Special features of your HDD DVD recorder

Your HDD DVD recorder provides you with perfect digital video recording and playback in studio quality.

You can record television programmes on the built-in hard disc of the HDD DVD recorder, a DVD+RW/-RW or DVD+R/-R.

With the time shift function you can watch television programmes with a time shift which are stored in the time shift memory. You can stop these programmes and continue playback at the same point.

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 HDD DVD recorder is suitable for DVDs with regional code 2.

In addition to DVDs the device can also play back DivX

Video CDs, MP3 CDs, video CDs, S-Video CDs, JPEG (photo) CDs, KODAK Picture CDs, WMA CDs and audio CDs.

DivX

, MP3, WMA and JPEG data can be played back from both

CD-ROM and DVD-ROM.

Disc formats

DVD+RW/-RWs and DVD+R/-Rs are suitable for recording and playback. DVD video, DVD+RW/-RW, DVD+R/-R, audio CD, video CD, Super

Video CD, CD-R and CD-RW are all suitable playback formats. 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 HDD DVD recorder.

You must finalise your own recordings on DVD+R/-R so that they can be played on a DVD player.

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 (CD-DA) meet the specification and bear the corresponding logo. Copy-protected CDs do not meet this specification and do not bear the logo. These CDs can cause playback errors.

SET-UP AND SAFETY

________________________________

This HDD DVD recorder is designed to record and play back video and audio signals. Any other use is expressly prohibited.

If the HDD 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 use it.

The HDD 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 HDD DVD recorder on a hard, level surface. Do not place any objects such as newspapers on the HDD DVD recorder, or any cloth or similar items underneath it.

Do not place the HDD DVD recorder directly on top of an AV receiver or a subwoofer. Do not put any other appliances on top of the HDD DVD recorder. The laser optics are sensitive to temperature and shocks.

Do not place the HDD DVD recorder close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as this will impair cooling.

Do not insert objects in the disc compartment of the HDD DVD recorder. Never open the HDD DVD recorder casing under any circumstances. No

warranty claims are accepted for damage caused by incorrect handling. Do not place any vessels filled with liquid, such as vases, on the HDD DVD

recorder, as they may spill liquid, thus presenting a safety risk. Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the HDD 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 HDD 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 of the HDD DVD video recorder closed to prevent dust from collecting on the laser optics.

Please note when deciding where to put the device that furniture surfaces are covered by various types of lacquer and plastic, most of which contain chemical additives. These may cause corrosion to the feet of the device, thus resulting in stains on the surface of the furniture which can be difficult or impossible to remove.

The main functions

Time shift – watching a current television programme with a delay

(from page 30)

When you switch on the HDD DVD recorder, the programme you are currently watching is recorded in the time shift memory. You can choose whether the time shift memory has space for approx. one hour, three hours or six hours of recording. The default setting is six hours. After this time the oldest recording is deleted and the new scenes are recorded.

Disc playback (from page 34)

You can play back DVDs as well as DivX

Video CDs, MP3 CDs, video CDs, S-Video CDs, JPEG (photo) CDs, KODAK Picture CDs, WMA CDs and audio CDs. DivX©, MP3, WMA and JPEG data can be played back from both CD-ROM and DVD-ROM.

HDD archive playback (from page 47)

Manually started recordings or timer recordings which are stored on the hard disc can be played back. We recommend making a back-up copy of programmes that you wish to keep permanently on DVD+RW/-RW or DVD+R/-R.

Recording on discs (from page 58)

DVD+RW/-RWs and DVD+R/-Rs are suitable for recording. Due to the difference in quality of the recording media and the

quality of the recording itself, it can occasionally happen that a recorded DVD cannot be read. This does not indicate a malfunction on the part of the HDD DVD recorder.

You must finalise your own recordings on DVD+R/-R so that they can be played on a DVD player.

Recording on the HDD archive (from page 62)

Select the television channel or an external input source and start recording. The television programme is stored in the HDD archive.

The file browser (from page 82)

The file browser shows you the different types of data (JPEG, MP3, WMA, DivX

) in an overview.

The main functions of the file browser are: – Playing back files – Copying files from USB to the HDD folder on the HDD DVD

recorder

– Copying files from a disc to the HDD folder on the HDD DVD

recorder

– Copying files from USB onto a disc.

CONNECTION AND PREPARATION

_________

Connecting a television

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 (SCART) cable.

– The simplest option which still offers sufficient quality is to connect

the VIDEO OUT socket and AUDIO OUT sockets using cinch cables.

– 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.

– Connection via the cinch sockets Y, Pb/Cb and Pr/Cr (video sig-

nals) and the AUDIO OUT cinch sockets (audio signals). This connection (progressive scan) can also be used for projectors.

Connect the HDD DVD recorder directly to the television. If you connect a video recorder in between, the HDD DVD recorder’s copy protection may impair the picture quality.

Connecting a television using a EURO-AV (SCART) cable
