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. 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.
Languages and subtitles
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 connec t ed with global DVD sa l es strategy, a code has be en 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 with 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 substantially reduce the si ze of audio data. MP3 fil e s can only be played if they have been sa ved with the file extension *.mp3. Unlike 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.
7
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 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) separate channels are sa ved to a sound medium. 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 to t he digital outputs("DIGITAL OUT)". However, it can not playback the sound of a dts sound medium itself.
Showview/Video Plus
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 adop ts 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.
VPS/PDC
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 time that varies from the VPS /PDC time you must sw i tch 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, alway s 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.
10
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 output (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.
11
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).
12
About the component connections
If your television has a "Progressive Scan" function the best image quality will be achieved via 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 with 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.
13
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):
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).
14
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:
15
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:
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).
16
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 input on the amplifier. For image transfer you can again either use an S-Video cable, a video cinch cable or a SCART cable.

You can playback and write the following disk formats with your DVD/ HDD recorder. Writable formats: The device can write blank DVD+/-R and DVD+/-RW discs.
Readable formats: The device can read DVD Video, SVCD, DVD+RW, DVD+R, CD-R, DVD-RW, DVD-R, CD-RW, Audio-CD, MP3, JPEG, DivX and MPEG 4 formats.
We cannot guarantee that DVDs you have written will be playable on other DVD devices. Please refer to Finalise DVD,Page 52 on this.
Formatting discs
To record to an unused DVD+/-R and DVD+/-RW you first have to format the blank DVD in the recorder's drive. After you have inserted a blank DVD and the recorder has started the read process, a query as to whether the disc is to be formatted is displayed. This process is frequently also called initialising. Formatting usually takes around 1 minute.
` To start confirm the OK entry by pressing ENTER.
You can also open this function via the DISC>Format Disc menu.

Memory media: DVD+/-R and DVD+/-RW and hard disk
DVD+RW
DVD+/- RWs can be written and deleted again but repeated recording and
deleting worsens the recording quality. Please also note that you can delete a title on a DVD+/- RW but the memory space freed up can only be used in consecutive blocks. The following graphic shows as an example that Title1 has been recorded and this takes up 20% of the DVD's memory capacity. In the second example, Title2 was recorded and this takes up 30% of the memory capacity.
If, as in the third example, the first title is deleted the memory space is only available from the end of the second title, i.e. 50%.
It may not be possible to record to a DVD+/- RW that already contains recordings from another Yakumo Record Master HDD or a computer. If you are still able to record on a DVD+/-RW that was produced by another recorder your Yakumo Record Master HDD creates a new DVD menu. If the DVD+/- RW contains data that were produced by a computer it is deleted by the recorder.
DVD+/- R
DVD+/- R discs can only be written once and no other new recordings can be added after a DVD+/-R has been finalised. Finalising means making the DVD+/-R compatible for other devices so that they can be played on them (Refer to Finalise DVD, P. 52).
Hard disk drive (HDD)
You can delete recordings from the integrated hard disk and write new recordings to the hard disk at any time.
You can save up to 49 titles on the two media (DVD and hard disk).

SECURITY menu
Rating
Some DVDs and CDs are coded with encryption signals. DVDs can be subdivided into eight different authorization classes. The assignment of a DVD to an authorization class depends on which country code is set (refer to "Country Code" chapter below).
We list below the authorization classes established by the Motion Picture Association: UNLOCK: No parental control code
LEVEL 8 (Adult): only for adults; LEVEL 7: not for young people under 17; LEVEL 6: for young people under 17 parental supervision strictly
recommended;
LEVEL 5: for young people under 17 parent supervision
recommended;
LEVEL 4: parental supervision strictly recommended;
some scenes not suitable for children under 13; LEVEL 3: parental supervision recommended; LEVEL 2: for all age groups; LEVEL 1 (Kid): suitable even for small children.
For example , if you have inserted a DVD that is coded with authorization class 7 (NC 17) or 8 (ADULT) and you have selected authorization classes 1 to 6, a message appears and the viewer must enter a password. Parts of a DVD – certain scenes, for example – may also be encoded with an authorization class or a range of authorization classes.
Set Password
You can change the factory password here. ` Confirm the Change option. A four-digit "Password" field is displayed. Enter the old password (the master password is: 3308). A four-digit

TROUBLESHOOTING
If errors occur, check first whether you can correct the problem yourself. The following overview may help you.
POSSIBLE CAUSE / REMEDY
Firstly carry out initial setup as the buttons on the front of the device are
locked until this has been carried out.
Check the mains connection: Is the plug firmly inserted in the mains socket? Press STANDBY/ON on the remote control or device. If the device has been disturbed by a storm, static charge or other external factor try the following: Press STANDBY/ON on the device (Standby mode). Then pull out the mains cable and plug it back in.
Is the disc inserted with the title (printed) side facing upwards? Check whether the disc is damaged by trying another disc. If the disc is dirty, clean it carefully, wiping it from the centre to the edge with a soft dry cloth. Does the inserted disc have a format that can not be played? For commercial DVDs: Does the DVD have the correct regional code ? Refer to Regional codes,P.6 If condensation has formed in the device: give the player one to two hours to dry off. Check whether the batteries need changing and have been inserted correctly. Remove anything which may be blocking the signal between the infrared transmitter, the remote control and the device's sensor. Is the distance between the remote control and the player too great (over 7m)? Are the cable connections between the DVD and television correct and undamaged? Is the television switched on? Have you selected the video channel on the television? Has the correct function been selected (DVD)? Have you selected the correct video output on the DVD player? Have you selected the YCrCb/RGB Off option in VIDEO-SETUP but the TV is connected to the Yakumo Record Master HDD via a SCART cable? To restore the picture connect the video cinch output of the DVD/HDD
recorder to the video cinch input of the TV (yellow cinch plug) and if
necessary set the correct input on the TV. Then in VIDEO-SETUP select RGB On again. Do you need to carry out the channel scan again?
Check whether the DVD is dirty and if necessary clean it carefully, wiping it from the centre to the edge with a soft, dry cloth. Slight picture distortion is not a malfunction.
Your DVD's standard may not match that of your TV (NTSC/PAL button). A video output signal has been selected that the TV does not support (NTSC/PAL-button). In the SETUP menu > VIDEO SETUP > Screen Format, check
54
whether the format selected matches that of the TV set. Has the sound been switched off (MUTE)? Check the audio connections. Wrong audio output settings. The DVD playback is set to fast forward or slow motion. Check the audio settings in the SETUP menu: has the correct sound format been selected?
