Safety Information, General Notes
2.Safety Information, General Notes
EN 5DVDR70 & DVDR75/0x12.
2.1Safety Instructio ns
2.1.1General Safety
Safety regulations require that during a repair:
•Connect the unit to the mains via an isolation transformer.
•Replace safety components, indicated by the symbol ,
only by components identical to the original ones. Any
other component substitution (other than original type) may
increase risk of fire or electrical shock hazard.
Safety regulations require that after a repair, you must return
the unit in its original condition. Pay, in particular, attention to
the following points:
•Route the wires/cables correctly, and fix them with the
mounted cable clamps.
•Check the insulation of the mains lead for external
damage.
•Check the elect rical DC resistance between the mains plug
and the secondary side:
1. Unplug the mains cord, and connect a wire between
the two pins of the mains plug.
2. Set the mains switch to the 'on' position (keep the
mains cord unplugged!).
3. Measure the resistance value between the mains plug
and the front panel, controls, and chassis bottom.
4. Repair or correct unit when the resistance
measurement is less than 1 MΩ.
5. Verify this, before you return the unit to the customer/
user (ref. UL-standard no. 1492).
6. Switch the unit ‘off’, and remove the wire between the
two pins of the mains plug.
2.1.2Laser Safety
This unit employs a laser. Only qualified service personnel may
remove the cover, or attempt to service this device (due to
possible eye injury).
2.2Warnings
2.2.1General
•All ICs and many other semiconductors are susceptible to
electrostatic discharges (ESD, ). Careless handling
during repair can reduce life drastically. Make sure that,
during repair, you are at the same potential as the mass of
the set by a wristband with resistance. Keep components
and tools at this same potential.
Available ESD protection equipment:
–Complete kit ESD3 (small tablemat, wristband,
connection box, extension cable and earth cable) 4822
310 10671.
–Wristband tester 4822 344 13999.
•Be careful during measurements in the live voltage section.
The primary side of the power supply (pos. 1005), including
the heatsink, carries live mains voltage when you connect
the player to the mains (even when the player is 'off'!). It is
possible to touch copper tracks and/or components in this
unshielded primary area, when you service the player.
Service personnel must take precautions to prevent
touching this area or components in this area. A 'lightning
stroke' and a stripe-marked printing on the printed wiring
board, indicate the primary side of the power supply.
•Never replace modules, or components, while the unit is
‘on’.
2.2.2Laser
•The use of optical instruments with this product, will
increase eye hazard.
•Only qualified service personnel may remove the cover or
attempt to service this device, due to possible eye injury.
•Repair handling should take place as much as possible
with a disc loaded inside the player.
•Text below is placed inside the unit, on the laser cover

Connecting additional devices
Connecting additional devices to the
second scart socket
You can connect additional devices such as decoders, satellite receivers, camcorders, etc. to the
EXT 2 AUX-I/O socket. When playback is started on this additional device the DVD recorder
automatically connects the EXT 2 AUX-I/O scart socket with the EXT 1 TO TV-I/O scart
socket. You will then see the picture from the additional device on your TV set, even if the
DVD recorder is switched off.
The TV/DVD button on the remote control allows you to switch between playback through the
EXT 2 AUX-I/O scart socket and playback from the DVD recorder.
Connecting additional video recorders
You can connect a video recorder to the EXT 2 AUX-I/O socket.
If you have an SVHS video recorder you can also use the OUT S-VIDEO (Y/C) socket and the
OUT L AUDIO R sockets.
Please note:
Most prerecorded video cassettes and DVDs are copy-protected. If you try to copy them you
will see the message 'COPY PROT' on the DVD recorder's display.
aWhen copying video cassettes the display on the DVD recorder
shows 'NO SIGNAL'
b Check that the cable is plugged in firmly.
b If a recording is made from a video recorder, change the tracking on the
video recorder.
b The DVD recorder may not be able to recognise the video input signal if
this signal is poor or does not comply with relevant standards.
When I copy DVD video discs or prerecorded video cassettes the
a
picture is fuzzy and the brightness varies
b This happens if you try to copy DVDs or video cassettes that have been
copy-protected. Even though the picture on the TV is fine the recording on
a DVD+R(W) is faulty. This interference is unavoidable with copy-protected
DVDs or video cassettes.

•) a receiver with twochannel digital stereo (PCM)
Digital multichannel sound
Digital multi-channel sound offers the best possible sound quality. You will
need a multi-channel A/V receiver or amplifier that supports at least one of
the audio formats of the DVD recorder (MPEG2, Dolby Digital and DTS).
Consult the operating instructions for your receiver to find out which audio
formats it supports.

