Overview offunctions  
Functioning ofthe device  
Your Philips DVD/HDD recorder mainly consists of the following components:  
HDD recorder  
For recording in a temporary storage on the HDD (Time shift Buffer)  
As soon as you turn on the DVD/HDD recorder, it automatically records the current TV channel selected on the DVD/HDD recorder in this  
temporary storage. As a result, you can 'rewind' to a scene ( D ) or watch a still picture ( PAUSE 9 ), while the current TV show is still being  
recorded.  
Recordings in the time shift buffer are only temporarily available (factory settings: 3 hours).  
For storing recordings on the HDD  
You can mark recordings in the time shift buffer for storage on the HDD using REC/OTR n .  
These recordings will be transferred to the HDD when you switch off the device using STANDBY m or when the time periode of the time shift  
buffer ( e.g. 3 hours) expires.  
DVD Recorder  
For archiving (copying) HDD recordings on a DVD+RW/+R  
Recordings on the HDD can be selected in a title overview screen (Media Browser) and then copied (archived) on a DVD+RW/+R.  
TV tuner  
For recordings independently from your TV set  
You can use your DVD/HDD recorder as a TV tuner, allowing you the comfort of pausing a running TV show and continue watching it later. You  
can make recordings on the HDD without having to turn on the TV set.  
DVD/CD/MP3 player  
For playing back recorded DVDs, CDs , CD<RW/Rs  
You can use this device to play back DVD+R/RWs, DVD-R/RWs, (S)Video CDs(CD-RW/R), Audio CDs(CD-RW/R), MP3 CDs(CD-RW/R) of the  
respective standard.

Introduction  
Discs you can use  
Welcome to the growing family of owners of PHILIPS equipment.  
Thank you for buying a HDRW 720/17 .  
The following discs can be used in your DVD recorder for playback  
and recording:  
Recording and playback  
DVD+RW (Digital Versatile Disc + rewriteable)  
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.  
Time-shift TV viewing is possible with the hard disk drive (HDD) in  
your DVD-Recorder./Hard Disk By storing the recording in a time shift  
buffer, you can 'rewind' to a scene you missed while the current TV  
show is still being recorded.  
DVD+R (Digital Versatile Disc + recordable)  
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 later  
deleted but they can no longer be overwritten. The  
deleted recordings (titles) are marked 'Deleted title'.  
Before this disc can be played in a DVD player, it must be  
finalized in the DVD recorder. Once this process is  
complete, no further recordings can be added.  
Recordings in the time shift buffer will be automatically deleted e.g.  
after 3 hours if the period of the time shift buffer is set to 3 hours  
(factory setting).  
Moreover, you can play back a DVD disc or a recorded title from the  
HDD while the current TV channel is being recorded in the  
background.  
You can store recordings from the time shift buffer on the built-in  
HDD and transfer (archive) them later on a DVD+RW/+R disc.  
Playback only  
DVD Video (Digital Versatile Disc)  
Furthermore your Philips DVD Recorder /Hard Disk is a device for  
recording on DVD+RW/+R Discs and for playing digital video discs see  
next chapter. In the rest of the user manual the DVD Recorder/Hard  
Disk will be mentioned as DVD-Recorder.  
is a 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.  
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 device.  
DVD-R(DVD-Recordable)  
These discs can only be played back if the recording was  
made in video mode and the recording was finalized.  
We hope you will enjoy your new DVD Recorder / Hard Disk,  
your Philips team!  
DVD-RW (DVD-Rewritable)  
These discs can only be played back if the recording was  
made in video mode and the recording was finalized.  
If you have any problems operating the device, 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.  
You can also visit the website 'http://www.p4c.philips.com' .

