do? DVD+ReWritable 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. What can the DVD+R do? DVD+R (write-once DVD). Unlike a DVD+RW disc, this disc can only be written to once. If it is not finalized after a recording, further recordings can be added to it. Old recordings can be deleted but can no longer be overwritten. The deleted titles are marked 'Deleted title'. Before this disc can be played in a DVD player, it must be finalised in the DVD recorder. Once this process is complete, no further recordings can be added. What can my DVD recorder do? Your Philips DVD recorder is a machine for recording and playing back digital video discs with "two-way" compatibility with the universal DVD video standard. This means: ) existing DVD video discs can be played on the recorder. ) Recordings made on your DVD recorder can be played on other DVD video players and DVD ROM drives.

Regional code
Since DVD films are not normally released in all parts of the world at the same time, all DVD players have a specific regional code. Discs can be given a regional code. If the regional codes differ between the player and the disc, playback is not possible. DVDs must be marked 'ALL' for all regions or '2' for region 2 to work in this machine. If the DVD is marked with a different region, it cannot be played in this DVD recorder. The number within the globe represents the region. Regional code 2 represents: Europe, Japan, South Africa, Middle East (incl. Egypt).

Important
Caution: Visible and invisible laser radiation. If the cover is open, do not look at the beam. Because of the risk of eye injuries, only qualified service engineers should open the machine and carry out maintenance or repair work. LASER Type: Semiconductor lasers InGaAlP (DVD), AlGaAs(CD) Wavelength: 660nm (DVD), 780nm (CD) Output power (outside the lens): 20mW (DVD+RW write), 0.8mW (DVD read), 0.3mW (CD read). Beam divergence: 82 degrees (DVD), 54 degrees (CD)

Danger. High voltage! Do not open. You run the risk of getting an electric shock. The machine does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Please leave all maintenance work to qualified personnel. There are some components in the DVD recorder that keep running as long as the recorder is connected to the power supply. To switch off the DVD recorder completely you must unplug it from the power supply. If you disconnect the DVD recorder from the mains, make sure to take the plug out of the wall socket and not just remove the connector from the 4MAINS socket at the back of the unit. Children could seriously injure themselves as the free end of the cable may still be live.

These operating instructions have been printed on non-polluting paper. Please dispose of old batteries safely. Please take the packaging to your local recycling centre. This electronic equipment contains a large number of materials that can be recycled. If you are disposing of an old machine, please take it to a recycling centre.

When installing the recorder in a cupboard ensure there is a gap of approximately 2.5 cm (1 inch) around the recorder to enable air to circulate freely and prevent overheating. Make sure that air can circulate freely through the ventilation slots on the machine. The machine should be placed on a firm surface. Make sure that no objects or liquids enter the video recorder. Do not place vases or similar on the DVD recorder. If you spill liquid in the recorder, immediately disconnect it from the power supply and call after-sales service for advice. Keep the DVD recorder away from radiators and other heat sources and protect from direct sunlight. Do not place any combustible objects on the device (candles, etc.). Make sure that children do not place any foreign objects in any of the openings.

Cleaning the discs

Some malfunctions (frozen or distorted picture and broken sound for example) are due to dirt on the disc. To avoid such problems you should clean your discs regularly. 1 2

Dirty discs should be cleaned with a soft cloth. Always wipe from the middle to the edge. Do not use any solvents such as benzine, thinners, commercially available cleaning agents or antistatic sprays designed for vinyl records.
Can I use a CD lens cleaner in the DVD recorder? This optical unit (laser) of the DVD recorder operates at a higher power level than the ones in normal DVDs and CD players so CD lens cleaner discs may actually damage it. CD lens cleaner discs should therefore not be used.

Introduction

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.

Philips provides the best possible connection between your DVD recorder and other home cinema equipment. The DVD recorder is controlled by external devices (receivers, TV sets and so on) via Cinema Link and is automatically set to the right system settings. This function automatically transfers all the television channel settings onto your DVD recorder via the scart cable ( EXT 1 TO TV-I/O socket). Recordings made on your DVD recorder can be controlled from an external satellite receiver.

