Set up

Place the recorder on a ﬁrm, level base.

•

Do not place the recorder in the vicinity of sources of intense heat or in direct

•

sunlight. When installing in a cabinet or enclosed shelf: Leave at least 2.5 cm free around

•

the recorder to allow unhindered circulation of air and avoid build-up of heat. Do not cover up fan and openings on the rear. There can be interference to the images and sound of any nearby television,

•

video recorder or radio. If this is the case, do not position the unit in the direct vicinity of a TV set, video recorder or radio, or switch the unit off after removing the disk. Position the recorder so that the infrared signal of the remote control can

•

reach the display of the recorder unobstructed (or if this is not possible, see “Advantages of connection to a Loewe TV set”, page 11). Do not place strong artificial light sources in front of the device. This may affect

•

infrared reception. Incorrect voltages can damage the device. This device may only be connected

•

to a power supply with the voltage and frequency specified on the rating plate, using the power cable provided. If there is an electrical storm, disconnect the antenna and mains plug. Power

•

surges caused by lightning strikes can damage the unit through the antenna system or the mains. The antenna and mains should also be disconnected if the unit is to remain

•

unsupervised for a long period of time. The mains plug must be easily accessible so that the unit can be disconnected

•

at any time. Lay the cable in such a way that it cannot get damaged. The power cable should

•

not be kinked or laid over sharp edges, not stood upon or exposed to chemicals

- the latter also applies to the device as a whole. A mains cable with damaged insulation can cause electric shocks and is a fire hazard. Do not tug the cable when you remove the mains plug but hold the plug by the

•

housing. The wires in the mains plug may be damaged and cause a short-circuit when you plug it back in.

You should also read and follow the safety advice on the following pages.

Welcome

Shipping the Unit

The original shipping box and packaging materials should be used to ship the unit. To give the unit the best possible protection, repack it as it was originally packed by the manufacturer.

Disposal

Cardboard box and packaging

In line with national regulations regarding the disposal of packaging materials, we pay a fee to authorised recyclers who collect packaging from dealers. However, we recommend that you keep the original cardboard box and the rest of the packaging materials so that the unit can, if necessary, be transported in the safest possible conditions.

The unit

Important: The EU Directive 2002/96/EG governs the proper re-acceptance, handling and recycling of used electronic appliances. Old electronic appliances must therefore be disposed of separately. Never throw this set in the normal domestic waste.

You can hand in your old set free of charge at identiﬁed collection

points or at your dealer if you buy a similar new set. Other details about re-acceptance (also for non-EU countries) are available from your local administration.

Remote control batteries

The batteries provided contain no harmful materials such as cadmium, lead or mercury. Regulations concerning used batteries mean that batteries may no longer be thrown out with the household rubbish. You can dispose of used batteries free of charge at the collection points in commercial outlets. Your dealer will also have a collection point for used batteries.

Advantages of connection to a Loewe TV set

With Digital Link you can install the recorder for example in a closed rack or a cupboard without direct visual contact with the recorder. With the DVD remote control, you operate the recorder via the Loewe TV set. Digital Link must be switched on on the recorder (page 20). If you use the HDMI connection, the TV set is automatically switched over to this input if your TV set supports this function. If you want to make timer recordings from the TV satellite tuner, Digital Link Plus controls the recording. With Digital Link Plus the station data of the aerial and cable stations of the TV set are transferred to the recorder so that the same stations are saved in the same order in both devices. This enables timer recordings of aerial and cable stations to be made comfortably on the TV set with the EPG (Electronic Program Guide). The timer data are transferred to the recorder which then makes the timer recording independently of the TV set. For timer data for satellite stations, the TV set starts and stops the recorder and sets it to the Euro AV 1 input. When play is started, this is shown immediately on the TV set regardless of which TV station you are currently watching (if the TV is switched off, it will be switched back on automatically first).

For your safety

For your own safety and to avoid unnecessary damage to your unit, please read and follow the safety advice below:

Use for the intended purpose and ambient conditions

This recorder is intended exclusively for the reception, recording and playing of video and audio signals and is designed for the home and office and may not be operated in rooms with a high humidity (e.g. bathroom, sauna) or high concentra- tion of dust (e.g. workshops).

The terms of the warranty only cover normal use of the recorder.

