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.
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.

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.
Dolby Laboratories standard for transmitting 5.1 channels. Five full-value channels are transmitted
in this acoustic playback system. A further channel is used for low frequencies (effects). 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 DVD+RW is recorded in 2-channel Dolby Digital.
