About the Digital Recorder system
Your Loewe TV set is equipped with a Digital Recorder that includes a hard
disk. You can use this to record and playback picture and sound from TV
programmes, like with a VCR or DVD recorder. However, the possibilities
of the Digital Recorder are for more versatile than those of a VCR or DVD
recorder:
TV viewing with time shift
The Digital Recorder always records the TV programme currently playing (if
the continuous operation is switched on).
• Time shift
You can stop a TV programme at any time and continue playing it
later with a time shift. The maximum time shift may be set to 2 hours.
The recording starts again from the beginning and the old content is
deleted every time you switch stations.
• Fast navigation by jumping
Jump backwards and forwards in the movie at the press of a button.
The jump distance is adjustable.
In addition, the special Loewe function ”Smart jump“ ensures that for
each change in jump direction the jump distance is cut in half. This
way you can feel your way quickly to a certain spot in the time shift
playback.
• Fast forward and rewind
You can fast forward and rewind at three different speeds in the programme you are viewing with time shift.
• Slow motion
You can watch the programme you are viewing with a time shift at four
different slow motion speeds.
• Subsequent archive recording
You can also decide to copy the whole TV programme into the Digital
Recorder‘s archive at the end of a TV programme you have been
watching with a time shift.
• Setting bookmarks
During a football match, for example, you can fl ag goals or exciting
scenes. For this, the time-shift recording is converted into an archive
recording. For later playback, you can play bookmarks as highlights. 30
seconds before and after the set bookmark are played.
• Replay function
For instance, if you see a football match as live picture, you can jump
back 40 seconds at the push of a button and watch the scene again.
You see the live picture at the same time in a PIP picture.
Digital Recorder archive
You can record movies you want to watch later in the Digital Recorder‘s
archive. The archive holds between 20 and 100 hours of movies, depending on the recording quality set.
If EPG or teletext data are available, the Digital Recorder stores the title and
additional information about each programme in the archive.
You start playing your recordings from the archive.
If bookmarks were set, these recordings are fl agged accordingly. You can
then start playback so that the bookmarks are played as highlights.
Select your favourite programme comfortably from the EPG or teletext for
recording and watch the programmes later from the Digital Recorder‘s
archive.
An automatic delete manager always ensures there is suffi cient recording
space for new movies.
• Sort titles
You can have the programmes displayed chronologically or in alphabetical order. This way you can quickly fi nd the movie you want to watch.
• Edit titles
You can change the title of a programme in the archive, if necessary.
• Parental lock
Protect archive recordings from unauthorised access by using the
parental lock.
• Delete protection
Set the delete protection for a movie to prevent it from being deleted
automatically by the Delete Manager.
• Copy
Set the delete protection for a movie to prevent it from being deleted
automatically by the Delete Manager.

About the Digital Recorder system
Archive recording
You can playback a recorded programme from the archive at the same
english
time as recording a TV programme into the archive. You can also play the
same programme you are currently recording with a time shift. During
archive recording, you can also watch another programme.
• Immediate recording
Record interesting programmes straight into the archive with the record
button. You can also transfer programmes you have watched with a
time shift to the archive at the end of the programme without losing
what you have already recorded.
• Timer-controlled
Select your favourite programme comfortably from the EPG or teletext
for recording. The Digital Recorder records up to 50 timer recordings
- even in your absence. Watch the programmes later from the Digital
Recorder‘s archive.
• Serial recording
Use the serial recording tolerance setting to avoid recording a serial
more than once when it is broadcast more than once a day. The serial is
only recorded if it begins within a given time interval (start time + serial
recording tolerance).
• Time shift TV with archive recording
If you have programmed recording and come home later, you can
watch the movie with a time shift while the rest is still being recorded.
.
Archive playback
All the recorded programmes can be selected in the archive and played.
During archive playback, another programme can be recorded into the
archive.
• Fast forward and rewind
Fast forward and rewind the movie at three different speeds.
• Slow motion
Watch the playback at four different slow motion speeds.
• Fast navigation by jumping
Jump backwards and forwards in the movie at the press of a button.
The jump distance is adjustable.
In addition, the special Loewe function ”Smart jump“ ensures that for
each change in jump direction the jump distance is cut in half. This way
you can feel your way quickly to a certain spot of the recording.
• Bookmarks
To fi nd interesting scenes in a movie later, you can manually set bookmarks. In addition, there also are automatically set bookmarks every
time a broadcast is changed. You can jump to each of the bookmarks
at the press of a button in succession.
• Playing highlights
For recordings with manually set bookmarks, you can limit the playback
to the highlights. You then see the scenes 30 seconds before and after
the set bookmarks. If there is more than one bookmark, the highlights
are played one after the other.
• Cut/Hide functions
Cut out superfl uous sections before and after a recorded programme.
Set hiding marks around uninteresting sections to watch a movie without interruptions or to archive it on VCR/DVD-R.
Limitations during PIP operation
If on the main screen you see the live picture and you open the PIP picture,
generally the background recording for time-shift TV is ended and deleted.
With archive recording and time shift TV, there may be limitations on the
stations which you can select for the PIP picture.

Settings for the Digital Recorder
f
You can use the Digital Recorder with the values set at the factory initially.
In this case, please continue reading on page 9.
However, you should change the settings later to adjust the Digital Recorder to meet your own requirements. In the process, you can determine
the recording quality and the recording capacity of the hard disk for
analogue TV signals, you can set the Digital Recorder continuous operation
for viewing with a time shift, the maximum time shift, the jump distance,
Smart jump and the serial recording tolerance.
You can adjust the settings in the Digital Recorder menu, which is a submenu of the DR archive.
Call the archive with the red coloured key. In case of a
TV set with MHEG-5 use the key
for calling the DR
archive.

Switching Digital Recorder continuous operation on/off
Recording takes place on a constant basis with the Digital Recorder continuous operation ”on“. You can then watch TV with a time shift at any time.

mode.
The factory default setting is the ”on“ mode.
Setting recording capacity/quality
For signals from analogue terrestrial/cable stations, set the recording quality
to very high, high, medium or standard. Signals from DVB stations are
recorded directly, and therefore always at high quality. In the list above, you
can see the recording capacity still available for the Digital Recorder (call up
with the INFO button if necessary). Select a higher quality if you intend to
copy the programme to a VCR or DVD recorder.
The factory default setting for the recording quality is ”high“.
