SAFETY

INFORMATION

About this manual
Please read these instructions carefully before use. Take note of any warnings on the appliance and in the manual. Always keep the operating manual close to hand. If you sell or give the device away, make sure you also hand over this manual.
Electrical equipment does not belong in the hands of children.
Never allow children to use electrical devices unattended. Batteries and accumulators can endanger life if swallowed. The appliance and the batteries should, therefore, be kept out of the reach of children. If a battery is swallowed, seek immediate medical help. You should also keep the plastic packaging out of the reach of children - danger of suffocation.
Position the appliance safely.
Place the appliance on a solid, flat surface. The appliance is not designed for operation in high humidity (e.g. in bathrooms). Ensure that the the ventilation slits are not covered and that ventilation is unimpeded, the appliance is not affected by any direct source of heat (e.g. room heaters), the appliance is not standing in direct sunlight, the appliance does not come into contact with humidity, water or splashes (do not, for example, stand vases on the appliance), the appliance is not adjacent to sources of magnetic fields, such as television receivers or loudspeakers, the appliance is not near naked flames, such as burning candles.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Never attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
If the plug, supply cable or the appliance is damaged or water or foreign objects get inside the appliance, pull the plug immediately. Never switch on if the plug, supply cable or the appliance is damaged. No objects may get inside the appliance, e.g. through the ventilation slots. These could cause short-circuits or damage components. To unplug, pull on the plug itself and never on the cable. Never try to open and/or repair the appliance yourself. There is a danger of electric shock. In the event of a fault, contact our service centre or another qualified workshop.

Thunderstorms

If you are away for a long time or a thunderstorm is threatening, pull the mains and antenna plugs.

The CD/DVD recorder

The DVD recorder is a class 1 laser product. The appliance has a safety system that prevents the emission of dangerous laser radiation during normal use. To avoid eye injuries, never manipulate or damage the safety system.
Dispose of batteries correctly.
Used batteries do not belong in the household waste. The batteries can be handed in to a collection point or a specialist retailer for disposal.

Cleaning the appliance

Before cleaning, pull the plug. Use a dry soft cloth for cleaning. Avoid chemical solvents and cleaners, as these can damage the surfaces and/or lettering of the appliance.

GENERAL

About DVD
The DVD - Digital Versatile Disc is a storage medium for digital information. DVDs are marked with one of the adjacent symbols. Depending on how the information is recorded, there are different types of DVD with differing storage capacities.

DVD structure

Video DVDs are divided into titles and chapters. A DVD can have a number of titles, each consisting of a number of chapters. Titles and chapters are serially numbered: Normally, the first title of a DVD consists of license notices and information about the manufacturer. The next title is usually the film itself. Further titles can be, for example, "Making of" reports, film previews or information about the cast. Languages and subtitles DVDs can store sound tracks in up to eight languages and subtitles in up to 32 languages. Sound track language and subtitle language can be mixed as you wish.

Regional codes

In support of worldwide sales strategies, regional coding was developed which only allows DVDs to be played on players purchased in certain regions. This code is based on a system that divides the world into six regions. Europe is in zone 2. On your DVD player, you can only play DVDs with regional code 2. The regional code is printed on the pakkaging of the DVD (see adjacent logo). In addition to DVDs with regional code 2, you can play DVDs with regional code 0 (no regional limitation) on your appliance. If you have problems playing certain DVDs, check that they have regional code 2 or 0.

DVD blanks

Your recorder can write two kinds of DVD blanks: DVD+RW: DVD ReWritable blanks can be written a number of times. They can be played on other DVD players without fixation (see "Finalize DVD (DVD+R only)", p. 28). DVD+R: DVD+R blanks (once-writable DVDs) cannot be played on other DVD players without fixation. Although a recording on a DVD+R blank can be deleted, it cannot be overwritten.

MP3 format

MP3 is a compression format for audio data. The MP3 format was developed to provide extremely high compression of audio data. To be recognised as such, MP3 files must be saved with the corresponding.mp3 filename extension. Unlike the usual audio CD, an MP3 CD can be subdivided, in the same way as a computer data CD, into directories (folders, albums) and files (tracks, titles).
Available surround sound formats

