Welcome to the growing family of owners of PHILIPS equipment.
Thank you for buying a HDRW 720/17 .
Time-shift TV viewing is possible with the hard disk drive (HDD) in
your DVD-Recorder./Hard Disk By storing the recording in a time shift
buffer, you can 'rewind' to a scene you missed while the current TV
show is still being recorded.
Recordings in the time shift buffer will be automatically deleted e.g.
after 3 hours if the period of the time shift buffer is set to 3 hours
(factory setting).
Moreover, you can play back a DVD disc or a recorded title from the
HDD while the current TV channel is being recorded in the
background.
You can store recordings from the time shift buffer on the built-in
HDD and transfer (archive) them later on a DVD+RW/+R disc.
Furthermore your Philips DVD Recorder /Hard Disk is a device for
recording on DVD+RW/+R Discs and for playing digital video discs see
next chapter. In the rest of the user manual the DVD Recorder/Hard
Disk will be mentioned as DVD-Recorder.
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 device.
We hope you will enjoy your new DVD Recorder / Hard Disk,
your Philips team!
If you have any problems operating the device, please read the section
entitled 'Before you call an engineer'. If this doesn't help you to resolve the
problem, please call the customer support service for your country.
You can also visit the website 'http://www.p4c.philips.com' .
Discs you can use
The following discs can be used in your DVD recorder for playback
and recording:
Recording and playback
DVD+RW (Digital Versatile Disc + rewriteable)
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.
DVD+R (Digital Versatile Disc + recordable)
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 later
deleted but they can no longer be overwritten. The
deleted recordings (titles) are marked 'Deleted title'.
Before this disc can be played in a DVD player, it must be
finalized in the DVD recorder. Once this process is
complete, no further recordings can be added.
Playback only
DVD Video (Digital Versatile Disc)
is a 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.
DVD-R(DVD-Recordable)
These discs can only be played back if the recording was
made in video mode and the recording was finalized.
DVD-RW (DVD-Rewritable)
These discs can only be played back if the recording was
made in video mode and the recording was finalized.
Audio CD (Compact Disc Digital Audio)
Super Audio CD
(plays only the CD layer of a hybrid SACD disc)
Video CD (Format 1.0, 1.1, 2.0)
