Your Loewe TV set is equipped with an integrated hard disk recorder (Digital
Recorder). You can use this to record and play TV broadcasts conveniently.
The Digital Recorder can even process HDTV signals including the audio and
english
auxiliary signals they contain.
The wide range of application possibilities of the Digital Recorder are listed
below.
TV viewing with time shift
The Digital Recorder records the TV programme you are currently watching in
the background if DR continuous mode is switched on in the Digital Recorder
menu (factory setting).
• Time shift
You can stop a TV programme at any time and continue playing it later
with a time shift. The maximum time shift is up to 3 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 quickly nd a specic spot in the time shift playback.
• Fast forward and rewind
You can fast forward and rewind at three different speeds in the pro-
gramme you are viewing with time shift (fast rewind not possible with
HDTV).
• Slow motion
You can play a programme which you are watching with a time offset
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. Not possible in devices with activated MHEG-5
software.
• Setting bookmarks
During a football match, for example, you can 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 are watching a football match as a 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.
If EPG or teletext data are available, the Digital Recorder stores the title and
additional information about each programme in the archive.
If additional languages are transmitted in DVB, these are recorded too. Selection of language as in TV mode.
DVB subtitles or teletext subtitles are recorded if the recording of subtitles has
been activated in the Digital Recorder settings. Display language selection
and subtitles as in TV mode. Not possible in devices with activated MHEG-5
software.
Start playback of your recordings from the archive.
If bookmarks were set in a recording, these entries are marked accordingly
(). You can start playback so that the bookmarks are played as highlights
(see page 19).
Comfortably select your favourite programme for recording from the EPG
or teletext and watch the programmes later from the Digital Recorder's
archive.
An automatic Delete Manager always ensures there is sufcient recording
space for new movies (see page 13).
• Sort titles
You can have the programmes displayed chronologically or in alphabetical
order. You can therefore quickly nd the recording you want to watch.
• Rename/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
Copy movies from the archive of the Digital Recorder with an offset to an
external VCR / DVD recorder.

About the Digital Recorder system
Archive recording
You can playback a recorded programme from the archive at the same time
as recording a TV programme into the archive. You can also play the same
programme you are currently recording with a time shift.
• Immediate recording
Record interesting programmes directly into the DR archive with the
REC button. With programmes watched with a time offset (see page
4) the current programme can be transferred to the DR archive. The
programme is recorded from the beginning to the end of the time offset
recording or to the end of the set recording time.
You can have programmes from scrambled stations descrambled already
in DR continuous mode. This saves you having to decode directly recorded scrambled programmes later. An appropriate CA module with
SmartCard must be inserted in the TV set’s CI slot for this.
• Timer-controlled recording
Comfortably select your favourite programme for recording, from the
EPG or teletext (programming via teletext is not possible for MHEG-5
stations). 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
You can conveniently programme serials which run daily, weekly or
from Monday to Friday.
• Time shift viewing with archive recording
If you have programmed recording and come home before it is nished,
you can watch the movie with a time shift while the rest is still being
recorded.
Coded recordings
If a programme has been recorded coded, the decoding process is carried out
automatically the next night in the standby mode. Please note that the TV
set may not be switched off at the mains overnight and that the CA module
with SmartCard must be inserted in the CI slot of the TV set.
If the recording is not decoded fairly soon after decoding, it may not be possible
to decode it at all. The longer the time between recording and decoding, the
greater the probability that the code is no longer valid.
➠ Scrambled hard disk recordings appear in the timer list until they are
descrambled (page 11).
➠ You can also start decoding manually (see page 18).
➠ Your programme provider may not support later (time offset) descrambling.
Please contact your provider if you have any questions.
➠ Selection possibilities in the CA module menu (see operating manual of
the TV set) and performance capability of your CA module depend on the
type of module used and the installed software. Consult the manufacturer
of the module if you have any questions.
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 (fast rewind
not possible with HDTV).
• 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 (see page 6).
In addition, the function "Smart Jump“ ensures that for each change in
jump direction the jump distance is cut in half. This way you can quickly
nd a certain spot of the recording.
• Bookmarks
To nd interesting scenes in a movie later, you can manually set the
bookmarks. In addition, there are also automatically set bookmarks every
time a broadcast is changed. You can jump to each of the bookmarks in
succession at the press of a button.
• Playing highlights
For recordings with manually set bookmarks you can limit the playback
only to the highlights. You then see the scenes 30 seconds before
and after each set bookmark. If there is more than one bookmark the
highlights are played one after the other.
• Cut/Hide functions
Cut out superuous 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.
• Copying your recordings to a video / DVD recorder
Recordings which you wish to watch repeatedly on a long-term basis
should be burnt to a DVD or transferred to a video recorder. The
programme can then be deleted from the archive.
Demonstration video
You will nd a pre-recording in HDTV quality and Dolby Digital sound
quality in the DR archive overview. No demonstration video in devices withNo demonstration video in devices with
activated MHEG-5 software.

The Delete Manager always makes sure there is enough memory space on

When the capacity of the hard disk is almost exhausted the old recordings
are deleted.
Recordings which have been protected with a delete protection are not deleted
by the Delete Manager. You can delete these recordings manually.
Setting and removing the delete protection, see page 21.
In order to prevent the loss of data we recommend that important recordings
are copied to a video cassette or to a writable DVD.
Delete the recordings from the Digital Recorder after copying.
Loewe is not liable for data loss from the Digital Recorder’s hard disk.
