Philips DVDR75 Technical Training Manual Philips Service and Quality/Training One Philips Drive Knoxville, TN 37914-1810 P. O. Box 14810 PH: 865-521-4397 FAX: 865-521-4818 EMAIL: [email protected] Introduction This manual is intended for use by the Service Technician. There are two versions of the DVDR75. The first four digits of the Product Number indicates the version. The Product Number is similar to a Serial Number. It will read VN02 or VN04. The VN04 is the newer of the two. The VN04 uses an updated Digital Board that contains the functionality of the DVIO Board. When there are two versions of a circuit, the title to the section will have one or the other in the title, VN02 or VN04. The first portion of this manual contains a basic description of disc based data playback and recording technologies. Self Diagnostics are included to aid in troubleshooting. Technical Descriptions of the circuitry are followed by a Troubleshooting Section. The DVDR75 is the forth generation in a line of DVD recorders. Recordings can be made from broadcast transmissions, and from other analog or digital sources. The DVDRW format allows the user to record and erase a disc many times. The recorded discs will play on most existing and future DVD players. The DVDR75 has a connection for DV or Digital camcorders via an I-Link or Firewire connection. This connection technically is called an IEEE 1394 connection. This machine records on 4.7Gbyte DVD+R and DVD+RW discs. This machine uses a real-time MPEG2 Variable Bit Rate, VBR, Video encoder. The DVDR75 plays back DVD Video, Video CD, Audio CD, CD-R, and CD-RW discs. Its many features include: Favorite Scene Selection for easy editing, Index Picture Screen for instant overview of contents, Digital Time Base Corrector, Digital Audio output (DTS, AC3, MPEG, PCM), TruSurround for 3D sound, Zoom + Perfect Still. It is Widescreen, 16:9 compatible, and has a Universal Remote Control, 20 disc resume, Disc Lock, and One Touch Recording. Virgin Mode The DVDR75, when first hooked up, needs to get information from the user about what language and what local broadcast system the unit is going to operate with. Use the remote to make those selections. The unit will not operate until this process is completed. If you want the recorder to start up in Virgin mode, unplug the recorder. Plug the recorder in again while holding the STANDBY-ON button. DVD Basics Philips with nine other manufacturers chose a format specification for DVDR and RW on March 16, 2001. This format uses Real Time recording. Its recording is compatible with DVD-Video, and DVD ROM. The data blocks use lossless linking. The physical layout matches very closely to that of a DVD ROM. See Figure 1. It also uses Direct Overwrite when a RW disc is used. Figure 1 ­ DVD ROM Disc 1 Figure 2 ­ CD Laser Operation Laser Technology The DVD and CD share much of their technology.
