appear on the Disc’s case or packaging.  
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 DVD 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 its 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 COMPONENTVIDEO (Y PB PR) jacks of the Recorder.The Recorder’s  
VIDEO (CVBS) jack does not send a clear PAL signal. If a PAL Disc is copy-protected, the picture may  
not be correct if you are using the COMPONENTVIDEO (Y PB PR) jacks.

DVD Disc Menus...  
Some explanations in this manual describe the DVD Disc Menus, which  
vary among DVDs. Movie producers set these menus, and not all DVDs  
have menus. But, if the DVD has a menu, access it by pressing the DISC  
MENU button on the remote control. See page 34.  
DVD Recorder Menus...  
Some instructions explain how to use the Recorder’s System Menu or  
Menu Bars to set up features of the Recorder or the Disc.You get to the  
System Menu by pressing SYSTEM MENU on the remote control. See page  
30. 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.  
DVD Player Upgrades  
If a DVD does not play properly, please contact Philips at 1-800-531-0039  
for assistance. Due to the inconsistency of Disc formats provided by vari-  
ous Disc manufacturers, your DVD Recorder may require a playability  
enhancement.As DVD technology has advanced, these enhancements have  
become both common and easy to complete.  
Available Disc Features...  
Features in this manual may not be available on every Disc. If the feature is  
not available, you cannot use the Recorder to make it 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.  
Hookups 9  
Determining the best possible connection...  
Your existing equipment, especially your TV, will determine your connection.These  
guidelines describe which options provide the best picture and sound quality.  
GGGG ComponentVideo provides the best picture quality. Progressive Scan  
ComponentVideo has the highest quality, but use it only if the TV has  
Progressive Scan. See pages 12 and 60.  
GGG  
GG  
S-Video provides excellent picture quality. See page 13.  
CompositeVideo (a yellowVideo jack) provides good picture quality.  
See page 14.  
GG  
YourTV may have only an RF-style jack, usually labeled  
Antenna In or 75 ohm. You can use an RF coaxial cable for a simple  
connection. See page 10.  
GGGG Digital audio connections provide the clearest sound. Connect the  
Recorder’s Coaxial DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to your Stereo for the  
best sound quality. See page 16.  
GGG  
For the most common audio connection, connect the Recorder’s  
white/red OUT AUDIO L/R (left/right) 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, Cable Box, or other equipment as  
necessary. Note the 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 or channel 3.  
This is channel 3 if you connect the Recorder directly to aTV only as  
shown on page 10.  
Otherwise,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 nearTV channel zero (0). Or, your TV remote con-  
trol 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.  
G Connect the Recorder directly to the TV. For example, do not connect the  
Recorder to aVCR, then connect theVCR to a TV. This may distort the pic-  
ture and sound. YourVCR may have the copy protection system, which could  
distort the DVD image.  
G Set the Stereo to the correct channel or “source” mode.  
G Do not connect the 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  
Recorder and your TV (or TV and Stereo).You will not use all the jacks on the  
Recorder.  
G You can use the DVD Recorder to preserve your memories by copy-  
ing a videotape to a DVD+R or DVD+RW. Special connections are  
needed between the DVD Recorder and your camcorder orVCR,  
which will play the existing videotape into the DVD Recorder for  
recording. See page 17 for details.  
Once you determine the option that best fits with your existing  
equipment, find your choice on pages 10-16. Follow the steps for the  
hookup you chose.  
When you finish your connections and turn on the Recorder for the  
first time, complete the Initial Setup.This sets upTV channels, menu  
languages, and other features. Go to page 18 to do the Initial Setup.

VCR Plus+ Channels 27  
If you intend to use theVCR Plus+ programming system, program the DVD  
Recorder with your local channel information.This will only take a few min-  
utes. Since the channel numbers of the stations you receive may not be the  
same as the station numbers, and since channel numbers differ from area to  
area, you must set up channels in order for the system to work efficiently.  
Before you begin, make sure you have 1) a cable TV channel list, if applicable  
(you can request one from your cable TV company), and 2) a chart that lists  
VCR Plus+ channel numbers, which you can find in your TV guide or the TV  
listings of your local newspaper.

Glossary 65  
AC-3: Audio Coding 3, also known as Dolby Digital; a multi-channel digital audio compression system  
from Dolby Labs.  
Analog: Sound that has not been turned into numbers.Analog sound varies, while digital sound has spe-  
cific numerical values.Analog sound is available when you use the red and white audio jacks on your  
equipment.These jacks send audio through two channels, the left and right.  
AUDIO Jacks: Red and white jacks that send audio to other equipment (TV, Stereo, etc.) (OUT) or  
receive sound from other equipment (IN).  
Coaxial DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack: Sends digital audio to a Stereo, letting you 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 or a DVD picture, for  
example PAL, SECAM, and NTSC. NTSC is the most common color system in the United States of  
America. The Recorder automatically selects the correct color system of DVDs.  
COMPONENTVIDEO Jacks: The OUT jacks send high-quality video to aTV that has Component  
Video In jacks.The IN jacks allow the Recorder to receive high-quality video from other equipment, such  
as a DVD Player. The OUT jacks are also compatible with Progressive Scan (if yourTV has Progressive  
Scan).  
Digital: Sound that has been converted into numerical values. Digital sound is available when you use  
the Coaxial DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack on the Recorder. Sound is distributed through multiple channels.  
DigitalVideo or i.LINK: Also known as ‘FireWire ’and ‘IEEE 1394.’ A cable for transfer of high band-  
width digital signals as used by DigitalVideo camcorders or some Personal Computers.  
Dolby Digital: A surround sound system that provides 5.1 channel sound as used in movie theaters.  
DTS: DigitalTheater Systems.This is a surround sound system, but it is different from Dolby Digital.The  
formats were developed by different companies.  
DVD+R: DVD+Recordable.These Discs can be recorded and finalized only once.  
DVD+RW: DVD+ReWritable.These Discs can be recorded on repeatedly.  
Index Picture Screen: A screen that gives an overview of a DVD+RW or DVD+R.An Index Picture  
represents each recording.  
Letterbox: Widescreen format; aTV aspect ratio setting (4:3). Displays the video in full-width, with  
black bars at the top and bottom of theTV screen.This format is similar to seeing a movie in a theater. If  
the Disc does not include a letterbox format, selecting 4:3 letterbox may have no effect. (For example,  
some DVDs are two-sided, with one side playing in widescreen format and the other side playing in a  
normal format.)  
MPEG: Motion Picture Experts Group.A collection of compression systems for digital audio and video.  
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: ATV aspect ratio setting (4:3). Displays the video with full-height picture, with one or  
both sides of the picture trimmed to fit on yourTV screen. Some movie companies refer to this as  
“reformatting the picture to fit yourTV screen.”  
PBC: Playback Control.A special feature on aVideo CD or SuperVCD that enables interactive use.  
PBS: Public Broadcast System.The PBS channel transmits data for Automatic clock setting.  
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 connec-  
tion.  
S-Video: Produces a clearer picture by sending separate signals for the luminance and the color.  
VCD: Video Compact Disc. Similar to DVDs, but hold a smaller amount of recording.  
VCR Plus+ System: Allows you to set a timer recording by entering a PlusCode number found in par-  
ticipatingTV listings.  
VIDEO Jacks: Yellow jacks that send picture to yourTV (OUT) or receive video from other equip-  
ment (IN) (Camcorder,VCR, DVD Player, etc.).  
Widescreen: ATV aspect ratio setting (16:9). Displays the video appropriately when you connect the  
DVD Recorder to a widescreenTV.