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.  
You can operate the main functions on your television using your DVD-Recorder recorder remote  
control, even if your television is not a Philips.  
You can upgrade the software of your DVD-Recorder with a CD-ROM.  
On the web site http://www.p4c.philips.com under the model number 'HDRW 720/17' you will find  
the data and the upgrade information.  
This connector is also known as a 'FireWire' or 'IEEE 1394'. This connector is used to transmit  
wide digital broadband signals that are used for digital video camcorders. Audio and video signals  
are transmitted using a cable. In addition to DV and Hi8 camcorders, PCs with digital video output  
can also be connected to the digital input.  
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 unwanted scenes. The relevant scenes are marked and  
skipped as required. If you store (archive) such titles on a DVD+RW/+R you can decide if you want  
to store the original title (with the hidden scenes) or the edited title (without the hidden scenes).  
MP3 CDs can be played on this machine.  
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.  
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.  
Dolby Digital is a standard developed by Dolby Laboratories for transmitting from 1 to 5 full-range  
channels as well as a low frequency (.1) channel for a total of 5.1 discrete channels. The  
loudspeakers are arranged front left, front middle, front right, rear left and rear right. This system is  
currently the most common system and is used in cinemas.  
With this DVD recorder each soundtrack in 2-channel Dolby Digital is recorded onto a  
DVD+RW/+R.

Connecting the DVD recorder  
Please note the color order  
Connecting to the TV  
The colors of the jacks on the DVD Recorder must match those on the  
TV (red-red/blue-blue/green-green). If they are not matched properly,  
this could cause the color of the picture to be reversed or there could be  
no picture at all.  
Choose from the following connections:  
Connection with Component<Video< (Y Pb Pr) cable  
Connection with S<videocable  
3 Use an audio cable and plug one end into the AUDIO L/R (OUT  
1) jack at the back of the DVD Recorder (next to COMPONENT  
VIDEO-OUT1 ) and the other into the red/white Audio In jacks of  
the TV (usually called Audio in', 'AV in'. Please see your TV's  
instruction manual).  
Connection with Video (CVBS) cable  
Connection with the antenna cable only  
O Read the next chapter 'Connecting additional devices' on how  
to connect additional devices (satellite receivers,  
videorecorders,...) to the input-/output jacks.  
Connection with Component<Video< (Y Pb Pr)  
cable  
Component Video is the highest quality system for transmitting video  
by splitting the video signal into the Y (brightness), U and V (red minus  
brightness, blue minus brightness) components. The signals are sent  
over separate lines. The plugs for these cables and the corresponding  
jacks are usually red, green, and blue.  
Then, read the chapter on 'Connecting to the AC-outlet.  
Connecting with a S<Video (Y/C) cable  
This connecting cable, also known as the SVHS cable, is used to  
transmit the brightness signal (Y signal) and color signal (C signal)  
separately. This mini DIN jack/plug is also called a Hosiden jack/plug.  
In addition, the signal can be 'interlaced' or use 'progressive scan.'  
Interlaced  
The regular video/TV signal is interlaced, i.e. the even and odd lines are  
formed as half pictures in an alternate fashion.  
1 Use a S-Video (SVHS) cable and plug one end into the S-VIDEO  
(Y/C)-OUT2 jack at the back of the DVD Recorder and the other  
end into the S-Video (SVHS) In jack of the TV (usually called  
'S-Video in' or 'SVHS in'. See your TV's instruction manual).  
Progressive scan  
With progressive scan, each picture is structured (approx. 50/60 times  
per second depending on the TV system) as a complete picture, i.e. the  
even and odd lines are formed together. Disruptive picture flickering is  
avoided as is the case with 100 Hz TV devices.  
2 Use an audio (cinch) cable and plug one end into the red/white  
cinch jack AUDIO L/R (OUT 2) at the back of the DVD  
Recorder (next to S-VIDEO (Y/C)-OUT2 ) and the other into  
the corresponding red/white audio input jack of the TV (usually  
called Audio in', 'AV in'. See your TV's instruction manual).  
1 Use the Component Video (Y Pb Pr) cable and connect one end to  
the red, blue, green COMPONENT VIDEO-OUT1 jacks at the  
back of the DVD Recorder and the other end to the Component  
Video In jacks of the TV.  
O Read the next chapter 'Connecting additional devices' on how  
to connect additional devices (satellite receivers,  
videorecorders,...) to the input-/output jacks.  
2 If your TV set is equipped with a 'progressive scan' jack, please use  
this jack. (Usually called 'Video In Y Pb Pr'. Please see your TV's  
instruction manual).  
Then, read the chapter on 'Connecting to the AC-outlet'.

