Special functions of your DVD recorder
Your PhilipsDVD recorder has a number of special functions to make it easier to use and to
enhance your enjoyment.
You can operate the main functions on your television using your DVD-Recorder recorder remote
control, even if your television is not a Philips.
You can upgrade the software of your DVD-Recorder with a CD-ROM.
On the web site http://www.p4c.philips.com under the model number 'HDRW 720/17' you will find
the data and the upgrade information.
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. On the right
hand side of the screen you can also see a disc indicator that shows the position and length of the
current recording on the disc in a graphic format.
This function enables you to simply delete unwanted scenes. The relevant scenes are marked and
skipped as required. If you store (archive) such titles on a DVD+RW/+R you can decide if you want
to store the original title (with the hidden scenes) or the edited title (without the hidden scenes).
MP3 CDs can be played on this machine.
MP3 files are highly compressed music files. The data is compressed to 1/10 of the volume of the
original audio material using a special process. This means that 10 hours of music can be stored on
a single CD.
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.
With this DVD recorder each soundtrack in 2-channel Dolby Digital is recorded onto a
DVD+RW/+R.

This DVD Recorder is equipped with Directional Correlational Deinterlacing, known as DCDi
™
.
DCDi was developed by Faroudja Laboratories for ultra-high-end home theater equipment to
eliminate the jagged edges that appear when standard interlaced video is viewed on Progressive
Scan displays. This patented technology identifies edges at any angle in moving video images and
interpolates along the edge, pixel-by-pixel, to produce smooth natural looking images.
