Reducing power consumption
Your HD recorder is designed to reduce its impact on the environment and complies with the
European Directive 2009/125/EC. This is part of Philips’ ongoing commitment to lead the way in
environmental responsibility.
It has a standby mode of operation that needs very little power. See the table below and please note
that:
• When your HD recorder is in the standby mode, you save energy (and therefore money) and
reduce carbon dioxide emissions that damage the environment.
• You use the standby button on your HD recorder or remote control to switch between on and
standby modes. In addition, if your HD recorder is on, but you do not press any button on it or
your remote control for 3 hours (configurable - see ‘Automatic eco mode’ on page 30), your HD
recorder will automatically get into the standby mode.
• If you are not going to use your HD recorder for several days, you can cut its energy consumption
to zero by unplugging it from the mains wall socket.
• In the off and standby modes, your HD recorder cannot receive updates from the network.
However, at recorder wake-up, you will be prompted by a message if an update notification has
been received.
