1 Safety recommendations
Use of the recorder is subject to safety measures designed to protect
users and their environment.
Where to put your recorder?
In order to guarantee the correct operation of your recorder, you
must:
•place it indoors to protect it from lightning, rain, and direct
sunlight,
•place it in a dry and well ventilated area,
•keep it away from heat sources such as radiators, candles, lamps,
etc.
•protect it from dampness, place it on a flat surface from where it
will not fall and is out of the reach of children,
•avoid violent shocks. Choose a stable, horizontal surface on
which the recorder will not be exposed to intense vibrations.
•do not place anything on top of your recorder (as it would
restrict ventilation): the ventilation slots located on the casing
prevent your recorder from overheating. If you place the
recorder in a compartment or other closed space, leave a space
of at least 10 cm on each side and 20 cm on the front and back
of the recorder,
•connect it directly to the mains with the provided cords, the
socket must be near the recorder and easy to access. The use of
an extension cable (with multi-points) is not recommended.
Warnings and safety instructions
NEVER OPEN THE RECORDER OR THE POWER SUPPLY UNIT!
YOU RISK GETTING AN ELECTRIC SHOCK.
•Use only the power supply unit supplied with the
recorder to connect it to the mains. Other practice
may be dangerous.
•As a precaution, in case of danger, the power supply
unit acts as a disconnecting mechanism for the 230V
power supply. That is why it is imperative that you
connect the recorder to a power outlet located
nearby and easily accessible.
•Connect the recorder to the mains in accordance with the
indications mentioned on the identification label affixed on the
recorder (voltage, current, frequency of electricity network).
•The identification label is located under the recorder or on the
rear panel.
•You must imperatively connect the power supply unit to the
recorder before connecting the power supply unit to the power
socket. Ensure the power cord is correctly connected to the
mains power socket and to the recorder. Otherwise, there is a
risk of fire and you risk getting an electric shock when touching
the recorder.
•You must imperatively use the recorder in an environment that
complies with the following requirements:
•temperature: between 0°C [32°F] and 40°C [104°F].
•ambient humidity: between 20%and 90%.
•altitude: below 2000 m [6562 ft].
•To avoid short-circuits (fire or electrocution hazard), do not
expose your recorder to dampness. Do not place any object
containing liquid (vase for example) on the appliance.
The recorder must not be splashed with liquid. If liquid is spilled
onto the recorder, unplug it immediately from the mains and
consult your supplier.
•Take care not to allow liquids or metal objects to enter the
recorder through the ventilation slots.
•Avoid reconnecting the recorder after it has been subjected to
large changes in temperature.
•The recorder must be disconnected from mains supply (from the
power outlet or rear panel) before any modification of
connection between TV, VCR or antenna.
•In the event of a storm, it is advisable to unplug the antenna.
Even if the recorder and the television set are disconnected from
the power supply, lightning can still damage them.
•If you hear unusual noise coming from the mains power socket
or from the power cord or adapter, disconnect immediately the
power cord from the mains power socket in accordance with all
the precautions of use, you risk getting an electric shock, and
contact your retailer.
•Never connect the recorder to a mains power socket which is
loose, shows signs of wear or damage, you risk getting an electric
shock.
•Never touch the power cord with wet hands. You risk getting an
electric shock.
•When connecting or disconnecting the power cord, always take
hold of the plug without pulling on the cord. A damaged cord
presents a potential risk of fire or electric shock. Never pull the
power cord when disconnecting from the mains power socket.
•Never place objects on the power cord, and never pull on it or
fold it. This may cause a risk of fire or electric shock. Ensure that
the recorder never lies on the power cord or any other cables.
•Never place objects on the power adapter, never step on it or
roll over it with a rolling device. You risk damaging the power
adapter and creating a risk of fire or electric shock.
•Ensure the recorder is placed on a flat and stable surface, placing
it incorrectly may lead to the power cord being disconnected.
This may cause a risk of fire or electric shock.

•Always connect the power adapter cord to the recorder first,
then connect the power cord to the power adapter, and finally
connect the power cord to the mains power socket. By not
observing the order indicated, you risk getting an electric shock.
•Ensure the power cord is correctly connected to the power
adapter, and that it is firmly inserted in its slot. It is important that
you push the connector into its slot. There is a risk of fire or
electric shock in case of incorrect connection.
•Always keep the power cord and power supply unit out of the
reach of children or domestic animals.
•Only personnel approved by the manufacturer can repair the
recorder. Failure to comply with these safety precautions will
invalidate the guarantee.
•Have a specialised installer perform all connections if you want to
use cables that are not provided with the recorder.
Batteries
Batteries are easily swallowed by young children. Do not allow young
children to play with the remote control.
Always keep batteries away from excessive heat sources such as
direct sunlight, fire or similar sources.
To avoid damaging the remote control, only use identical batteries or
batteries of an equivalent type. The batteries provided are not
rechargeable.
Interference
Do not place the recorder near appliances that may cause
electromagnetic interferences (for example, loudspeakers, modems,
routers or cordless phones). This could affect recorder operation and
distort the picture or sound.
Hard disk
This unit contains a hard disk drive. Please wait for the unit to go into
standby mode before unplugging and moving it.
Never cut off the electrical supply while the disk is reading or writing,
you may lose data and/or damage the hard disk.
USB Storage devices
Please wait until the recorder or the multimedia file application exits
the multimedia list manager (multimedia file application) or is in
standby mode before disconnecting your storage devices. Otherwise,
you risk losing data or damage your storage device.
When connecting a USB peripheral device, respect the way of
insertion and never use force. You may damage your peripheral
device and/or the appliance.
Cleaning the recorder
The outer casing of the recorder can be cleaned with a soft and dry
cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or
solvents, such as alcohol or turpentine, as they could damage the
surface of the recorder.