If the device is used outdoors, make sure that it is protected against moisture (rain, drips and splashes or dew). High humidity and dust concentrations lead to leak currents in the device which may lead to electric shocks or fires.

If you have moved the device out of the cold into a warm environment, leave it switched off for about an hour to avoid formation of condensation.

Always switch off your system (Viewvision, TV set and any other audio components which may be connected) before connecting or disconnecting other devices or loudspeakers.

Do not open up the housing, or you could be directly exposed to the laser beam. The laser beam will be visible if the unit is open.

DO NOT LOOK INTO THE LASER BEAM.

PLEASE NOTE: TO AVOID RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER (OR THE REAR OF THE UNIT). THERE ARE NO PARTS INSIDE THE UNIT THAT CAN BE REPAIRED BY THE USER. REPAIRS SHOULD ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY A LOEWE DEALER.

Only use original accessories such as Loewe installation systems if possible.

Cleaning

Only clean your recorder with a slightly damp, soft, clean cloth (without any aggressive cleaning agents). If the recorder does not read a disk correctly, the reading unit in the device may be soiled. Use a commercially available cleaning disk. Keep the disk drawer closed to prevent dust from the drawer getting onto the lens.

DVD-RW (Digital Versatile Disc - ReWritable)

DVD-RW discs can be formatted for recording in the VR mode or in the video mode. These discs can be rewritten several times. Recordings can be deleted and the disc can then be rewritten.

VR mode Recordings can be extensively edited.

They can only be played on VR mode compatible players (after finalisation).

Video mode Limited editing possible.

Play on normal DVD players (after finalisation).

DVD-R (Digital Versatile Disc - Recordable)

These discs can be recorded once. A DVD-R disc cannot be rewritten or edited after finalisation. DVD-R discs can only be formatted for recording in video mode. Play on normal DVD players (after finalisation). Limited editing possible.

DVD+RW (Digital Versatile Disc + ReWritable)

These discs can be rewritten several times. Recordings can be deleted and the disc can then be rewritten. Play only on DVD+RWcompatible players (automatic finalisation). Edited contents can only be played after finalisation on DVD+RW-compatible players. Titles/chapters of recordings can be edited.

DVD+R (Digital Versatile Disc + Recordable)

These discs can be recorded once. A DVD+R disc cannot be rewritten or edited after finalisation. Play only on DVD+R-compatible players (after finalisation). Edited contents can only be played after finalisation on DVD+R-compatible players. Title/chapters can be edited conditionally.

➠ This recorder cannot write to CD-R or CD-RW discs.

➠ This recorder cannot write data discs (e.g. no MP3 or JPEG files).

➠ The displayed recording time is not exact because the recorder uses a vari-

able bit rate video compression. This means that the exact recording time depends on the contents being recorded.

➠ When recording a television broadcast the remaining recording time may be

shorter if the reception is poor or the picture contains interference.

➠ If you record only still pictures or audio, the recording time may be longer.

➠ The displayed recording time and remaining time may not always add up to

the total length of the disc.

➠The available recording time may be shorter following intensive editing of the

disc.

➠ If you use a DVD-R disc you can continue recording until the disc is full or

until you finalize it. Before you start recording check how much recording time is available on the disc.

➠ If you use a DVD-RW disc in video mode, the available recording time is

extended again when you delete the last title recorded on the disc.

➠ The Delete Parts function (page 54) only hides the title but does not delete

it from the disc and does not extend the recording time (except for the last recorded title on a DVD-RW disc in video mode).

➠ Overwrite recording is only possible on DVD+RW discs (page 58).

Essential Information

Recording TV-Audio Channels

This recorder can also record NICAM audio. If the NICAM setting (page 27) is set to “Auto“, NICAM audio will be recorded in the case of a NICAM transmission.

Restrictions on Video Recording

You cannot record movie material with copy protection with this recorder. If

•

a copy protection is encountered during recording, the recording stops or is interrupted automatically and a message is displayed on the screen. A video that can only be copied once can only be recorded using a DVD-RW

•

disc in VR mode with CPRM (see below). NTSC format signals from analog or DV inputs cannot be recorded correctly

•

with this recorder. SECAM format video signals (from an integrated TV tuner or from analog

•

inputs) are recorded in PAL format.

