Set up

Place the recorder on a ﬁrm, level base.

•

Do not move the recorder during operation or just after switching it off.

•

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 disc. 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 7). 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 15). 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).

About the internal hard disk

The internal hard disk (HDD) is very sensitive. Operate the recorder according to the following regulations to avoid HDD errors. Important recordings should be saved on DVDs to avoid losing data (page 54). Do not move the recorder immediately after switching it off. To move the recorder, proceed as follows:

Wait at least two minutes after the message POWER OFF.

1. Pull out the mains plug.

2. Move the recorder.

Data on the HDD may be lost if the power fails during recorder operation. The HDD is very sensitive. Improper handling or an unsuitable environment could damage the HDD after a few years in operation. Sudden stopping during playing and visible mosaic effects in the picture are an indication of this. There may be no advance warning signs for an HDD defect. Recordings cannot be played if the HDD is defective. The HDD must be replaced in this case.

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 DR+, 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.

➠ 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 49) 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 56).

Digital multi-channel sound

A digital multi-channel connection offers the best sound quality. You will need a multi-channel audio/video receiver which supports one or more audio formats, e.g. MPEG 2, Dolby Digital and DTS. You will find information in the documentation enclosed with the receiver.

➠ Due to the DTS licensing agreement the digital output will be to DTS DIGITAL-

OUT when a DTS audio stream is selected.

This recorder does not perform a (2-channel) decoding (downmix) of a DTS sound track internally. In order to enjoy DTS multi-channel surround sound, you have to connect this recorder to a DTS-compatible receiver via one of the recorder’s digital audio outputs.

The General Menu

Automatic programming

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 12).

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 13).

➠ 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.

Transfer station list

Call menu.

5 6 Select General symbol. 4 Call second level. 5 6 Select Auto Programming.

4 Press 3 times. The Start DLP button is marked.

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.

➠ (Viewvision DR+ Secam). French stations will only be transferred in the cor-

rect 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 OUT socket of the DVD recorder.

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

DIGITAL OUT 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.

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 Definition 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 13.

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 13 and 14.

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 13).

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 disc drawer.

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

Close the drawer. Call main menu.

34 Select FILM. 56 Select HDD, HDD DivX or Disc.

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

➠ The other sockets (VIDEO OUT, S-Video and Component Video) have no

function during the HDMI mode.

➠ With an HDMI connection the audio scanning frequency is only 48 kHz, even

when selecting 96 kHz.

➠ 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 22), 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 44 if you want to record from an external signal source with the 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.

•

•

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 25). 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.

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 25).

The digital camcorder must be connected to the DV IN socket at the front of the housing. Further information can be found on page15.

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 25).

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.

Under the Title List menu, video contents on unfinalised DVDs in VR mode and video contents on the internal HDD can be edited. The available edit functions are dependent on whether video on a DVD in VR mode or on the HDD or whether original contents or playlists are edited. DVD-RW discs in VR-mode can be edited in two ways. Original contents of the disc can be edited directly or a playlist can be created and edited. The playlist does not change the contents of the disc but controls its play-back. The editing of recordings on the HDD is the same as editing of original contents of a DVD-RW in the VR mode. Similar commands for deleting and naming titles as well as a fine setting of the chapter contents within the titles are available.

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.

Glossary

AV socket: Audio and video signal. AV sources: Audio/video source. AVS: Audio/video front sockets on the TV set (cinch and Mini-DIN).

Cinch cable: Cable for transmitting sound or picture. Component Signal: The Component video signal consists of the “Y” brightness signal and the colour difference signals red and blue “U” and “V”. Therefore it is sometimes called YUV signal. If the signal is transmitted in progressive scan, the signals are called YcrCb. For transmission in half screen mode (line jump method or interlace), the signals are called YPrPb.

Digital Link: System for controlling recorders (for Loewe video recorders and DVD recorders) via the Euro AV sockets of the Loewe TV set when installed in a concealed place. Control of the recorder for timer recordings. Digital Link Plus: System for controlling recorders according to protocol 50. Station and timer data are transmitted to the recorder via the Euro AV socket for analog stations. The time recording is made exclusively by the recorder. Different names at different manufacturers. DTS: Digital multi-channel sound. Dolby Digital: Digital multi-channel sound. Dolby Pro Logic: Analog multi-channel sound. Dolby Surround: is an analog multi-channel sound system which accommodates four audio channels in two sound tracks using a matrix coding. Dolby Virtual: Dolby Pro Logic audio signals are played over two speakers as a virtual surround signal. DVD: abbreviation for Digital Video Disc and later Digital Versatile Disc. DVD-Preceiver: combi-device of DVD player and radio. DVI: Digital Visual Interface is an interface for transmitting digital video and graphic data (without sound).

Euro AV socket: Interface for connecting video recorders to a TV set. This socket is also known as a Scart socket.

HDCP: Copy protection standard. HDMI: High Definition Multimedia Interface is a newly developed interface for full digital transmission of audio and video data.

LCD: Liquid Crystal Display. L-Link: Interface for detection and control of Loewe audio components.

NICAM: Sound standard NICAM is used in Belgium, Denmark, England, France, Sweden and Spain. NTSC: American color standard.

PAL: European colour standard. PCM: Puls Code Modulation for digital sound. PIP: Picture in Picture, a function which shows two pictures on one screen. Progressive Scan: Progressive Scan (PS for short) is a technique in the picture buildup of monitors, TV sets, beamers and other display devices in which the output device is not sent line interlaced half pictures – unlike in the interlace technique – but real full pictures. Picture In Picture: see PIP.

RGB: colour signals red, green, blue.

Switching voltage: Video devices transmit this voltage to switch the TV to play. SECAM: French colour standard. SetTop-Box: Set-Top-Box refers to a device in entertainment electronics which is connected to another device, usually a TV set and offers the user additional useful features. Signal strength: strength of the reception signal. Signal quality: quality of the incoming signal. Stereo: dual channel sound.

Terrestrial: In data transmission, a radio transmission which does not use a satellite as an intermediate station is called terrestrial. Tuner: receiver

VPS: The Video Program System (VPS) is a signal which some (but not all) stations transmit in the scanning gap of the TV signal. The signal serves for video or DVD recorders to react to differences in the starting time, postponements and overrunning of the planned transmission time when recording programs.

Ycc/Ypp: colour standard in Set-Top-Boxes.

MPEG: Digital compression method for video. Modulator: Transmitter in the recorder to receive signals via the TV tuner. Mono: single channel sound.