At the touch of a button your DVD recorder, even though it is switched off, will check which channel is currently playing on your television and record it. 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 commercials or other scenes. The relevant scenes are marked and skipped as required. This information is stored on the DVD in such a way that other DVD players will skip the scenes. 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. These music CDs can be played on this machine. Normally a recording is made at the current disc position. This is the same as for a video cassette, in the middle of the tape for example. By holding down the REC/OTR n button, the recording will be made at the end of all the other recordings to avoid overwriting previous recordings. New recordings on DVD+R discs are always added after all existing recordings. Using your DVD recorder you can record from an RGB source such as a satellite receiver using a SCART input ( EXT 2 AUX-I/O socket). Video signals for the colours R(Red), G(Green) and B(Blue) are transmitted via separate channels. This reduces the interference that occurs with standard video cables. 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.

Introduction

Connecting the DVD recorder

Preparing the remote control for operation
The remote control and its batteries are packed separately in the original DVD recorder packaging. You must install the batteries in the remote control before use - described in the following section. 1 2

Take the remote control and the enclosed batteries (2 batteries). Open the battery compartment, insert the batteries as shown and then close the battery compartment.

The remote control is now ready to use. Its range is approximately 5 to 10 meters.

'Aim' correctly In the following sections, you will need the remote control for the first time. Aim the remote control at the DVD recorder and not at the TV set.

Tip

Connecting your DVD recorder to the TV set

The necessary cable connections must be made before you can record or playback TV programmes using your DVD recorder. Connect the DVD recorder directly to your TV set. If there is a video recorder in between the picture quality may be poor. We recommend that you use a scart cable to connect your TV set and DVD recorder.

What is a scart cable? The scart or Euro AV cable serves as the universal connector for picture, sound and control signals. With this type of connection, there is practically no loss of quality in picture or sound transmission.

Connecting additional devices

Connecting additional devices to the second scart socket
You can connect additional devices such as decoders, satellite receivers, camcorders, etc. to the EXT 2 AUX-I/O socket. When playback is started on this additional device the DVD recorder automatically connects the EXT 2 AUX-I/O scart socket with the EXT 1 TO TV-I/O scart socket. You will then see the picture from the additional device on your TV set, even if the DVD recorder is switched off. The TV/DVD button on the remote control allows you to switch between playback through the EXT 2 AUX-I/O scart socket and playback from the DVD recorder.

Connecting additional video recorders

You can connect a video recorder to the EXT 2 AUX-I/O socket. If you have an SVHS video recorder you can also use the OUT S-VIDEO (Y/C) socket and the OUT L AUDIO R sockets. Please note: Most prerecorded video cassettes and DVDs are copy-protected. If you try to copy them you will see the message 'COPY PROT' on the DVD recorder's display.
a When copying video cassettes the display on the DVD recorder shows 'NO SIGNAL' b Check that the cable is plugged in firmly. b If a recording is made from a video recorder, change the tracking on the video recorder. b The DVD recorder may not be able to recognise the video input signal if this signal is poor or does not comply with relevant standards. a When I copy DVD video discs or prerecorded video cassettes the picture is fuzzy and the brightness varies b 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 the recording on a DVD+R(W) is faulty. This interference is unavoidable with copy-protected DVDs or video cassettes.

General
Which discs can I use for recording? With this DVD recorder, you can record on two types of DVD: DVD+RW This disc can be written to and then the contents deleted. DVD+R This type of disc can only be recorded once. If you want to play this DVD in a DVD player it must be finalized using the 'Finalise disc' function. It is not possible to make further recordings using this disc. If this disc is to be played in a DVD recorder it must not be finalised. Recordings can be added and deleted. The disc space (playback time) from the deleted recording cannot be recovered for further recordings

Use the 'Manual recording' function to spontaneously start recording (e.g. to record a TV show already in progress). In the 'index display' select the title to be overwritten or 'Empty title' with CH- B , CH+ A . If you insert recordings between existing recordings, check the lengths of the old and new recordings. If the new recording is too long the subsequent recording (title/chapter) will be overwritten.