CPRM

CPRM is a copy protection system (with scramble system) that only allows the recording of “copy once“ broadcasts. CPRM is the abbreviation for “Content Protection for Recordable Media”. This recorder is CPRM compatible. You can therefore record copy-once broadcasts but cannot make copies of these recordings. CPRM recordings are only possible with VR mode formatted DVD-RW discs and can only be played on players with CPRM compatibility.

The recording equipment should only be used for lawful copying. You should

• find out what constitutes lawful copying in the country in which you are making a copy. Copying of copyrighted material e.g. films or music is only lawful if permitted by a legal exception or consented to by the rights owner. The product contains copyright protection technology through certain US pat-

• ents and other intellectual property rights and is the property of the Macrovision Corporation and other companies. Use of this protection technology must be authorized by the Macrovision Corporation. It is only intended for private or other limited use unless otherwise authorized by the Macrovision Corporation. Reverse engineering and disassembly are prohibited.

This recorder is equipped with an analog receiver (tuner) which can receive a maximum of 88 channels.

➠ When using Digital Link Plus, the channel setting is adapted to the TV set

(on this page).

➠ Connect the recorder to the aerial system (page 16).

Call menu.

5 6 Select General symbol. 4 Call second level. 5 6 Select Auto Programming. 4Mark country option. 5 6 Select Country. 4Mark Start.

Start channel search. The tuner runs through all the available channels automatically

and transfers the found stations to the tuner memory.

Please make all station changes only on the TV set if your TV set is equipped with Digital Link Plus or a comparable system of another make. If your TV set to which you have connected the recorder does not have Digital Link Plus or a comparable system, you should match up the stations lists of the recorder and the TV set. This makes it easier for you to find the channels on the TV set and the recorder.

➠ Connect the recorder to the TV set with Digital Link Plus with a SCART con-

nection (page 17).

➠ If the recorder has taken over the stations from a Loewe TV via Digital Link

Plus (DLP), the functions Program Edit, Move and Delete are locked and cannot be used again until the channels have been overwritten again by automatic programming.

Digital Link Plus

If you have connected the recorder to a Loewe TV set with Digital Link Plus or a comparable system of another make (e.g. EasyLink, Mega Logic, Project 50), the station list will be transferred from the TV to the recorder. This happens when you log in the recorder to the TV set or when you change the stations on the TV set (resort, delete, add others). After such a change, the TV will prompt you to start transfer of the changed station list. The recorder detects a connected TV set with Digital Link Plus or the comparable system of a different make and sets the recorder accordingly. Then you can no longer search for, delete or sort TV stations on the recorder. The menu items are displayed in grey, in the automatic search it is only possible to transfer the station data from the TV set. Please note that all stations which you receive via aerial or cable have to be stored at channel slots 1 to 88 in the TV set. If the TV set does not prompt you to transfer the station data, start the transmission on the recorder.

Start transfer of the station list from the TV to the recorder.

This may last a few seconds. The display on the recorder shows DLP during the transfer.

standard with Digital Link Plus if you select France as the country (see above) first.

Audio Menu

Each DVD disc offers a variety of audio formats. Set the audio format for the recorder according to the type of audio system you are using.

Dolby Digital / DTS / MPEG

PCM Select this option if the unit is connected to a digital two

channel stereo amplifier. The DVD recorder‘s digital audio outputs emit sound in PCM 2 channel format if you play a

DVD-Video disc with Dolby Digital audio format.

Bitstream Select “Bitstream“ if you have a Dolby Digital decoder (or

amplifier, a Loewe TV with AC3 or DIS module or another unit with Dolby Digital decoder) connected to the DIGITAL AUDIO socket of the DVD recorder.

OFF If you select “Off“ the DTS signal is not emitted from the

DIGITAL AUDIO socket.

Sampling Frequency

If your receiver or amplifier is NOT designed for 96 kHz signals, select 48 kHz. If you have made this selection, the unit automatically converts the 96 kHz signals to 48 kHz signals that the system can decode. If your receiver or amplifier is designed for 96 kHz signals, select 96 kHz.

Night Mode

Thanks to digital audio technology the DVD format enables you to hear soundtracks in the most accurate and realistic way possible. However, you may wish to limit the dynamics (i.e. the difference between the loudest and the quietest sounds). In this way you can play a film with minimum volume differences. For this purpose switch DRC to ON.

