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.

You can operate the main functions on your television using your DVD-Recorder recorder remote control, even if your television is not a Philips.

You can upgrade the software of your DVD-Recorder with a CD-ROM.

On the web site http://www.p4c.philips.com under the model number 'HDRW 720/00-02' you will find the data and the upgrade information.

With this function you can align the sequence of the TV channels from the DVD-Recorder with that from yor TV.

With this function the recording on the DVD-Recorder can be controlled via the scart socket. You can use this function if you have a satellite receiver that can control other devices via a scart cable and has a programming function (timer). For more information, consult the instruction manual of your 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 unwanted scenes. The relevant scenes are marked and skipped as required. If you store (archive) such titles on a DVD+RW/+R you can decide if you want to store the original title (with the hidden scenes) or the edited title (without the hidden scenes).

MP3 CDs can be played on this machine.

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.

Using your DVD recorder you can record from an RGB source such as a satellite receiver using a SCART input ( EXT2 AUX-I/Osocket). 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.