Insert new recordings at the end of all existing recordings (Safe Record) To add a new recording at the end of the last recording on the disc, hold down the REC/OTR n button until the message 'SAFE REC' appears on the display. For DVD+R discs each new recording is always added at the end of all previous recordings as existing recordings cannot be overwritten. End of disc is reached If the end of a disc is reached during recording, recording will stop and the Recorder will turn itself off automatically.

Tip

Please refer to section 'Recording without automatic switch off', if you want to manually start and stop your own recording. If you want to start a recording manually but have it stopped automatically, read the section 'Recording with automatic switch off'. (e.g. not to record to the end of the disc) Read the section 'Automatic recording from a satellite receiver', if you want a recording to be controlled automatically by a satellite receiver.

When a recording is made to disc, the following additional information is also stored at the beginning of the recording: ) Name of the recording If the TV station does not transmit a name, only the channel number and time will be stored as the name ) Length of the recording ) Record type (Quality) ) Date of the recording ) Index picture of the recording A marker will be set every 5-6 minutes if the 'Auto chapters' function is activated in the 'Record settings' menu. This marker is known as a 'chapter'. These markers can be changed when the recording has finished.

Can markers be set on a DVD+R disc? Markers can be set on these discs if they have not been finalised.

It is also possible to add 'chapters' later. This means that scenes you do not want to see during playback, such as commercials, can be hidden or skipped. During playback you can watch your recording as a continuous sequence without the hidden chapters.

Select from the following chapters: 'Favorite Scene Selection', to divide the title into chapters or to manage the chapters. 'Editing recording titles (name)', to change the recording names. 'Play complete title', to play the entire title including the hidden chapters. 'Delete recording/title'to delete the relevant title and therefore also the recording. 'Disc settings'to change the general settings of the disc.

Programming a recording (TIMER)

General
Use 'Programming a recording (TIMER)', to automatically start and stop a recording at a later date. The DVD recorder will switch to the right programme number and begin recording at the correct time. With this DVD recorder, you can pre-programme up to six recordings within a period of one month. To make a programmed recording, your DVD recorder needs to know: * the date you want to make the recording * the programme number of the TV channel * the start and stop time of the recording * VPS or PDC on or off * the recording mode ('M1/M2/M2x/M3/M4/M6') This information is saved in a 'TIMER block'.

What is 'VPS/PDC'? 'VPS' (Video Programming System)/'PDC' (Programme Delivery Control) are 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 turn on and off at the correct time. What do I need to know about 'VPS/PDC'? Usually the start time is the same as the VPS or PDC time. If a different 'VPS/PDC time' is indicated, e.g.: '20.15 (VPS/PDC 20.14)', the VPS/PDC time '20.14' must be entered exactly to the minute during programming. If you want to programme a time that is different from the VPS or PDC time, you must switch off VPS or PDC. Only one TV program of a TV channel can be controlled using 'VPS/PDC' at a time. If you want to record two or more TV programmes on a TV channel using 'VPS/PDC', you will need to programme these as two separate recordings. Since the DVD recorder requires a certain lead time (for getting the disc up to speed and positioning the laser) before recording can start, it is possible that the recorder will miss the first few seconds of a TV show recorded with VPS/PDC. In this case, disable VPS/PDC and enter a start time one minute earlier.

Parental level control (DVD video only)

Films on pre-recorded DVD discs may contain scenes not suitable for children. Therefore, some discs may contain 'Parental Control' rating information that applies to the entire disc or to certain scenes on the disc. The appropriate scenes have filter values that reach from 1-8. If such a scene is detected during playback, the filter value set on the DVD recorder is compared to the scene. If the filter value is higher than the setting, an alternative scene will be played (if available). Most DVDs apply the rating to an entire DVD. Therefore, if certain scenes exceed the rating you select, the entire disc will be blocked from viewing.