Switching over audio recording
(2channel sound)
Some TV programmes transmit an extra audio signal in stereo in addition to the normal audio
signal (2-channel sound). In most cases this means that an additional language is available. If a TV
programme is available in, say, English and German, German may be available as the second
language.
To record TV programmes in stereo or 2-channel sound you can select Stereo or the language
you want as the default setting. This setting does not become active until the sound of a TV
programme is transmitted in 2-channel sound.
When you play back the recording you can play back the sound only in the language you used
for the recording.

General
Which discs can I use for recording?
With this DVD recorder, you can record on two types of DVD:
DVD+RW
This disc can be written to and then the contents deleted.
DVD+R
This type of disc can only be recorded once.
If you want to play this DVD in a DVD player it must be finalized using the
'Finalise disc' function. It is not possible to make further recordings using
this disc.
If this disc is to be played in a DVD recorder it must not be finalised.
Recordings can be added and deleted. The disc space (playback time) from the
deleted recording cannot be recovered for further recordings
Use the 'Manual recording' function to spontaneously start recording (e.g. to record a TV show
already in progress).
In the 'index display' select the title to be overwritten or 'Empty title' with CH- B , CH+ A .
If you insert recordings between existing recordings, check the lengths of the old and new
recordings. If the new recording is too long the subsequent recording (title/chapter) will be
overwritten.
Insert new recordings at the end of all existing recordings (Safe
Record)
To add a new recording at the end of the last recording on the disc, hold
down the REC/OTR n button until the message 'SAFE REC' appears on the
display.
For DVD+R discs each new recording is always added at the end of all
previous recordings as existing recordings cannot be overwritten.
End of disc is reached
If the end of a disc is reached during recording, recording will stop and the
Recorder will turn itself off automatically.
Please refer to section 'Recording without automatic switchoff', if you want to manually
start and stop your own recording.
If you want to start a recording manually but have it stopped automatically, read the section
'Recording with automatic switchoff'. (e.g. not to record to the end of the disc)
Read the section 'Automatic recording from a satellite receiver', if you want a recording
to be controlled automatically by a satellite receiver.
Read the section 'Direct record' if you want to record a programme currently being shown.

General
When a recording is made to disc, the following additional information is also stored at the
beginning of the recording:
•) Name of the recording
If the TV station does not transmit a name, only the
channel number and time will be stored as the name
•) Length of the recording
•) Record type (Quality)
•) Date of the recording
•) Index picture of the recording
A marker will be set every 5-6 minutes if the 'Auto chapters' function is activated in the
'Record settings' menu. This marker is known as a 'chapter'.
These markers can be changed when the recording has finished.
Can markers be set on a DVD+R disc?
Markers can be set on these discs if they have not been finalised.
It is also possible to add 'chapters' later. This means that scenes you do not want to see during
playback, such as commercials, can be hidden or skipped. During playback you can watch your
recording as a continuous sequence without the hidden chapters.
Select from the following chapters:
'Favorite Scene Selection',
to divide the title into chapters or to manage the chapters.
'Editing recording titles (name)',
to change the recording names.
'Play complete title',
to play the entire title including the hidden chapters.

ENGLISH
General
Use 'Programming a recording (TIMER)', to automatically start and stop a recording at a later
date.
The DVD recorder will switch to the right programme number and begin recording at the
correct time.
With this DVD recorder, you can pre-programme up to six recordings within a period of one
month.
To make a programmed recording, your DVD recorder needs to know:
* the date you want to make the recording
* the programme number of the TV channel
* the start and stop time of the recording
* VPS or PDC on or off
* the recording mode ('M1/M2/M2x/M3/M4/M6')
This information is saved in a 'TIMER block'.
What is 'VPS/PDC'?
'VPS' (Video Programming System)/'PDC' (Programme Delivery Control) are
used to control the start and duration of TV channel recordings. If a TV
programme starts earlier or ends later than was scheduled, the DVD recorder
will then turn on and off at the correct time.
What do I need to know about 'VPS/PDC'?
• Usually the start time is the same as the VPS or PDC time. If a different
'VPS/PDC time' is indicated, e.g.: '20.15 (VPS/PDC 20.14)', the VPS/PDC time
'20.14' must be entered exactly to the minute during programming.
If you want to programme a time that is different from the VPS or PDC time,
you must switch off VPS or PDC.
• Only one TV program of a TV channel can be controlled using 'VPS/PDC' at a
time. If you want to record two or more TV programmes on a TV channel
using 'VPS/PDC', you will need to programme these as two separate
recordings.
• Since the DVD recorder requires a certain lead time (for getting the disc up to
speed and positioning the laser) before recording can start, it is possible that
the recorder will miss the first few seconds of a TV show recorded with
VPS/PDC.
In this case, disable VPS/PDC and enter a start time one minute earlier.

