Introduction
Welcome to the growing family of owners of PHILIPS
equipment.
Thank you for buying a DVDR 725H/05. The
following pages explain the main features to help you
understand how the DVDR 725H/05 works.
You will find step-by-step descriptions of each
function in the respective chapter of the User
manual.
Convenience of watching
9 Watching DVD discs
9 Time Shift Buffer
Your 'DVDR 725H/05' plays back DVDs, Audio and (S)Video CDs, and
MP3 CDs. You can play back and edit the stored TV shows (or
camcorder recordings), and save (archive) these on DVD+RW,
DVD+R media for later viewing.
As soon as you turn on your DVD recorder, it starts recording from
the current TV channel into the Time Shift Buffer. The DVD recorder
stores all the TV shows you watched since you turned on the
recorder. If information is available from the GUIDE Plus+® system, the
recorder will store the title and mark the beginning of the TV show.
9 Watching TV via HDD
But your 'DVDR 725H/05' is more than just an ordinary DVD recorder
with a built-in hard disk.
From now on, you can use your TV as a monitor and tune to the TV
channels on this DVD recorder, taking advantage of features like
FlexTime, Instant Replay, or the abitity to pause live TV.
The Time Shift Buffer can be best compared to a conveyor belt running
from right to left. A TV show resembles a package on this conveyor
belt. If you change the programme number or the GUIDE Plus+®
system detects the start of a TV show, a new package will be placed on
the conveyor belt. You can adjust the time a package will remain on the
conveyor belt from 1 to 6 hours (the factory setting is 3 hours).
As long as the packages are still on the conveyor belt, you can mark
them or remove the marker. You can only mark the package that's
directly in front of you.
9 Flextime
With FlexTime, you can watch or rewind a TV show while it is being
recorded.
You don't have to wait until the end of the recording before starting
playback see chapter 'Recording on the HDD'.
At the end of the conveyor belt (the preset time has expired), the
recorder will decide whether a package will be stored or destroyed.
Only the packages that are marked will be stored.
If you flush the Time Shift Buffer, the recorder will immediately remove
all packages from the belt, storing only those you marked.
9 Instant replay/skip
You can repeat a scene of a live TV show at the touch of a button, as
often as you like. You can also skip a scene of a live TV show with the
touch of a button.
9 Simultaneous recording and playback
Thanks to the built-in HDD and the high data rates it can achieve, you
can record and play back at the same time.
9 Pause live TV
This enables you to:
You can pause a live TV show by pressing a button, to answer a phone
call, while recording continues. You can resume playback of the show
at the point it was interrupted.
watch, pause, or rewind a TV show while it is being recorded
(FlexTime, Pause live TV)
•
watch a TV show stored on the HDD while another recording is
being made
•
9 Easy navigation
To navigate through the stored content you can choose from various
possibilities.
playback an optical disc (DVD, CD with audio, video, mp3 content,...)
while the HDD records a TV show
•
transfer (archive) a TV show from the HDD to a DVD+RW,
DVD+R while another show is being recorded on the HDD.
•
9 The Disc Manager
This is an integrated database in the DVD recorder that remembers
the recordings on DVD+RW, DVD+R discs made by this DVD
recorder. This gives you a complete overview of your entire video
collection at the touch of a button and an easy access to every
recording.

Introduction
the Media Browser for playback, editing, or transferring (archiving) to a
DVD+RW, DVD+R.
9 Media Browser
The Media Browser provides an overview of all the recordings on the
HDD. You can display a list of all recordings according to certain
criteria (e.g. recording date, protected,...). You can select recordings in
Convenience of programming
Your DVD Recorder is equipped with the GUIDE Plus+® System. The
GUIDE Plus+® System offers a free interactive electronic programme
guide that lists all the TV programmes available in your area.
The guide information is sent together with your TV signal so there's
nothing to load or buy. The service is free!
You can also use the GUIDE Plus+® System to program your DVD
recorder to record your favourite shows.
With the push of a button, you will see a summary of all the TV
programmes currently being shown on the various TV channels. For
the summary, you can either display all shows for a particular start time
or sorted according to category.
Convenience of recording
button and the complete show will be stored on the HDD even if you
switch off the DVD-recorder.
If the HDD fills up with recordings you can switch on the Auto-delete
function, and the oldest recording will be automatically deleted.
Thanks to the built-in 80GB HDD it is possible to store up to 130
hours of recordings directly in the machine. The DVD-Recorder starts
recording the current TV show as soon it is switched on. Everything
you watch through the DVD-recorder is stored in the 'Time Shift
Buffer'.
If you decide to record the show you are watching, press the record
Convenience of editing
Convenience of archiving
The data from the GUIDE Plus+® system is also used to automatically
name the shows. You can edit the name, 'hide' unwanted scenes, divide
titles and change the index picture which identifies the recording.
Each recording on the HDD can be copied (archived) on a DVD+RW,
DVD+R. This will be done at high speed (20 times faster than the time
it took to record), so you will get a disc which contains e.g. a recording
of 5 hours in record mode M4 in about 30 minutes.
During archiving you can still watch TV programmes and record them
in the Time Shift Buffer.
