AIntroduction
Dear Philips customer,
Instruction manuals are usually very dry since they are technically-oriented and often poorly
translated. I have therefore been employed by Philips to help you.
Allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Phil. I will be guiding you through the instruction manual and helping you get to
know your new DVD recorder. At appropriate points along the way, I will be providing you with
the following information:
Question: (?)
Here I will be explaining
seemingly unimportant
things.
Tip
Here I will be giving you
instructions on functions
that will make it easier for
you to use your DVD
recorder.
Problem
Here I'll help you identify
the cause of a problem and
find a solution.
I hope you have lots of fun.
Phil
P.S. If you have any problems operating the machine, please read the section entitled 'Before you
call an engineer'. If this doesn't help you to resolve the problem, please call the customer
support service for your country.
The telephone numbers and e-mail addresses can be found on the last page of this instruction
manual.

Introduction

Welcome to the growing family of owners of PHILIPS equipment.
Thank you for buying a DVDR 75/001-75/021 .
Please take the time to read this operating manual before using your DVD recorder. It contains
important information on how to set up and operate the machine.
The video 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 machine. The DVD recorder needs this time
to acclimatise to its new environment (temperature, relative humidity, etc.).
Your Philips team hopes your
new DVD recorder will bring you
many years of enjoyment.
What is a DVD?
DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is a new storage medium that combines the
convenience of the compact disc with the latest digital video technology. DVD
video uses modern MPEG2 data compression technology that enables an
entire feature film to be stored on a single five inch disc.
How good is the resolution of DVD compared with VHS?
The razor-sharp digital images have a resolution of more than 500 lines of 720
pixels per line. This is more than twice as high as VHS and is even better than
the laser disc. Its picture quality is easily comparable to the digital masters
produced in recording studios.
What can DVD+RW do?
DVD+ReWritable uses phase change media, the same technology on which
rewritable CDs are based. A high-performance laser is used to change the
reflective properties of the recording layer; this process can be repeated more
than a thousand times.
What can the DVD+R do?
DVD+R (write-once DVD). Unlike a DVD+RW disc, this disc can only be
written to once. If it is not finalized after a recording, further recordings can
be added to it. Old recordings can be deleted but can no longer be
overwritten. The deleted titles are marked 'Deleted title'.
Before this disc can be played in a DVD player, it must be finalised in the
DVD recorder. Once this process is complete, no further recordings can be
added.
What can my DVD recorder do?
Your Philips DVD recorder is a machine for recording and playing back digital
video discs with "two-way" compatibility with the universal DVD video
standard. This means:
•) existing DVD video discs can be played on the recorder.
•) Recordings made on your DVD recorder can be played on other DVD
video players and DVD ROM drives.

Regional code
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.
DVDs must be marked 'ALL' for all regions or '2' for region 2 to work in this machine. If the DVD
is marked with a different region, it cannot be played in this DVD recorder.
The number within the globe represents the region.
Regional code 2 represents:
Europe, Japan, South Africa, Middle East (incl. Egypt).

Danger. High voltage! Do not open.
You run the risk of getting an electric shock.
The machine does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Please leave all maintenance work to
qualified personnel.
There are some components in the DVD recorder that keep running as long as the recorder is
connected to the power supply. To switch off the DVD recorder completely you must unplug it
from the power supply.
If you disconnect the DVD recorder from the mains, make sure to take the plug out of the wall
socket and not just remove the connector from the 4MAINS socket at the back of the unit.
Children could seriously injure themselves as the free end of the cable may still be live.
These operating instructions have been printed on non-polluting paper.
Please dispose of old batteries safely.
Please take the packaging to your local recycling centre.
This electronic equipment contains a large number of materials that can be recycled. If you are
disposing of an old machine, please take it to a recycling centre.

