About your device

Your appliance is a digital video player/recorder. It has a built-in tuner so you can record TV programmes directly onto DVD+R and DVD+RW discs or onto the built-in 250 Go hard disk. It can play the majority of 8 cm and 12 cm discs, with the exception of DVD Rom, DVD Ram, and DVD audio.

Precautions to take

• Ensure that the mains supply in your house complies with that indicated on the identification sticker located at the back of your device • Install your device horizontally, on a suitable base (furniture), with enough space around it for ventilation (7 to 10 cm) • Ensure that the ventilation slots, and the device itself, are not covered by objects such as a mat, newspapers, curtain, etc. • 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. In order to separate the device completely from the mains, it has to be disconnected by unplugging the mains plug.When connecting, ensure that the plugs of the various cables are pushed securely into their corresponding sockets.Your DVD recorder is not intended for industrial use but for domestic purposes only. Use of this product is for personal use only. Copying CDs or downloading music files for sales or other business purpose is or may be a violation of copyright law.

There are several ways you can incorporate your DVD player into its audio-video surroundings. The simplest of these is described in detail in the Quick Set-up Guide supplied with this handbook. 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.

Consult the

Quick Set-up

Guide (B).

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. In order to benefit from the best image quality, ensure that the is positioned on

Note: if you use Y, Pb/Cb Pr/Pb sockets also known as YUV), select the Component Interlaced or Component Progressive position depending on the possibilities of

the television set or monitor:

RGB (AV1).

• Component Interlaced for interlaced scan,

• Component Progressive for progressive scan.

OUTPUT SEL selector

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 select the RGB (AV1) 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 ».

Page 5

Connections and initial set up

Other Audio - Video connections

If there is no Peritel-Scart socket available on the television, check to see if there are any other Video sockets (Components, S-Video or Composite) to connect your player by using the corresponding sockets. In this case, do not forget to also connect the player’s Audio outputs (AUDIO OUT) to the Audio input sockets (AUDIO IN) on your television.

3 - Audio - Video Input

Audio (INPUT L, R) Video - Composite (CVBS) (COMPOSITE VIDEO INPUT) inputs

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.

The yellow video socket is also called 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) Composite Video Out socket (CVBS) (COMPOSITE VIDEO OUTPUT)

Analogue sound output and composite images (CVBS) from the disc being played are constantly available at your DVD recorder's two audio sockets (L & R) and video socket.

5 - Composite Video Outputs (Y,Pb/Cb, Pr/Cr) (YUV)

The 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 (Component Interlaced or Component Progressive) of your player.The available signal can be Y, Cb, Cr (Component Interlaced) for a progressive interlaced or Y, Pr, Pb (Component Progressive) 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.

Page 6

Connections and initial set up

6 - S-Video Input and Output

S-Video input/output (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.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 connect the audio cables since the S-Video cable transmits only images, 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.

HDMI connection, image adjustment

If you connect your DVD recorder to a TV set using the HDMI OUT socket, make sure the selector at the rear of your recorder is set to Component Progressive.

If no image comes up on your TV screen and you're sure its set to HDMI (via the on-screen menu or other means), try the following resolution adjustment:

- In STOP mode (with no disc in the appliance), press the ZOOM button on the remote control several times to adjust the resolution of the HDMI OUT socket output signals to 480p,720p, or 1080i.These changes are displayed on your recorder’s read-out.

Note: for an S-video or normal video connection (yellow socket), leave the selector set to RGB.

HDMI connection, sound adjustment

The sound available from the HDMI OUT output socket can be adjusted in the Digital Audio Out menu (Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG).

To play DivX files

Your player is an Officially Certified DivX™ device. It can play DivX®5, DivX®4, DivX®3 and

DivX

VOD files according to the DivX Certified™ technical specifications. The correct playing of DivX in your player, depends on the preparation and production of the audio and video files, the codecs used, the type of recording equipment employed and the parameters of your computer. It is therefore possible that you cannot play a DivX file or that part or all of it is defective. It can also sometimes happen that you can play the images (video) but not the sound (audio).

Note:To guarantee playback of DivX files the audio must be mp3 format. DivX Certified devices can play back any interleaved mp3 audio at any bitrate, both CBR and VBR. The audio must be sampled at standard frequencies, such as 32 khz, 44.1khz, and 48khz, and must conform to the AVI file specification. Apart from mp3, the audio formats recognised by your player are MPEG layer 1/2,AC3, DTS, PCM.The most common is mp3. Formats such as AAC and Ogg Vorbis are not supported by this player.

