Product Highlights

RGB Component Video Input
RGB Component Video is the inter-connection standard 
for analog video with the highest quality -- sharper than 
S-video and composite video.
Philips DVD recorders can record directly from RGB 
sources such as satellite receivers.

8 hours recording
The 8-hour record mode available on specific DVD 
recorder models lets you record up to eight hours of 
video on one single-sided DVD+RW/+R disc.

2-Channel Dolby Digital™ Recording
Dolby Digital™ is an advanced digital audio encoding 
technology that is used on all DVD-Video discs. Philips 
DVD Recorders store audio in the same format, so it 
is fully compatible with any DVD player. The quality 
surpasses that of analog video recorder.

Two-Way Compatibility
DVD Recorders can play regular DVD-Video discs, but 
equally important is that DVD+R and DVD+RW discs 
recorded on them can be played on existing DVD-Video 
players.

MP3-CD Playback
MP3 stands for “MPEG 1 Audio layer-3”.
MP3 is a revolutionary compression technology by 
which large digital music files can be made up to 
10 times smaller without radically degrading their 
audio quality. MP3 has become the standard audio 
compression format used on the world wide web, 
allowing quick and easy audio file transfer
