A Introduction Dear Philips customer, ENGLISH 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 77/00-02 . 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.
Discs you can use ENGLISH 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.
Important ENGLISH 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.
Special functions of your DVD recorder Philips provides the best possible connection between your DVD recorder and other home cinema equipment. Using the 'Digital Photo Manager', you can view and modify JPEG pictures from a memory card, Picture CD, DVD, or a CD ROM. You can store them on a DVD+RW/+R or on the memory card. You can create slide shows and play them on a DVD player. The Type-2 PC Card slot (media slot) allows you to use an ATA Flash Card or other memory cards using a PC Card adapter.
The Philips DVD recorder can play back pre-recorded DVDs and CDs. DVDs recorded using this DVD recorder can be played back on current and future DVD players. Dolby Digital is a standard developed by Dolby Laboratories for transmitting from 1 to 5 full-range channels as well as a low frequency (.1) channel for a total of 5.1 discrete channels. The loudspeakers are arranged front left, front middle, front right, rear left and rear right. This system is currently the most common system and is used in cinemas.
B Connecting the DVD recorder The remote control and its batteries are packed separately in the original DVD recorder packaging. You must install the batteries in the remote control before use - described in the following section. 1 Take the remote control and the enclosed batteries (2 batteries). 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.
When you install your DVD recorder for the first time, select one of the following options: 'Connecting with a scart cable and Easy Link' If your TV set is equipped with 'Easy Link, Cinema Link, NexTView Link, Q-Link, Smart Link, Megalogic, Datalogic, ...' and you wish to use a scart cable. 'Connecting with a scart cable without Easy Link' If your TV set is not equipped with 'Easy Link, Cinema Link, NexTView Link, Q-Link, Smart Link, Megalogic, Datalogic, ...' and you wish to use a scart cable.
EasyLink loading data from TV; please wait Switch on the TV set. 7 Use the supplied mains cable to connect the mains socket 4MAINS at the back of the DVD recorder with the wall outlet. The most important features of the DVD recorder will appear in scrolling text on the display. After the first installation is completed this function will be switched off. How you switch on this function again, read in the chapter 'User preferences' in the section 'standby'.
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.
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 Depending on the initializing period it can take some time before you see the picture on the TV. 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.
4 Insert one end of the supplied audio (Cinch) cable into the red/white Cinch socket AUDIO L/R OUT 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.
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 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.
You can connect external receivers to the EXT 2 AUX-I/O socket. For additional receivers, you can also use the EXT 1 TO TV-I/O socket (if the TV set is connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT sockets), and VIDEO , S-VIDEO sockets at the front. Please observe that you also have to connect an audio cable to the IN AUDIO L/R or left AUDIO right socket.
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. On playback, this data can be displayed on the TV screen by using the 'E' function (Subtitle).
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) Connecting additional devices Digital multi channel sound Digital multi-channel sound offers the best possible sound quality.
D Installing your DVD recorder 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.
7 Virgin mode TV Shape 4:3 letterbox 4:3 panscan 16:9 Select the desired screen format position using B or A . These settings will only be used if you insert a DVD that contains this information.

The initial installation is now complete. Satellite receiver If you are connecting a satellite receiver, please read the section on 'Using a satellite receiver'. Decoder If you are connecting a decoder, you must install it as described in the next section. Tip 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.
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).
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 (V) and blue minus luminance (U). 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'. Please observe the colour sequence The colours of the sockets at the DVD recorder and the connectors must match those of the socket colours at the TV set (red-red/blue-blue/green-green).
