The outputs of 2, 3, 4, 7 and 8 are dedicated to modules of digital signal processing (DVD). The video and audio outputs of 5 and 6 are dedicated to modules of digital (DVD) or analogue (VHS) signal processing. Both groups of outputs are used for analogue and digital sources. But there are limitations, e.g.: During recording or scheduled recording on DVD, the VHS playback is only possible on outputs of 5 and 6.

For a conventional tube television, we recommend using the Scart socket. You retain a high-quality RGB video picture with an RGB-compatible television.

If you want to use a progressive-capable LCD/plasma television or LCD projector, connect it to COMPONENT VIDEO OUT to get a high quality progressive video picture.

Cartridge write protection

Remove the 8-cm disc from the cartridge before using it with this unit.

Handling discs

If the surface of a disc, which has no Cartridge or was removed from one, is scratched, dirty, dusty or has finger prints, playback or processing can be impaired. Such impairments can also occur when the disc is placed back in the Cartridge. Note: Only write on the label side of the disc. Use a soft, oil-based felt-tip pen. Do not use a ball-point pen or any other hard writing instrument. Do not affix stickers or labels to the disc. When not in use, put the disc in its case or Cartridge.

Cleaning the DVD-RAM

Clean the disc with a special DVD-RAM cleaner (optional) and read the cleaner instructions throughly before use. Bad scratches and stubborn dirt may not be able to be removed so that recording, editing or playback is still compromised even after cleaning. The disc should then no longer be used. Do not use benzine, alcohol, water, cleaning sprays, household cleaners or other solvents.
