INTRODUCTION
Taking care of recorder and discs
Handling of discs
- Please hold the disc by gripping the rim or by placing the index finger in
the central hole. Never touch the signal surface, which is shiny. This
applies to both sides of double sided discs.
- Never add labels or adhesive tapes on the discs and do not scratch or
damage the discs.
Cleaning of discs
- Finger prints or stains on the surface of the disc can cause signal miss-
ing. Depending on the degree of stain, the reflected luminosity from the
signal surface may be weakened, resulting in a poorer picture quality.
Therefore, please use a soft cloth and wipe in a radiating manner from
the centre to the outer rims when cleaning the disc.
- If the surface of your disc is very dirty, please wipe the disc with a moist
cloth, finally use a dry soft cloth to remove all the water stains.
- Never use electrostatic prevention products as well as solutions which
contain benzene, thinner or any other vaporizing substances, as they
may damage the disc surface.
Storage of discs
- To prevent discs from getting bent or deformed, they should be vertically
kept in the disc storage case.
- To prevent damages, avoid placing them in a car, which may contact
direct sunlight. Also avoid leaving discs in excessively cold or humid environments.
- For more information refer to the instructions that come with discs.
Discs to avoid
Please only use conventional, fully circular discs in this DVD recorder. It is
not recommended to use warped, cracked, chipped or otherwise damaged
discs in this device.
Disc accessories
Do not use any disc accessory to improve the audio quality, disc protective
solutions or lens cleaner. These products may cause problems.
Cleaning of the DVD recorder
The control panel and the case of the recorder will only require occasional
wiping with a soft cloth. Areas with stubborn stains can be cleaned with a
soft cloth dipped in a neutral detergent. To prevent damaging the recorder,
never use vaporizing solutions.

Operation of remote control
Preparing the remote control
The DVD recorder comes with a remote control. Simply pull out the plastic
tab in the remote control to activate the battery. The plastic tab - which
covers the battery terminals - extends the life of the battery.
Note: Please note that some models may not include this plastic tab.
Replacing the battery
If the remote control only operates when you get closer to the device, it
means that the battery has been used up. Please replace the battery with
a new Lithium battery (CR2025, 3V). To replace the remote control’s battery, the battery holder must be removed. Be sure to take note of the polarity marking on the battery. The " + " side must face the bottom of the remote
(the side without any buttons).
1. Use your thumbnail to slide the clip on the battery holder to the right
side and pull out the battery holder simultaneously in order to remove
the battery compartment.
2. Insert a new battery into the battery holder. Make sure that the positive
side (marked on the battery as “+”) is facing upwards.

Using the remote control
You can use the enclosed wireless remote control to control this device.
When using the remote control, please aim at the device's remote control
sensor, located on the front of the device. A 30 degree angle is recommended for best operation.
Note:
• Objects between the remote control and the sensor window may prevent
proper operation.
• Similar remote controls could interfere with the function of the recorder.
• Make sure not to store the remote control upside down or with any
objects pressing on the buttons - this could drain the battery.
Cautions regarding use of remote control
• Please do not expose the remote control to shock and liquids and do not
place it in areas with high humidity. Do not install or place the remote control under direct sunlight, as the heat may cause deformation of the unit.
• When the remote sensor window is exposed to direct sunlight, it may not
work properly. If so, please operate the remote control closer to the
remote sensor window or change the angle of the lighting or device.
Important notes about the battery
• If the unit is not used for a longer period of time, we recommend you to
remove the battery.
• Please do not use batteries other than specified. Improper use of batter-
ies can result in a leakage of chemicals and/or explosion.
• In case of any leakage of the battery, dispose of the battery right away
and avoid touching the chemical discharge. Make sure to clean the
remote control’s battery compartment before installing a new battery.

CONNECTING THE DVD RECORDER
Connecting the DVD recorder to the TV
For that your DVD recorder can record and play back a TV broadcast, the
necessary cable connections have to be made first. Connect the DVD
recorder directly to the TV. If you connect the DVD recorder through the
video recorder to the TV, there will be the Macrovision copyright protection.
When installing your DVD recorder for the first time, please choose from
the following possibilities:
Connection with SCART cable - Audio and video connection which
enables an optimal picture quality. This connection possibility requires a
SCART cable (not included in your accessory).
Connection with video cable - The most widely used connection. An
audio/video cable for composite video is required (not included in your
accessory).
Connection with S-Video cable - Ahigher quality connection that requires
a special S-Video cable (not included in your accessory) and a S-Video
capable TV.
In detail:
Connection with SCART cable
If your TV has a SCART socket, you can optionally connect your DVD
recorder with the TV over the SCART socket. The advantage is here an
optimal picture quality.
Have the following cables ready:
1. Two aerial cables (not supplied)
2. Power cord (supplied)
3. SCART cable (not supplied)
1 Connect your antenna/cable TV outlet to the “ANTENNA IN” socket at
the back side of your DVD recorder using an aerial cable.
2 Insert one end of a second aerial cable into the “ANTENNA OUT”
socket at the back of your DVD recorder and the other end into the aerial input socket of your TV.

