DVD Disc Menus...

Some explanations in this manual describe DVD Disc menus. DVD manufacturers set the menus, which vary among DVDs. All DVDs do not have menus. If the DVD has a menu, access it by pressing the DISC MENU button on the remote control.

Details are on page 51.

Setup Menus...

Some instructions explain how to use the setup menus of the TV/VCR/DVD. There are two setup menus: one for the TV/VCR features while the unit is in TV/VCR mode, and one for the Disc features while the unit is in DVD mode. Access the setup menus by pressing SETUP on the remote control.

While in TV/VCR mode, you can select only the TV/VCR SETUP menu.

In DVD mode, you can select both the TV/VCR SETUP menu and the SETUP menu for the unit’s DVD Player. Press the SETUP button once to select the TV/VCR SETUP menu. Press SETUP twice to get to the DVD Player’s SETUP menu.

Even if you set a DVD feature in the unit’s SETUP menu, it will not be available if the current Disc does not include that feature.

Available Disc Features...

All features described in this manual are not available on every Disc. If the feature is not available on the Disc, you cannot use the TV/VCR/DVD to make it available.

An “X” will appear in the top right corner of the screen if you try to access a feature that is not available.

For example, some features are available only during play, while others are available only if play is stopped. If you cannot access a feature, try stopping or starting play, then try the feature again.

27DVCR55S specifications

The Philips 27DVCR55S is a versatile television designed for those who appreciate both the convenience of modern technology and the nostalgia of classic home entertainment. This model features a 27-inch screen, making it a suitable size for various room environments, whether it’s a cozy bedroom, a rustic den, or even a stylish living room.

One of its standout features is the built-in VCR, allowing users to enjoy their collection of VHS tapes seamlessly. This integration bridges the gap between traditional and contemporary viewing habits, catering to those who still cherish old movies and cassette collections. The VCR is designed with ease of use in mind, ensuring simple playback and recording functionality, which can often be a cumbersome process with separate devices.

In terms of display technology, the Philips 27DVCR55S employs a high-quality CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) screen.

The viewing angle is commendably wide, ensuring that everyone in the room can enjoy their favorite programs without missing any details.

The television also incorporates a diverse range of connectivity options. It features multiple AV inputs, allowing users to connect DVD players, gaming consoles, and other devices without hassle. The addition of coaxial and composite inputs ensures compatibility with a myriad of devices that consumers might still be using.

Sound quality is another noteworthy aspect of the Philips 27DVCR55S. The integrated speaker system is designed to deliver clear audio, complementing the visual experience nicely. While it may not compete with modern surround sound systems, it offers sufficient performance for casual viewing.

Moreover, the Philips brand is well-known for its commitment to reliable performance and durability. The 27DVCR55S exemplifies this through its robust build quality, ensuring that it can withstand years of use.

In conclusion, the Philips 27DVCR55S is an appealing choice for those looking to enjoy both classic tapes and traditional television viewing. With its integrated VCR, quality CRT display, ample connectivity options, and solid sound system, it offers a nostalgic yet functional home entertainment solution that stands the test of time.
