Welcome

• There can be interference to the images and

sound of any nearby television, video recorder or

radio. If this occurs, do not place the unit near

to a television, video recorder or radio, or switch

the unit off after removing the disc.

• Install the DVD recorder where there is nothing

to obstruct the remote control‘s infrared signal

from reaching the DVD recorder display.

• Do not place strong artiﬁcial light sources in

front of the device. This may affect infrared

reception.

• If there is an electrical storm, disconnect the

antenna and mains plug. Power surges caused

by lightning strikes can damage the unit through

the antenna system or the mains.

• The antenna and mains should also be discon-

nected if the unit is to remain unsupervised for a

long period of time.

• The mains plug must be easily accessible so that

the unit can be disconnected at any time.

• Lay the cable in such a way that it cannot get

damaged. The power cable should not be kinked

or laid over sharp edges, not stood upon or

exposed to chemicals - the latter also applies to

the device as a whole. A mains cable with dam-

aged insulation can cause electric shocks and is

a ﬁre hazard.

• When removing the power plug, pull the body

of the plug, and not the cable. Otherwise, the

wires in the plug could get damaged and cause

a short circuit the next time it is plugged in.

Protect your DVD recorder from ...

Cleaning

Advantages of connection

to a Loewe TV set

• liquids and damp

• Only clean your DVD recorder with a damp, soft,

clean cloth (with no aggressive cleaning agents).

• If DVD recorder fails to read the disc correctly,

the reader unit in the device may be soiled. Use

a commercially-available cleaning disc.

• shock and mechanical stress

• magnetic and electrical ﬁelds

• cold, heat, direct sunlight and extreme ﬂuctua-

tions in temperature

You can use Digital Link to install the DVD

recorder e.g. in an enclosed rack or a wall unit,

without there being direct visible contact with the

DVD recorder. Using the DVD remote control, you

can operate the DVD recorder via the Loewe televi-

sion. To do this, Digital Link must be switched on

at the DVD recorder (see page 17).

If you want to make timer recordings from the

satellite tuner in the television, the recording is

controlled by Digital Link.

• dust

• Always keep the disc drawer closed to prevent

dust getting into the drawer and onto the lens.

• anything which obstructs ventilation

• manual interference with the unit‘s interior

For your safety

Your Centros has only been designed for use in a

domestic environment. The warranty covers this

normal use of the DVD recorder.

For your own safety and to avoid unnecessary dam-

age to your unit, please read and follow the safety

advice below:

PLEASE NOTE: TO AVOID RISK OF ELECTRICAL

SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER (OR THE

REAR OF THE UNIT). THERE ARE NO PARTS INSIDE

THE UNIT THAT CAN BE REPAIRED BY THE USER.

REPAIRS SHOULD ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY A

LOEWE DEALER.

Digital Link Plus enables channel data to be

transferred from the television‘s satellite and cable

channels to the DVD recorder, so that the same

channels appear in the same channel position.

This means that timer recordings of satellite and

cable channels can easily be programmed from

the television using the EPG (Electronic Program

Guide). The timer data is copied to the DVD re-

corder, which then, independently of the television,

carries out the timer recording. With timer data for

satellite stations, the television starts and stops the

DVD recorder and sets it to the Euro AV 1 input.

If playback begins, this is immediately shown on

the television, no matter which TV channel you are

currently watching (if the television is switched off,

it will automatically switched on).

• This DVD recorder is only to be used for receiv-

ing, displaying and playing visual and sound

signals.

• Switch off your DVD system (Centros, TV and

any other audio components which may be

connected) before connecting or disconnecting

other devices or speakers.

If you have moved the DVD recorder from a

cold to a warm environment, leave it to stand for

about an hour because of the risk of condensation

building up. Do not switch it on until it has reached

room temperature. This will avoid seriously damag-

ing the components.

• Do not open up the housing, or you could be

directly exposed to the laser beam. The laser

beam will be visible if the unit is open.

DO NOT LOOK INTO THE LASER BEAM.

Read this operating manual, and experiment with

your new equipment‘s features so that you are

familiar with it.

Essential Information

Video DVD-R/RW disc with VR recording mode

Disc-related Terms

Types of Video CDs

DVD-RW disc with VR recording mode

DVD+R disc

There are two types of Video CDs:

Title (DVD only)

+RW

DVD

VCD

DVD+RW disc

DVD-Video disc

Video CD

Video CDs equipped with PBC

(Version 2.0)

A title is the main ﬁlm content or the content of

the accompanying feature or the music album.

Each title has a title number enabling you to locate

it easily.

Audio CD

PBC (Playback Control) functions enable you to in-

teract with the system via menus, search functions

or other typical computer operations. In addition

high-resolution still pictures can be displayed if

they are available on the disc.

MP3

JPEG

MP3 CD

JPEG CD

Chapter (DVD only)

The ﬁnalized DVD disc is a DVD-Video disc.

Chapters are sections of a ﬁlm or a piece of music

that are smaller than a title. A title consists of one

or several chapters. Each chapter has a chap-

ter number to enable you to locate the desired

chapter. Depending on the disc, chapters may not

be labeled.

