GENERAL INFORMATION
About DVDs
A DVD – Digital Versatile Disc – is a digital medium for storing
information. DVDs are marked with one of the symbols shown here.
Languages and subtitles
T here are different types of DVD with different storage capacities
depending on how the information is stored.
DVD structure
Video DVDs are divided into titles and chapters. A DVD may contain
several
titles, which may in turn be made up of several chapters. The titles and
chapters are each numbered sequentially.
The first title of a DVD usually comprises license details and
manufacturer's information. The next title is usually the film itself. Other
titles may include such items as "making of" documentaries, film previews
or information on the actors.
Up to eight languages and subtitles in as many as 32 different languages
can be stored on DVDs. Any combination of languages and subtitles can
be selected for playing back discs.
Regional codes
For reasons connected with global DVD sales strate gy , a code has been
developed for DVDs that allows the recording to be played only on devices
purchased in a particular region.
This code is based on a system that divides the world into six
regions. As Europe is in Zone 2, your DVD player will only play
DVDs that have the regional code 2. The regional code is printed
on the DVD packaging (refer to the following logo).
Apart from DVDs wit h the regional code 2 the unit will only play
DVDs with the regional code 0 (suitable for any DVD player).
If you have problems when playing certain DVDs make sure that the
DVD has the regional code 2 or 0.

DiVX and MPEG 4
MPEG 4 is a compression technology for multimedia/video data ("MPEG" = "Moving
Picture Experts Group").
DiVX is a brand name for a video compression-decompression technology based on
the MPEG 4 format. This player uses DiVx 4 and DiVx 5
technology to ensure that the peak bit rate (short-term peak) never exceeds 10,000 kbps.
MP3 format
The MP3 format is a compression format used for audio data. The MP3 format was
developed to subst antially reduce t he size of audio data. MP3 files can onl y be played
if they have been saved with the file extension *.mp3. U nlike traditional audio CDs,
MP3 CDs can be subdivided into directories (folders, albums) and files (tracks, titles)
– just like a data CD on your computer.
NICAM
NICAM (Near Instantaneous Compounded Audio Multiplex) is a method of digitally
transferring stereo sound that is used in Commonwealth countries, Scandinavia and
Belgium. In addition to a stereo signal it is also possible to receive two different
audio languages. Via the NICAM settings you can therefore select between stereo
and mono reception and two audio languages.
NTSC and PAL
NTSC and PAL are television standards for depicting frames on the TV. This
is because – in contrast to cinema films, which are shown on the projector
lens with 24 images per second on a strip of film – the image on TV and
video must also be divided into frames so that the human eye can perceive
a moving picture.
NTSC (National Television System Committee) works with a 60 Hz image
frequency, i.e. 60 frames per second are displayed, and this corresponds
to 30 full images. NTSC is used in the US and Japan and produces 525 TV
lines.
PAL (Phase Alteration Line), in contrast, works with a 50 Hz image
frequency (although there are now also PAL standards with 60Hz), this
produces 25 full images made up of 50 frames per second. PAL is the TV
standard that is used throughout Europe (except France where the
standard is SECAM), Australia, China, Singapore and Malaysia. It produces
625 TV lines.
PROGRESSIVE SCAN
On a DVD the film is available as information from full images as for a cinema film.
PROGRESSIVE SCAN is an image format that uses this and produces the film in 50
full images instead of 50 frames per second. This
reduces flickering images to a minimum and displays movements in a more
fluid manner. The requirement for playing back in the PROGRESSIVE SCAN format
is that your TV can also process it. If your TV has a so-called "Progressive
Scan" function use the component outputs to connect the Yakumo Record
Master HDD to the TV so that you receive the best image quality.
The PROGRESSIVE SCAN does not work with a SCART connection.
6
Surround sound formats
Dolby Digital 5.1
In Dolby Digital sound format the audio material is saved digitally.. In
this instance, up to five separate full-frequency audio channels (front
left and front right, centre, rear left and rear right) as well as an effect
Showview/Video Plus
VPS/PDC
or depth channel (5.1) are stored separately. Discs and media recorded
in the Dolby Digital format are marked with the trademarks shown here.
Because each channel is completely independent, a realistic, almost
three-dimensional" effect is produced, creating the impression of
distance, movement, and relative position in the room.
dts (Digital Theater Systems)
The dts abbreviation is used for a less frequently used sound format in
which up to 6 (5.1) se parate channels a re saved to a sound m edium.
Discs and media recorded in the dts format are marked with the
trademarks shown here. Your Yakumo Record Master HDD can read
this audio data in Dolby-Digital 5.1format and dts format and transfers
it for decoding t o the digital outputs("DIGITAL OU T)". However, it
can not playback the sound of a dts sound medium itself.
VIDEO Plus+ is a simple programming aid for video recording devices.
Simply enter the programming number listed for the programme in
your TV guide. The Yakumo Record Master HDD then adopts the start
and duration of the recording in the timer. VIDEO Plus+ and Plus Code
are registered trademarks of Gemstar Development Corporation. The
VIDEO Plus+ system is produced under licence from the Gemstar
Development Corporation.
The PDC (Programme Delivery Control) or VPS (Video Programming
or lasts longer than stated in the guide the Yakumo Record Master
HDD still switches itself on and off at the correct time. The VPS/PDC
times for a programme are found in your TV guide. If you programme
a recording tim e that varies from the VPS/PDC tim e you must switch
the PDC function off.

