DVD Region Codes and Color Systems

DVDs must meet the requirements for Region Codes and Color Systems before you can use them

with the DVD Recorder. DVDs must be labelled for ALL regions or for Region 1 in order to play on

this DVD Recorder.You cannot play Discs that are labeled for other regions.These symbols must

appear on your DVDs, or you cannot play the DVD in this DVD Recorder.These symbols might also

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.

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

S-Video provides excellent picture quality. See page 13.

CompositeVideo (a yellowVideo jack) provides good picture quality.

See page 14.

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.

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.

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.

68 DiagnosticTest

If you are still having trouble with the Recorder after checking Helpful Hints and other information in

this manual, you may perform a Diagnostic Test on the Recorder. Follow the steps below.

Disconnect the power cord from the Recorder’s MAINS (AC Power) jack on the

rear of the Recorder.

Press and hold the Play : button on the front of the Recorder while you reconnect

the power cord to the Recorder. “BUSY” will appear on the display panel, along with a

counter number. Release Play :. The counter will reach zero (0) when the test is finished.

Momentarily,“FAIL” or “PASS” will appear on the display panel.

If “FAIL” appears, your Recorder needs repair. Contact the Philips Customer Care Center for

the Authorized Service Center nearest you.

If “PASS” appears, the Recorder apparently has no failure.The problem may be incorrect inter-

pretation of the operating instructions, a wrong Disc in use, or incorrect connections. Contact

the Philips Customer Care Center for further assistance in solving the problem.

If there is no failure, disconnect the power cord again, then reconnect it to the Recorder and an

AC power outlet.The DVD Recorder will be ready for regular use.
