Using the Remote Control
Unless stated otherwise, the remote control can operate all the features of the DVD Recorder. Always point the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the front of the DVD Recorder, not the TV. See page 24. Make sure there are no barriers between the remote and the Recorder. The remote control also will operate some features of some Philips TVs. See pages 22-23.

DVD Recorder Menus...
Some instructions explain how to use the Recorder�s System Menu or Menu Bars to set up features of the Recorder or the Disc.You get to the System Menu by pressing SYSTEM MENU on the remote control. See page 30. Even if a feature is set up in the Recorder�s menu, it will not be available if the current Disc does not include that feature.
DVD Player Upgrades
If a DVD does not play properly, please contact Philips at 1-800-531-0039 for assistance. Due to the inconsistency of Disc formats provided by various Disc manufacturers, your DVD Recorder may require a playability enhancement. As DVD technology has advanced, these enhancements have become both common and easy to complete.
Available Disc Features...
Features in this manual may not be available on every Disc. If the feature is not available, you cannot use the Recorder to make it available. An �X� will appear in the top left corner of the TV screen if you try to access a feature that is not available on the current Disc.
