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 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 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.  
However, when playing a PAL Disc, the Recorder must be connected to a PAL-compatible TV using  
either the S-VIDEO (Y/C) or COMPONENT VIDEO (Y PB PR) OUT jacks of the Recorder.The  
Recorder’s yellowVIDEO (CVBS) OUT jack does not send a clear PAL signal.

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  
G 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.  
G Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or  
anti-static spray intended for analog discs.  
G Always keep the Recorder’s Disc tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.  
G 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.  
GGGG ComponentVideo provides the best picture quality. Progressive Scan  
ComponentVideo has the ultimate quality, but use it only if the TV has  
Progressive Scan. See page 12.  
GGG  
GG  
S-Video provides excellent picture quality. See page 13.  
CompositeVideo (a yellowVideo jack) provides good picture quality. See  
page 14.  
GG  
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.  
GGGG 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.  
GGG  
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...  
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 andVideo In channels on your other equipment  
so you can see and hear the DVD Recorder on the TV, Stereo, etc.  
G 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 Set theTV to the correctVideo 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 specificVideo 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 theVideo 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.)  
G Connect the DVD Recorder directly to the TV. For example, do not connect  
the Recorder to aVCR, then connect theVCR to a TV.This type of connection  
may distort the picture and sound.Also, yourVCR might have the copy protec-  
tion system, which could distort the DVD image.  
G To connect aVCR to the DVD Recorder so you can copy videotapes  
to a DVD+R or DVD+RW, see page 17.  
G Set a Stereo to the correct Audio In channel or “source” mode.  
G Do not connect the DVD Recorder’s AUDIO OUT jacks to the PHONO IN  
jack of your Stereo.  
G 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.  
G 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 nor-  
mally when the Recorder is off and will improve the reception at your TV.  
Determine the connection that fits with yourTV, 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 upTV 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 con-  
nection 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.  
COMPONENTVIDEO Jacks: The jacks on the Recorder that send or receive  
a picture to or from other equipment.The video is separated into three compo-  
nents (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 Recorders COAX (coaxial) OUT or OPTICAL OUT  
jacks.  
Dolby Digital: A surround sound system that provides 5.1 channel sound as  
used in movie theaters.  
DVD+R: DVD+Recordable.These Discs can be recorded and finalized only once.  
DVD+RW: DVD+ReWritable.These Discs can be recorded on repeatedly.

lar to seeing a movie in a theater. The DVD case may advertise it as widescreen  
format.  
MPEG: Motion Picture Experts Group.A collection of compression systems for  
digital audio and video.  
OPTICAL OUT Jack: Converts electrical signals into optical signals before  
sending the audio to the Stereo. Optical audio is not prone to external electrical  
influences and has less noise, which reduces adverse effects on external equip-  
ment. Keep the protective cap on the jack when the jack is not in use.  
OTR: One-Touch Recording. Start a timed recording by pushing just one button;  
select the switch-off time in intervals of 30 minutes.  
Pan & Scan: A TV aspect ratio setting (4:3). Displays the video with full-height  
picture, with one or both sides of the picture trimmed to fit on your TV screen.  
Some movie companies refer to this as reformatting the picture to fit your TV  
screen.”  
PBC: Playback Control.AVideo CD/SuperVCD feature that enables interactive  
use.  
PCM: Pulse Code Modulation. A digital audio encoding system.  
RGB: Red-Green-Blue.A top-quality video connection where red, green, and blue  
components of a video signal are carried through separate wires.This also is  
referred to as the component video connection.  
S-Video: Produces a clear picture by sending separate signals for the luminance  
and the color. You can use S-Video only if your TV has an S-Video In jack.  
TruSurround: A system that simulates multi-channel sound via a two-channel  
connection (audio left and right).This allows you to enjoy multi-channel sound if  
your Stereo does not have a multi-channel decoder.

64 Helpful Hints  
If you are having problems with your product, check this list of problems and possible solutions before requesting service.You  
may be able to solve the problem yourself.  
No power  
Press STANDBY-ON y on the front of the Recorder to turn it on.  
Connect the supplied power cord securely to the MAINS ~ (AC power) jack on the rear of the Recorder. Connect the  
power cord firmly to an AC power outlet. Use only the supplied power cord.  
Make sure the AC outlet has power by trying another appliance in the same outlet.  
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 correctVideo In channel.These channels are usually near channel zero. Or, you may have a button on the  
TV remote that selects an Auxiliary or A/V IN channel. See your TV manual for details. Or, go to your lowest TV channel  
and change channels down until you see the Recorders blue background picture on the TV screen.  
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 Discs color system is different than your TVs  
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 Stereos PHONO INjack.  
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.)  
No sound  
Check the audio connections. See pages 9-17. Remember, you only need one audio connection. See page nine to see what  
connection best suits your situation.  
Make sure cables are connected firmly to all equipment.  
Select another channel, sound source, or Auxiliary station at your Stereo or TV. See your Stereo or TV manual for details.  
Or, just continue selecting the different sound sources or modes on the Stereo or TV until you hear sound from the Disc  
that is in the Recorder. See pages 9-17.  
Check your Analog output or Digital output settings. Make sure you choose the right setting, based on what equipment you  
connected to the DVD Recorder. See page 59. Make sure these settings match the capabilities of your Stereo or TV.  
Change the Audio setting of the DVD in the DVD Disc Menu.  
A Disc recorded on this DVD Recorder will not play on a DVD Player.  
In some cases, you can adapt the Disc at the DVD Recorder, then try it again in the Player.This procedure does not solve  
the playability problem with all brands of Players. Furthermore, it may make the Disc incompatible with Players with which  
the Disc was compatible before you modified the Disc.  
To modify a Disc, place the Disc in the Recorders disc tray. Do not close the tray. Press and hold the Number 2 button on  
the remote until the tray closes.After the Recorder reads the Disc, remove it and try it on the other Player.  
If the Disc still will not play on the Player, repeat this procedure, but press and hold the Number 3 button instead.  
To return the Disc to its original version, repeat this process using the Number 1 button.  
To play a DVD+R on another DVD Player, finalize the Disc first. See page 40.  
Editing changes may not be accessible when you play the Disc on other Players. Make the edits compatible. See page 38.  
An Audio CD will not play on the DVD Recorder.  
Some Audio CDs available on the market are copy protected.This Recorder may not play such copy-protected discs.  
The Recorder will not select some features.  
The feature may not be available on the Disc. If not, an Xwill appear on the TV screen. Check the Disc case to see if the  
Disc has the feature. If the Disc does not have the feature, the Recorder cannot create the feature.This is not a malfunction  
of the Recorder. Some features are only available during play, while others can be accessed only when play is stopped. Stop  
or start play, then try the feature again.