Karaoke Audio

Switch the singing option (Vocal) on, if you want to play a multi-channel karaoke DVD. The karaoke channels on the disc are mixed into normal stereo sound.

Lock Menu

Films on DVD can contain scenes that are not suitable for children. For this reason discs can contain child protection information that applies to the whole disc or only to certain scenes on the disc. The ratings are country-dependent. The child lock function enables you to prevent your children watching certain discs or scenes.

HDMI mode

HDMI (DVI) connection

The HDMI connection (High Definiton Multimedia Interface) allows digital picture and sound transmission via a connecting cable, e.g. to Loewe Flat TV sets. The digital picture and sound data are transmitted without data compression and therefore lose none of their quality. In the equipment connected, no analogue/digital conversion is necessary, which might also have lead to losses in quality. DVI signals can be also be reproduced by the HDMI connection using a DVI/HDMI adapter cable. This is possible because HDMI is based on DVI and is downwardly compatible. That means that the digital video signals are transmitted via HDMI

- no audio signals are transmitted, though. In addition, both use the same copy protection method HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).

Switch off the TV set/monitor with HDMI connection and recorder.

Connect recorder to TV set/monitor via HDMI connection as described on page 16/17.

Switch on the TV set/monitor.

Switch on the recorder after 30 seconds.

➠ DVI: If a DVI-HDMI adapter cable is used for transmission,

connect the analog or digital audio outputs on the recorder with the corresponding inputs of the TV set as described on pages 16 - 19.

Leave the existing SCART connection as it is to record from the TV.

HDMI operation

Switch the TV set over to the HDMI AV input (takes place automatically in connection with a -Loewe Flat-TV set, see page 16).

Press the RES button on the recorder repeatedly to set the desired picture resolution (e.g. 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i).

➠ You can only set resolutions which your TV set/monitor is

capable of. For optimum picture quality, select the resolution 1080i on the recorder.

Open the disk drawer.

Insert the selected disk in the drawer with the side to be played facing down.

Close the drawer.

Depending on the medium, playing starts automatically or is started with the Play button or you have to make entries in the menu.

➠ At a set resolution of 720p or 1080i, the other sockets (VIDEO OUT, S-Video

and Component Video) have no function.

➠ If your TV set is unable to process a sampling frequency of 96kHz, set the

sampling rate to 48 kHz in the Setup menu under “Sound” (page 29). If you have selected this option, the recorder will automatically convert all 96kHz signals to 48kHz-signals.

➠ This recorder performs no internal (2-channel) decoding of DTS soundtracks.

In order to enjoy DTS multi-channel surround sound, this recorder must be connected by one of the digital audio outputs to a DTS-compatible receiver.

➠ If the “Dolby Digital” or “MPEG” option has not been set to “PCM” in the

Sound menu (page 29), no sound is output through the TV set.

➠ The HDMI connection to the recorder is operated as a signal output. Please

proceed as described on page 49 if you want to record from an external signal source with the recorder.

About the system

You can play MP3/WMA audio files or show pictures in JPEG format which are stored on a USB stick or a memory card in a USB card reader. You can operate the USB card reader with the remote control of the Loewe recorder. The memory medium must be formatted in FAT 16 or 32 format. Memory cards with other formats cannot be read.

➠ Keep memory media out of reach of children. See a doctor immediately in

case of swallowing.

➠ The reading time of the connected memory medium depends on its perform-

ance capacity, the number of files, the file size or resolution.

➠ The front flap of the recorder cannot be closed while a memory medium is

plugged into the USB socket.

➠ This device is compatible with Flash-USB memory media which support USB 1.1.

➠ Certain USB memory media may not be supported by this device.

➠ Never remove the USB memory medium during access (e.g. playback). This

can lead to malfunctioning of the device.

Plugging in the USB memory medium

Open the front ap.

Plug the USB memory medium into the USB socket. Make sure the

USB plug is the right way round.

➠ If you operate this recorder with a Loewe Flat-TV set, the recording wizard of

the TV set controls the recording via Digital Link Plus. This has the advantages of easier operation, especially when recording digital stations. You will find further information in the TV user guide under “Operation of additional equipment – Timer recordings”.

