GENERAL
About DVD
The DVD - Digital Versatile Disc is a storage medium for digital information. DVDs are marked with one of the adjacent symbols.
Depending on how the information is recorded, there are different types of DVD with differing storage capacities.
DVD structure
Video DVDs are divided into titles and chapters. A DVD can have a number of titles, each consisting of a number of chapters. Titles and chapters are serially numbered:
Normally, the first title of a DVD consists of license notices and information about the manufacturer. The next title is usually the film itself. Further titles can be, for example, "Making of" reports, film previews or information about the cast.
Languages and subtitles DVDs can store sound tracks in up to eight languages and subtitles in up to
32 languages. Sound track language and subtitle language can be mixed as you wish.
Regional codes
In support of worldwide sales strategies, regional coding was developed which only allows DVDs to be played on players purchased in certain regions.
This code is based on a system that divides the world into six regi­ons. Europe is in zone 2. On your DVD player, you can only play DVDs with regional code 2. The regional code is printed on the pak­kaging of the DVD (see adjacent logo).
In addition to DVDs with regional code 2, you can play DVDs with regional code 0 (no regional limitation) on your appliance.
If you have problems playing certain DVDs, check that they have regional code 2 or 0.
DVD blanks
Your recorder can write two kinds of DVD blanks:
DVD+RW: DVD ReWritable blanks can be written a number of times. They can be played on other DVD players without fixation (see "Finalize DVD (DVD+R only)", p. 28).
DVD+R: DVD+R blanks (once-writable DVDs) cannot be played on other DVD players without fixation. Although a recording on a DVD+R blank can be deleted, it cannot be overwritten.

MP3 format
MP3 is a compression format for audio data. The MP3 format was developed to provide extremely high compression of audio data.
To be recognised as such, MP3 files must be saved with the corresponding .mp3 filename extension. Unlike the usual audio CD, an MP3 CD can be sub­divided, in the same way as a computer data CD, into directories (folders, al­bums) and files (tracks, titles).
Available surround sound formats
GENERAL
Dolby Digital 5.1
This format uses digitally recorded sound with up to five separate full-band- width audio channels (front left, right and middle, rear left and right) and an ef­fects or base channel (5.1) recorded separately. Material with sound in Dolby Digital format is marked with the adjacent trademark.
As the channels are completely independent, a three-dimensional impression can be created with clarity of distance, movement and relative position.
Your DVD recorder can read these audio data and passes them to the digital outputs (DIGITAL OUT) for decoding. It cannot, however, decode the sound from a dts recording itself.
dts (Digital Theatre System)
The abbreviation dts denotes a sound format that is, as yet, not very wi­despread but also provides for the recording of up to six (5.1) separate chan­nels. Material with sound in dts format is marked with the adjacent trademark.
Your DVD recorder can read these audio data and passes them to the digital outputs (DIGITAL OUT) for decoding. It cannot, however, decode the sound from a dts recording itself.
Prograssive Scan
Trademarks
"Dolby", "Pro Logic" and the double-D symbol are trade­marks of Dolby Labora-tories.
The term "dts" is a trademark of DTS Technology, LLC.
Your recorder has standard, video, SCART (Peritel), S video, and component outputs. With an S video connection, the picture quality is better than with a simple cinch video connection. A SCART connection can yield still better pic­ture quality than an S video connection.
If your TV receiver has a progressive scan capability, the best picture quality will be obtained by using the component video outputs. Using progressive scan, the picture frequency is higher, flicker is minimised and motion is better resolved.
The requirement is, of course, that your TV receiver can process this format. Progressive scan does not work with a SCART or any other video connection.

AVAILABLE CONNECTIONS
The DVD recorder can be interconnected with a number of other input and output devices:
with a television set,with an amplifier/receiver,with a video recorder,with other audio-visual equipment.
Before making connections, ensure that all equipment is switched off. Do not connect the appliance to the mains until all intercon­nections have been made.
Connecting the DVD recorder
For ease of installation, most of the connecting cables are fitted with coloured connectors. Simply mate plugs and sockets of the same colour when intercon­necting two appliances.
The connection examples show a number of ways in which the recorder can be interconnected with other equipment. To simply connect the DVD recorder to a television receiver, all that is required is an audio and a video connection.
If the cable from your TV antenna or cables system is connected to the DVD recorder with a further antenna cable from recorder to TV set, you can watch TV programmes even when the DVD recorder is in standby mode.
Avoid connecting the DVD recorder indirectly, via a video recorder. This can significantly affect picture quality.
DVD-RECORDER 80032 9
AVAILABLE CONNECTIONS
The drawing shows two op­tions:
- TV connection with S-VHS cable,
- TV connection with com­ponent cable.
Connecting to the TV set with an AV or SCART cable
You can connect the DVD recorder to the TV set using either a AV cable or a SCART cable.
10
In either case, the antenna cable from the wall socket to the TV set must be disconnected from the TV set and connected to the ANTENNA IN socket of the DVD recorder. Connect the antenna outlet of the DVD recorder to the an­tenna input of the TV set, using the antenna cable supplied.
1st option: connect one end of the AV cable to the Audio / Video output sok­kets of the DVD recorder and the other end to the AV input sockets of your TV set.
2nd option: connect one end of the SCART cable to the SCART output socket of the DVD recorder and the other end to the SCART input socket of your TV set.
Connecting to the TV set using an S-VHS cable or with the additional component cable