To rent (purchase) DivX® VOD files

DivX VOD files are comparable to rental video DVD discs.They both allow you to view the video (film).The difference lies in the access to the media. DivX VOD files are downloaded after paying a rental from certain commercial Internet sites. In order to permit the downloading of VOD you need to input on the purchase form of the site, the registration number of your DVD player.

You can find your player's registration number using the System Options (DivX) menu. Write down this VOD 8 character recording number, in order to complete the form on the web

site where you purchase your DivX

Note: If you cannot play a DivX VOD file, recorded on a CD-R disc after downloading, it is possible that the rental period allocated during purchasing from the web site has expired. It may also be that the recorded file is incompatible with your player because of different versions or incorrect download parameters.The parameters used during the copying to CD-R may also be a cause. Since it is not possible here to supply all the information, parameters and advice relating to the use of DivX®VOD files, we recommend that you visit a specialised web site such as www.divx.com/vod.

Concerning DivX files

You can find DivX files for download as well as generating them your self from your own content. In the same way as mp3 files are used for audio, DivX and mpeg4 can be used for video. Files can be recorded from your computer on to a CD-R or RW disc, which, owing to the much higher compression than that used for DVDs can contain a complete movie. The DivX, XviD and RV9 formats are all file formats using the same type of compression known as MPEG-4.Though these formats all utilize a different codec.

A note on copying: before making use of DivX or mpeg4 files, please be sure of their origin and that you have legally purchased or rented the content. Pirate copying is illegal and may result in sanctions. Private copies of your own material for your own use may be legal in some countries. Make sure you are aware of applicable laws.

Further information

Recommendations and information concerning discs (12 cm)

Choice of CD-R / CD-RW discs

This player can play most CD-R and CD-RW discs. However, depending on the recorder of your personal computer, the type of disc and recording method used, it may be that some discs cannot be played, or that the performance does not meet the expected standard of quality.When playing a CD-R disc, it is completely normal for the unit to take up to 20 seconds to recognize the disc before starting to play. If the disc is not recognized after a period of 20 seconds, remove the disc, and then insert it again.

• Whatever the actual recording capacity of a

disc, do not fill it to maximum capacity.

• Use CD-R discs rather than CD-RW (re-

recordable CDs), as replay of CD-RWs may sometimes not work properly.

• Use a reliable and good quality recording

software.

• Before recording on a disc, close all applications

on you personal computer in order to optimise the quality and reliability of recordings on the disc.

Video CD (VCD) discs)

VCD (Video Compact Disc) discs enable up to 74 minutes of VHS quality video associated with still pictures, audio tracks and interactive menus to be recorded on a CD.

About DVD+R,+RW discs

Choose good quality discs.To avoid any problems, choose brands such as: Imation, Maxell, Philips, Ricoh,Verbatim, Sony, etc...

Disc Formatting

When you insert a DVD+RW disc for the first time, your DVD recorder must format the disc. This operation will take several minutes,but you may begin recording onto the disc shortly after the formatting process starts (around 10 to 20 seconds). During these few seconds, the display indicates FORMAT DSC.

Care of discs

Always handle your discs with care. Hold a disc with fingers on the border or hole.Always place disc with the label facing upward (in case of a single-sided disc).Always place the disc properly into the tray using the proper guide area.Always use a soft cloth to clean discs if necessary, wipe from the centre to the border.Always put discs back into their cases after playing and store in a vertical position. Never use record cleaning sprays, benzine, static electricity liquids or any other solvent, if the disc surface is dirty.Wipe gently with a soft damp (water only) cloth, never wipe the disc in a circular motion, since circular scratches are likely to occur and could cause

noise during playback.

Image files and CD-R / CD-RW discs

To view your JPEG images on a TV set you do not need to record your photographs with a resolution above 400,000 pixels (which corresponds to an image format of about 720 x 576 dots), for television screens do not allow a higher quality given their limited characteristics. In this case ensure that you reduce the quality of your photographs before recording on a disc in order not to impede the proper running of your player.This is because excessively loaded pictures would slow down or might prevent the proper functioning of the slide show during playback on your player. Compatibility of JPEG files depends on the software on which they were created and on the size of files expressed in pixels. Some JPEG files, including Progressive JPEG files (display in stages) cannot be played on this appliance.

Audio files and CD-R / CD-RW discs

In the case of discs that include mp3 files, follow not only the general recommendations for CD-R and CD-RW discs,but also the following specific recommendations.

• The format of your mp3 files must be ISO 9660 or JOLIET.These files are compatible with DOS and Windows applications, as well as with Mac OS.

• Your mp3 files must have a name no longer than 12 characters as well as the suffix “.mp3”.They must be recorded in the form: title.mp3. Ensure that you do not leave spaces or use special characters such as ( . , / , \ , = ,+) in the name.

• Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128 kb/sec (kilobytes/second) when recording mp3 files. Sound quality with mp3 files basically depends on the rate of compression/decompression you choose.To obtain sound quality equivalent to that of an audio CD,use files for which the sampling rate during conversion from analogue audio to mp3 format is between 128 kbps and 160 kbps. Higher compression rates, such as 192 kbps or more, will only rarely improve sound quality. Conversely, files with sampling rates below 128 kb/sec will not be played properly.

• Do not attempt to record protected mp3 files. Such files are coded and protected.

Important:The above recommendations cannot be taken as a guarantee that the DVD player will play mp3 recordings,or as an assurance of sound quality.You should note that certain technologies and methods for mp3 file recording on CD-Rs prevent optimal playback of these files on your DVD player (that is degraded sound quality and even, in some cases, inability of the player to read the file or files).

Further information

DivX files and CD-R / CD-RW discs

DivX is a compression format answering the MPEG-4 standard and that allows an entire film to be contained on a single CD.

The compatibility of DivX formats depends on MPEG-4 coding software, disc design software and the recording software employed, as well as the discs themselves.

What codecs can your player read?

• Playback of DivX 3.11 content • Playback of DivX 4 files (MPEG-4 simple profile) • Playback of DivX 5 files (MPEG-4 simple profile and additional functions such as bi-directional frames. Qpel and GMC are not supported) • Resolutions up to 720 x 480 at 30fps and 720 x 576 at 25fps are supported • Macroblocks per second 40500 • Maximum average bitrate 4000 kbps • Maximum peak bitrate during any 3 seconds of video 10000 kbps • Minimum VBV buffer size (kbytes) 384k bytes.

For DivX 3.11 content at Home Theater Profile, the required average bitrate is 1000 kbps, and the required maximum peak bitrate is 4000 kbps. Mpeg4 and Xvid content may or may not play back depending on the exact recording method and codec used.

Using the remote control unit correctly

When you use remote control,point the unit at the appliance you want to control (DVD recorder, TV set or satellite receiver). Ensure that there is no obstacle between the remote control unit and the appliance, otherwise the infrared signal carrying the remote control commands will be blocked.To control your DVD recorder, ensure that the remote control unit is in DVD mode by pressing once on the DVD key before using any other keys.

AV Link function

Your DVD recorder is equipped with the

function.This function simplifies channel set-

Link

up by downloading them from an AV Link or similar television set (Easy Link, Smart Link, Megalogic, etc.) which is already set up.The channels downloaded in this way keep the same characteristics as those of your TV set (same number, name, etc.).Your DVD recorder’s AV Link downloading function is enabled (factory setting). When first turning on the DVD recorder, if the television is turned on, it will download the channels already installed in your television set.

Adjusting the G-LINK CABLE

The IR (infrared) controller cell must face the receiver cell of the satellite receiver.You can locate the receiver cell of the satellite receiver by bringing its remote control as close as possible to the front of the device and trying to change channels. Move the remote control one centimetre and try again.When the channel of the satellite receiver changes, locate the position on the front of the unit.Then install the IR controller cell as shown on the diagram below, facing the cell of the satellite receiver (1 or 2 cm away). If need be, use the adhesive supplied to stick the cell in place.

Record

Your DVD recorder has recording functions similar to a video recorder. It lets you record programmes to a disc in the DVD family DVD (DVD+R, DVD+RW) or to the internal hard disc (DVR or HDD). For the same disc, the recording time depends on the quality settings that you can adjust according to the time left on the disc.The recording may be immediate or deferred.The recording may be immediate or deferred.

NICAM sound

NICAM sound is digital, compatible with analogue tv sets. It is broadcast by certain channels and relayed by certain emmiters in some European countries. NICAM (Near Instantaneously Companded Audio Multiplex) is also used to broadcast Dolby Surround stereophonic programmes or for simultaneous broadcasting in two languages or for two different sounds (intended for blind and poorly sighted people).

Downloading of Naviclick data

the downloading of Naviclick data (at 3am or 8am) can be quite long (up to 2 hours). During this time you should not use your DVD recorder, nor turn it on or have a programme programmed for recording during this updating time (from 3am to 5am or 8am to 10am) otherwise the information will be lost. For countries that provide the NexTView service we recommend that you set the downloading time to 3am.The full guide of TV programmes can only be consulted the following day after an initial installation. It is necessary to allow your DVD recorder to download the guide at the time set in the

Naviclick Setup menu .

Remote control

The remote control doesn’t work

• To control your DVD recorder, you must first

press the DVD key of the remote control.

• Point the remote control at the front of your DVD recorder, not at your TV set.

