Special features of your DVD recorder
Your DVD recorder provides you with perfect digital video recording
and playback in studio quality.
It also provides superb cinema-quality audio playback – in stereo or
with digital multi-channel sound – depending on the type of disc and
audio system or stereo television.
Other features of DVD video include the choice of audio channel and
language, choice of subtitle language, and various camera recording
angles. Your DVD recorder is suitable for DVDs with regional code 2.
In addition to DVDs it can play MP3 CDs, video CDs, S Video CDs,
JPEG encoded (photo) CDs, KODAK picture CDs, WMA CDs and audio
CDs.
Disc formats
DVD+RWs and DVD+Rs are suitable for recording and playback.
Due to the difference in quality of the recording media and the quality of
the recording itself, it can occasionally happen that some recorded
DVDs or CDs cannot be read. This does not indicate a malfunction on
the part of the DVD recorder.
Recordings you make on DVD+Rs must be finalised.
When MP3 CDs are played back, individual tracks or pictures may be
skipped or incorrectly played back. This can be due to the disc configuration, the encoder software or the hardware used for the recording.
Audio CDs (CDDA) meet the specification and bear the corresponding
logo. Copy-protected CDs do not meet this specification and do not
bear the corresponding logo. These CDs can cause playback errors.

SET-UP AND SAFETY___________________________
Please note the following information when setting up your DVD recorder:
This DVD recorder is designed to record and play back video and audio
signals.
Any other use is expressly prohibited.
If the DVD recorder is subjected to a sudden change in temperature, for
example if it is brought in from the cold to a warm room, connect it to the
mains supply and let it stand for at least two hours before you insert a disc.
The DVD recorder is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it in the
open, please ensure that it is protected from moisture, such as rain or water
splashes.
Place the DVD recorder on a hard, level surface. Do not place any objects
such as newspapers on the DVD recorder, or any cloth or similar items
underneath it.
Do not place the DVD recorder directly on top of an AV receiver or a sub-
woofer. The laser optics are sensitive to temperature and shocks.
Do not place the DVD recorder close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as
this will impair cooling.
Do not insert foreign objects in the disc compartment of the DVD recorder.
Never open the DVD recorder casing under any circumstances. No warran-
ty claims are accepted for damage resulting from improper handling.
Do not place any vessels filled with liquid, such as vases, on the DVD
recorder, as they may spill liquid, thus presenting a safety risk.
Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the DVD
recorder is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the
mains. Always disconnect the mains and antenna plugs during a storm.
If the DVD recorder fails to read a DVD or CD properly, clean the disc with a
soft cloth. Wipe the disc from the centre outwards. Do not use cleaning CDs
to clean the laser optics. This can damage the optics.
Always keep the disc compartment closed to prevent dust from collecting on
the laser optics.
This DVD recorder successfully combines technology and environmental
friendliness in its overall design. Only environmentally-friendly, high-quality
materials have been used. The batteries included contain no mercury or
cadmium.

Connecting a rooftop antenna or cable feed
1 Plug the cable of the rooftop antenna or cable feed into the
antenna socket »ANTENNA IN« on the DVD recorder.
2 Plug the antenna cable supplied into the »ANTENNA OUT
➞
TV« socket on the DVD recorder and the antenna socket on
the television set or flat screen.
Connecting a television or flat screen
You have four options, depending on the sockets you have on your
television or flat screen:
– For the best picture quality, make the connection at the EURO-AV
socket using a fully assigned EURO-AV cable.
– Connection via the cinch sockets Y, Pb/Cb and Pr/Cr (video
signals) and the AUDIO OUT cinch sockets (audio signals).
This connection (Progressive Scan) can also be used for projectors.
– The standard connection for many devices, and one which pro-
vides good quality, is via the S-VIDEO OUT socket and the
AUDIO OUT cinch sockets.
– The simplest option which stills offers sufficient quality is to connect
the VIDEO OUT socket and AUDIO OUT sockets using cinch
cables.
Note:
Connect the DVD recorder directly to the television or flat
screen. If you connect a video recorder in between, the DVD’s
copy protection may impair the picture quality.