'NexTView Link'
This DVD recorder is equipped with the 'NexTView Link' feature. If your television is also
equipped with this function, you can mark TV programmes on the television for programming.
These TV programmes will automatically be transmitted to a TIMER block on the DVD
recorder. If you clear the marking of the TV programme on the television, the corresponding
TIMER block on the DVD recorder will also be cleared.
For more information, read the instruction manual of your TV set.
Directions For Use
If any of the TIMER blocks are in use, 'TIMER' will light up on the recorder display.

Films on pre-recorded DVD discs may contain scenes not suitable for children. Therefore, some
discs may contain 'Parental Control' rating information that applies to the entire disc or to
certain scenes on the disc.
The appropriate scenes have filter values that reach from 1-8. If such a scene is detected during
playback, the filter value set on the DVD recorder is compared to the scene. If the filter value is
higher than the setting, an alternative scene will be played (if available).
Most DVDs apply the rating to an entire DVD. Therefore, if certain scenes exceed the rating

5.Diagnostic Software
Diagnostic Software
Due to the complexity of the DVD recorder, the time to find a
defect in the recorder can become long. To reduce this time,
the recorder has been equipped with Diagnostic and Service
software (DS). The DS offers functionality to diagnose the
DVDR hardware and tests the following:
•Interconnections between components
•Accessibility of components
•Functionality of the audio and video paths
This functionality can be accessed via several interfaces:
1. End user/Dealer script interface
2. Player script interface
3. Menu and command interface
5.1End User/Dealer Script Interface
5.1.1Description
The End user/Dealer script interface gives a diagnosis on a
stand alone DVD recorder. You only need a cinch audio and
video cable for the test. During this mode, a number of
hardware tests (nuclei) are automatically executed to check if
the recorder is faulty. The diagnosis is simply a "fail" or "pass"
message. If the message "FAIL" appears on the display, there
is apparently a failure in the recorder. If the message "PASS"
appears, the nuclei in this mode have been executed
successfully. There can be still a failure in the recorder
because the nuclei in this mode don't cover the complete
functionality of the recorder.
5.1.2Contents
Unplug the power cord
Hold key <PLAY> pressed
while you plug the recorder
During the test, the following display
is shown: the counter counts down
from the number of nuclei to be run
before the test finishes. Example:
SET O.K.?
NO
YES
To exit DEALER SCRIPT, unplug the power cord
Figure 5-1
The End use/Dealer script executes all diagnostic nuclei that
do not need any user interaction and are meaningful on a
standalone DVD recorder. The nuclei called in the End user/
Dealer script are the following:

5.2Player Script Interface
5.2.1Description
The Player script will give the opportunity to perform a test that
will determine which of the DVD recorder's modules are faulty,
to read the error log and to perform an endurance loop test. To
successfully perform the tests, the DVD recorder must be
connected to a TV set.
To be able to check results of certain nuclei, the player script
expects some interaction of the user (i.e. to approve a test
picture or a test sound). Some nuclei (e.g. nuclei that test
functionality of the DVDR module) require that a DVD+RW disc
is inserted.
Only tests within the scope of the diagnostic software will be
executed hence only faults within this scope can be detected.

5.2.2Structure of the Player Script
The player script consists of a set of nuclei testing the hardware
modules in the DVD recorder: the Display PWB, the Digital
PWB, the Analogue In/Out PWB and the DVDR module.
Nuclei run by the player test need some user interaction; in the
next table this interaction is described. The player test is done
in two phases:
•Interactive tests: this part of the player test depends
strongly on user interaction and input to determine nucleus
results and to progress through the full test. Reading the
error log information can be useful to determine any errors
that occurred recently during normal operation of the DVD
player.
•The loop test will perform the same nuclei as the dealer
test, but it will loop through the list of nuclei indefinitely.

Set-Up Physical Interface Components
Hardware required:
•Service PC
•one free COM port on the Service PC
•special cable to connect DVD recorder to Service PC
The service PC must have a terminal emulation program (e.g.
OS2 WarpTerminal or Procomm) installed and must have a
free COM port (e.g. COM1). Activate the terminal emulation
program and check that the port settings for the free COM port
are: 19200 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no flow
control. The free COM port must be connected via a special
cable to the RS232 port of the DVD recorder. This special cable
will also connect the test pin, which is available on the
connector, to ground (i.e. activate test pin).
Code number of PC interface cable: 3122 785 90017
