A ENGLISH Introduction Dear Philips customer, Instruction manuals are usually very dry since they are technically-oriented and often poorly translated. I have therefore been employed by Philips to help you. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Phil. I will be guiding you through the instruction manual and helping you get to know your new DVD recorder.
Welcome to the growing family of owners of PHILIPS equipment. Thank you for buying a DVDR 80/051 . 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 DVD 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.
ENGLISH Discs you can use The following discs can be used in your DVD recorder for playback and recording: Playback and recording DVD+RW (Digital Versatile Disc + rewritable) DVD+R (Digital Versatile Disc + Recordable) Playback only: DVD Video (Digital Versatile Disc) DVD-R (DVD-Recordable). These discs can only be played back if the recording was made in video mode and the recording was finalised.
Regional code Since DVD films are not normally released in all parts of the world at the same time, all DVD players have a specific regional code. Discs can be given a regional code. If the regional codes differ between the player and the disc, playback is not possible. DVDs must be marked 'ALL' for all regions or '2' for region 2 to work in this machine. If the DVD is marked with a different region, it cannot be played in this DVD recorder. The number within the globe represents the region.
ENGLISH Important Caution: Visible and invisible laser radiation. If the cover is open, do not look at the beam. Because of the risk of eye injuries, only qualified service engineers should open the machine and carry out maintenance or repair work. LASER Type: Semiconductor lasers InGaAlP (DVD), AlGaAs(CD) Wavelength: 660nm (DVD), 780nm (CD) Output power (outside the lens): 20mW (DVD+RW write), 0.8mW (DVD read), 0.3mW (CD read). Beam divergence: 82 degrees (DVD), 54 degrees (CD) Danger.
When installing the recorder in a cupboard ensure there is a gap of approximately 2.5 cm (1 inch) around the recorder to enable air to circulate freely and prevent overheating. Make sure that air can circulate freely through the ventilation slots on the machine. The machine should be placed on a firm surface. Make sure that no objects or liquids enter the video recorder. Do not place vases or similar on the DVD recorder.
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.
The GUIDE Plus+® System gives you an on-screen listing of what's on TV. It also lets you program your DVD recorder by selecting the show you want to record from the list on your screen. You simply enter your local post code during set up and you can see the next 7 days or what's on right now or even what's on in a favourite category such as sports or movies. Click with your remote on the show you'd like to see or schedule.
B ENGLISH Connecting the DVD recorder Important information for customers in Great Britain This set is fitted with an approved moulded 13 amp plug. To change the fuse in this plug or to attach a different plug, please proceed as follows: 1 Take off the fuse cover and remove the old fuse 2 Insert a new fuse. Suitable fuses are those of the type BS 1362 3A, A.S.T.A.
2 Open the battery compartment, insert the batteries as shown and then close the battery compartment. The remote control is now ready to use. Its range is approximately 5 to 10 meters. 'Aim' correctly In the following sections, you will need the remote control for the first time. Aim the remote control at the DVD recorder and not at the TV set.
ENGLISH Connecting with a scart cable and 'Easy Link' Your DVD recorder can exchange information with your TV set using 'Easy Link'. Your TV channels can also be transferred in the same order from your TV set to your DVD recorder using 'Easy Link'. Please see your TV's operating instructions. Have the following cables ready: an aerial cable (1, supplied), a mains cable (2, supplied), a special scart cable (3, suitable for Easylink). Connecting the DVD recorder 1 Switch off your TV set.
8 Switch on the DVD recorder using STANDBY-ON m . A message appears on the screen announcing that the transfer has started. 'EASYLINK' appears on the display during transfer. The TV set transfers all saved TV channels, in the same order, to the DVD recorder This may take several minutes. 9 After the data transfer has been completed,, the following appears on the screen: 'EasyLink loading complete'.
ENGLISH Connecting with a scart cable without 'Easy Link' Have the following cables ready: an aerial cable (1, supplied), a mains cable (2, supplied), a scart cable (3). 1 Remove the aerial cable plug from your TV set. Insert it into the ANTENNA IN socket at the back of the DVD recorder. 2 Insert one end of the supplied aerial cable into the TV OUT socket at the back of the DVD recorder and the other end into the aerial input socket at the back of the TV set.
8 If the connection was properly made and your TV was automatically switched to the programme number for the scart socket, e.g. 'EXT', '0', 'AV', you will see the following picture: a My screen is empty. b Many TV sets are switched by the DVD recorder to the programme number for the scart socket by way of a control signal sent through the scart cable.