CONNECTION AND PREPARATION__
Connecting with a cinch cable (progressive scan)
Caution:
This connection transmits video signals at a high frequency
range. Before you first switch on the device, please check
whether your television, flat screen or projector is suitable for
this use.
GRUNDIG accepts no liability for damage resulting from negligent usage.
Notes:
If you connect the DVD recorder using the »Y«, »Pb/Cb« and
»Pr/Cr« sockets, you can switch to “progressive scan” using
the »I/P« button. You must first set the EURO-AV output to
“YUV”, as described on page 59.
Depending on the model of television, flat screen or projector,
you have to activate the relevant input sockets on the device.
1 Plug a standard cinch cable into the »Y«, »Pb/Cb« and
»Pr/Cr« sockets on the DVD recorder and the corresponding
socket (e.g. VIDEO IN or COMPONENT Y P
B/CB PR/CR
) on the
television, flat screen or projector.
2 Plug standard cinch cables into the »L AUDIO OUT R« sockets
on the DVD recorder and the corresponding sockets (AUDIO
IN) on the television, flat screen or projector.

MP3 CD or WMA CD playback
MP3 CD or WMA CD features
MP3 stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 and arises from the Motion
Picture Expert Group (MPEG) Standard which was developed for
compressing film data.
The MP3 format enables audio files to be saved on a computer with
a sound quality similar to that of a CD. This only requires about
10% of the original data quantity. The standard encoding bit rate
for MP3 files is 128 kbps. Generally, the higher the bit rate of a an
MP3 file, the better the sound quality.
Most MP3 files on the Internet are encoded at 128 or 160 kbps.
160 kbps is considered CD quality.
Your DVD recorder can read the ID3 tag from the file header, which
contains information on the title and artist, and display it in the info
menu.
MP3 CDs contain sound recordings. They can be played in the
normal manner on an audio system. The digital signals transmitted
during MP3 playback are PCM encoded, regardless of the audio
output setting. The signals are output with the same data rate
as the music source (possibilities are: 32 kbps – 320 kbps,
ideally: 128 kbps).
MP3 files can be organised into folders and subfolders, similar to
files on a PC.

the DVD recorder and start recording immediately.
– Delayed recording – by entering data for the TV channel.
With option 2, you can enter the recording date for eight
programmes in a time span of one year, or record programmes
at the same time every week or every day.
This DVD recorder can also record films from external devices
such as a camcorder, connected to the »DV IN« and »L AUDIO
IN R« or »VIDEO IN« and »L AUDIO IN R« sockets.
Suitable discs for recording
You can use DVD+R and DVD+RW discs for recording.
DVD+Rs can only be recorded on once. If you want to play these
discs on a DVD player, you first have to finalise them. Once they
have been finalised, they can no longer be recorded on.
If you want to play them on your DVD recorder, you do not have to
finalise them.
You can add more recordings and delete them as necessary.
Note that any playing time you delete is no longer available for
recording.
DVD+RWs (rewritable) can be recorded on very often (up to a
thousand times) and deleted.
You may have to delete recordings made by others on DVD+RWs
before you can record on them.
Unsuitable discs
– Damaged discs cannot be recorded on.
– Finalised discs cannot be recorded on. This can only be done with
unfinalised discs.
– Full discs cannot be recorded on.
– Very rarely, discs are defective and therefore cannot be recorded
on. Try recording on another disc.
Initialising discs
The DVD+R is automatically initialised before recording, this can
take a few minutes.
Only then is recording possible.

Recording quality and time
You can set the quality of the recording. The table below shows the
relationship between quality and recording time:
Quality Time
HQ – Very high quality 60 minutes on a
4.7 GB blank DVD
SP – High quality 120 minutes on a
4.7 GB blank DVD
SP+ – Good quality 150 minutes on a
4.7 GB blank DVD
LP – S-VHS picture quality 180 minutes on a
4.7 GB blank DVD
EP – Better than VHS picture quality 240 minutes on a
4.7 GB blank DVD
SLP – VHS picture quality 360 minutes on a
4.7 GB blank DVD
SEP – Longest recording time 480 minutes on a
4.7 GB blank DVD
The quality and recording time are interdependent. The better the
quality, the more memory the recording requires. This means that
the recording time is shorter in high quality mode than in standard
quality mode.
Note:
The recording quality (HQ, SP, SP+, LP, EP, SLP or SEP) is
selected automatically during playback.
Recording settings
These settings, such as adding chapter markers, selecting the input
source and the setting the recoding quality, can be made in the
installation menu. The settings are described on page 60.

We wish to point out explicitly that only operating software authorised by GRUNDIG is permissible for

software from a dubious Internet source being loaded to the device will impair functioning and also,
since it is an unauthorised intervention, invalidate any claims under the guarantee.