Connecting the DVD recorder  
Connecting with Video (CVBS) cable  
Connecting to the AC<outlet  
This cable, usually featuring yellow cinch plugs, is used for transmitting  
the Composite Video Baseband Signal (CVBS). In this method of  
transmission the color signal and the brightness signal are transmitted  
on the same cable. Under certain circumstances, this may lead to  
problems with the picture, such as 'Moiré' patterns.  
Always check if the local mains voltage matches the voltage range

observe the following:  
O Connect the DVD-Recorder directly with your TV-set  
(Cable from the output jacks directly to the TV set). If there is  
a video recorder or another device in between, there can be  
distortions in the TV pictures from the 'copy protection  
system'.  
he DVD-Recorder have to be directly connected to the TV set. If there  
are other devices (video recorder, decoder, satellite receiver,...) in  
between, there can be distortions in the TV pictures from the 'copy  
protection system'.  
O If you have an SVHS video recorder you should use the  
S-VIDEO (Y/C)-EXT2 jack and the AUDIO L/R (IN-EXT  
2) jacks.  
O You can also use the front jacks. For more information read  
the chapter 'Recording on the HDD'.  
Connecting a cable box with cinch or  
S<video cable  
You can connect a cable box to the S-VIDEO (Y/C)-EXT2 or  
VIDEO (CVBS)-EXT2 input jacks and the AUDIO L/R (IN-EXT  
2) audio jacks.  
Switching between jacks S-VIDEO (Y/C)-EXT2 and VIDEO  
(CVBS)-EXT2 is done automatically. If a signal is available at both jacks  
at the same time, the signal at the S-VIDEO (Y/C)-EXT2 jack has  
priority.  
The cable box have to be connected before the DVD-Recorder  
(cable box - DVD-Recorder - TV set). On the jack TV OUT only the  
TV have to be connected.  
The antenna cable should also be connected to the cable box and the  
DVD recorder as shown.  
•) If there is interference in the picture when the cable TV box is  
switched on, a TV broadcaster may be transmitting on the same  
channel or a channel very close to that of the cable TV box. (e.g.:  
TV broadcaster on channel 3, cable TV box also on channel 3). In  
this case, change the channel of the cable TV box.  
You must also store this channel on the DVD recorder to be able  
to record TV programs from the cable TV box.  
The antenna cable should also be connected to the cable box and  
the DVD-Recorder as shown.  
Switch on the additional device during the installation of the DVD  
recorder. During the automatic channel search, the channel on which  
the additional device is transmitting will be stored as a TV channel.  
Connect the DVD-Recorder directly with your TV-set (Cable from  
the output jacks S-VIDEO (Y/C)-OUT2 or VIDEO  
(CVBS)-OUT2 directly to the TV set). If there is a video recorder or  
another device in between, there can be distortions in the TV pictures  
from the 'copy protection system'.