➠ If your source is copy-protected by Copy-Guard, you cannot use this recorder

Digital Video

General “DV“ information

With DV (Digital Video, also known as i.LINK), you can use a DV cable as the audio, video, data and control signals input / output to connect a camcorder that has DV to this recorder. The i.LINK interface complies with the IEEE 1394-1995 standard. “i.LINK” and the “i.LINK” logo are trademarks.

This recorder is only compatible with “DV 25“ format camcorders. Digital satel-

•

lite tuners and digital VHS video recorders are not compatible. You cannot connect more than one DV cam-corder at a time to this recorder.

•

You cannot control this recorder with external devices that are connected via

•

the DV IN socket (incl. two Recorders). The camcorder connected via the DV IN socket cannot necessarily, in every

•

case, be controlled. Digital camcorders can usually record audio as 16 bit/48 kHz stereo or twin

•

stereo tracks with 12 bit/32 kHz. This recorder can only record one stereo audio track. Set “DV Rec Audio“ as required or Audio 1 or Audio 2 (page 32). The sampling rate of the digital sound input to the DV IN socket must be either

•

32 or 48 kHz (not 44.1 kHz). Recording may suffer from interference if the camcorder stops playing back, if a

•

part of the tape that has not been recorded on is played back, if the electricity supply to the camcorder is cut off, or if the DV cable comes out. When “DV Rec Audio“ is set to “Audio 2“ and there is no Audio 2 signal, “DV

•

Audio“ will automatically be set to “Audio 1“.

DV messages

When you are using the DV IN socket, the following messages may appear on the screen.

Not connected to camcorder: The camcorder is not properly connected, or the camcorder is switched off.

Too many devices connected: This recorder‘s DV socket only supports the connection of one camcorder.

Check tape: There is no tape in the device that is connected.

Incompatible device: The recorder is unable to control the camcorder.

Information is being reloaded: The camcorder is updating data for DV.

Camera mode: The camcorder is set to camera mode.

Recording

Troubleshooting

If you are not receiving images and/or sound via the DV IN socket, check the following:

The DV cable must be properly connected.

•

Switch off the camcorder that is connected, and switch it back on.

•

Tune the audio input in to the recorder.

•

➠ This recorder cannot necessarily control every camcorder that is connected to it.

Recording from a digital camcorder

You can record from a camcorder that is connected to the DV IN socket in the recorder‘s front panel. You can use the recorder‘s remote to control a cam-corder and the recorder. Before recording, make sure that the audio input has been set up for the DV IN socket (page 32).

The digital camcorder must be connected to the DV IN socket at the front of the housing. Further information can be found on page 20.

You can choose from between Audio 1 (original audio) and Audio 2 (overdubbed audio).

The DV input is set using the “DV Rec Audio“ submenu of the main menu (page 32).

Select DV input.

“DV” is displayed in the display window of the recorder and on the screen.

Search the position on the camcorder tape from which you want to record.

For optimum results, interrupt play-back of the camcorder at the point from which you want to record. Depending on the camcorder you can operate the functions STOP, PLAY and PAUSE with this recorder.

Start recording.

The recording is stopped automatically when the recorder detects no signal.

Interrupt recording. Press again to continue.

End recording.

➠ You cannot use the recorder to control the camcorder while

recording is in progress.

➠ In Video mode, the last frame of the recording is shown on

Title, Chapter and Parts

Titles of the original content of the disc contain one or more chapters. When inserting a title in the playlist, all the chapters within this title also appear. That means that chapters in the playlist behave exactly the same as chapters on a DVD-Video disc. Parts are sequences of the original or playlist titles. Parts can be added to or deleted from the Original and Playlist menu. When adding a chapter or title to the Playlist, a new title is created consisting of a sequence (= chapter) of an original title. When deleting, part of the title of the Original or Playlist menu is deleted.

➠ If you use the Delete, Edit and Move functions, the start and end frames may not

correspond exactly with the start and end points. A short pause may be made between edits during play-back of the playlist. This is not a malfunction.

In the finalisation of a disc in video mode, a menu is created for controlling the disc. Access is obtained with the MENU or TITLE buttons. For finalisation of a disc, please read “Finalisation” on page 33.

➠ Edited contents of a DVD+RW disc can only be played on normal DVD players

after finalisation.

➠ Edited contents of a DVD+R disc (hidden files, combined chapters, added

chapter markers etc.) cannot be played on normal DVD players.
