Note for HDMI connection
• A simple 1-cable connection with a device having an HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) connector
allows digital transfer of the digital images of DVD-video and other devices.
When connecting with an HDMI cable, the audio signal will be output as the digital audio signal simultaneously,
so you do not need the analog audio connection described above.
Note
• Connect this unit directly to the TV. If the RCA audio/video cables are connected to a VCR, pictures may be
distorted due to the copy protection system.
To set progressive scan mode, refer to page 110
• This unit is compatible with the progressive scan system. The feature provides you with the higher quality images than the
traditional output system does. To utilize this feature, you must set “Progressive Scan” to “ON”.

Copyright protection system
To play back the digital video images of a DVD via an HDMI connection, it is necessary that both the player and the
display device (or an AV amplifier) support a copyright protection system called HDCP (high-bandwidth digital
content protection system). HDCP is copy protection technology that comprises data encryption and authentication
of the connected AV device. This unit supports HDCP. Please read the operating instructions of your display device
(or AV amplifier) for more information.
Note
• When using HDCP-incompatible display device, the image will not be viewed properly.
• Among the devices that support HDMI, some devices can control other devices via the HDMI connector; however,
this unit cannot be controlled by another device via the HDMI connector.
• The audio signals from the HDMI connector (including the sampling frequency, the number of channels and bit
length) maybe limited by the device that is connected.
• Among the monitors that support HDMI, some do not support audio output (for example, projectors). In
connections with device such as this unit, audio signals are not output from the HDMI output connector.
• When this unit’s HDMI connector is connected to a DVI-D compatible monitor (HDCP compatible) with an HDMI-
DVI converter cable, the signals are output in digital RGB.

Note
• It may take up to 5 to 7 seconds to switch the digital

• In digital TV broadcasting, 2 or more channels, called
minor channels, are simultaneously broadcast on one
main channel, called major channel.
About digital TV broadcasting:
With its high definition broadcast, digital broadcasting far
surpasses analog broadcasting in both its picture and
sound quality.
What is the minor channel?
By using high compression technology, digital
broadcasting offers a service that enables multiple signals
to send simultaneously.
Therefore, you can select more than one program per
major channel since digital broadcasting technology
distinguishes between multiple channels broadcast by a
signal network.

INFORMATION ON RECORDING
HDD is a special device which has high recording density
and is suited for long-time recording or high-speed
cueing but by contrast, has many factors which can cause
breakage. Use HDD on the premise that you should dub
the recorded programs to a DVD to protect your precious
videos.
HDD is a temporary storage location:
HDD is not a permanent storage location of the recorded
contents. Be sure to use it as a temporary storage location
until you watch the programs once, edit them, or dub
them to a DVD.
Be sure to dub (back up) data promptly if you find
abnormalities in HDD:
If there is mechanical trouble with the HDD, grinding or
other sounds may be heard or blocky noise may appear
on the image. If you continue to use as it is, deterioration
may continue and eventually the HDD may not be used
at all. If you notice these symptoms of a failing HDD,
promptly dub the data to a DVD. When an HDD fails,
recovery of recorded content (data) may be impossible.
About the remaining capacity of HDD recording time:
The on-screen indication of the possible recording time
left on HDD / DVD may differ from the actual recordable
time as this unit employs the variable bit rate encoding
system which varies the recording (storage) amount of
data in conformity with the amount of information on the
video.
Before recording to the HDD, ensure there is sufficient
space on the HDD by deleting unnecessary titles in
advance.

“High”
This unit is compatible with the high speed dubbing from
HDD to DVD.
High speed dubbing offers you the dubbing speed of 12
times the SLP mode dubbing. To perform the high speed
dubbing, set the recording mode to “High”.
• Duration of high speed dubbing will vary depending on
the recording mode or the title amount.
• High speed dubbing is not available when;
- recording mode is set to other than “High”.
- dubbing from a DVD to the HDD.
- there is not enough space in the disc.
- duration of the title is more than 5 hours.
• During dubbing (except for high speed dubbing), you
only can use [STOP C] on the front panel, and any other
buttons will be invalid.
“Auto”
When “Auto” is selected as a recording mode, the unit
calculates how much time is available on the disc and
selects the best recording mode available automatically.
• “Auto” is available only when dubbing from HDD to
DVD.
• The recording may be cut short when the available
recording space of the disc is too limited.
Note on dubbing
• During normal dubbing, you can watch the playback
picture of the title being dubbed (the audio cannot
be changed). During high speed dubbing, however,
the playback picture will not appear.
• Dubbing of a “copy-once only” program is not
possible with this unit.
• If you stop the dubbing halfway, the contents will be
dubbed up to the point where you stop the dubbing
(except for the high speed dubbing). With high
speed dubbing, nothing will be dubbed if you stop it
halfway.
• To stop the dubbing in progress, press [STOP C] on
the front panel.