audio jacks  
Connecting a camcorder to the front  
jacks  
The back of the DVD Recorder features two digital audio output jacks  
OPTICAL OUT for an optical cable and COAX OUT for a coaxial  
cable (cinch cable).  
To copy camcorder recordings, you can use the front jacks. These  
jacks are behind the door in the lower right corner of the front panel.  
Recordings from the front jacks were stored on the HDD to make  
editing easy. Then you can transfer (archive) them on a DVD+RW/+R.  
Digital (DV) input jack  
If you are using a Digital Video or Digital 8 camcorder, connect the  
DV IN (CAM2) IN jack of the DVD Recorder to the corresponding  
DV OUT jack on the camcorder.  
Choose 'CAM2' as a program number for this input.  
When films are transferred, the original recording date and time are stored  
as DVD subtitles.  
During playback, you can display this data on the TV screen by using the  
'Subpicture' function.  
It can be used to connect the following devices:  
•) an Audio/Video receiver or an Audio/Video amplifier with a  
digital multi<channel sound decoder  
•) a receiver with two<channel digital stereo (PCM)  
S<video input jack  
If you are using a Hi8 or S-VHS(C) camcorder, connect the S-VIDEO  
(CAM1) in jack of the DVD Recorder to the corresponding S-video  
out jack on the camcorder.  
Digital multi-channel sound  
You must also connect the L AUDIO R (CAM1) in jacks of the DVD  
Recorder to the audio out jacks on the camcorder.  
Digital multi-channel sound provides maximum sound quality. You will  
need a multi-channel A/V receiver or amplifier that supports at least  
one of the audio formats of the DVD recorder (MPEG2 and Dolby  
Digital).  
Choose 'CAM1' as a program number for this input.  
Consult the owner's manual of your receiver to find out which audio  
formats it supports.  
Video (CVBS) input jack  
If your camcorder only uses a video output (Composite Video or  
CVBS), connect the VIDEO (CAM1) input of the DVD Recorder to  
the corresponding output jack on the camcorder.  
You must also connect the L AUDIO R (CAM1) in jacks of the DVD  
Recorder to the audio out jacks on the camcorder.  
a A loud distorted sound is coming from my speakers  
b The receiver does not support the digital audio format of the DVD  
Recorder. The audio format of the inserted DVD is displayed in the  
display panel when another language is switched on. Playback using  
6-channel digital surround sound is only possible when the receiver  
has a digital multi-channel sound decoder.  
Choose 'CAM1' as a program number for this input.  
Connecting audio devices to the analog  
audio jacks  
There were two analog audio output jacks AUDIO L/R (OUT  
2) (audio signal output left/right) and two audio input jacks AUDIO  
L/R (IN-EXT 2) (audio input left/right) on the back of the DVD  
Recorder.  
These can be used to connect the following devices:  
•) A receiver with Dolby Surround Pro Logic  
•) A receiver with two<channel analog stereo  
Can I use the 'Phono' input on my amplifier?  
This amplifier jack (input) should only be used for record players without a  
pre-amplifier. Do not use this input jack to connect the DVD Recorder.  
This could damage the DVD Recorder or the amplifier.

Recording on the HDD  
General  
The Time shift Buffer  
As soon as you turn on the DVD recorder, the currently selected TV  
channel on the DVD-Recorder is recorded in a temporary storage  
(Time shift Buffer).  
Recordings in the time shift buffer will be automatically deleted e.g.  
after 3 hours if the period of the time shift buffer is set to 3 hours  
(factory setting). Only recordings marked in the Time shift Buffer will  
be stored on the the built-in HDD For more information, read the  
next section 'The Time Shift Buffer'.  
The following additional information is stored with each recording:  
•) name of the recording  
If no name is recognized from the TV Guide On Screen™systems data,  
only the program number (program name) and the time will be stored  
as the name.  
As a result of the high data transfer speed of the HDD, it is possible to  
play back recordings from the time shift buffer while the recording is  
still in process.  
Therefore, you can jump back to the currently selected TV  
programusing JUMP BACK and watch a scene again.  
•) length of the recording  
•) recording mode (quality)  
•) date of the recording  
•) index picture of the recording  
Moreover, you can use all playback features such as still picture, slow  
motion, search by time, search with N , O even with recordings  
that are still in the time shift buffer.  
In the meantime, the recording continues.  
To facilitate the search of a specific position, a chapter marker is  
recorded every 5 minutes. How you switch off this function you will  
read in chapter 'User preferences for the HDD' in the section  
'Preferences/Chapters'. After the recording is completed, you can  
select these markers with N , O . Please make sure that the  
chapter selection is activated (the 'CHAPTER' symbol lights up in the  
info bar at the top of the screen). If necessary, you can activate it using  
T/C .  
If you change the TV channel on the DVD-Recorder ( CHANNEL q ,  
CHANNEL r ) a new title is created with the new TV channel in the  
time shift buffer. If you watch a TV show only for a short time (less  
than 60 seconds) before you change to a different TV channel, no new  
title is created.  
For easier navigation, you can change the time period of the time shift  
buffer from 1 to 6 hours. 1 hour means that a recording is available  
only for one hour before it is automatically deleted to make room for  
the current recording.  
If the TV Guide On Screen™system delivers title information, the latter  
is also stored with the recording. When recording TV shows without  
TV Guide On Screen™information, only the date and the time of the  
recording are stored as title.  
What is the advantage from 1 hour and 6 hours?  
The complete time periode of the time will be displayed on the whole screen  
of your TV.  
With 1 hour you will get the highest comfort for searching a specific scene.  
With 6 hours you will get the highest possible recording time.  
Please observe that the Time shift Buffer needs also storage capacity on the  
HDD. Depending of the selected record mode (picture quality):  
6 hours in 'M1' = approx. 28GB  
6 hours in 'M8' = approx. 3,4GB  
How you enter the time periode, read in the chapter 'User preferences for  
the HDD' in the section 'Preferences' / 'Recording'/ 'HDD buffer'.

