Instruction manuals are usually very dry since they are technically-oriented and often poorly
translated. I have been employed by Philips for this reason.
Allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Phil. I will be guiding you through the instruction manual and try to be of help in
operating your new device. At appropriate points along the way, I will be providing you with the
following information:
(Question)?
Tip
Problem
Here I will be explaining
seemingly unimportant things.
Here I will be giving you
instructions on functions that
help make it easier to use your
DVD Recorder.
Here I will help you find the
cause of problems and their
solutions.
I hope you have lots of fun with your new DVD Recorder.
Phil
P.S.: If you have questions or if problems come up during operation, please see the helpful
information in the chapter 'Before you call technical support'. If this doesn't help you resolve the
problem, please call the customer support service for your country.

Welcome to the large family of PHILIPS DVD owners.
Thank you for buying a DVDR 77/17 .
Please take the time to read this owner's manual before using your DVD Recorder. It contains
important information and notes regarding operation.
The DVD Recorder should not be turned on immediately after transportation from a
cold to a hot area or vice versa, or in conditions of extreme humidity.
Wait at least three hours after transporting the device. The DVD Recorder needs this to
acclimate to its new environment (temperature, air humidity, etc.).
Your Philips team hopes you will enjoy
using your new DVD Recorder.
What is a DVD?
DVDs (Digital Versatile Discs) are the new storage medium that
combines the convenience of the Compact Disc with the latest advanced
digital video technology. DVD Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG2 data
compression technology that allows an entire film to be put on a single
5-inch disc.
How high is the resolution compared to VHS?
The crystal-clear digital pictures have a resolution of over 500 lines, with
720 pixels (picture elements) per line. This resolution is more than
double that of VHS and is superior to Laser Discs. The quality can be
compared to digital masters made in recording studios.
What is DVD+RW?
DVD+ReWritable (DVD+RW) uses phase-change media, the same
technology that formed the basis for CD-ReWritable. A high-power laser
is used to change the reflectivity of the recording layer. This process
means the disc can be recorded on more than a thousand times.
What is DVD+R?
DVD+R (recordable DVD). In contrast to DVD+RW, this disc can only
be recorded once. If a disc has not been finalized after recording, it can
continue to be recorded upon in the DVD Recorder. Old recordings can
be later deleted, but they cannot be overwritten. The deleted titles are
marked as 'Deleted title.'
For this disc to be played in a DVD player, it must be 'finalized' in the
DVD Recorder. After this has been completed, no further recordings
can be added.
What can my DVD Recorder do?
Your Philips DVD Recorder is a Recorder and Player for digital video
discs, with a two-way compatibility to the universal DVD Video standard.
This means that:
•)existing pre-recorded DVDs can be played.
•)recordings made on your DVD Recorder can play on existing DVD
Video players and DVD-ROM drives. In some cases, the discs may have
to be finalized before they will play on other DVD players.

Special functions of your new DVD
Recorder
Your PHILIPSDVD Recorder has special functions that will make day-to-day use of your new
DVD Recorder easier for you.
Using the 'Digital Photo Manager', you can view and modify JPEG pictures from a memory card,
Picture CD, DVD, or a CD ROM. You can store them on a DVD+RW/+R or on the memory
card. You can create slide shows and play them on a DVD player.
The Type-2 PC Card slot (media slot) allows you to use an ATA Flash Card or other memory
cards using a PC Card adapter.
You can operate the main functions on your television using your video recorder remote
control, even if your television is not a Philips.
This connection 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) camcorders. Its cable is used
to transmit audio and video signals. Along with DV and Hi8 camcorders, some personal computers
with digital video outputs can also be connected to this digital input.
This screen provides an overview of the disc. Each index picture represents a recording. At the
right-hand side of the screen, a disc pointer graphically displays the duration and position on the
disc of the selected recording.
This function can be used to delete commercial interruptions during a film as well as other scenes.
The corresponding scenes are marked, then skipped as desired. This is saved on the DVD so any
DVD player will also skip these scenes. You must make edits compatible.
MP3 files are highly compressed pieces of music. The amount of data of the original audio
material is reduced by 1/10 of the original size using a special process. This enables you to fit up
to 10 hours of music on a single CD.
These music CDs can be played using this Recorder.
As a rule, a recording is made at the current position. This is similar to a video tape, e.g. in the
middle of the tape. By holding down the REC/OTR n button, the recording will be made at the
end of all other recordings. This helps avoid overwriting previous recordings.
New recordings on a DVD+R disc will always be added after the end of all recordings.
The Philips DVD Recorder can play DVDs and CDs. DVDs made using this DVD Recorder can
be played in most current (and future) DVD players.

