It was more the theory I wanted to know, my daughter owns a similar
Philips model (DVDR3300H) and her manual states under a helpful hint
comment 'Use the DV socket to connect to a personal computer.

I am wondering what this would enable her to do, I did try connecting a
hard drive (With some movies on the file system) via firewire to her
Philips device but nothing was recognised.