3 Connecting your devices
Before installing your recorder:
•Please check that the delivery is complete (see What‘s in the
box, page 6).
•Please ensure that the appliances to be connected together
(recorder, TV set, VCR/DVD…) are unplugged before making
any connections.
•Please ensure that Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) is available
in your area.
Connection to the terrestrial antenna
Very often to get the best reception, you may simply need to adjust
your antenna. Alternatively, you can connect an indoor antenna to
your system. For more information, please contact your specialised
distributor.
Standard outdoor antenna
Preferably use an outside roof antenna that is designed to receive
UHF channels (21 to 69). However:
•if your building is equipped with an old antenna model, digital
channels may be difficult or even impossible to receive. The
problem can only be resolved by changing the antenna.
•if your building is equipped with a common antenna which
contains selective filters devised for analogue channels, reception
will most probably not work correctly. In this case, you will have
to contact the administrator of the building.
•some antennas directed towards an analogue TV transmitter
must be re-adjusted towards a digital TV transmitter. If you
encounter reception problems, you can also try placing the
antenna at different heights.
Indoor antenna
In ideal reception conditions, this type of antenna is sufficient. Here,
however, are some useful tips:
•use an antenna designed to receive channels 21 to 69.
•install the antenna close to the window and direct it towards the
digital TV transmitter.
•if possible, use an antenna with an amplifier. The recorder can
provide remote power supply to your indoor antenna (see
Setting the power parameters, page 29).
Connection to the antenna
1Plug the antenna cable (not supplied) into the ANTENNA
IN input connector on your recorder.
2You can connect the RF output connector of your recorder to
the antenna input of the television set or VCR/DVD recorder
(cable not supplied).
Connection to the TV set
Connection to a High-Definition television set using an
HDMI lead
1To take advantage of High Definition picture quality, you must
connect the HDMI connector of your recorder to the HDMI
connector on your television set (cable supplied).
2To connect other devices to the recorder (VCR/DVD, Home
cinema...), refer to the following sections.
3Connect the power adapter to the power cable. Then, connect
the power cable into the 12 V connector on the recorder.
4Plug the power cord into the wall socket.
Connection to a Standard-Definition television set
1You must connect the television set to your recorder using a
SCART connector (not supplied).
2To connect other devices to the recorder (Home cinema...),
refer to the following sections.
3Connect the power adapter to the power cable. Then, connect
the power cable into the 12V connector on the recorder.

Connection to a VCR/DVD recorder
See the diagram below to connect your recorder to a VCR/DVD
recorder.
Connection to a Home cinema system
Some programmes are broadcast with a high quality multichannel
digital sound. The connection of your recorder to a Home cinema
system will give you a cinematic surround sound experience when
watching these programmes.
This can easily be done by connecting with a coaxial cable (not
supplied) the DIGITAL AUDIO output of your recorder to the digital
audio coaxial input of your Home cinema amplifier
Dolby® Digital Plus is one of the latest innovations of Dolby
Laboratories in high quality digital audio. Compatible with Dolby
Digital systems, it addresses the expectations of most demanding
viewers, and is scalable to the diverse world of content delivery, such
as, for instance, High Definition TV broadcast.
Connection to a hi-fi unit
To make the most of the quality sound and listen to radio channels
with the TV turned off, just connect the right and left audio outputs
of the recorder to the auxiliary input of your hi-fi system (cable not
supplied).
Connection to your Ethernet network
To fully benefit from interactive services directly from your recorder,
you must connect your recorder to the Internet through your
broadband router.
1Connect one end of a RJ45 Ethernet cable (not supplied) to
the ETHERNET port of your recorder.
2Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a free Ethernet
port on your broadband router.
Note
• When you connect VCR/DVR recorder to the scart
connector, select Recorder mode in the Scart Output field
of the video settings (see section Picture settings, page 29).

