Philips 810H Operation & User’s Manual

Mains plug This apparatus is fi tted with an approved 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows: 1 Remove fuse cover and fuse. 2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type. 3 Refi t the fuse cover. If the fi tted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fi tted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp. Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere. How to connect a plug The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L). � As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: – Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black. – Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red. – Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and yellow). Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

recording? You can only record on both DVD±R and DVD±RW discs. They are compatible with DVD-Video players and DVD-ROM drives in computers. What is the capacity of a DVD recordable disc? 4.7GB, or equivalent to 6 CDs. You can store only one hour of recordings on a single disc at the highest quality (HQ - DVD standard) and about 8 hours recordings at the lowest quality (SEP - VHS standard). What is the difference between DVD±R and DVD±RW? DVD±Rs are “recordable” discs and DVD±RWs are “rewritable” discs. With a DVD±R disc, you can record multiple sessions on the same disc, but when the disc is full, you cannot record any more content on the disc. The DVD±RW disc allows you to record over the same disc repeatedly. What is DV? Using DV, also known as i.LINK, you can connect a DV-equipped camcorder to this recorder using a single DV cable for input and output of audio, video, data and control signals. – This recorder is only compatible with DV-format (DVC-SD) camcorders. Digital satellite tuners and Digital VHS video recorders are not compatible. – You cannot connect more than one DV camcorder at any one time to this recorder. – You cannot control this recorder from external equipment connected via the DV IN socket. Can I copy a VHS tape or DVD from an external player? Yes, but only if the VHS tape or DVD is not copy-protected. What are Titles and Chapters? A DVD disc contains Titles and Chapters, which are similar to the Titles and Chapters of a book. A Title is often a complete movie and is broken down into Chapters, or individual scenes from the movies. Title Chapter Title Chapter Chapter Chapter Chapter chapter markers A programme is recorded as a single title, it may consist of one chapter or a few chapters within a title, depending on the recording settings. How do I set up Titles and Chapters? The recorder will automatically create a new Title each time you start a new recording. – For DVD recordings, you can add chapters manually. – For HDD recordings, you can preset chapters to be automatically inserted at 5-minutes intervals. What does “fi nalising” a disc do? Finalising a disc locks the disc so it can no longer be recorded, only required for DVD±Rs. It will then be compatible with virtually any DVD player. To close a disc without fi nalising it, simply stop recording and eject the disc. You will still be able to record on the disc if there is capacity for more recordings. How good is the quality of the recording? There are seven modes of record quality levels to choose from, ranging from “HQ” (1 hour recording at high quality) to “SEP” (8 hours recording at VHS quality) on a recordable DVD. Choose the quality level that best suits your purpose and the length of material. Frequently Asked Questions Hours of Recording that can be stored Record Quality 1 2 2.5 3 4 6 8 34 68 85 102 136 200 270 HQ High Quality SP Standard Play SPP Standard Play Plus LP Long Play EP Extended Play SLP Super Long Play SEP Super Extended Play 160GB HDD DVD±R/ DVD±RW Values are estimates only.
