Care and Safety Information  
CAUTION!  
Cleaning discs  
High voltage! Do not open.  
You run the risk of getting an  
electric shock.  
Some problems occur (frozen picture,  
sound disruptions, picture distortions)  
because the disc inside the unit is dirty.  
To avoid these problems, discs should be  
cleaned on a regular basis.  
The machine does not contain any  
user-serviceable parts. Please leave  
all maintenance work to qualified  
personnel.  
To clean a disc, use a micro fibre cleaning  
cloth and wipe the disc from the center  
to the edge in a straight line.

Product Information (continued)  
FlexTime  
Special features  
You can watch or recall a TV programme while  
it is still being recorded. You do not have to  
wait until the end of the recording before  
starting playback. You can also watch a  
different programme from the hard disk while  
it is recording something else.  
Philips provides the best possible connection  
between your recorder and other home  
cinema equipment. The recorder is controlled  
by external devices (for example, receivers  
and TVs) via Cinema Link and is automatically  
set to the right system settings.  
Instant Replay  
You can repeat a scene of a live TV  
programme by pressing JUMP BACK button  
on the remote control, as often as you like. If  
you wish to return to the live TV programme,  
just press TUNER.  
With this function you can align the sequence  
of the channels on your TV with those on  
your recorder. Make sure you have  
connected the TV to the EXT1 TO TV-I/O  
socket of this recorder.  
Pause Live TV  
A live TV programme is now under your  
control. You can pause the programme by  
pressing PAUSE button and resume playback  
at the scene it was interrupted by pressing  
PLAY button. If you want to return to the live  
TV programme, just press TUNER.  
This function enables you to record a  
programme from your Satellite Receiver or  
any other devices. Make sure that the device is  
connected to the EXT2- AUX I/O socket of  
this recorder, and the timer setting has to be  
done on the connected device.  
i.LINK, is also known as ‘FireWire’ and ‘IEEE  
1394’. This connection is used for the transfer  
of high bandwidth digital signals as used by  
digital video (DV) devices. It carries all audio  
and video signals via a single cable.  
Direct Record  
This function allows you to instantly record the  
programme you see on the TV without tuning  
this recorder to the same programme.  
This is a simple programming system for  
recorders. To use it, enter the programming  
number associated with your television  
programme. You can find this number in your  
favourite listings magazine.  
Time Shift Buffer  
As soon as you turn on this recorder, the  
programme showing on the TV will be stored  
into the ‘Time Shift Buffer’. It acts as a  
temporary HDD storage of your recordings,  
the contents will be automatically deleted after  
a time period of 6 hours or when you turn off  
this recorder. To store the contents on the  
hard disk permanently, you have to mark the  
section in the ‘Time Shift Buffer’ for recording  
to prevent them from being deleted.  
The GUIDE Plus+ system lists your TV channel  
programming information. You can use it to  
schedule recordings, glance at upcoming  
programme content, or change channels at  
your external receiver/cable box using this  
recorder’s remote control.

socket (Optical or Coaxial)  
Connecting the audio cables  
You can connect the recorder to an AV  
amplifier/receiver in order to enjoy  
multichannel surround sound.  
This connection enables you to listen to  
the playback from this recorder.  
However, this connection is not required  
if this recorder is connected to the TV  
using the supplied scart cable.  
Use a coaxial cable (not supplied) to  
connect the COAX OUT socket to the  
digital coaxial input socket (or labelled as  
COAXIAL IN or DIGITAL IN) of the  
connected device.  
Option 1: Using the analogue audio  
sockets  
– an A/V receiver or amplifier with a  
digital multi-channel sound decoder.  
– a receiver with two-channel digital  
stereo (PCM).  
You can connect the recorder to a two  
channel stereo system (mini system, TV)  
or receiver in order to enjoy the stereo  
sound system.  
OR  
Use an audio cable (red/white - not  
supplied) to connect the OUT2-  
AUDIO L/R sockets to the audio input  
sockets of the connected device.  
Use an optical fibre-optic cable (not  
supplied) to connect the OPTICAL  
OUT socket to the optical input socket  
of the connected device.  
Make sure that both plugs are fully  
inserted (until a click is heard).  
Helpful Hint:  
– If you have connected this recorder to your  
TV using the OUT1-Y PR PB sockets, then  
connect the audio cables to the OUT1-  
AUDIO L/R sockets as described in page 17.