Recording programmes from the TV Guide
The advantage of recording from the TV Guide is that you can
record specific programmes instead of choosing channel time slots.
You can only do this if the programme information is provided by the
channel broadcaster.
Recording modes: Timer or Programme
The recorder can handle two programme recording modes using the
TV Guide:
•recording at a fixed time (Timer mode)
•recording by event (Programme mode).
Timer mode
By programming a recording using the TV Guide, the recorder
memorises the channel, the date and the announced start and end
time of the programme to record.
The recorder then records the specified channel at the day and time
specified.
To avoid possible shifts between the announced schedules and the
actual schedules of broadcast, you can specify safety margins in your
User Preferences. The recorder will then begin and stop recording
from1 to 15 minutes before and after the announced time.
Programme mode
By programming a recording using the TV Guide, the recorder
memorises information of the programme to record, provided by the
broadcaster: name, summary, date, channel and time of broadcast.
As the beginning of recording approaches (10 minutes before the
announced time), the recorder monitors the channel and awaits the
broadcast signal marking the beginning of the programme. The
recorder begins recording only when the programme starts.
When the signal marking the end of the programme is received, the
recorder stops recording.
You can customise in your User Preferences the recording mode to
be applied by default and the safety margins to be applied in the
Timer mode (see Setting your User preferences, page 28).
Recording programmes using the TV Guide
1Press the key or select > Scheduled > TV
Guide.
2Select the channel and programme you want to record.
3Press the [Record] key to schedule the recording of the
selected programme.
The recording icon appears in the programme cell.
4Repeat the operation for all the programmes you want to
record.
•If a recording is conflicting with another recording
(scheduled at the same time), the recorder will ask you to
resolve the schedule conflict.
•If the programme you want to record is part of a series
(symbolised by a multipage icon above the programme
start time), the recorder will ask if you want to record the
single episode or all future episodes of that series.
•If the programme you want to record is also broadcast in
HD, you will have the choice to record in SD or HD.
•If the broadcast information includes a recommendation
for a similar programme, you will also be able to choose to
record the recommended programme.
5To cancel the recording of a programme move the cursor to
the cell then press the [Record] key.
Note
• Editing a recording scheduled from the TV Guide, page 14 is
possible, but by doing so, you will lose all automatic
information update (automatic reschedule, series recording,
etc.). We recommend that you delete instead the event in the
Recording Timer, page 14 list and reschedule the recording
from the TV Guide, page 14.
Note
• If you manually edit a recording that has been scheduled from
the TV Guide, you will lose all automatic information update
made available by the EPG (automatic reschedule, series
recording, etc.).

10 Environment
Preservation of the environment is an essential concern of Philips.
The desire of Philips is to operate systems observing the
environment and consequently it has decided to integrate
environmental performances in the life cycle of its products, from
manufacturing to commissioning, use and elimination.
Meaning of logos present on the product
or its packaging
European regulations require packaging to be recycled. It
must not be discarded with unsorted waste. There are local
arrangements for sorting and recycling this waste.
The looped arrow sign means that the packaging may be
recycled and must not be disposed of with household
waste.
The logo with three arrows shown on the plastic parts
means that they may be recycled and that they must not be
disposed of with household waste.
The crossed-out dustbin sign stuck on the product or its
accessories means that at the end of its life, the product is
subject to selective collection and must not be thrown away
in unsorted household waste.
Product recycling and disposal
To facilitate recycling, please respect the sorting rules set up locally
for this kind of waste.
If your product contains batteries, they must be disposed of at
appropriate collection points.
European regulations ask you to dispose of products belonging
to the family of electrical and electronic equipments selectively:
•At the collection points made available to you locally (drop-off
centre, selective collection, etc.),
•At sales points in the event of the purchase of similar equipment.
In this way you can participate in the re-use and upgrading of
Electrical and Electronic Equipment Waste, which can have an effect
on the environment and human health.
European Directive on Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
In the context of sustainable development, the reduction of wastes
to be eliminated by reusing, recycling, composting and energy
recovery is strongly advised.
In order to comply with this directive which is applicable to EEEs sold
after 13/08/2005, your recorder will be taken back free of charge and
recycled by the distributor of the EEE within the limits of the quantity
and types of equipment bought from them. These appliances which
contain substances potentially dangerous to human health and the
environment will be recycled.
Directive on the Restriction of use of
certain hazardous substances in electronic
equipment (RoHS)
Your recorder along with the batteries supplied comply with the
directive relating to the RoHS – dangerous materials such as lead,
mercury or cadmium are not used. This avoids environmental
hazards and any risks to the health of personnel at the recycling
centres. The batteries of the remote control can be removed simply.
Note: When the batteries of the remote control are worn out,
please dispose of them at a collection point and not with household
waste.
Electrical consumption of the recorder
To reduce the consumption of your recorder, you are recommended
to place it in standby mode when not in use. We recommend that
you turn off the recorder or unplug it from the mains if you will not
be using it for a prolonged period of time.

software version for your product. A clear demonstration video will
show you how to easily update your recorder using the USB port.
If a problem is encountered during the download, the recorder
displays on its front panel an error code.
For any other error messages, contact our customer services team
on 08450 900 315.