What do the ratings mean?  
Parental level control (DVD video  
only)  
Rating 0 (displayed as '--') parental control not active.  
Rating 1 (suitable for children)  
Rating 8 (only suitable for adults)  
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.  
What happens if a DVD scene contains a higher level than  
the rating set?  
If the recorder does not find a suitable alternative, playback will stop  
and you must enter the four-digit code.  
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.  
0 Confirm with OK . Quit using D and SYSTEM MENU .

The set filter values depend on the respective country. It is therefore  
necessary to enter the country to which these filter values apply.

PROBLEM  
SOLUTION  
Missing or wrong TV  
channels  
bWrong cable connection selected  
The cable box do not  
always react to the IR  
Blaster  
bThe Infrared (IR) Remote control signal interfere with the IR signal of the IR Blaster  
Put the IR Blaster closer to the front of the cable box.  
bThe number of TV channels depends on the setting in the TV Guide On Screen™sytem settings.  
If you have a cable box installed (cable box 'YES'), then you should switch on the available channels  
(Channels above 125).  
In the TV Guide On  
Screen 'LISTINGS'  
screen, I see too many  
or too less TV  
Channels  
™
bIf you have no cable box installed (cable box 'NO'), then you should switch off the channels which are not  
available.  
My cable box does not  
react on the remote  
control from the cable  
box or automatically  
switches through the  
channels  
bIf the DVD-Recorder is switched off ( STANDBY m button) the cable box will be used from the TV Guide  
On Screen™system via the DVD-Recorder. If you want to watch TV-Channels from the cable box, you have to  
switch the DVD-Recorder on.  
Then you can select the TV Channels with the remote control from the DVD-Recorder or from the cable box.  
bBefore recording, select the recording mode as described in chapter 'Manual Recording', section 'Selecting the  
recording mode (quality)'.  
bChange the channel of the modulator. During standby hold on the remote the button 3 pressed to switch to  
channel 3. With button 4 you switch to channel 4.  
There is picture or  
sound interference on  
TV reception:  
bHave your antenna checked.