'Correct aiming' ofthe remote control
In the following sections, you require the remote control for the first
time. When using the remote control, always aim the front part of it at
the DVD recorder, not the TV.
Tip
Connecting your DVD Recorder to the TV
The necessary cable connections must be made before you can record or playback TV programs
using your DVD recorder.
Connect the DVD Recorder directly to the TV. Connecting a video cassette Recorder between
the DVD Recorder and the TV could result in poor picture quality.
When you install your DVD Recorder for the first time, select one of the following options:
'Connecting with Component Video (Y PB PR, YUV) / Progressive Scan (Y PB PR)
If your TV is equipped with Component Video (Y PB PR, YUV) / Progressive Scan (Y PB PR)
input
'Connecting with S?Video (Y/C)'
If your TV is equipped with a S-Video (SVHS) jack.
'Connecting with a Video (CVBS) cable'
If your TV is equipped with a Video (CVBS) jack.
'Connecting only with the antenna cable'
If your TV has only an Antenna-In jack (no other audio and video in jacks) or you do not wish to

Connecting with a Component Video
(Y PB PR) cable
Component Video is the highest quality a system for transmitting video by splitting the video
signal into the Y (brightness), U and V (blue minus brightness, red minus brightness) components.
The signals are sent over separate lines. The plus for these cables and the corresponding jacks
are usually red, green, and blue.
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.
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.
Have the following cables ready:
an antenna cable (1, supplied), a power cable (2, supplied), a Component Video (Y PB PR) cable
(3, red, green, blue jack) or a corresponding video-compatible cinch cable, an audio cable (4,
red/white jack).
Remove the antenna cable plug from your TV. Insert it into the
ANTENNA IN jack at the back of the DVD recorder.

system built into the DVD-Recorder.
The additional device (satellite receiver) must be connected before the DVD recorder (additional
device - DVD recorder - TV set). Only the TV set must be connected to the TV OUT jack.
•) If there is interference in the picture when the satellite receiver is switched on, a TV
broadcaster may be transmitting on the same channel or a channel very close to that of the
satellite receiver. (e.g.: TV broadcaster on channel 3, satellite receiver also on channel 3). In this
case, change the channel of the satellite receiver. Consult the instruction manual of the satellite
receiver.
You must also store this channel on the DVD recorder to be able to record TV programmes
from the satellite receiver.
•) Switch on the additional device during the installation of the DVD recorder. During the

HThe 'Digital Photo Manager'
In addition, you can store the pictures in a so-called album in a specific order, yet without
changing the order in which the pictures are stored on the memory card.
Moreover, you can view the pictures in a slide show at adjustable intervals.
Store the slide show on a DVD+RW/+R so you can view them on a DVD player.
How many pictures can be organized from the DVD?Recorder?
Since the storage size of a JPEG picture depends on different parameters
(quality, picture information, JPEG compression, resolution of the
camera,...) the limitation is only the available storage capacity.
You can store up to a maximum of 999 photos in one album on a
DVD+RW/+R or memory card.
In case you want to store pictures on a medium that cannot be
recorded by the DVD recorder (Picture CD, CD-ROM, finalized
DVD+R, DVD), you can store up to a maximum of 100 pictures per
album in 20 albums. These albums will be stored in the internal memory
with the appropriate disc ID-number. With this number the allocation to
?
the different disc is possible.
Select from the following chapters:
'The PC (PCMCIA) card',
to install or remove the memory card.
'Showing JPEG pictures from a roll' ,
in order to view and modify the pictures and create slide shows from the roll.
'Advanced editing ofJPEG?pictures ,
for advanced editing options such as color, sharpness...
'Creating an album',
to arrange pictures from different rolls in a definite order and to create a slideshow from the
album.
'Making a 'DVD compatible' slide show',
Make a slide show from the roll/album for viewing on a DVD-player.
'Storing rolls/albums on a DVD+RW/+R',
Store your JPEG pictures for archiving on a DVD+RW/+R.
'Changing roll settings',
to modify the rolls to your personal preferences.
'Changing album settings',
to modify the albums to your personal preferences.
'Changing the media settings',
to modify the storage media (DVD+RW/+R, memory cards) to your personal preferences.
What is the difference between a 'Roll' and an 'Albums'?
'Roll'
A folder containing JPEG pictures. It is comparable with a conventional
35mm film for cameras. Rolls will be created automatically from the
digital cameras.
'Albums'
A binary file containing references to the pictures on the rolls. It is
comparable with a conventional photo album that may contain the
pictures of different films (rolls).
You can delete an album without deleting the pictures of the rolls.

DVD+RW
This disc can be recorded on and then erased.
DVD+R
This disc can only be recorded on once.
For this DVD to be played in a DVD player, it must be finalized with
'Finalize disc'. After this is done, no more recordings can be added to
this disc.

Parental control (DVD video only)
Movies on DVDs may contain scenes which are not suitable for children. DVDs sometimes come
with rating information for the entire DVD or only for certain scenes.
Affected scenes are rated from 1 to 8. If a scene with such a rating is recognized during
playback, the DVD Recorder compares the Parental control rating with that of the DVD scene.
If the scene rating exceeds the Parental control rating, an alternative scene will be played back (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.
