Digital video recorder

Picture in Picture (PIP) lets you view video from a second program at the same time. This is usually in a small window at selected locations within a full-screen display. PIP allows viewing an on-going TV broadcast in a sub-picture while watching another TV program or a recorded program from the hard disk. Additionally, the feature becomes useful for the display of 'multiview' video from some digital program sources.

Pause Live TV puts you in absolute control. Once the recorder is turned on, a large built-in memory automatically starts recording the program you are watching -- allowing you to pause, replay or save the program, anytime. If you need to take a break, you can pause your 'live' TV program with just one touch of a button, and resume watching when it suits you.

Digital 5.1 channel audio recording lets you capture – along with the video – the original sound from digital multi-channel sources such as satellite receivers to store it on DVD. These recordings can then be played back in multi-channel only on your Philips Recorder or in Stereo on any DVD player.