• The operating range of the remote control is 6 to 8 metres. It gradually decreases as the batteries wear down.This is a good indicator of the state of the batteries.When the batteries require replacing, the signal lamp on the remote control flashes when you use it.

• Make sure no objects (or animals) are in the path of the infrared beam between the remote control and your DVD recorder.They may block the beam and thereby cause a malfunction of your DVD recorder.

• The recorder is in copy mode. COPYING appears on the display.

The remote control of your DVD recorder also controls another device

• Some DVD players made by the Thomson group (Thomson, Brandt, Ferguson, Saba, Telefunken) react to the same codes.To avoid this inconvenience, you can program your DVD recorder and its remote control so they have a different code to those of the other devices.

The remote control and the DVD recorder don’t work anymore: everything seems blocked

• Unplug your DVD recorder from the mains for a few moments and plug it back in.

Image problems

You don’t see any picture

• Turn on your TV set and your DVD recorder.

• On your TV set, select the socket which receives the signals from your DVD recorder (AV1,TV1,AUX1,etc., depending on the make, if connected).

• Make sure that all sockets are well pushed into the various sockets.

The colours aren’t natural

• Check that the scart cables are well pushed into the sockets of the various devices.

• Check the settings Output AV1, Input AV2 and Output PAL/NTSC (System Options menu).

The image format doesn’t match the screen format of your TV set

• The image format is adjustable.With certain discs, the format is pre-set and cannot be changed.

Sound problems

No sound

• Check that the DTS,Dolby Digital and MPEG settings are suited to the specifications of the device connected to the digital audio sockets (coaxial or optical).

The sound is very low or inaudible

• The sound of the TV set has been cut or set at a very low level. Press the ( ) key on your TV set’s remote control and/or adjust the volume on your TV set (or amplifier,if such is the case).

Page 39

Further information

You can’t change the camera angle

• Most DVDs do not have multiple viewing angles. When this option is available, it usually only applies to a few scenes.

There is no sound with the image

• Is the volume turned down? The audio codec of your player cannot play DivX files with the most recent codecs.

• The majority of applications on your computer require the video and audio to be coded separately.The two flows are mixed after coding. More information on this can be found using the various Internet search engines.

Playing problems

The DVD doesn’t play,even when you press the PLAY button

• The disc rating is higher than the limit that you have set.

Fast forward or rewind doesn’t work

• Some discs have scenes which do not allow fast forwarding, rewinding or chapter skips.When a command is prohibited or is not available for the current section or operating mode, a prohibition sign ( ) appears on-screen for a few moments.

Your DivX files won’t play

• Check that the file is actually DivX.

When you encounter problems make sure that: the file that you are trying to play actually contains DivX video.The files often use the term “DivX” in their filename even though they have in fact been coded in another format.

Problems playing DivX version 5.1 and the version 2.5 player

• With certain recent version,coding problems may arise with DivX files which are related directly to the capacities of your computer. The coding may require the entire capacity of the microprocessor and alter the quality of the image or desynchronise the image and the sound.

The display or reading of digital images in JPEG format is slow

• Image display can take a fairly long time, depending on the size of the images. If the images are too “bulky”, your DVD recorder may not be able to display them correctly.

Recording problems

You cannot record on the disc

• If a message is displayed on the screen, press

the CLEAR/EXIT key of the remote control to remove it.

• Check that you are using a DVD+R or DVD+RW disc.

• Perhaps the DVD+R disc is temporarily locked or definitively locked.If it is definitively locked you can no longer record on it.If it is temporarily locked you can unlock it.

• You cannot record on the same disc both video images and JPEG photos or mp3 music. Use different DVD+R/+RW discs for each type of recording.

• Dirt and finger prints may affect the recording and playback. Please see page 68 of your User Manual for information about proper handling of discs and proper disc cleaning.

Other problems

Reconfiguring your player’s initial set-up

• Open the disc tray and make sure there is no disc in it. Close the disc tray.Hold down the STOP key of your DVD recorder, then press the ON/STANDBY key by holding it down for 3 seconds, until INIT is displayed on the screen of your DVD recorder.When MENU reappears on your display,turn off and then turn on your DVD recorder using the ON/STANDBY button on the front.The menu displayed on-screen is the menu which enables you to choose your DVD recorder’s display language. It confirms that all settings made since initial installation have been deleted. The DVD recorder has been reconfigured as it was when purchased (factory settings). Refer to page 5 of this manual to restart the installation of your DVD recorder.

If you forget your password

• Open the player’s disc tray and ensure that there is no disc on it. Close the tray.The player menu is now displayed on the TV screen. Now press the STOP key on your player and hold the STOP key on the remote control unit down for 3 seconds.The password that you chose for parental control is cancelled.