CONNECTIONS AND CONNECTION OPTIONS
The Yakumo Record Master HDD can be connected in various ways to other
input and output devices:
☐ to a television
☐ to an amplifier/receiver
☐ to a video recorder
☐ to other audio/ vi deo devices
Make sure that all devices are switched off before connecting them.
Only connect the units to the mains when the other connections are
comple
te.
Notes on the connections
☐ Most of the cables have coloured pins. To make installing the device
easier, always use the pin and the connector socket with the same colour
when connecting two devices together.
☐ If the aerial cable from your aerial or cable system is connected to the
Yakumo Record Master HDD, and another aerial cable connects the
recorder to the television set, you can watch TV channels even when the
Yakumo Record Master HDD is in standby mode.
☐ The Yakumo Record Master HDD should not be indirectly connected to
the television set via a video recorder as this will significantly impair the
quality of the picture.
9
Connecting the aerial cable
If you connect the Yakumo Record Master HDD to a TV
you must create an aerial connection between the TV, DVD/HDD
recorder and aerial so that the device can receive and record TV
programmes.
The following connection examples require an aerial connection and
only image and sound transfer types to the TV or external devices
have been listed.
` Connect the aerial cable that leads to the wall socket to the aerial input
(ANTENNA IN) on the Yakumo Record Master HDD.
` Connect a second aerial cable (e. g. the one supplied) to the aerial input
(ANTENNA IN) on the television and the aerial out put (ANTENNA
OUT) on the Yakumo Record Master HDD
Connecting the TV
With a SCART cable
The SCART cable is the simplest connection between the DVD/HDD
recorder and the TV.
As long as your television can process RGB signals you will get a very good
quality image from this option.
.
10
With S-VIDEO and audio cinch cable
If your TV does not have a SCART connection you can also connect it to the
S-VIDEO output via an S-VIDEO cable (S-VIDEO OUT) on the Yakumo
Record Master HDD. This will provide good image quality.
To transfer the sound you can use an audio cinch cable (red/white) or the AV
audio cable supplied (red/white).
With cinch (AV) cables
If your TV has neither a SCART connection nor a S-VIDEO socket you can
also connect the Yakumo Record Master HDD with an audio cinch cable
(red/white) and a video cinch cable (yellow) to the AUDIO/VIDEO IN
socket of the TV (AUDIO OUT/VIDEO OUT socket on the Yakumo
Record Master HDD).
11
About the component connections
If your television has a "Progressive Scan" function the best image quality
will be achieved vi a the component outputs (Y, CB/PB, Cr/Pr on the rear of
the device). An increased image frequency is created using the Progressive
Scan procedure. This reduces flickering images to a minimum and displays
movements in a more fluid manner.
It goes without saying that your TV must be able to process this format for
it to be used. The Progressive Scan transfer only works when connecting
the component connections (COMPONENT VIDEO OUT) with a
three-pole component cable (red/blue/green). The PROGRESSIVE SCAN
does not work wit h a SCART connection .
To transfer the sound you can again use the audio cinch cable (red/white):
To playback the Progressive Scan image you have to press the NTSC/PAL
button on the remote control to select the Progressive Scan format.
You can only select this format if the YCrCb On
menu option is activated in the SETUP > VIDEO > Video Output
menu.
Only activate this point if your TV has the "Progressive Scan" function
otherwise the picture goes black.
Instead of the TV you can also connect a projector, for example.
12
Connecting another external audio or video device
Connecting an audio device
You can also connect another audio device, such as a minidisc player or
cassette recorder, to the Yakumo Record Master HDD, e.g. to record the
sound from
this device to the Yakumo Record Master HDD. To do so connect an audio
cinch
cable (red/white) to the external device's AUDIO OUT socket and the
audio socket (AV1 IN) on the Yakumo Record Master HDD.
Connecting video devices
You can also use your Yakumo Record Master HDD to record signals
from another
video device, such as a SAT receiver, video camera, video recorder or
DVD player. To do so connect the external video device to the SCART
input on the Yakumo Record Master HDD (DECODER):
13
You can also connect a decoder or set-top box (e. g. a Canal+ decoder) to
the SCART input. To do so set the DECODER entry in the
SETUP>CHANNEL SETUP menu to ON (“Decoder”,Page 22).
Connecting a video camera
There are audio and video inputs on the front of the device to enable you
to connect such items as a video camera easily.
Connect the AV output sockets on the video camera to the inputs on the
Yakumo Record Master HDD. You can use the following cable connections:
14
Home cinema connection
One benefit of DVD is saving and playing back multi-channel sound. Your
Yakumo Record Master HDD can playback 5.1 sound on home cinema
systems with a 5.1 speaker system. To do so connect the device to an
amplifier with a 5.1 input. You can use both the analogue and digital outputs
for this purpose.
Analogue sound transfer
Connect the audio cinch cable for the speakers with the 5.1 output on the
Yakumo Record Master HDD and the relevant inputs on the amplifier.
To transfer the image you can use the connection options described in the
"Connecting the TV" chapter:
15
If the AUDIO SETUP on the Yakumo Record Master HDD is not
correctly set up for your AV amplifier/receiver the sound may
not be transferred to outputs the voice on the DVD).
Digital sound transfer
Connect either a coaxial cable or an optical cable to the COAXIAL or
OPTICAL output on the Yakumo Record Master HDD and the corresponding inpu t
on the amplifier. For image transfer you can again either use an S-Video
cable, a video cinch cable or a SCART cable.
