This product is equipped with copy protection technology required by many motion picture companies that produce high deﬁnition movies. Consumers should note that not all high deﬁnition television sets are fully compatible with the applied technology and therefore may cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture. In case of 525 or 625 Progressive Scan picture problems, it is recommended that the user switch the connection to the “standard deﬁnition” output.

This warning label is located inside the set.

Connections for the TV

For the connection to the TV, the DVD recorder system has a Scart socket and a Component Video output which supports Progressive Scan.

Scart is an easy to use connection which makes additional features possible (e. g. Follow TV, Direct Record). Progressive Scan enhances the clarity of the picture and offers the best picture quality when you play a DVD on this DVD recorder system.

First, consult the user manual of your TV on which connections are available on your TV: – If your TV does not support Progressive Scan connect

the TV and DVD recorder system with Scart only. See “Case 1: Scart connection”.

– If your TV supports Progressive Scan connect both, the

Scart and the Component Video output to your TV. See “Case 2: Component Video / Progressive Scan connection”.

Case1: Scart connection

If several Scart sockets are available on your TV, select one that is suited for RGB input to achieve the best picture quality.

Connect the TV directly to the DVD recorder system without a VCR or any other equipment in between. Otherwise, not all functions of the DVD recorder system may be available.

● Connect the Scart socket of the TV (EUROCONNECTOR,

EURO-AV or similar) to EXT-1 TOTV-I/O on the DVD recorder system with the supplied Scart cable.

Case 2: Component Video / Progressive Scan connection

This DVD recorder system supports Progressive Scan (“PAL Progressive” or similar).

To appreciate the ﬂexibility of the Scart connection and the high picture quality of Progressive Scan, it is recommended to connect both, Scart (EXT-1 TO TV-I/O) and the Component Video / Progressive Scan output of the DVD recorder system to your TV.

Use the Progressive Scan connection (FOR PLAYBACK / VIDEO OUT COMPONENT Y PBPR) when playing a disc on the DVD recorder system. Use the Scart connection when playing connected equipment (SAT,VCR, GAME, CAM1/2). Please consult the user manual of your TV on how to switch between the Scart and the Progressive Scan input of the TV.

1 Check the user manual of your TV on which AV input is

suited for Progressive Scan. Usually, these sockets are green, blue and red and are labelled Y PBPRor Y CBCR. If your TV is not suited for Progressive Scan, only connect Scart (See “Case 1: Scart connection”).

2 Connect FOR PLAYBACK / VIDEO OUT COMPONENT

YPBPRon the DVD recorder system to the Progressive Scan input of the TV with a Component Video cable (red, green and blue plugs). Match the colours of the cable plugs to the sockets.

3 Connect the Scart socket of the TV to EXT-1 TOTV-I/O on

the DVD recorder system with the supplied Scart cable. See “Case 1: Scart connection” on page 13.

If you decide not to connect Scart, connect the audio output of the TV to AUDIO LIN1 L/R or LIN2 L/R to play the sound of your TV on the speakers of the DVD recorder system.With the Scart connection, this is not necessary.

Please be aware that some TVs switch automatically from the Progressive Scan input to the Scart input as soon as a signal is available on the Scart input. In this case you have to select the Progressive Scan input on your TV again. If your TV repeatedly switches from the Progressive Scan input to the Scart input, disconnect the Component Video cable and use the Scart connection only.

Connecting additional video equipment

You can connect more than one video equipment with a Scart socket to EXT-2 AUX I/O by means of a “Scart chain”. For example: satellite receiver,set-top box,VCR, DVD player,… In the illustration below, a satellite receiver is connected to a VCR and the VCR to the DVD recorder system.

Please keep in mind that the equipment closest to the DVD recorder system will provide the input signal if several sets in the chain are switched on.Therefore: When selecting a video equipment connected to EXT-2 AUX I/O, make sure that all other equipment connected to EXT-2 AUX I/O is switched off or to standby.

Consult the user manuals of the video equipment you wish to connect on which Scart sockets are available and how to connect them to other video equipment.

1 Connect the Scart socket of a video equipment to

EXT-2 AUX I/O on the DVD recorder system with a Scart cable. If the equipment has several Scart sockets, use the one labelled TO TV or similar.

Note: Use RGB capable Scart cables only. Some other Scart cables are only partially wired, resulting in a moderate picture quality and less functionality of the Scart connection.

2 Connect another video equipment to the free Scart socket

on the video equipment which is already connected to the DVD recorder system.