Introduction

When installing the recorder in a cupboard ensure there is a gap of approximately 2.5 cm (1
inch) around the recorder to enable air to circulate freely and prevent overheating.
Make sure that air can circulate freely through the ventilation slots on the machine. The machine
should be placed on a firm surface.
Make sure that no objects or liquids enter the video recorder. Do not place vases or similar on
the DVD recorder. If you spill liquid in the recorder, immediately disconnect it from the power
supply and call after-sales service for advice.
Keep the DVD recorder away from radiators and other heat sources and protect from direct
sunlight.
Do not place any combustible objects on the device (candles, etc.).
Make sure that children do not place any foreign objects in any of the openings.
Cleaning the discs
Some malfunctions (frozen or distorted picture and broken sound for example) are due to dirt
on the disc. To avoid such problems you should clean your discs regularly.
1 Dirty discs should be cleaned with a soft cloth. Always wipe from the
middle to the edge.
2 Do not use any solvents such as benzine, thinners, commercially
available cleaning agents or antistatic sprays designed for vinyl records.
Can I use a CD lens cleaner in the DVD recorder?
This optical unit (laser) of the DVD recorder operates at a higher power level
than the ones in normal DVDs and CD players so CD lens cleaner discs may
actually damage it.
CD lens cleaner discs should therefore not be used.

Special functions of your DVD recorder
Your PhilipsDVD recorder has a number of special functions to make it easier to use and to
enhance your enjoyment.
Philips provides the best possible connection between your DVD recorder and other home
cinema equipment.
The DVD recorder is controlled by external devices (receivers, TV sets and so on) via Cinema Link
and is automatically set to the right system settings.
This function automatically transfers all the television channel settings onto your DVD recorder
via the scart cable ( EXT 1 TO TV-I/O socket).
Recordings made on your DVD recorder can be controlled from an external satellite receiver.
At the touch of a button your DVD recorder, even though it is switched off, will check which
channel is currently playing on your television and record it.
This connector is also known as a 'FireWire' or 'IEEE 1394'. This connector is used to transmit
wide digital broadband signals that are used for digital video camcorders. Audio and video signals
are transmitted using a cable. In addition to DV and Hi8 camcorders, PCs with digital video output
can also be connected to the digital input.
This screen tells you what's on the disc. Each index screen represents a recording. On the right
hand side of the screen you can also see a disc indicator that shows the position and length of
the current recording on the disc in a graphic format.
This function enables you to simply delete commercials or other scenes. The relevant scenes are
marked and skipped as required. This information is stored on the DVD in such a way that other
DVD players will skip the scenes.
MP3 files are highly compressed music files. The data is compressed to 1/10 of the volume of the
original audio material using a special process. This means that 10 hours of music can be stored
on a single CD.
These music CDs can be played on this machine.
Normally a recording is made at the current disc position. This is the same as for a video cassette,
in the middle of the tape for example. By holding down the REC/OTR n button, the recording
will be made at the end of all the other recordings to avoid overwriting previous recordings.
New recordings on DVD+R discs are always added after all existing recordings.
Using your DVD recorder you can record from an RGB source such as a satellite receiver using
a SCART input ( EXT 2 AUX-I/O socket). Video signals for the colours R(Red), G(Green) and
B(Blue) are transmitted via separate channels. This reduces the interference that occurs with
standard video cables.
The Philips DVD recorder can play back pre-recorded DVDs and CDs. DVDs recorded using this
DVD recorder can be played back on current and future DVD players.

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 before use - described in the
following section.
1 Take the remote control and the enclosed batteries (2 batteries).
2 Open the battery compartment, insert the batteries as shown and
then close the battery compartment.
The remote control is now ready to use.
Its range is approximately 5 to 10 meters.
'Aim' correctly
In the following sections, you will need the remote control for the first time.
Aim the remote control at the DVD recorder and not at the TV set.
Tip
Connecting your DVD recorder to the TV
set
The necessary cable connections must be made before you can record or playback TV
programmes using your DVD recorder.
Connect the DVD recorder directly to your TV set. If there is a video recorder in between
the picture quality may be poor.
We recommend that you use a scart cable to connect your TV set and DVD recorder.
What is a scart cable?
The scart or Euro AV cable serves as the universal connector for picture,
sound and control signals. With this type of connection, there is practically no
loss of quality in picture or sound transmission.

