Introduction
With it, you will be able to record TV programmes or
to edit and archive your own camcorder recordings.
Superb digital picture and sound quality, quick access to
the tracks you have recorded and extensive playback
features contribute to a completely new video
experience.
DVD Video Recorder
DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is 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 to register an entire movie on a
single 5-inch disc. DVD’s variable bitrate compression,
running at up to 9.8 Mbits/second, captures even the
most complex pictures in their original quality.
The crystal-clear digital pictures have a horizontal
resolution of over 500 lines, with 720 pixels (picture
elements) to each line. This resolution is more than
double that of VHS, superior to Laser Disc, and entirely
comparable with digital masters made in recording
studios.
From now on you will enjoy full-length movies with true
cinema picture quality, and stereo or Multi-channel
sound (depending on the disc, and on your playback set-
up).You will find your recorder remarkably easy to use,
by way of the On-Screen Display on your TV and the
display on the DVD recorder, in combination with the
remote control.
DVD recording is the next step in video technology.
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 can be
repeated more than a thousand times. DVD+Recordable
(DVD+R) uses discs based on an organic dye, a
technology pioneered with the successful CD-
Recordable format, to produce discs that keep your data
for a lifetime.
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 DVD-Video discs can be
played on your Philips DVD recorder and
- recordings, made on your Philips DVD recorder, can
be played on most DVD-Video players and
DVD-ROM drives.
6 INTRODUCTION
Box contents
Cleaning discs
First check and identify the contents of your DVD
recorder package, as listed below:
- DVD recorder
Some problems may occur because the disc inside the
recorder is dirty. To avoid these problems clean your
discs regularly, in the following way:

Important:
Recordings on a DVD+RW disc are normally
started from the position of the so-called disc
pointer, i.e. the point where the last recording
was stopped. From there on earlier recordings
may be overwritten without notice, unless the
disc is write protected. In this respect your DVD
recorder behaves just like a Video Cassette
Recorder.
‰ A disc can hold up to 48 titles (including empty
titles). When this maximum is reached the on-
screen message ‘Too many titles’ appears, if you
want to make a new recording. You have to erase a
title first next to an empty title. (See ‘Managing Disc
Content’.)
Manual recording
If you want to make a recording without the risk
of overwriting earlier recordings use the safe
Record Function (see Manual Recording - Safe
Record)
Checking input
Normally, the DVD recorder displays the contents of
the disc on screen.
In the Index Picture Screen you can select the point
where you want to start your recording. Use the w v
(down up cursor) and 5 REVERSE/ 6 FORWARD
keys. You can see the the current location on the disc
bar, indicated by the arrow.
l Press MONITOR in order to switch to the internal
tuner, or whichever other source is selected, if you
want to check the input before starting a recording.
‰ On the TV screen, you will see the actual picture
quality that you will get if you record: the video has
been encoded and decoded again. This is why you
will see a delay of about 1.5 seconds when using a
‘live’ source such as a camera.
l In monitor mode you can choose programme
numbers directly with the digit keys 0-9 on the
remote control.
l Press SELECT repeatedly to select the desired
record mode.
Your DVD recorder always checks the disc that you
have inserted:
‰ When a DVD+RW/+R disc is inserted on which
recordings have been made, the Index Picture
Screen is shown on your TV screen.
‰ If the inserted disc is a completely empty
recordable disc, the message ‘EMPTY DISC’ appears
on the display.
‰ If the inserted disc is a DVD+RW disc with a
content that is not DVD-Video compatible (e.g. a
data disc), a dialog box is shown with the option to
erase or eject the disc. You can only record on this
disc after erasing it with the RECORD key.
l Press MONITOR again to go back to disc mode.

Making your edits DVD-compatible
Favourite Scene Selection
The basic function of any edit operations is to improve
accessibility and handling of your recordings. For instance:
scenes you do not want to see during playback (e.g.
commercials during a movie) can be marked as chapters
and made hidden. During playback you will see your
recording without the hidden chapters as one sequence.
If one or more titles have been edited (see ‘Favourite
Scene Selection’), then the edits will play on your DVD
recorder, but a DVD player may show the original
versions instead of the edits. You can prepare your
DVD+RW discs so that also a DVD player will show the
edited version. This is not possible with DVD+R discs.
Note:
l If the Disc Settings menu shows the option ‘Make
edits DVD compatible’, select this option. If the
menu does not show this option, then your
DVD+RW disc is already compatible, and no
conversion is needed.
In between the scenes the picture may freeze for a short moment.
Each title consists of chapters. With the FSS menu any
chapter can be made hidden or made visible again.
Normally, during recording, chapter markers are inserted
automatically every five to six minutes (this setting can be
changed in the record settings menu). After the recording
is finished, you can manually add and remove chapter
markers via the FSS menu. Both automatically generated
and manually inserted chapter markers can be removed.