Dolby Digital 5.1

This format uses digitally recorded sound with up to five separate full-bandwidth audio channels (front left, right and middle, rear left and right) and an effects or base channel (5.1) recorded separately. Material with sound in Dolby Digital format is marked with the adjacent trademark. As the channels are completely independent, a three-dimensional impression can be created with clarity of distance, movement and relative position. Your DVD recorder can read these audio data and passes them to the digital outputs (DIGITAL OUT) for decoding. It cannot, however, decode the sound from a dts recording itself. Trademarks "Dolby", "Pro Logic" and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Labora-tories. The term "dts" is a trademark of DTS Technology, LLC.
dts (Digital Theatre System)
The abbreviation dts denotes a sound format that is, as yet, not very widespread but also provides for the recording of up to six (5.1) separate channels. Material with sound in dts format is marked with the adjacent trademark. Your DVD recorder can read these audio data and passes them to the digital outputs (DIGITAL OUT) for decoding. It cannot, however, decode the sound from a dts recording itself.

Prograssive Scan

Your recorder has standard, video, SCART (Peritel), S video, and component outputs. With an S video connection, the picture quality is better than with a simple cinch video connection. A SCART connection can yield still better picture quality than an S video connection. If your TV receiver has a progressive scan capability, the best picture quality will be obtained by using the component video outputs. Using progressive scan, the picture frequency is higher, flicker is minimised and motion is better resolved. The requirement is, of course, that your TV receiver can process this format. Progressive scan does not work with a SCART or any other video connection.

PREPARATION

Unpack the appliance
Remove all packing material, including the protective foils on the front of the appliance. ATTENTION! Do not allow small children to play with plastic foil danger of suffocation.

Check items delivered

When unpacking, ensure that the following parts were supplied: DVD recorder SCART cable AV cable Component cable Antenna cable Power cord Remote control 2 mignon batteries (1,5 V; size AAA) Empty DVD+RW User instructions Guarantee card

Insert batteries in the remote control.
Two mignon 1.5 V batteries (AAA-size) are supplied for the remote control. Remove the battery compartment cover from the back of the remote control by sliding it in the direction of the arrow. Insert the batteries with their negative ends against the springs. Replace the battery cover. ATTENTION! Do not attempt to charge the batteries supplied, dismantle them, throw them in the fire or short-circuit them. Batteries can endanger life if swallowed. Keep batteries and the remote control beyond the reach of small children. If a battery is swallowed, seek immediate medical help.

AVAILABLE CONNECTIONS

The DVD recorder can be interconnected with a number of other input and output devices: with a television set, with an amplifier/receiver, with a video recorder, with other audio-visual equipment. Before making connections, ensure that all equipment is switched off. Do not connect the appliance to the mains until all interconnections have been made.
Connecting the DVD recorder
For ease of installation, most of the connecting cables are fitted with coloured connectors. Simply mate plugs and sockets of the same colour when interconnecting two appliances. The connection examples show a number of ways in which the recorder can be interconnected with other equipment. To simply connect the DVD recorder to a television receiver, all that is required is an audio and a video connection. If the cable from your TV antenna or cables system is connected to the DVD recorder with a further antenna cable from recorder to TV set, you can watch TV programmes even when the DVD recorder is in standby mode. Avoid connecting the DVD recorder indirectly, via a video recorder. This can significantly affect picture quality.
Connecting to the TV set with an AV or SCART cable
You can connect the DVD recorder to the TV set using either a AV cable or a SCART cable. The drawing shows two options: - TV connection with S-VHS cable, - TV connection with component cable.
In either case, the antenna cable from the wall socket to the TV set must be disconnected from the TV set and connected to the ANTENNA IN socket of the DVD recorder. Connect the antenna outlet of the DVD recorder to the antenna input of the TV set, using the antenna cable supplied. 1st option: connect one end of the AV cable to the Audio / Video output sokkets of the DVD recorder and the other end to the AV input sockets of your TV set. 2nd option: connect one end of the SCART cable to the SCART output socket of the DVD recorder and the other end to the SCART input socket of your TV set.
Connecting to the TV set using an S-VHS cable or with the additional component cable
The drawing shows two options: - TV connection with S-VHS cable, - TV connection with component cable.
If your TV set does not have a SCART connector, you can connect it to the DVD player (S-VIDEO socket) using an S-VHS cable. If the TV set also has a connection for progressive scan signals (usually marked Y/CB/CR), use the component cable supplied to link this with the corresponding output sockets of the DVD recorder. Note: For both options the DVD recorder has to be connected via a cinch-audio cable to the TV set!

Complete primary settings
After the time setting is completed, the first channel is displayed on the screen. If you have put a CD/DVD into the Disc slot, it will start playing.

FUNCTIONS

Controls on the recorder or on the remote control
