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 articial 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 re 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.

Welcome  
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 elds  
• cold, heat, direct sunlight and extreme uctua-  
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.

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

MP3 CD  
JPEG CD  
Chapter (DVD only)  
The nalized DVD disc is a DVD-Video disc.  
Chapters are sections of a lm 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 lm or a piece of music on a Video CD  
or an Audio CD. Each track has a track number to  
enable you to nd 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 nd 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 nalized rst. This process  
xes 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 nalization 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 nalization).  
• Titles/chapters of recordings can be edited.  
• Edited content can only be played after naliza-  
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 normal DVD players (after  
nalization)  
• Limited editing functions.

• 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 nalization).  
• 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.

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 nalize  
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.

Initial Installation  
Digital Link Plus  
The General Menu  
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 nd programs on the TV set and DVD  
recorder.

Depending on the size and number of JPEG les,  
it can take several minutes to read the disc. If  
nothing appears on the screen after a few minutes,  
some les are too large. Reduce the resolution of  
the JPEG les to less than 4 Megapixels and burn  
the disc again.  
There is no limit on the total number of les  
and folders, but the total number of les 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  
les onto a CD-R, all the selected les must have  
the “.jpg“ or “.jpeg“ extension before they will be  
burned onto the CD.

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

start time and the inputs which dene the record-  
ing length.  
Notes:  
Notes:  
• You should be aware that not all stations

• 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).

• 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 rst few seconds of  
the programme may not be recorded.

ate SHOWVIEW code number. The date, start time,  
end time and station are set automatically. You  
only need to set the recording quality and specify  
whether it is to be a one-off or repeated recording.

you can use a DV cable as the audio, video, data  
and control signals input / output to connect a  
camcorder that has DV to this recorder. The i.LINK  
interface complies with the IEEE 1394-1995  
standard.  
When you are using the DV IN socket, the follow-  
ing messages may appear on the screen.

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.
