HOME-ENTERTAINMENT-SYSTEM
A brand new Dimension of Entertainment
LANCASTER by TerraTec
Intelligent entertainment is based on versatility, flexi­bility and user-friendliness.
LANCASTER embodies this ideal in the form of a
modular TV/video concept offering perfection in
technology and design coupled with individually adap­table functionality. Perfect integration allows the unrealized possibilities of each individual system com­ponent to join together to form a home entertain-
ment system par excellence.
The integration of state of the art technologies provi­des not just total visual and audio enjoyment, but also a wide degree of freedom. LANCASTER leaves the standard composition of conventional individual components far behind on account of its enormous functionality within an intelligent structure of per-
fectly harmonized modules, which have the ability to
intercommunicate.
You can integrate analog television into the system just as easily as digital satellite programs. You can record and archive any TV program at the touch of a button or in advance. In addition, you can transfer
films and music from other media into the system
and use them anywhere and at any time. A particu­larly useful function is the timeshifting function which
allows you to watch programs from the start, even if they have already begun.
The system can adapt itself completely to your requi­rements. Its modular structure allows you to create a
tailor-made home entertainment network spread
across several rooms. By integrating your PC or lap-
top you can connect additional capacities for storage
and playback of media data and control of system func­tions in no time at all.

LANCASTER knows how to hide the amount of integrated technology and the complexity of the functions on offer it possesses. Its inner values are reflected in a slimline exterior design which you can adapt to fit in with any environment – be it as an optical highlight or a discreet understa- tement. A greatly reduced control panel, system remote and the intuitive user guide allow you to concentrate on the essential item: pure home entertainment.
LANCASTER IF 701
A brand new Dimension of Entertainment
LANCASTER by TerraTec
The IF 701 is the intelligent center of the LANCA­STER home entertainment system. The interface is not just the bridge between other LANCASTER modules and conventional entertainment electro­nics such as televisions and hi-fi systems, but is also responsible for the control of all system func­tions.
The clearly structured on-screen menus and the ergonomically designed remote control guarantee a high level of convenience and rapid results. This means that you always have all the functions of the LANCASTER system in the palm of your hand: Playback of videos, music and images, recording and timer programming as well as your own per­sonal settings.
Watch and listen to exactly what you want: Analog or digital TV programs, recorded or copied videos, your favorite songs or slide shows of your images.
LANCASTER IF 701 has a wide range of connections to simplify integration. For outputting video signals, there are a Scart output, S-video and Composite sockets available. Audio signals are made available using digital and analog connections.
Now, customized home entertainment knows no boundaries. The standardized network connection of all the Lancaster system modules means that you can connect the IF 701 to the TV receivers AV 701 and DV 701 and, in addition, to integrate the memory module HD 701 or your PC.
Use this network as an intelligent TV and video recorder – either centrally or spread across several rooms.
LANCASTER DV 701
Within the LANCASTER home entertainment sys­tem the DV 701 is responsible for reception of digital TV and radio signals from satellites.
The DVB-S receiver module supports all FTA (Free­To-Air) receivable TV and radio programs. Integra­ted network compatibility allows the signals to be forwarded to additional LANCASTER components or connected PC systems.
You can save your favorites to the LANCASTER network at the touch of a button or using a timer menu without any loss of quality. The timeshifting function allows you to watch a program from the beginning even if it has already begun.
The individual configuration of the home enter­tainment system is possible through the standar­dized network connection of all components on the LANCASTER system. For example, you can connect the DV 701 to your PC or laptop to watch and record TV digitally. Or you can use the IF 701 to directly connect your TV or to control the com­plete system using a single remote control.

LANCASTER AV 701
AV 701 is the analog TV receiver inside the LANCA­STER home entertainment network. Its wide range of connection options, refined functionality and inte­grated network compatibility make it a flexible con­nection for analog TV and video signals.
As it supports all the main European standards, the powerful TV tuner can offer ”unlimited” television. In the LANCASTER network, any program can be recor­ded and archived at the touch of a button or using the timer. Additional highlights are simple video recording and timeshifting, allowing programs to be watched from the beginning, even though they have already started.
LANCASTER by TerraTec
The LANCASTER AV 701 always has the right con­nection: As well as the TV input, video signals can be input using Scart, Composite and S-video. Audio signals can be connected to the system in either analog or digital formats. TV aerials, cable connec­tion, camcorders, video recorders, DVD players or other analog units can be integrated easily and their signals are then distributed to other LANCASTER components.

LANCASTER HD 701
The HD 701 is the modular data memory for the LANCASTER home entertainment system. It is a com ­petent communication memory module of the intelli­gent media server.
An integrated hard drive offers memory space for videos, music and images which are deposited there by other modules of the LANCASTER system and which can be made available again at any time.
The low levels of noise produced by the specially opti­mized hard drive are reduced yet further by noise reduction measures. The result: a memory module which can be seen but not heard.
