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

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.

The recording process is ended. The material recorded up to now is saved on the hard disk and may be played back via the DR archive. You can also end a running recording by deleting the entry in the timer list. You can ﬁ nd more information on this on page 15.

Recording with DVB subtitles

Switch on the DVB subtitles. To ﬁ nd this setting, go to TV menu - Settings

- Miscellaneous - DVB subtitles. Select DVB subtitles ”for translation” or “for the Hearing Impaired” here. You cannot switch to another station during an archive recording. Subtitles of analogue Teletext cannot be recorded. When playing the recording, the subtitles cannot be hidden or the language selection changed. Note: Leave the DVB subtitles switched off if you usually do not use them or they are not broadcast. Only by doing this will you have the possibility to switch to another station during an archive recording.

Timer recording

As with a VCR, you can make timer recordings with the Digital Recorder. The Digital Recorder is of course much more comfortable to handle. You can programme the timer using the EPG, teletext or manually. You can programme up to 50 timer recordings. If you have programmed timer recordings, the TV set may only be switched off into the stand-by mode. Do not switch the TV set off with the mains switch and do not pull the mains plug from the power outlet. If you do, then the timer recording will not take place. If a timer recording is carried out in the stand-by mode, the orange indicator on the set lights up or both (red and green) indicators light up, depending on your model. For equipment with DR+ display, this also lights up red.

Programmed timers for the Digital Recorder are displayed in the timer list.

The Delete Manager

The Delete Manager always makes sure there is enough memory space on the hard disk for new recordings.. When the capacity of the hard disk is almost exhausted, the old recordings are deleted. Recordings which you have marked with a delete protection are not deleted by the Delete Manager. You can delete these recordings manually. Setting and cancelling delete protection, see page 20. To avoid loss of data, we recommend you to copy important recordings onto video tape or a writable DVD. Delete the recordings from the Digital Recorder after copying. Loewe is not liable for data loss on the Digital Recorder’s hard disk.