Insert one end of the supplied audio (Cinch) cable into the red/white Cinch socket OUT AUDIO L/R at the back of the DVD recorder and the other end into the audio input socket (usually red/white) on the TV set (usually labelled 'Audio in' or 'AV in'. See TV operating instructions). 5 Switch on the TV set. Switch the TV set over to the SVHS input socket or select the relevant programme number. Please see your TV's operating instructions for the programme number you need.
3 Insert one end of the supplied video (CVBS) cable into the yellow Cinch socket VIDEO (CVBS) OUT at the back of the DVD recorder and the other end into the video input socket (usually yellow) on the TV set (usually labelled 'Video in' or 'AV in'. See TV operating instructions).
C ENGLISH Connecting additional devices Connecting additional devices to the second scart socket You can connect additional devices such as decoders, satellite receivers, camcorders, etc. to the EXT 2 AUX-I/O socket. When playback is started on this additional device the DVD recorder automatically connects the EXT 2 AUX-I/O scart socket with the EXT 1 TO TV-I/O scart socket. You will then see the picture from the additional device on your TV set, even if the DVD recorder is switched off.
1 Connect the scart socket of the receiver (satellite receiver) provided for the TV set (usually labelled 'TV', 'TO TV'), with the EXT 2 AUX-I/O socket of the DVD recorder. Why can't I use the 'VCR', 'TO VCR',... socket? In order to achieve the best possible picture quality, you must use the RGB (red-green-blue) signal of the receiver. As a rule, this signal is available at the 'TV', 'TO TV',... socket. The DVD recorder transfers the signal to the EXT 1 TO TV-I/O socket.
ENGLISH Connect camcorder to the front sockets To copy camcorder recordings, you can use the front sockets. These sockets are located behind the flap on the right hand side. Best picture quality If you have a DV or Digital 8 camcorder, connect the DV IN input of the DVD recorder to the appropriate DV output on the camcorder. When films are transferred the original recording date and time are stored as DVD subtitles.
Connecting audio devices to the digital audio sockets At the back of the DVD recorder there are two digital audio output sockets OPTICAL AUDIO OUT for an optical cable and COAX OUT for a coaxial cable (Cinch cable). These can be used to connect the following: •) an A/V receiver or an A/V amplifier with a digital multi;channel sound decoder •) a receiver with two;channel digital stereo (PCM) Digital multi;channel sound Digital multi-channel sound offers the best possible sound quality.
D Initial installation After successfully connecting your DVD recorder to the TV set and other additional devices as described in the previous chapters, this chapter will show you how to start the initial installation. The DVD recorder automatically seeks out and stores all available TV channels. Connecting additional devices If you have connected additional devices such as a satellite receiver to the aerial cable, switch them on. The automatic channel search will recognise it and save it.

Decoder If you are connecting a decoder, you must install it as described in the next section. a Sound may be distorted on some TV channels. b If the sound is distorted on any of the stored TV channels or if there is no sound at all, the wrong TV system may have been stored for the TV channel. Read 'Manual TV channel search' for information on how to change the TV system.
Allocating a decoder Some TV channels send coded TV signals that can only be viewed properly with a purchased or rented decoder. You can connect such a decoder (descrambler) to your DVD recorder. The following function automatically activates the connected decoder for the TV channel you want to watch. How do I allocate the decoder for Easy Link? If your TV set supports 'Easy Link' the decoder must be assigned to the relevant TV channel on the TV set (see the operating instructions for your TV set).
ENGLISH Connection using a component video (Y Pb Pr/YUV) cable Component video (Y Pb Pr) is the highest quality picture transmission option. This is achieved by dividing the video signal into a luminance signal (Y) and two colour difference signals - red minus luminance (U) and blue minus luminance (V). As a rule, "Cr" or "R-Y" is used to describe the red difference signal and "Cb" or "B-Y" the blue difference signal. These signals are transmitted through separate lines.
9 Use a component video (Y Pb Pr) cable, connect the three cinch sockets (red, blue, green) COMPONENT VIDEO OUT at the back of the DVD recorder with the corresponding three component video input sockets of your TV set, usually labelled 'Component Video Input', 'YUV Input', 'YPbPr', 'YCbCr' or simply 'YUV'. Warning! Do not confuse these sockets with the five-component RGB sockets (if available) or the yellow video (CVBS/FBAS) socket and the two audio sockets (red/white).
