AIntroduction  
Dear Philips customer,

Introduction  
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.

Introduction  
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.

Introduction  
BConnecting the DVD Recorder  
Preparing the remote control for  
operation  
The remote control and its batteries are packed separately in the original DVD Recorder  
packaging. You must install the batteries in the remote control - as described in the paragraph  
below - before use.  
Take the remote control and the enclosed batteries (2 AA  
batteries).  
1
Remove the battery compartment lid, insert the batteries as  
shown, then replace the battery compartment lid. Always install  
the +/- ends of the batteries as indicated inside the battery  
2
compartment.  
The remote control is now ready to use.  
Its range is approximately 16-32 feet (5 to 10 meters).  
'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  
use any other cable. The TV's Antenna In jack may be labeled ANT IN, RF IN, 75 ohm, etc. Check  
your TV instructions for details.  
11  
Connecting the DVD Recorder  
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.  
1
Insert one end of the supplied antenna cable into the TV  
OUT jack at the back of the DVD Recorder and the other end  
into the antenna input jack at the back of the TV.  
2
Use a Component Video (Y PB PR) cable and connect one end  
to the red, blue, green COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks at the  
back of the DVD Recorder and the other end to the Component  
Video In jacks of the TV.

Please note the color order  
The colors of the jacks on the DVD Recorder must match those on the  
TV (red-red/blue-blue/green-green). If they are not matched properly,  
this could cause the color of the picture to be reversed or there could  
be no picture at all.  
Tip  
Use an audio cable and plug one end into the AUDIO L/R  
OUT jack at the back of the DVD Recorder (next to  
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT ) and the other into the red/white  
Audio In jacks of the TV (usually called Audio in', 'AV in'. Please  
see your TV's instruction manual).

aerial cable  
If you want to connect additional devices (e.g. satellite receiver...) only via aerial cable, please  
observe the following:  
The DVD-Recorder must be connected directly to the TV set. If there is a video recorder or an  
additional device in between, the picture quality may be poor because of the copy protection  
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  
automatic channel search, the channel on which the additional device is transmitting will be  
stored as a TV channel.

Connecting additional devices  
Connecting a camcorder to the front jacks  
The front video and audio jacks can be used to easily connect a camcorder to the DVD  
recorder. These jacks are behind the door in the lower right corner of the front panel.  
Best Picture Quality  
If you are using a Digital Video or Digital 8 camcorder, connect the DV IN IN jack of the DVD  
Recorder to the corresponding DV OUT jack on the camcorder.  
When films are transferred, the original recording date and time are stored as DVD subtitles.  
During playback, you can display this data on the TV screen by using the '  
' function (Subtitle).  
E
Choose 'CAM2' as a programme number for this input jack.  
Very good Picture Quality  
If you are using a Hi8 or S-VHS(C) camcorder, connect the S-VIDEO in jack of the DVD  
Recorder to the corresponding S-video out jack on the camcorder.  
You must also connect the leftAUDIO right in jacks of the DVD Recorder to the audio out  
jacks on the camcorder.  
Choose 'CAM1' as a programme number for this input jack.  
Good Picture Quality  
If your camcorder only uses a video output (Composite Video or CVBS), connect the  
VIDEO input of the DVD Recorder to the corresponding output jack on the camcorder.  
You must also connect the leftAUDIO right in jacks of the DVD Recorder to the audio out  
jacks on the camcorder.  
Choose 'CAM1' as a programme number for this input jack.  
Connecting audio devices to analog audio  
jacks  
There two analog audio output jacks AUDIO L/R OUT (audio signal output left/right) and two  
audio input jacks IN AUDIO L/R (audio input left/right) on the back of the DVD Recorder.  
These can be used to connect the following devices:  
•) A receiver with Dolby Surround Pro Logic  
•) A receiver with two?channel analog stereo  
Can I use the 'Phono input' ofmy ampliifer?  
This amplifier jack (input) should only be used for record players without  
a
pre-amplifier. Do not use this input jack to connect the DVD  
recorder.  
?
This could damage the DVD Recorder or the amplifier.  
20  
Connecting additional devices  
Connecting audio devices to the digital  
audio jacks  
The back of the DVD Recorder features two digital audio output jacks OPTICAL AUDIO  
OUT for an optical cable and COAX OUT for a coaxial cable (cinch cable).  
It can be used to connect the following devices:  
•) an Audio/Video receiver or an Audio/Video amplifier with a digital multi?channel  
sound decoder  
•) a receiver with two?channel digital stereo (PCM)  
Digital multi?channel sound  
Digital multi-channel sound provides maximum sound quality. You will  
need a multi-channel A/V receiver or amplifier that supports at least one  
of the audio formats of the DVD Recorder (MPEG2, Dolby Digital, and  
DTS).  
Consult the instruction manual of your receiver to find out which audio  
formats it supports.  
?
aA loud distorted sound is coming from my speakers  
b The receiver does not support the digital audio format of the DVD  
recorder. The audio format of the inserted DVD is displayed in the  
display panel when another language is switched on. Playback using  
6-channel digital surround sound is only possible when the receiver  
has a digital multi-channel sound decoder.

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.

'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.

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.

you select, the entire disc will be blocked from viewing.