CConnecting additional devices
Connecting additional devices to the
second scart socket
You can connect additional devices such as decoders, satellite receivers, camcorders, etc. to the
EXT 2 AUX-I/O socket. When playback is started on this additional device the DVD recorder
automatically connects the EXT 2 AUX-I/O scart socket with the EXT 1 TO TV-I/O scart
socket. You will then see the picture from the additional device on your TV set, even if the
DVD recorder is switched off.
The TV/DVD button on the remote control allows you to switch between playback through the
EXT 2 AUX-I/O scart socket and playback from the DVD recorder.
Connecting additional video recorders
You can connect a video recorder to the EXT 2 AUX-I/O socket.
If you have an SVHS video recorder you can also use the OUT S-VIDEO (Y/C) socket and the
OUT L AUDIO R sockets.
Please note:
Most prerecorded video cassettes and DVDs are copy-protected. If you try to copy them you
will see the message 'COPY PROT' on the DVD recorder's display.
a When copying video cassettes the display on the DVD recorder
shows 'NO SIGNAL'
b Check that the cable is plugged in firmly.
b If a recording is made from a video recorder, change the tracking on the
video recorder.
b The DVD recorder may not be able to recognise the video input signal if
this signal is poor or does not comply with relevant standards.
a When I copy DVD video discs or prerecorded video cassettes the
picture is fuzzy and the brightness varies
b This happens if you try to copy DVDs or video cassettes that have been
copy-protected. Even though the picture on the TV is fine the recording on
a DVD+R(W) is faulty. This interference is unavoidable with copy-protected
DVDs or video cassettes.

Connect camcorder to the front sockets
To copy camcorder recordings, you can use the front sockets. These sockets are located behind
the flap on the left hand side.
Best picture quality
If you have a DV or Digital 8 camcorder, connect the DV IN input of the DVD recorder to the
appropriate DV output on the camcorder.
When films are transferred the original recording date and time are stored as DVD subtitles.
On playback, this data can be displayed on the TV screen by using the '
E

Very good picture quality
If you have a Hi8 or S-VHS(C) camcorder, connect the S-VIDEO input of the DVD recorder to
the appropriate S-VHS output on the camcorder.
You must also connect the audio input left AUDIO right on the DVD recorder to the audio
output on the camcorder.
Good picture quality
If you have a camcorder that only has a single video output (Composite Video, CVBS), connect
the VIDEO input on the DVD recorder to the appropriate output on the camcorder.
You must also connect the audio input left AUDIO right on the DVD recorder to the audio
output on the camcorder.
Connecting audio devices to the analogue
audio sockets
Two audio output sockets OUT L AUDIO R are located on the back of the DVD recorder
(audio signal output left/right)
These can be used to connect the following:
•) a receiver with Dolby Surround Pro Logic
•) a receiver with twochannel analogue stereo
Can I use the 'Phono' input on my amplifier?

OUT for an coaxial cable.
These can be used to connect the following:
•) an A/V receiver or an A/V amplifier with a digital multichannel sound decoder
•) a receiver with twochannel digital stereo (PCM)
Digital multichannel sound
Digital multi-channel sound offers the best possible 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 operating instructions for your receiver to find out which audio
formats it supports.
?
a All I can hear from my loudspeakers is a loud distorted noise
b The receiver is not compatible with the digital audio format of the DVD

Direct Record
Can you record the right TV channel in seconds when the DVD recorder is switched off? No
problem. If recording is started manually, the switchedoff DVD recorder takes the current TV
channel from the TV set via the scart cable.

'Direct record'.

stored TV channels via the scart cable. If the same TV channel is found, it

General
When a recording is made to disc, the following additional information is also stored at the
beginning of the recording:
•) Name of the recording
If the TV station does not transmit a name, only the
channel number and time will be stored as the name
•) Length of the recording
•) Record type (Quality)
•) Date of the recording
•) Index picture of the recording
A marker will be set every 5-6 minutes if the 'Auto chapters' function is activated in the
'Record settings' menu. This marker is known as a 'chapter'.
These markers can be changed when the recording has finished.
Can markers be set on a DVD+R disc?
Markers can be set on these discs if they have not been finalised.
?
It is also possible to add 'chapters' later. This means that scenes you do not want to see during
playback, such as commercials, can be hidden or skipped. During playback you can watch your
recording as a continuous sequence without the hidden chapters.
Select from the following chapters:
'Favorite Scene Selection',
to divide the title into chapters or to manage the chapters.
'Editing recording titles (name)',
to change the recording names.
'Play complete title',
to play the entire title including the hidden chapters.
'Delete recording/title'to delete the relevant title and therefore also the recording.
'Disc settings'to change the general settings of the disc.
