Recordings made on your DVD recorder can be controlled from an external satellite receiver.
At the touch of a button, your switched off DVD recorder will check which channel is currently
playing on your television and record it.
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.
Using the virtual surround process, a room with two speakers is simulated. The signal is
processed so that the impression of a room is created. The process used in this DVD recorder
is based on TruSurround technology from SRS Labs.
TruSurround and the SRS symbol are trademarks of SRS Labs., Inc. TruSurround Technology is

This screen provides you with an overview of the inserted 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 commercials or other scenes. The relevant scenes are
marked and skipped as required. This information is stored on the DVD in such a way that
other DVD players will skip the scenes.
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.
These music CDs can be played on this machine.
Normally a recording is made at the current disc position. This is the same as for a video
cassette, in the middle of the tape for example. By holding down the REC/OTR n button, the
recording will be made at the end of all the other recordings to avoid overwriting previous
recordings.
New recordings on a DVD+R disc will always be added at the end of all existing recordings.
Using your DVD recorder you can record from an RGB source such as a satellite receiver using a
SCART input (socket EXT 2 AUX I/O ). Video signals for the colours R(Red), G(Green) and
B(Blue) are transmitted via separate channels. This reduces the interference that occurs with
standard video cables.
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.
