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 70/051 . 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 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.
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) DVD-RW (DVD-Rewritable) 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.

Do not place vases or similar on the DVD recorder.
