Introduction
Welcome to the growing family of owners of PHILIPS
equipment.
Thank you for buying a DVDR 725H/00-02. The
following pages explain the main features to help you
understand how the DVDR 725H/00-02 works.
You will find step-by-step descriptions of each
function in the respective chapter of the User
manual.
Convenience of watching
ꢀWatching DVD discs
ꢀTime ShiftBuffer
Your 'DVDR 725H/00-02' plays back DVDs, Audio and (S)Video CDs,
and MP3 CDs. You can play back and edit the stored TV shows (or
camcorder recordings), and save (archive) these on DVD+RW,
DVD+R media for later viewing.
As soon as you turn on your DVD recorder, it starts recording from
the current TV channel into the Time Shift Buffer. The DVD recorder
stores all the TV shows you watched since you turned on the
recorder. If information is available from the GUIDE Plus+® system, the
recorder will store the title and mark the beginning of the TV show.
ꢀWatching TV via HDD
But your 'DVDR 725H/00-02' is more than just an ordinary DVD
recorder with a built-in hard disk.
From now on, you can use your TV as a monitor and tune to the TV
channels on this DVD recorder, taking advantage of features like
FlexTime, Instant Replay, or the abitity to pause live TV.
The Time Shift Buffer can be best compared to a conveyor belt running
from right to left. A TV show resembles a package on this conveyor
belt. If you change the programme number or the GUIDE Plus+®
system detects the start of a TV show, a new package will be placed on
the conveyor belt. You can adjust the time a package will remain on the
conveyor belt from 1 to 6 hours (the factory setting is 3 hours).
As long as the packages are still on the conveyor belt, you can mark
them or remove the marker. You can only mark the package that's
directly in front of you.
ꢀFlextime
With FlexTime, you can watch or rewind a TV show while it is being
recorded.
You don't have to wait until the end of the recording before starting
playback see chapter 'Recording on the HDD'.
At the end of the conveyor belt (the preset time has expired), the
recorder will decide whether a package will be stored or destroyed.
Only the packages that are marked will be stored.
If you flush the Time Shift Buffer, the recorder will immediately remove
all packages from the belt, storing only those you marked.
ꢀInstant replay/skip
You can repeat a scene of a live TV show at the touch of a button, as
often as you like. You can also skip a scene of a live TV show with the
touch of a button.
ꢀSimultaneous recording and playback
Thanks to the built-in HDD and the high data rates it can achieve, you
can record and play back at the same time.
ꢀPause live TV
You can pause a live TV show by pressing a button, to answer a phone
call, while recording continues. You can resume playback of the show
at the point it was interrupted.
This enables you to:
watch, pause, or rewind a TV show while it is being recorded
(FlexTime, Pause live TV)
•
watch a TV show stored on the HDD while another recording is
being made
•
ꢀEasy navigation
To navigate through the stored content you can choose from various
possibilities.
playback an optical disc (DVD, CD with audio, video, mp3 content,...)
while the HDD records a TV show
•
transfer (archive) a TV show from the HDD to a DVD+RW,
DVD+R while another show is being recorded on the HDD.
•
ꢀThe Disc Manager
This is an integrated database in the DVD recorder that remembers
the recordings on DVD+RW, DVD+R discs made by this DVD
recorder. This gives you a complete overview of your entire video
collection at the touch of a button and an easy access to every
recording.

Introduction
the Media Browser for playback, editing, or transferring (archiving) to a
DVD+RW, DVD+R.
ꢀMedia Browser
The Media Browser provides an overview of all the recordings on the
HDD. You can display a list of all recordings according to certain
criteria (e.g. recording date, protected,...). You can select recordings in
Convenience of programming
Your DVD Recorder is equipped with the GUIDE Plus+® System. The
GUIDE Plus+® System offers a free interactive electronic programme
guide that lists all the TV programmes available in your area.
The guide information is sent together with your TV signal so there's
nothing to load or buy. The service is free!
You can also use the GUIDE Plus+® System to program your DVD
recorder to record your favourite shows.
With the push of a button, you will see a summary of all the TV
programmes currently being shown on the various TV channels. For
the summary, you can either display all shows for a particular start time
or sorted according to category.
Convenience of recording
button and the complete show will be stored on the HDD even if you
switch off the DVD-recorder.
If the HDD fills up with recordings you can switch on the Auto-delete
function, and the oldest recording will be automatically deleted.
Thanks to the built-in 80GB HDD it is possible to store up to 130
hours of recordings directly in the machine. The DVD-Recorder starts
recording the current TV show as soon it is switched on. Everything
you watch through the DVD-recorder is stored in the 'Time Shift
Buffer'.
If you decide to record the show you are watching, press the record
Convenience of editing
The data from the GUIDE Plus+® system is also used to automatically
name the shows. You can edit the name, 'hide' unwanted scenes, divide
titles and change the index picture which identifies the recording.
Convenience of archiving
Each recording on the HDD can be copied (archived) on a DVD+RW,
DVD+R. This will be done at high speed (20 times faster than the time
it took to record), so you will get a disc which contains e.g. a recording
of 5 hours in record mode M4 in about 30 minutes.
During archiving you can still watch TV programmes and record them
in the Time Shift Buffer.