Note:
If your TV is already connected to the antenna/cable TV outlet, remove
the aerial cable plug from your TV and insert it into the “ANTENNA IN”
socket at the back side of your DVD recorder.
CONNECTING THE DVD RECORDER
3 Plug the SCART cable into the SCART socket “EXT1 TO TV”
(SCART-1) at the back of the DVD recorder and into the corresponding
SCART socket of your TV (please refer to the user‘s manual of your
TV).
4 Turn on the TV.
5 Connect the supplied AC power cord to the “AC IN” socket on the
back side of the DVD recorder, then plug into a power outlet.
6 Turn the unit on with the “POWER” button on your remote control or
the “STANDBY/ON” button on the front panel of the DVD recorder.
“HELLO” appears in the display.
7 If the connection was properly made and your TV was automatically
switched to the programme number for the SCART socket, e.g. “EXT”,
“0”, “AV”, the picture shown on the left side appears.
Then, read section “Initial installation” in chapter “Installing your DVD
recorder” (see pages 26-27).
20
Tips:
• If your TV has several SCART sockets, please use the SCART socket that is suitable for the video output and the video input.
• If your TV offers a menu to choose the SCART socket, please select
“VCR” as the connection source of this SCART socket.
Problem:
Your screen is empty:
• Many TVs are switched by the DVD recorder to the programme number for the SCART socket by way of a control signal sent through the
SCART cable. If the TV does not automatically switch to the SCART
socket programme number, manually change to the corresponding
programme number on your TV (please refer to the user’s manual of
your TV).
• Check that the SCART cable is connected from the TV to the “EXT1
TO TV” (SCART-1) socket on the DVD recorder. The socket “EXT2
AUX” (SCART-2) is intended only for additional devices.

Connection with video cable
If your TV has only a single video input jack, typically a yellow-coloured
plug, you will use the composite video output of your DVD recorder for the
video connection. For the audio connection you can use the red and white
stereo audio in connectors of your TV. The brightness and colour signals
are transferred over the same wire.
Have the following cables ready:
1. Two aerial cables (not supplied)
2. Power cord (supplied)
3. Audio/video cable (not supplied; yellow, red and white plug)
1 Connect your antenna/cable TV outlet to the “ANTENNA IN” socket at
the back side of your DVD recorder using an aerial cable.
2 Insert one end of a second aerial cable into the “ANTENNA OUT”
socket at the back of your DVD recorder and the other end into the aerial input socket of your TV.
3 Insert one yellow end of the audio/video cable into the yellow cinch
socket “VIDEO” on the back side of the DVD recorder and the other
end in the (usually yellow) video input socket of the TV (usually labelled
“Video in”, "AV in”. Please refer to the TV's user manual).
4 Insert the red and white end of the audio/video cable into the red and
white cinch socket “AUDIO R/L” on the back side of the DVD recorder
and the other end in the (usually red and white) audio input socket of
the TV (usually labelled “Audio in”, "AV in”. Please refer to the TV's
user manual).
5 Turn on the TV. Then, switch the TV over to the video input socket or
select the relevant channel number. You can find the channel number
information in the user manual of your TV.
6 Connect the supplied AC power cord to the “AC IN” socket on the
back side of the DVD recorder, then plug the other end into a power
outlet.

What is digital multi-channel sound?
Digital multi-channel sound offers you a maximum of sound quality. You
need a multi-channel A/V receiver or amplifier that supports at least one of
the audio formats of the DVD recorder (MPEG 2, Dolby Digital). For the formats that your receiver supports, refer to the manual of the receiver.
A loud distorted noise comes from your loudspeakers:
In this case the receiver is not suitable for the digital audio format of the
DVD recorder. The audio format of the inserted DVD will be shown on the
TV screen when switching to another language by pressing the “AUDIO”
button. Playback with 6 channel digital surround sound is only possible, if
the receiver has a digital multi-channel sound decoder.