Copy from Hard Disk to recordable DVD  
IMPORTANT!  
Discs for recording  
It is not possible to record the TV  
programmes or the scheduled timer  
programmes directly to a  
recordable DVD. You can only  
record it to the HDD and then copy  
to a recordable DVD.  
Three different types of DVD recordable  
discs can be used with this recorder:  
– Copy protected (Copy-Once or  
Copy-Never) movies and DVD  
Videos cannot be dub to the HDD.  
DVD±RW (DVD Rewritable)  
– Discs that are re-writable can be used  
for multiple recordings once existing data  
is erased.  
About copying  
You can copy a recorded title from the  
HDD (hard disk drive) to a recordable  
DVD.  
DVD±R (DVD Recordable)  
– Discs can only be used for a single  
recording. Each new recording is always  
added at the end of all previous  
recordings as existing recordings cannot  
be overwritten.  
– Editing can be done on DVD±R discs  
as long as they have not been finalised.  
– You can also delete unwanted  
recordings. However, the disc space  
occupied by the deleted recordings  
cannot be recovered for further  
recording.  
The time required for copying from HDD  
to a recordable DVD depends on the  
recording mode of the HDD recordings.  
It is not possible to change the recording  
mode for copying process. It is therefore  
important that you choose the  
appropriate recording mode when you  
set up the recording to the HDD.  
The copying process is done at a higher  
speed than the recording.  
– To play a DVD±R disc on other DVD  
players, it must be finalised (see page 69).  
After this is done, no more data can be  
added to the disc.

DVD+R DL (DVD+R Double Layer)  
– It contains the same usage as DVD+R,  
the only difference is the capacity- 8.5GB.  
It offers two recordable layers on a single  
DVD disc and are accessible from the  
same side of the disc, so recording can  
occur completely uninterrupted.  
The following information will be stored  
on the disc :  
– Recording mode  
– Title/name of recording  
– Date and time of recording  
– Index picture of title  
TIPS: Ensure that there is sufficient space available on the recordable DVD before recording.  
You have to finalise the DVD±R before it can be played on other players, see page 69.

Frequently Asked Questions  
What kind of disc should I use for  
recording?  
What are Titles and Chapters?  
A DVD disc contains Titles and Chapters,  
which are similar to the Titles and Chapters of  
a book. A Title is often a complete movie and  
is broken down into Chapters, or individual  
scenes from the movies.  
You can only record on DVD±R, DVD±RW  
or DVD+R DL discs. DVD±R/±RW is the  
most compatible recordable DVD format in  
the market today. They are fully compatible  
with most of the existing DVD-Video players  
and DVD-ROM drives in computers.  
Title  
Chapter Chapter Chapter Chapter  
What is the capacity of a DVD±R  
and DVD±RW?  
chapter markers  
4.7GB, or equivalent to six CDs. You can  
store only one hour of recording on a single  
disc at the highest quality (DVD standard) and  
about 8 hours recording at the lowest quality  
(VHS standard).  
Programmes are recorded as a single title.  
They may consist of one chapter or a few  
chapters within a title, depending on the  
recording settings.  
What is the difference between  
DVD±R and DVD±RW?  
How do I set up Titles and  
DVD±R is “recordable” and DVD±RW is  
“erasable” and “rewritable”. With a DVD±R,  
you can record multiple sessions on the same  
disc. But when the disc is full, you cannot  
record any more on the disc. The DVD±RW  
allows you to record over the same disc  
literally hundreds of times.  
Chapters?  
The recorder will automatically create a new  
Title every time you start a new recording.  
You can then add Chapters to these  
recordings manually or have them  
automatically inserted at a specific intervals.  
What does “finalising” a disc do?  
Finalising a disc locks the disc so it can no  
longer be recorded. This is only required for  
DVD±R. It will then be compatible with  
virtually any DVD player. To close a disc  
without finalising it, simply stop recording and  
eject the disc. You will still be able to record  
on the disc if there is storage space for more  
recordings.  
What is DV IN socket?  
DV (Digital Video) IN socket on this recorder  
is an i.LINK-compliant input socket. You can  
connect a DV-equipped camcorder to this  
recorder using a single DV cable for copying  
digital video, digital audio and data.  
– This recorder is only compatible with DV-  
format (DVC-SD) camcorders. Digital satellite  
tuners and Digital VHS video recorders are  
not compatible.

