Safety Information, General Notes

2. Safety Information, General Notes

EN 5DVDR70 & DVDR75/0x1 2.

2.1 Safety Instructio ns

2.1.1 General 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.

2.1.2 Laser 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).

2.2 Warnings

2.2.1 General

• 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’.

2.2.2 Laser

• 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 shield:

Directions For Use

Connecting the DVD recorder

What is a scart cable?

The scart or Euro AV cable serves as the universal connector for picture, sound and control signals. With this type of connection, there is practically no loss of quality in picture or sound transmission.

3 Insert one end of the supplied aerial cable into the TV OUT socket at

the back of the DVD recorder and the other end into the aerial input socket at the back of the TV set.

4 Plug in a special scart cable (for Easylink) into the scart socket EXT 1

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

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 Dolby Surround Pro Logic

•) a receiver with twochannel analogue stereo

ENGLISH

Connecting audio devices to the digital audio socket

At the back of the DVD recorder there is a digital audio output socket DIGITAL AUDIO OUT for an coaxial cable.

These can be used to connect the following:

•) an A/V receiver or an A/V amplifier with a digital multichannel sound decoder

•) a receiver with twochannel digital stereo (PCM)

Digital multichannel 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.

aAll I can hear from my loudspeakers is a loud distorted noise

b The receiver is not compatible with the digital audio format of the DVD

recorder. The audio format of the DVD disc is displayed in the status window when you switch to anoter language. Playback in six-channel digital surround sound is only possible if the receiver has a digital multi-channel sound decoder.

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 switchoff', 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 switchoff'. (e.g. not to record to the end of the disc)