DVD-R and DVD-RW discs

Video CDs not equipped with PBC

(Version 1.1)

How are DVD-R and DVD-RW discs

different?

These discs are operated in the same way as Audio

CDs and allow playback of video pictures and

sound. They are not however equipped with PBC.

The essential difference between a DVD-R and a

DVD-RW disc is the fact that a DVD-R disc can only

be written to once, whilst a DVD-RW disc can be

written to several times. In addition, its content can

be deleted. You can write to and delete a DVD-RW

disc approx. 1000 times.

Track (Video CD or Audio CD only)

Symbols

Sections of a ﬁlm or a piece of music on a Video CD

or an Audio CD. Each track has a track number to

enable you to ﬁnd the desired track.

The symbol on the screen

During operation “ ” may appear on the screen.

This symbol means that the desired function is not

currently available on this disc.

Scene

Playback of writable discs on normal

DVD players

On a Video CD with PBC (Playback Control) func-

tions, moving pictures and still pictures are divided

into sections that are called “scenes“. Each scene

is displayed in the scene menu and has a scene

number to enable you to ﬁnd the scene quickly. A

scene consists of one or more tracks.

Disc symbols in the operating instructions

If part of the operating instructions contains one

of the symbols listed below, the section is only ap-

plicable to the disc shown on the symbol.

Many functions of this recorder are dependent

on the selected recording quality. One or more of

the symbols (DVD, Video, +RW, MP3) are dis-

played for each function described in the manual

so that you can immediately see whether the disc

supports this function.

DVD-R discs and DVD-RW discs written to in Video

mode can be played on some normal DVD players.

They must however be ﬁnalized ﬁrst. This process

ﬁxes the content of the disc so that it can be read

by other DVD players as a DVD-Video disc.

Essential Information

What are “Recording Modes“?

Use of “Original“ and “Playlist“

DVD Recordings

This recorder offers two recording modes: VR mode

and Video mode. Recordings on DVD-R discs are

always in Video mode. Recordings on DVD-RW

discs can be in either VR or Video mode.

Throughout this manual you will often see the

words “Original“ and “Playlist“ used to describe

the actual content and the edited version.

• Original: Content refers to what is actually

recorded on the disc.

• Playlist: Content refers to the edited version of

the disc, i.e. how the original content should be

played.

Note: Fingerprints and scratches on the disc can

affect playback and/or recording. Take proper care

of your discs.

A DVD-R disc is always formatted in “Video For-

mat“ - the same as prerecorded DVD-Video discs,

i.e. after ﬁnalization you can play a DVD-R disc on

a normal DVD player.

“Video Recording Format“ (VR) is the default

format for a DVD-RW disc. If required, the disc can

be changed to Video format through subsequent

reformatting (“Disc -➜ Formatting“ in the main

menu) (Caution! The contents of the disc will be

erased).

• Can be played on many DVD players that sup-

port the +RW format (where appropriate, only

after ﬁnalization).

• Titles/chapters of recordings can be edited.

• Edited content can only be played after ﬁnaliza-

tion on some DVD players.

Video Mode Recording

• 4 possible picture quality/recording time settings

(EQ, LQ, SQ, HQ), see page 24.

• Can be played on many DVD players that sup-

port the +R format (where appropriate, only

after ﬁnalization).

• Limited editing of titles/chapters.

• Edited content cannot be played on normal

DVD players. (Hide, combined chapters, added

chapter markers etc.).

Note: The “Video mode“ DVD-Video format is a

new format for recording on DVD-R/RW discs that

was approved by the DVD Forum in 2000. For this

reason you may experience problems playing writa-

ble DVD discs on some players. Symptoms include

video artifacts, audio and/or video dropout and

playback stopping suddenly. Our company cannot

take any responsibility for problems playing discs

recorded on this recorder on other players.

The recording quality is closely related to the

formatting.

26.04.2005 11:23:12

Essential Information

If the disc format is Video Recording format, the

recording mode for the disc is referred to as „VR

mode“. However, the recording mode of a Video

format disc is referred to as „Video mode“ (Excep-

tion: a prerecorded DVD-Video disc which is not

recordable has no recording mode).

The recording modes determine the recording

and editing options for the whole disc. Amongst

other things they determine the picture quality and

how much space the recording will take up on the

disc.

Notes on Recording

• If you use a DVD-R disc you can continue

recording until the disc is full or until you ﬁnalize

it. Before you start recording check how much

recording time is available on the disc.

• If you use a DVD-RW disc in Video mode, the

available recording time will increase if you

delete the last title recorded on the disc.

• The „Delete Title“ function in the „Title List-

Original“ menu only hides the title, it does not

however delete it from the disc and does not

therefore increase the recording time (except if

you delete the last recorded title on a DVD-RW

disc in Video mode).

• The displayed recording time is not exact as the

recorder uses variable bit-rate video compres-

sion. This means that the exact recording

time will depend on the material that is being

recorded.