camcorder at a time to this recorder.

Glossary  
JPEG: A very common digital still picture format.  
A still-picture data compression system proposed  
by the Joint Photographic Expert Group, which  
features small decrease in image quality in spite of  
its high compression ratio.  
Analogue: Sound that has not been turned into  
numbers. Analogue sound varies, while digital sound  
has specific numerical values. These sockets send  
audio through two channels, the left and right.  
Aspect ratio: The ratio of vertical and horizontal  
sizes of a displayed image. The horizontal vs. vertical  
ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, and that of wide-  
screens is 16:9.  
MP3: A file format with a sound data compression  
system. “MP3” is the abbreviation of Motion Picture  
Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. By  
using the MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can  
contain about 10 times more data then a regular  
CD.  
AUDIO OUT sockets: Red and white sockets on  
the back of the system that send audio to another  
system (TV, Stereo, etc.).  
MPEG: Motion Picture Experts Group. A  
collection of compression systems for digital audio  
and video.  
Chapter: Sections of a picture or a music piece on  
a DVD that are smaller than titles. A title is  
composed of several chapters. Each chapter is  
assigned a chapter number enabling you to locate  
the chapter you want.  
PBC: Playback Control. Refers to the signal  
recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for controlling  
playback. By using menu screens recorded on a  
Video CD or SVCD that supports PBC, you can  
enjoy interactive playback and searching.  
Digital: Sound that has been converted into  
numerical values. Digital sound is available when  
you use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT COAXIAL or  
OPTICAL sockets. These sockets send audio  
through multiple channels, instead of just two  
channels as analogue does.  
PCM: Pulse Code Modulation. A digital audio  
encoding system.  
Progressive Scan: The progressive scan displays  
twice the number of frames per seconds than  
ordinary TV system. It offers higher picture  
resolution and quality.  
Disc menu: A screen display prepared for allowing  
selection of images, sounds, subtitles, multi-angles,  
etc recorded on a DVD.  
Region code: A system allowing discs to be played  
only in the region designated. This unit will only play  
discs that have compatible region codes. You can  
find the region code of your unit by looking on the  
product label. Some discs are compatible with more  
than one region (or ALL regions).  
Dolby Digital: A surround sound system  
developed by Dolby Laboratories containing up to  
six channels of digital audio (front left and right,  
surround left and right, centre and subwoofer).  
Finalise: A process that makes playback of a  
recorded DVD±R or CD-R possible on device that  
can play such media. You can finalise DVD±R on  
this unit. After finalising, the disc becomes play only  
and you can no longer record or edit on the disc.  
S-Video: Produces a clear picture by sending  
separate signals for the luminance and the colour.  
You can use S-Video only if your TV has an S-Video  
In socket.  
Index Picture Screen: A screen that gives an  
overview of a DVD±RW or DVD±R. An Index  
Picture represents each recording.  
Title: The longest section of a movie or music  
feature on DVD. Each title is assigned a title  
number, enabling you to locate the title you want.  
HDD (Hard disk drive): This is a mass data  
storage device used in computers, etc. Disks are  
flat, circular, rigid plates coated with a thin magnetic  
media. Magnetic heads record data on the rapidly  
spinning disks. This facilitates the reading and  
writing of large amounts of data at high speed.  
VIDEO OUT socket: Yellow socket on the back  
of the system that sends the DVD picture video to  
a TV.