PROBLEM  
SOLUTION  
bIf a recording is too short, it is possible that a DVD player cannot detect it: Please observe the following  
'Minimum recording times':  
Recording mode 'M1': 5 minutes, 'M2': 10 minutes, 'M2x': 13 minutes, 'M3': 15 minutes, 'M4': 20 minutes,  
'M6': 30 minutes, 'M8': 30minutes,  
bSome DVD players cannot play back DVD+RW recordings. You can solve this problem by using a special  
function:  
A DVD+RW disc  
cannot be played on  
certain DVD players  
1 Open the disc tray with OPEN/CLOSE J . Insert the disc but do not close the tray.  
2 Hold down the number button 2 on the remote control until the tray closes. The disc is  
modified.  
3 You can restore the disc to its original condition by pressing 1 .  
Warning!  
There is a risk that you can no longer play the disc on other DVD players after this procedure.  
Therefore, apply this function with particular care.  
bIf it is impossible to play back a disc, you can try and repair it for new recordings using the following function.  
This will only prepare the discfor erasing. It will not be erased, however, until the recording has been  
completed.  
1 Clean the disc  
Other disc errors  
(DVD+RW)  
2 Open the disc tray with OPEN/CLOSE J . Insert the disc but do not close the tray.  
3 Hold down the red function button on the remote control until the tray closes. The disc is  
prepared for erasing.  
4 Start recording as with an empty disc.  
bThis message may appear if you instert a DVD+R that was not finalized or an error occurs during the  
recording. DVD+R's that have not been finalized are very sensitive to fingerprints, dust, or dirt. This may  
cause problems during recording.  
To use the discagain, follow the next steps  
1 Make sure that the surface of the disc is clean.  
Other disc errors  
(DVD+R), 'Disc  
contains unknown  
data' interruption ofa  
recording (power  
outage)  
2 Open the disc tray with OPEN/CLOSE J . Insert the defect DVD+R but do not close  
the tray.  
3 Hold down 5 on the remote control until the tray closes. The disc will be read ('READING'  
appears on the display) and the DVD recorder will start the repair process. This may take up  
to four times as much time as the recording, in which the error occurred.  
4 If the disc is recovered, the index screen will appear.  
Please observe the following:  
The recovering procedure is successfully only if there was a previous recording on the disc.  
Error during recording: The title may be missing.  
Error while changing the title/index picture: The original title/index picture may be visible.  
Error while finalizing: The disc appears not to have been finalized.  
bYou can finalize the disc using the following function:  
1 Open the disc tray with OPEN/CLOSE J . Insert the defect DVD+R but do not close  
The index screen  
flickers when a DVD+R  
is inserted  
the tray.

Chapters  
Also known as 'scenes', a DVD movie can be broken up into sections  
much like the chapters of a book, that can be accessed quickly and  
easily via the DVD menu or remote control.  
NICAM  
NICAM is a digital sound transmission system. Using NICAM, you can  
transmit either 1 stereo channel or 2 separate mono channels.  
However, if reception is poor and the sound distorted you can turn off  
NICAM.  
NTSC  
National Television Systems Committee. The color TV broadcast  
system used in the US, Canada and Japan. An NTSC picture is made up  
of 525 horizontal lines and has inferior picture quality in comparison to  
the PAL system. All Australian-sold DVD players are NTSC compatible,  
however DVD's that are played on a television that is not compatible  
will appear in black and white.  
Region 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.  
The regional code of the DVD recorder is shown on the type plate at  
the back or bottom.  
Pan & Scan  
One method of converting a widescreen movie to fit in a standard 4:3  
television is known as letterboxing (described above) and the other  
commonly found process is Pan and Scan (also known as Panning and  
Scanning). To retain a fullscreen 4x3 image, the most important part of  
each scene is chosen and the left and right edges of the scene are  
cropped. Obviously, this process results in a loss of some data and  
does not fully represent the film as it was intended to be portrayed by  
the director. As such, DVD enthusiasts are not overly fond of DVD's  
authored via this method.  
Macrovision  
Macrovision is a copy-protection technique intended to keep you from  
making copies of DVDs with your VCR. It works by continuously  
adjusting the video signal level that results in a recording where the  
brightness of the picture continuously fluctuates between light and  
dark, and the color levels fluctuate between oversaturated and washed  
out. Macrovision "encoded" DVDs contain a bit of data that tells the  
DVD player to activate its internal macrovision circuitry in order to  
prevent copying.  
Regional Coding  
A security system introduced to DVD at the request of Hollywood's  
major studios to ensure that DVD's released and sold in one region  
will not play on DVD machines in other regions. Movie distributors  
therefore maintain control over release dates of their films, as well as  
enabling discs to be produced that conform to different censorship  
laws, language and subtitle requirements. When a DVD disc is  
manufactured, a region code is applied at the authoring stage such that  
the final disc will play only on those players distributed in the  
designated world region.
