Welcome to the growing family of owners of PHILIPS equipment.
Thank you for buying a DVDR 725H/05. The following pages contain
explanations of the main features that will help you better understand
how the DVDR 725H/05 works.
You will find step-by-step descriptions of each function in the respective
chapter of the User manual.
FeaturesTheDVDR 725H/05is a DVD recorder that can store TV-shows on a built-in hard disk (HDD).
Moreover,it is a DVD player that can play back DVDs, audio and (s-)video CDs, and MP3 CDs. You can play back and edit the stored TV shows
(orcamcorder recordings), and save(archive) these on DVD+RW/+R media for later viewing.
Butyour DVDR 725H/05is more than just an ordinary DVD recorder with a built-in hard disk.
Fromnow on, it's better to use your TV set just as a monitor and tune to the various TV channels from your DVD recorder, taking advantage of
featureslike FlexTime,Instant Replay, or the abitity to pause live TV.
•FlexTime:
WithFlexTime, you canwatch or rewind a TV show while it is being recorded.
Youdon't have to wait until the end of the recording before starting playback.
•InstantReplay:
Youcan repeat a scene of a live TV show at the touch of a button ( JUMP BACK ), as often as you like.
•PauseLive TV
Youcan pause a live TV show by pressing PAUSE 9to, say, answer a phone call, while the recording continues. By pressing PLAY G, you
canresume playback of the show at the scene it wasinterrupted.
Time Shift BufferTheabove featuresare available because the DVDR 725H/05uses a so-called Time Shift Buffer.
Assoon as you turn on yourDVD recorder, it starts recording from the current TV channel into the
TimeShift Buffer. The DVD recorder stores all the TV shows you watched since you turned on the
recorder.If you watched a TV show for more than 60 seconds, the recorder will insert a marker. If
informationis already availablefrom the GUIDE Plus+®system, the recorder will store the title and
markthe beginning of the TV show.
Note:Whenyou are recordingfrom a cable box through the external input jacks, the title and start/end
informationwill not beavailable.
If the TimeShift Buffer is full (the default setting is 3 hours) the recorder will delete the oldest
recordingto make room for new recordings. You can mark TV shows or parts of these to be recorded permanently on the HDD while the other
contentsof the TimeShift Buffer will be deleted.
TheTime ShiftBuffer can be best compared to a conveyor belt running from right to left. A TV show resembles apackage on this conveyor belt. If
youchange the programme number or the GUIDE Plus+®system detects the start of a TV show, a new package will be placed on the conveyor
belt.You can adjust the time a package will remain on the conveyor belt from 1 to 6 hours (the default setting is 3 hours).
Aslong as the packages are still on the conveyor belt, you can mark them red ( REC/OTR n) or remove the marker ( RED function button).
Youcan onlymark the package that's directly in front of you.
Atthe end of the conveyor belt (the preset time has expired), the recorder will decide whether a package will be stored (marked red) or
destroyed(unmarked). Only the packagesthat are marked red will be stored.
If youdelete the Time Shift Buffer, the recorder will immediately remove all packages from the belt, storing only those you marked red.