Connecting additional devices to the second scart socket
How can I switch to the scart socket EXT2 AUX-I/O M ?
If necessary,use the TUNER 0 button to switch to the internal tuner.
Select programme number 'EXT1' with 0 on the remote control and then
select programme number 'EXT2' with CHANNEL r S .
ꢀConnecting an external receiver
1 Connect the scartsocket of the receiver (satellite receiver,
set-top box, cable TV box,...) provided for the TV (usually labelled
'TV', 'TO TV',...) with the EXT2 AUX-I/O M socket of the DVD
recorder.
O If your external receiver offers several options for the signal
available at the 'TV', 'TO TV',... socket, choose the 'RGB'
setting.
Why can't I use the 'VCR' or 'TO VCR' socket?
To achieve the best picture quality,you must use the RGB
(red-green-blue) signal of the receiver. This signal is usually only
available on the 'TV','TO TV' socket. The DVD recorder transfers the
signal to the EXT1 TO TV-I/O N socket.
You can connect additional devices such as decoders, satellite
receivers, camcorders, etc. to the EXT2 AUX-I/O M socket.
Some receivers only provide a 'Video (CVBS/FBAS)' signal at the 'VCR' or
'TO VCR' socket.
If you are satisfied with the picture quality on the 'VCR' or 'TO VCR'
socket,you can also use this socket.
Read the instruction manual of the receiver which signals are available
at the sockets.
When playback is started on this additional device the DVD recorder
automatically connects the EXT2 AUX-I/O M scart socket with the
EXT1 TO TV-I/O N scart socket. You will then see the picture from
the additional device on your TV, even if the DVD recorder is switched
off.
O The TV/HDD 4 button on the remote control allows you to
switch between playback through the EXT2
AUX-I/O M scart socket and playback from the DVD
recorder.
Connecting additional receivers
If the TV is connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT
R socket,you can also use the EXT1 TO TV-I/O N socket to

Connecting GꢀLINK transmitter
2 Position the G-LINK transmitter J in front of the external
receiver so that the control signal (IR signal) can be transmitted
and received by the receiver unhindered.
The external receiver (satellite receiver, set-top box, cable TV box) is
controlled via the DVD recorder with the G-LINK cable J (supplied).
This means you can record TV shows that are received only through
the external receiver.
Connecting the G-LINK cable J enables the GUIDE Plus+® system to
show the correct listing.
How do I find the right position?
If the position of the remote (IR) receiver is indicated on your external
receiver (IR,remote sensor,or such like),place the transmitter
J about 1 to 10 cm in front of it.
1 Connect the G-LINK cable to the G-LINK T socket at the back
If the position is not indicated,proceed as follows:
- Switch off the external receiver.
of the DVD recorder.
- Point the remote control at the front of the external receiver.
- Move the remote control slowly along the front while repeatedly
pressing the on/off button.
- When the external receiver switches on or off,you've found the
receiver.
- Attach the G-LINK transmitter J about one to 10 cm in front of it.
Connecting additional devices via aerial cable only
The DVD-Recorder must be connected directly to the TV via a scart
cable. If there is an additional device (e.g. a video recorder) in between,
the picture quality may be poor because of the copy protection system
built into the DVD-Recorder.
The additional device must be connected before the DVD recorder
(additional device - DVD recorder - TV). Only the TV must be
connected to the TV OUT L socket.
If there is picture interference when the additional device is switched
on, a TV broadcaster may be transmitting on the same channel or a
channel very close to that of the additional device. (e.g.: TV
broadcaster on channel 45, additional device also on channel 45). In
this case, change the channel of the additional device. Consult the
instruction manual of the additional device.
You must also store this channel on the DVD recorder to be able to
record TV programmes from the additional device.
To connect additional devices (e.g. satellite receiver) via aerial cable
only, please observe the following:

The Time ShiftBuffer
ꢀNavigation in the Time Shift Buffer
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 programme
using JUMP BACK T and watch a scene again.
Moreover, you can use all playback features such as still picture, slow
motion, search by time, search with N U , O V even with
recordings that are still in the Time Shift Buffer.
In the meantime, the recording continues.
If you switch to another TV channel on the DVD-Recorder
( CHANNEL q P , CHANNEL r S ) 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 GUIDE Plus+® system delivers title information, the latter is also
stored with the recording. When recording TV shows without GUIDE
Plus+® information, only the date and the time of the recording are
stored as title.
Preparation:
•) The TV is switched on, and, if necessary, the programme number for
the DVD recorder has been selected.
•) the DVD recorder is switched to tuner mode (button TUNER 0 ).