• When recording a television broadcast the

recording time may be shorter if the reception is

poor or the picture contains interference.

• If you record only still pictures or audio, the

recording time may be shorter.

• The displayed recording time and remaining time

may not always add up to the total length of

the disc.

• The available recording time may be shorter fol-

lowing intensive editing of the disc.

• Overwrite recording is only possible on DVD+RW

discs.

• If you use a DVD-RW disc, make sure you select

the recording format (Video mode or VR mode)

before you start recording. See page 25 (Format-

ting) for more information.

Navigating in Menus

Digital Link Plus

The General Menu

In this operating manual the RC3 remote control

arrow keys are represented as follows:

If you have connected the DVD recorder to a Loewe

TV set with Digital Link Plus or a comparable

system from another manufacturer (e.g. EasyLink,

Mega Logic, Project 50), the program list will be

transferred from the television set to the DVD re-

corder. This takes place when you register the DVD

recorder with the TV set, or when you make any

changes to the programs on the TV set (re-sorting,

deleting, adding). After a change of this sort, the

TV set will ask you to start transferring the changed

program list.

The DVD recorder detects a connected TV set with

Digital Link Plus or a similar system from another

manufacturer and adjusts the DVD recorder accord-

ingly. This means that you cannot search for, delete

or sort TV programs on the DVD recorder. The

menu items are grayed out; during the automatic

search it is only possible to transfer the program

information from the TV set.

Note that all programs that you receive via aerial or

cable must be stored in program numbers 1 to 88

on the TV set.

If the TV set does not ask you to transfer the

program information, then start the transfer on the

DVD recorder.

If your TV set is equipped with Digital Link Plus or

with a comparable system from another manufac-

turer, only carry out program changes on the TV

set.

If the TV set that you have connected to the DVD

recorder does not have Digital Link Plus or a

comparable system, then you should harmonize

the DVD recorder and TV set program lists. This will

help you to ﬁnd programs on the TV set and DVD

recorder.

Automatic Programming

receiving up to 88 channels.

Depending on the size and number of JPEG ﬁles,

it can take several minutes to read the disc. If

nothing appears on the screen after a few minutes,

some ﬁles are too large. Reduce the resolution of

the JPEG ﬁles to less than 4 Megapixels and burn

the disc again.

There is no limit on the total number of ﬁles

and folders, but the total number of ﬁles in the

folder has to be fewer than 999.

Due to different recording formats or the con-

dition of the CD, some discs may be incompatible.

When using burning software to burn JPEG

Timer recording

This DVD recorder can be programmed so that it

can make up to seven recordings in a month. For

recording with nobody in attendance, the timer has

to know which signal sources (TV stations or from

AV devices) should be recorded, and it needs the

start time and the inputs which deﬁne the record-

ing length.

Notes:

• You should be aware that not all stations

work with VPS.

• The timer‘s LED lights up in the unit‘s display

window when the recorder is in standby mode

and at least one timer recording has been

programmed.

• For dual-language TV recordings, select the

sound channel in the “Record ➜ TV rec audio“

submenu in the main menu (see page 25).

• To stop a timer recording that is underway, press

• Stations that use VPS/PDC usually have

VPS/PDC information on their teletext pages.

Look for information on those pages when

you are going to make a timer recording.

• It takes around 30 seconds for the recorder

to tune in and for recording to begin. If you

are using VPS/PDC, the ﬁrst few seconds of

the programme may not be recorded.

• The actual time of day and the actual date

will have to be keyed into the DVD recorder

Title and Chapter Editing

Original Lists and Playlists

Adding Chapter Markers

Creating a New Playlist

If you edit the original lists (for titles and chapters)

you change the content of the disc. If, for example,

you delete a title or a chapter, the title or chapter is

deleted from the disc.

However, if you edit a playlist you do not change

the content of the disc. Example: If you delete a

title from the playlist, you are simply telling the

DVD recorder not to play the title. However, it is

not deleted from the disc.

You can copy titles or chapters from the appropri-

ate original list into a pre-selected playlist and add

them as chapters at the end. (You can delete parts

you do not need at a later date. See “Deleting a

Part“ on page 55).

However, if you add chapter markers at a later

date to an item in the original list that has already

been copied into a playlist, these new chapter

markers are not automatically transferred to the

corresponding item in the playlist.

Chapter

You can insert a chapter marker anywhere in a

playlist or an original title during recording or

playback.

Once the chapters have been marked, the chapter

search can be used and chapters can be deleted,

combined and moved in the Chapter List-Original

or the Chapter List-Playlist.

You can insert up to 999 chapter markers.

Titles in the disc‘s original content contain one or

more chapters. If you insert a title into a playlist, all

the chapters within that title are also transferred.

The chapters in a playlist behave in exactly the

same way as those on a DVD-Video disc.

Parts are sections of original or playlist titles.

You can add parts to a playlist via the “Title List-

Original“ and “Chapter List-Original“ menus. You

can also delete parts from a playlist.

2. Select a title or a chapter in the “Original“ menu

that you want to put in a playlist and press OK.
