Special functions of your new DVD
Recorder
Your PHILIPSDVD Recorder has special functions that will make day-to-day use of your new
DVD Recorder easier for you.
This connection is also known as 'FireWire' and 'IEEE 1394.' This connection is used for the
transfer of high bandwidth digital signals as used by digital video (DV) camcorders. Its cable is
used to transmit audio and video signals. Along with DV and Hi8 camcorders, some personal
computers with digital video outputs can also be connected to this digital input.
This screen provides an overview of the disc. Each index picture represents a recording. At the
right-hand side of the screen, a disc pointer graphically displays the duration and position on the
disc of the selected recording.
This function can be used to delete commercial interruptions during a film as well as other
scenes. The corresponding scenes are marked, then skipped as desired. This is saved on the
DVD so any DVD player will also skip these scenes. You must make edits compatible.
MP3 files are highly compressed pieces of music. The amount of data of the original audio material
is reduced by 1/10 of the original size using a special process. This enables you to fit up to 10 hours
of music on a single CD.
These music CDs can be played using this Recorder.
As a rule, a recording is made at the current position. This is similar to a video tape, e.g. in the
middle of the tape. By holding down the REC/OTR
n button, the recording will be made at the
end of all other recordings. This helps avoid overwriting previous recordings.
New recordings on a DVD+R disc will always be added after the end of all recordings.
The Philips DVD Recorder can play DVDs and CDs. DVDs made using this DVD Recorder can be
played in most current (and future) DVD players.