Recording on the HDD
General
ꢀThe recoding mode
Recordings on the HDD will be carried out in an adjustable recording
quality, the so-called recording mode.
The higher the quality, the greater the HDD space required. The
recording quality is indicated as M1, M2, M2x, M3, M4, M6, and M8.
The maximum possible recording time on the HDD depends from the
recording mode and the average length of the recordings (titles).
'M1': approx. 32 hours
'M2': approx. 64 hours
'M2x': approx. 80 hours
'M3': approx. 96 hours
'M4': approx. 128 hours
'M6': approx. 192 hours
'M8': approx. 250 hours
The maximum recording time for one title is 6 hours.
The maximum numbers of titles is 499.
The number (M1, M2,..) indicates the number of hours that will fit on a
single-layer, 4.7GB DVD+RW or DVD+R. This means that you can
store only 1 hour of 'M1' recordings on a DVD+RW, DVD+R, while 8
hours of 'M8' recordings will fit on the same disc.
This is particularly important when you want to copy recordings from
the HDD onto a DVD+RW, DVD+R. The quality of recordings on the
HDD cannot be changed at a later stage.
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).
For example:
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 (red
bar in the Time Shift Buffer) will be stored on the the built-in HDD.
For more information, read the section 'The Time Shift Buffer'.
A 3-hour movie that was stored on the HDD in recording quality 'M1'
will not fit on a DVD+RW, DVD+R (M1=1 hour on a DVD+RW,
DVD+R). Only 1 hour of this movie can be copied onto a DVD+RW,
DVD+R. If you recorded the same movie in recording mode M3, the
entire movie would fit on a DVD+RW, DVD+R. (M3=3 hours on a
DVD+RW, DVD+R).
The following additional information is stored with each recording:
name of the recording
•)
If no name is recognised from the GUIDE Plus+® systems data, only
the programme number (programme name) and the time will be
stored as the name.
Useful information
When you switch on the DVD recorder, the currently selected TV
programme will be recorded in the Time Shift Buffer.
In order to store a recording on the HDD, you must mark it red in the
Time Shift Buffer (time bar) before the Time Shift Buffer is deleted.
To get full access to the edit functions of the title, you have to erase
the Time Shift Buffer.

Programming a recording (TIMER)
General
This information is saved in a 'TIMER block'.
Before you begin, make sure the clock is set. If the clock is not set, the
'Time/Date' menu will appear when you press the
TIMER s 7 button.
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.
Using the Time Shift Buffer
Use 'Programming a recording (TIMER)' to automatically start and stop
a recording at a later date.
- To use this function press STANDBY m 2 to switch the
DVD-Recorder on. Then you can use the A I or B O button to
jump to the beginn of the recording.
The DVD recorder will switch to the right programme number and
begin recording at the correct time.
On this DVD recorder you can pre-programme up to 12 recordings
within a period of one month.
'Guide not visible on this output' appears on the screen
when TIMER s is pressed
- It is not possible to provide the Timer Menu on the sockets EXT1
TO TV-I/O N and COMPONENT VIDEO OUT
R simultanously. Connect the TV to the COMPONENT VIDEO
OUT R socket or refer to chapter 'User preferences/Settings II' how
to switch the output to 'RGB' or 'S-Video'.
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

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

Glossary
Chapters
Region code
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.
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.
Componentvideo (Y Pb Pr)
The regional code of the DVD recorder is shown on the type plate at
the back or bottom.
is the highest quality picture transmission option. This is achieved by
dividing the video signal into a luminance signal (Y) and two colour
difference signals - red minus luminance (V) and blue minus luminance
(U). As a rule, "Cr, Pr" or "R-Y" is used to describe the red difference
signal and "Cb, Pb" or "B-Y" the blue difference signal.
These signals are transmitted through separate lines. The connectors of
this cable and the corresponding sockets are usually green (luminance,
Y), blue (U, Pb, Cb, B-Y), and red (V, Pr, Cr, R-Y).
2ꢀchannel sound
Some TV programmes transmit an extra audio signal in stereo in
addition to the normal audio signal (2-channel sound). In most cases
this means that an additional language is available. If a TV programme is
available in, say, English and German, German may be available as the
second language.
To record TV programmes in 2-channel sound, you can select the
language you want as the default setting. This setting does not become
active until the sound of a TV programme is transmitted in 2-channel
sound.
When you play back the recording you can play back the sound only in
the language you used for the recording.
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
Macrovision
National Television Systems Committee. The colour 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.
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.
PAL
Phase Alternating Line. The colour TV broadcast system used in
Australia, UK & Europe. A PAL picture delivers a better quality picture
than NTSC due to its 625 horizontal lines (sharper picture and better
colours).