Analog Audio
An electrical signal that directly represents sound.
Compare this to digital audio which can be an electrical
signal, but is an indirect representation of sound. See also
“Digital Audio”.
Aspect Ratio
The width of a TV screen relative to its height.
Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the TV screen
is almost square); widescreen models are 16:9 (the TV
screen is almost twice as wide as it is high).
Chapter
Just as a book is split up into several chapters, a title on a
DVD is usually divided into chapters. See also “Title”.
Component Video Output
Each signal of luminance (Y) and component (PB/CB, PR/
C
R) is independent to output so that you can experience
picture color as it is.
Also, due to compatibility with progressive video
(525p/480p), you can experience higher-density picture
than that in interlace (525i/480i).
Digital Audio
An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During
recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals
(44,100 times a second for CD audio) by an analog-
to-digital converter, generating a stream of numbers.
On playback, a digital-to-analog converter generates
an analog signal based on these numbers. See also
“Sampling Frequency” and “Analog Audio”.
DivX®
DivX® is a codec (compression/decompression) that can
compress images to a very small amount of data.
Dolby Digital
The system to compress digital sound developed by
Dolby Laboratories. It offers you sound of stereo(2ch) or
multi channel audio.
Finalize
To make DVD, which have been recorded on, possible to
play back in DVD players. With this unit, it is possible to
finalize DVD+R, DVD-RW, and DVD-R.
HDMI (high definition multimedia interface)
A digital interface between audio and video source. It can
transmit component video, audio, and control signal with
one cable connection.
JPEG (joint photographic experts group)
JPEG is a method of compressing still image files. You can
copy JPEG files on CD-RW/-R from a computer and play
back the files on this unit.
MP3 (MPEG audio layer 3)
MP3 is a method of compressing files. You can copy MP3
files on CD-RW/-R from the computer and play back the
files on this unit.
PBC (playback control) (video CD only)
This function enables you to play back interactive
software using a menu screen. See also “Video CD”.
PCM (pulse code modulation)
The most common system of encoding digital audio,
found on CD and DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a
lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital
and MPEG audio. For compatibility with digital audio
recorders (CD, MD and DAT) and AV amplifiers with
digital inputs, this unit can convert Dolby Digital and
MPEG audio to PCM. See also “Digital Audio”.
Progressive Scan (525p/480p)
A type of display that does not split each frame into
fields, and instead scans directly through all the scanlines
of each frame in order. Progressive scan provides less
flickering and higher image resolution than traditional
(525i/480i) TV signals. Refer to page 110 for instructions
on selective progressive scan mode.
Region Code
Regions associate discs and players with particular areas
of the world. This unit will only play back discs that have
compatible region codes. You can find the region code
of your unit by looking on the rear panel. Some discs are
compatible with more than one region (or all regions).
Sampling Frequency
The rate which sound is measured by a specified interval
to turn into digital audio data. The numbers of sampling
in one second defines as sampling frequency. The higher
the rate, the better the sound quality.
SAP (secondary audio program)
Sub-audio channel which is delivered separately from
main-audio channel. This audio channel is used as an
alternate in bilingual broadcasting.
S-Video Output
It delivers independently each signal of color(C) and
luminance(Y) to TV as video signals, so that higher-quality
picture will be gained.
Title (DVD only)
A collection of chapters on DVD. See also “Chapter”.
Track
Audio CD use tracks to divide up the content of a
disc. The DVD equivalent is called a chapter. See also
“Chapter”.
Video CD
A digital format for store video data in compact disc.
Windows Media™ Audio
Windows Media™ Audio is the audio compressing
technology developed by Microsoft. You can copy
Windows Media™ Audio files on CD-RW/-R from a
computer and play them back on this unit.

the date of the replacement or repair for ninety (90) days or for
the remaining portion of the original product’s warranty,
whichever provides longer coverage for you. When a product or
part is exchanged, any replacement item becomes your property
and the replaced item becomes Philips’ property. When a refund
is given, your product becomes Philips’ property.
Note: Any product sold and identified as refurbished or
renewed carries a ninety (90) day limited warranty.
Replacement product can only be sent if all warranty
requirements are met. Failure to follow all requirements
can result in delay.