3 If a digital video equipment (e. g. satellite receiver or game

console) supports digital surround sound, connect its digital output to the DVD recorder system. See “Digital connection for sound playback”.

Connecting additional audio equipment

Please consult the user manual of your audio equipment on which connections are possible.

Analogue connection for audio playback

Discs for recording

For recording with this DVD recorder system, you can use 2 different types of DVD discs.These discs are marked with the logos shown below.

– DVD+RW

can be recorded on, erased and re-recorded many times and played on DVD+RW compatible DVD players and DVD recorders.

– DVD+R

can be recorded on once. Recordings can be added and deleted. However, the position of a deleted recording cannot be used for further recordings again. If the DVD+R is to be played on this DVD recorder system only, it does not have to be ﬁnalised. For playing the DVD+R on other standard DVD players and DVD recorders, it has to be ﬁnalised. Once a DVD+R has been ﬁnalised, no further recordings can be made.

The DVD recorder system is designed to record video on DVD+Rs and DVD+RWs.You cannot record (Super) Video CDs, audio CDs or MP3-CDs on this set.

Copyright protection

When you try to record copy protected material from an external appliance, COPY PROT will be displayed.No recording is possible then.

This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by U.S. patents and other intellectual property rights. Use of this copyright protection technology must be authorised by Macrovision, and is intended for home and other limited viewing uses only unless otherwise authorised by Macrovision. Reverse engineering or disassembly is prohibited.

Recording is permissible insofar as copyright or other rights of third parties are not infringed upon.

In some countries the use of the DVD recorder system as shown or suggested in this user manual may require the authorisation of copyright holders.

Before you start recording

For each recording on a DVD+RW or DVD+R disc, the following information will be stored automatically: – Name of the recording:If a TV station transmits the

name of a programme (e.g. Superman), it will be stored automatically. If the programme’s name is not transmitted, the channel number or channel name and the time when recording has been started will be stored as the name of the recording.

– Total recording time – Record type (Quality) – Date of the recording – Index picture of the recording

Recordings on a DVD disc are called “titles”. Each title consists of one or more “chapters”.

Recording on a DVD+RW disc starts at the current position on the disc. i. e. where you stopped playback or

recording the last time.Titles you have recorded earlier may be overwritten without notice. If you insert a disc, recording will start at the beginning of the disc! In this respect your DVD recorder system behaves just like a Video Cassette Recorder. If you want to make a recording without the risk of overwriting earlier recordings, use the function safe record (see chapter “Safe record”).

Notes:

If you insert a disc that already contains the maximum of

48 titles (including empty titles): Too many titles is displayed.You can only record on this disc after erasing one or more titles.

If you insert a DVD+RW the contents of which are not DVD video compatible (e.g. a data disc):A dialogue box appears with the option to erase or eject the disc.You can only record on this disc after erasing it by using REC/OTR.

On a disc containing PAL recordings, no NTSC recordings can be made and vice versa. On an empty disc, either type of recordings can be made.

No recordings can be made from so-called “Pseudo-PAL” or PAL-60 sources.

Recording sound without a picture is not possible.

With Access control you can restrict playback of video discs in 2 ways: – Some DVDs contain Parental control information.With

“Parental level”activated, such DVDs will not play or will play alternative scenes for your children.

– With “Child lock” you can prevent any video disc

(DVD, DVD+R, DVD+RW,Video CD and Super Video CD) from being played on this set.

Parental level (DVD only)

Movies on pre-recorded DVD-Video discs may contain scenes not suitable for children. Some of those discs may contain “Parental control” rating information that applies to the entire disc or to certain scenes on the disc.The rating information on the disc is country dependent.The levels reach from 1–8: – 1: Recommended as acceptable for viewers of all ages. – 2: Reserved – 3: Parental guidance suggested. – 4: Material is unsuitable for children under age 13. – 5: Reserved – 6: Recommended that parents restrict children under 17

from viewing or allow to view only when supervised by a parent.

– 7: Not recommended for children under age 17 – 8: For adults only

You can set a ﬁlter value on the DVD recorder system. If during playback a scene that contains a “Parental control” rating information is detected, the set ﬁlter value on the DVD recorder system is compared to it. For example, if a ﬁlter value of 5 is set on the DVD recorder system, only discs with a “Parental control” rating of a lower or equal level (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5) will play.If the scene’s rating is higher (e.g. 8) than the set ﬁlter value, an alternative scene (if available) will be played. If there is no alternative scene available, playback is stopped and the 4-digit code has to be entered again.
