The factory setting off ‘All’ means both coaxial and optical outputs are on, and Dolby Digital and MPEG-2 Multi-channel sound is going to the DVD Recorders output.

If your equipment doesn't include a digital Multi-channel decoder, set the digital output to ‘PCM only’ (Pulse Code Modulation). Both coaxial and optical outputs are then switched on, and Dolby Digital and MPEG2 Multi- channel are converted to PCM. If you are not connecting to equipment with a digital input, change the setting to ‘Off’.

Analog output

Select Stereo, Surround or 3D Sound. Factory setting is Stereo.

Surround : Select this setting when using equipment with a Surround Pro Logic decoder. In this setting the 5.1 audio channels (Dolby Digital, MPEG-

2)are downmixed to a Surround-compatible 2-channel output.

3D Sound: In a setup without rear speakers (analog stereo output), this option remixes the six channels of digital surround (Dolby Digital, MPEG-2) into a two speaker output, while retaining all of the original audio information. The result is the listening sensation of being surrounded by multiple speakers.

Adapt disc format

This option adapts the menu of a DVD+RW disc recorded on a different brand of Recorder. It only shows when such a disc is loaded.

A DVD+RW disc recorded on a different type of Recorder can play, but may not provide all features commonly available to DVD+RW discs, such as the on-screen disc bar, disc settings menu, title settings menu, and editing. If the disc is not erase-protected, the disc format can be adapted to this Philips Recorder, after which these functions are available.

Status box

The status box displays the current status of the Recorder and the disc type loaded (see ‘Operation - on-screen display information - Status box’). You can switch it on or off.

Off = always Off. Status boxes do not appear.

On = Status box appears with the system menu bar or is displayed temporarily (disappears after time-out) when changing the playback or record status.

Factory setting is ‘On.’
