• Do not stack any other equipment on top of your DVD recorder. Do not place the device on top of an amplifier or any other equipment that gives off heat • The appliance should not be in contact with liquids or exposed to the risk of dripping or splashing.Therefore be careful not to place any object containing a liquid (vase, glass, bottle,...) on or near your appliance • The DVD recorder must not be near or exposed to a flame. For instance, do not place a candle on or near the device • Protect the DVD recorder from moisture and excess heat (e.g. fireplace) or equipment creating strong magnetic or electric fields (i. e. speakers ...). Before moving the device, ensure the disc tray is empty. Switching off the DVD recorder to the stand-by mode does not disconnect the electricity supply.

Sockets and cables
There are several ways in which you can incorporate your DVD player into an Audio-Video system.The simplest of these is described on page 15. This uses Scart-Peritel cables that combine Audio analogue connections for sound, and Video for the RGB image.This connection ensures the optimum image quality (like Y, U,V). If you cannot use Scart-Peritel sockets, the explanations on this and the followings pages should enable to you to choose the method of connection best suited to the sockets and appliances you have. Sound and image quality depend to a large extent on the types of connections used.
Peritel socket (scart)
1 - AV1 (audio - video Outputs)
This socket allows you to transfer Audio and Video (sound and images) from your DVD recorder to a television set or other device (flat screen, audio­video amplifier, etc.) that is fitted with the same type of socket.The audio signal (sound) available from this socket is analogue stereo and the video signal (images) from the socket can be adapted according to the type of device that will reproduce them.You can select from among RGB, S-Video and Video in the system Option menu on page 65.
In order to benefit from the best image quality, ensure that the RGB, 1H, 2H selector is positioned on RGB.
Note: if you use Y, Pb/Cb Pr/Pb sockets also known as YUV), select the 1H or 2H position depending on the possibilities of the television set or monitor:
• 1H for interlaced scan
• 2H for progressive scan
2 - AV2 (audio - video Input and Output)
This socket allows the sending of Audio Video (sound and images) from your DVD recorder to another device (satellite or cable receiver, …) fitted with the same type of socket.
If you have connected a cable or satellite receiver to this connector,in the system Options menu (on page 64) select the RGB setting in order to benefit from the best image quality for your recordings.
Note: the Péritel socket is also known by the name of Péritélévision or Scart. The latter is an abbreviation of « Syndicat des Constructeurs d’Appareils Radioélectriques et de Télévision ».

3 - Audio - Video Input
Audio inputs (INPUT L, R)
The analogue sound of an operating device (television set or amplifier) can be input via the 2 Audio sockets L and R of your DVD recorder. If you do not use the recommended connection, i.e. the Peritel (Scart) socket, you must, as well as the video connections (CVBS or S-VIDEO) connect the outputs Audio L and R of the operating device to the Audio L and R inputs of your DVD recorder.
Note: the audio sockets and cables are generally identified by a colour code (white for the left channel and red for the right).
Video in - Composite (CVBS) (COMPOSITE VIDEO INPUT)
The yellow video socket also known as composite video (or CVBS): the image quality provided by this socket is less than all the other video sockets. Only use this socket if all the other sockets are already in use.
4 - Audio - Video Output
Audio outputs (OUTPUT L, R)
The digital sound output from a disc being read is permanently available at the two audio sockets, L and R, of your DVD recorder. If you do not use the recommended Peritel (Scart) connection to the television (paragraph 3 page 4), you must, as well as one of the video connections (CVBS or S­VIDEO) connect the Audio outputs, L and R, of your DVD recorder to the Audio inputs, L and R, of your television set (or amplifier).
Note: audio sockets and cables are usually identified by a colour code (white for the left channel and red for the right channel).
Composite Video Out socket (CVBS) (COMPOSITE VIDEO OUTPUT)
The yellow video socket is also called composite video, or CVBS.The image quality delivered by the video socket is the least good of all video connections. Only use this socket if all other sockets are already in use.

Other Audio - Video connections
If no Peritel connector (Scart) on the television set is available, check if it has other Video connectors (Component, S-Video or Composite) in order to connect it to your player using these corresponding connections.. In this case do not forget to also connect the Audio out socket (AUDIO OUT) to the Audio in socket (AUDIO IN) on your TV set.

5 - Composite Video Outputs (Y, Pb/Cb, Pr/Cr) (YUV)
Y, Pb/Cb, Pr/Cr
sockets deliver an optimum image quality due to the separation of the video signal into three separate components (comparable with RGB separation in a Scart-Peritel cable).
Note: the available video signal on these 3 sockets depends on the selection made at the rear (1H or 2H) of your player (page 16).The available signal can be Y, Cb, Cr (1H) for a progressive interlaced or Y, Pr, Pb (2H) for a non interlaced progressive signal (no frame interleave).
In order to obtain the best possible image quality, always use very high quality cables for the connections.Your dealer can provide YUV cables that are sold together and come in the standard colour codes (red, green and blue) used for these types of sockets and cables.
Note: do not forget to also connect the audio cables, because Component cables only transmit images, and not sound.
6 - S-Video Input and Output
S-Video input (Y/C) (S-VIDEO IN)
The S-Video signal is of a lesser quality than that of the RGB signal supplied by the Peritel (Scart) socket.The S-Video signal however gives a better image quality than the composite Video (CVBS) socket (C) since black and white (Y) are separated from colour in the video signal.
Note: do not forget to connect the audio cables since the S-Video cable transmits only images, not sound.
S-Video out socket (Y/C) (S-VIDEO OUT)
The S-Video cable provides a video signal of lower quality than the Peritel (Scart) socket.An S-Video signal however provides a better quality image than a composite Video (CVBS) socket, because colour (C) is separated from black and white (Y) in the video signal.
Note: do not forget to also connect the audio cables, because the S-Video cable transmits images and not sound.
7 - Optical Audio Output (digital sound)
The digital sound of a DVD Video disk when played is permanently available on the optical socket of your player. Use this socket by connecting it to a decoder or Dolby Digital amplifier or DTS.
8 - Digital Audio Video outputs
The HDMI socket permanently delivers very high quality digital sound and pictures.This connection is strongly recommended with a digital television which is fitted with the same socket and is compatible.

About other displays (menus and banners)
Disc menus – Each DVD disc offers a menu, the layout and order of which depend on the editor of the disc.The disc menu is displayed on screen when a DVD disc is loaded and playing has begun.You can also, at any time, display the main menu of the disc by using the
MENU button.
Player banners – while a disc is playing back you can display or remove banners using the
INFO key on the remote control unit.The banners appear in the form of a succession of
icons at the top of the screen (page 41).
Player menus – your DVD recorder has menus enabling you to use functions that are not
accessible using the remote control unit keys.The main Menu of the player is displayed when there is no disc playing (in STOP mode).
Note: settings will only function if the corresponding function has been provided by the editor. For instance, if you select the subtitle icon in the banner, subtitles will only appear if they actually exist on the disc. Check the sleeve to see what subtitles are provided. If a menu or icon appears in “grey” it means that the function is not available.

Remote control
The remote control handset supplied with your DVD recorder is a 3 in 1 type remote control. It allows 6 devices to be controlled: your DVD recorder, a television set, a satellite or cable receiver, a video recorder, an amplifier or another device.Thus you have remote control of all these devices by using the 6 modes: DVD,TV or SAT.CABLE that are accessed by 6 corresponding keys. This page describes the keys that control your DVD recorder (in DVD mode).
Note: the functions described below depend on the discs and/or the files read.
