Welcome to the growing family of owners of PHILIPS equipment.

Thank you for buying a DVDR 70/001-70/021 .

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.