Troubleshooting
If it appears that the DVD recorder is faulty, first consult this checklist. It may be that something has been overlooked.
Under no circumstances attempt to repair the system yourself; this will invalidate the warranty. Look for the specific
symptom(s). Then perform only the actions listed to remedy the specific symptom(s).
Symptom
Remedy
The recorder does not respond to
the remote control
• The remote control may be configured for a second DVD recorder.
Hold SELECT+1 pressed simultaneously to revert to DVD recorder 1.
• Aim the remote control directly at the sensor on the front of the
recorder.
• Avoid all obstacles which may interfere with the signal path.
• Inspect or replace the batteries.
Keys on the DVD recorder do not work
• The DVD recorder may still be in Virgin mode. See ‘First time set-up:
virgin mode’.
• Otherwise disconnect and reconnect the DVD recorder from the
mains.
• If this does not solve the problem, check if the remote control still
works. If so, the recorder is probably in trade mode.
Disconnect the recorder from the mains and reconnect it while holding
/ OPEN/CLOSE and 9 STOP pressed.
No picture
• Check if the TV set is switched on.
• Check the video connection.
• When the DVD recorder is connected to the TV set via SCART, you
may not see the picture at the DVD recorder after selecting the correct
programme number on your TV set when a timer recording takes place.
This way, you can still view another device (e.g. a satellite receiver).
Distorted picture distorted sound
Recorder does not play disc
• Check the disc for fingerprints and clean with a soft cloth, wiping from
centre to edge.
• Sometimes a small amount of picture distortion may appear. This is
not a malfunction.
• Ensure the disc label is upwards and that the right disc type is inserted.
• Clean the disc.
• Check if the disc is defective by trying another disc.
• Check if the region code of the disc matches the region code of the
recorder. (pre-recorded DVD discs only). See ‘playing a pre-recorded
DVD-Video disc’.
• Check if Child Lock is activated.
Distorted sound from HiFi amplifier
• Check to make sure that no audio connections are made to amplifier
phono input.
• Check to make sure that analogue input of the amplifier is not
connected to the digital output of the DVD recorder.
Distorted or black and white picture with
DVD or Video CD disc
• The disc format is not according to the TV set used (PAL/NTSC).
No audio at digital output
• Check the digital connections.
• Check the settings menu to make sure that the digital output is set to
on.
• Check if the audio format of the selected audio language matches your
receiver capabilities.
Recorder does not respond to all
operating commands during playback
of a DVD-Video disc
• Some operations are not permitted by the disc. Refer to the

TROUBLESHOOTING 51
A DVD+RW disc does not play
on a certain DVD player
• There are DVD Players that will not play recordings made with a DVD
Recorder. With a special procedure the recorder will solve this problem
for some players. Proceed as follows:
1. Put the disc in the drawer (do not close the tray)
2. Press and hold the 2 key on the remote control for several seconds
until the tray closes. The disc is now modified.
3. If the change has no effect, you may perform the same procedure
with the 3 key on the remote control.
Note :
Modifying the disc can solve the problem for a specific player model, but
playback in other DVD players may no longer be possible.
It is therefore recommended to use this procedure carefully and only when
needed.
• To revert the disc to the original state, follow the same procedure
with the 1 key on the remote control0
Note :
To achieve maximum compatibility, make sure the disc contains at least 5
minutes recorded in HQ mode, 10 minutes in SP, 12 minutes in SP+, 15
minutes in LP, 20 minutes in EP or 30 minutes in EP+ mode. For more
information about compatibility with DVD players refer to ‘Troubleshooting’ in

Diagnosis programme
System limitations
If the recorder is still faulty you can start the Diagnosis
Programme in the recorder.
DVD+RW and DVD+R discs may not play on certain
DVD Video players.
You can operate the Diagnosis Programme by following
the instructions step by step.
A DVD+RW video disc that has been recorded on a
different type or brand of recorder can be played, but
may not provide all features commonly available to
DVD+RW discs, such as the on-screen disc bar, the disc
settings menu, the title settings menu, and editing.
Refer to ‘Adapt disc format’. If the disc is write-
protected, the status cannot be changed.
Instructions
When using manual recording, the DVD recorder will
warn before adapting the format of the disc or removing
non-video data. When using timer recording however,
the DVD recorder will always start to record, unless the
disc is write-protected. Menus, edits and other data
recorded on a different device (e.g. a PC) may be lost.
l Unplug the power cord of the recorder.
l Press the 2 PLAY key and keep them pressed
while you plug the recorder.
‰ On the display the message ‘BUSY’ appears
together with a counter. This counter indicates the
termination of the test when zero is reached.
‰ After a few minutes the message on the local
display changes over from ‘BUSY’ to ‘FAIL’ or to
‘PASS’.
‰ If the message ‘FAIL’ appears on the display,
there is apparently a failure in your recorder and
your recorder should be repaired.
Because of the Variable Bit Rate, a title map take up less
or more space than the overwritten title, even though
the duration is the same. As a result, a part of the
original title may remain, or a part of the next title may
be lost. The maximum deviation is five minutes.
After a power interruption during recording, the Index
Picture Screen will may not match with the actual video
content on the disc. The last recorded title may be lost.
l Consult your dealer or the Philips Customer Care
Centre for the nearest Service Repair Shop in your
country. The phone number is given in your
warranty booklet.
l If the message ‘PASS’ appears on the display, there
is apparently no failure in your recorder, in this case
the failure can be caused by incorrect interpretation
of the operating instructions or a wrong disc is used
or your recorder is not correctly connected. In this
case you should consult your dealer or the Philips
Customer Care Centre for further assistance in
solving the problem.
l If the problem remains, then consult your Philips
Customer Care Centre.
