Connect theTV directly to the DVD recorder system  
without aVCR or any other equipment in between.  
Otherwise, not all functions of the DVD recorder system  
may be available.  
For the connection to theTV, the DVD recorder system  
has a Scart socket and a ComponentVideo output which  
supports Progressive Scan.

Scart is an easy to use connection which makes additional  
features possible (e. g. FollowTV, Direct Record).  
Progressive Scan enhances the clarity of the picture and  
offers the best picture quality when you play a DVD on this  
DVD recorder system.  
FOR PLAYBACK

First, consult the user manual of yourTV on which  
connections are available on yourTV:  
– If yourTV does not support Progressive Scan connect  
theTV and DVD recorder system with Scart only. See  
“Case 1: Scart connection”.  
– If yourTV supports Progressive Scan connect both, the  
Scart and the ComponentVideo output to yourTV.  
See “Case 2: ComponentVideo / Progressive Scan  
connection”.

Case 2: ComponentVideo /  
Progressive Scan connection  
This DVD recorder system supports Progressive Scan  
(“PAL Progressive” or similar).  
Please be aware that someTVs switch automatically from  
the Progressive Scan input to the Scart input as soon as a  
signal is available on the Scart input. In this case you have to  
select the Progressive Scan input on yourTV again. If your  
TV repeatedly switches from the Progressive Scan input to  
the Scart input, disconnect the ComponentVideo cable and  
use the Scart connection only.  
To appreciate the flexibility of the Scart connection and the  
high picture quality of Progressive Scan, it is recommended  
to connect both, Scart (EXT-1TOTV-I/O) and the  
ComponentVideo / Progressive Scan output of the DVD  
recorder system to yourTV.  
Switching the DVD recorder system to  
Progressive Scan  
If you connected a Progressive Scan capableTV to the  
DVD recorder system, you need to switch the DVD  
recorder system to Progressive Scan.  
Use the Progressive Scan connection (FOR PLAYBACK /

on the DVD recorder system. Use the Scart connection  
when playing connected equipment (SAT,VCR, GAME,  
CAM1/2). Please consult the user manual of yourTV on  
how to switch between the Scart and the Progressive Scan  
input of theTV.  
1 Disconnect the DVD recorder system from the mains  
supply.

Volume and sound  
Please keep in mind that not all DVD discs provide  
multichannel surround sound. Some DVDs contain stereo  
sound only.  
If the equipment you connected offers digital surround  
sound (Dolby Digital or DTS) you need to connect the  
digital output of the equipment to IN DIGITAL or  
IN OPTICAL on the DVD recorder system to appreciate  
the digital surround sound (see “Connecting additional  
audio equipment”).  
Please keep in mind that recording from a digital input  
(IN DIGITAL and IN OPTICAL) is not possible for  
copyright reasons.Therefore, recording of digital surround  
sound is not possible. Recording is possible only from the  
inputs EXT-1TO TV-I/O, EXT-2 AUX I/O, CAM 1 and  
CAM 2 and is in stereo.  
For Mono signals no surround sound will be available on  
the rear (surround) speakers.  
For optimal surround sound experience you can set the  
distance between the speakers and your preferred listening  
position. See “Speaker setup” on page 55. See “Speaker

Discs for recording  
Before you start recording  
For each recording on a DVD+RW or DVD+R disc, the  
following information will be stored automatically:  
Name of the recording: If aTV station transmits the  
name of a programme (e.g. Superman), it will be stored  
automatically. If the programme’s name is not  
transmitted, the channel number or channel name and  
the time when recording has been started will be stored  
as the name of the recording.  
For recording with this DVD recorder system, you can use  
2 different types of DVD discs.These discs are marked with  
the logos shown below.  
DVD+RW  
can be recorded on, erased and  
re-recorded many times and played on  
DVD+RW compatible DVD players and  
DVD recorders.  
Total recording time  
Record type (Quality)  
Date of the recording  
Index picture of the recording  
DVD+R  
can be recorded on once. Recordings can  
be added and deleted. However, the  
position of a deleted recording cannot be  
used for further recordings again. If the  
Recordings on a DVD disc are called “titles”. Each  
title consists of one or more “chapters”.  
DVD+R is to be played on this DVD recorder system only,  
it does not have to be finalised. For playing the DVD+R on  
other standard DVD players and DVD recorders, it has to  
be finalised. Once a DVD+R has been finalised, no further  
recordings can be made.  
Recording on a DVD+RW disc starts at the current  
position on the disc. i. e. where you stopped playback or  
recording the last time.Titles you have recorded earlier may  
be overwritten without notice. If you insert a disc, recording  
will start at the beginning of the disc! In this respect your  
DVD recorder system behaves just like aVideo Cassette  
Recorder. If you want to make a recording without the risk  
of overwriting earlier recordings, use the function safe  
record (see chapter “Safe record”).  
The DVD recorder system is designed to record video on  
DVD+Rs and DVD+RWs.You cannot record (Super)Video  
CDs, audio CDs or MP3-CDs on this set.  
Copyright protection  
Notes:  
When you try to record copy protected material from an  
external appliance, COPY PROTwill be displayed. No  
recording is possible then.  
If you insert a disc that already contains the maximum of  
48 titles (including empty titles): Too many titles is  
displayed.You can only record on this disc after erasing one or  
more titles.  
If you insert a DVD+RW the contents of which are not  
DVD video compatible (e.g. a data disc):A dialogue box  
appears with the option to erase or eject the disc.You can only  
record on this disc after erasing it by using REC/OTR.  
On a disc containing PAL recordings, no NTSC recordings can  
be made and vice versa. On an empty disc, either type of  
recordings can be made.
