Installation  
Ensure that the mains supply in your house complies with that indicated on the identification sticker  
located at the back of your device. Install the device horizontally, on a suitable base (solid unit with a non-  
slippery surface), with enough space around it for ventilation (7 to 10 cm). Make sure the ventilation slots  
are not covered. Your device is equipped with a fan which produces a slight hum. Do not stack other  
devices, or heavy equipment on top of your machine. Do not place it on amplifiers or other equipment  
which may give off heat. Before moving the device, ensure the disc tray is empty. This device is designed  
for continuous use. Switching it into stand-by mode does not interrupt its power supply. If the device is  
to be left unused for a long period of time or in the event of a thunderstorm, we recommend that you  
unplug the device from the mains. The power socket must therefore be easily accessible.

Caution  
Protect the player from moisture and excess heat (e.g. fireplace, radiators), and any equipment creating  
strong magnetic or electric fields (e.g. speakers, etc.). Disconnect the power cable from the mains  
electricity supply if the player malfunctions. Your DMR is not intended for industrial use but for domestic  
purposes only. Use of this product is for personal use only. Copying CDs or downloading music files for  
sale or other business purposes is or may be a violation of copyright law.  
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY: TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT OF COPYRIGHTS OR  
OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS RESULTING FROM THE USE OF THE PRODUCT  
UNDER CONDITIONS OTHER THAN AS HEREABOVE SPECIFIED ARE HEREBY EXCLUDED.  
Condensation  
If your player or a disc have been stored in a cold atmosphere, as for example during transportation in the  
winter, wait for approximately 2 hours until they have reached room temperature.  
For your safety  
Never open the player or any of its components. It can be dangerous for you or for certain fragile components.  
You could receive an electric shock or touch the laser beam. Do not place your eyes close to the opening of  
the disc tray or any other opening to look inside the player.  
Discs  
Always handle your discs with care. Hold a disc with fingers on the border or hole. Always place disc  
with the label facing upward (in case of a single-sided disc). Always place the disc properly into the tray  
using the proper guide area. Always use a soft cloth to clean discs if necessary, wipe from the centre to  
the border. Always put discs back into their cases after playing and store in a vertical position. Never use  
record cleaning sprays, benzine, static electricity liquids or any other solvent, if the disc surface is dirty.  
Wipe gently with a soft damp (water only) cloth, never wipe the disc in a circular motion, since circular  
scratches are likely to occur and could cause noise during playback.  
DVD copy protection  
In accordance with the DVD standard, your DVD player is equipped with a Copy Protection system,  
which can be triggered on and off by the DVD disc itself, in order to make any recording of the concerned  
DVD disc onto a videotape of very poor picture quality, or even impossible. “This product incorporates

Satellite set-up  
Satellite or cable receiver  
Your DMR is designed to control a satellite receiver. For this purpose, the satellite  
receiver must be connected to the AV2 and IR SAT/CABL sockets of the DMR. Before  
you connect your satellite receiver to your DMR, you need to set up all the channels on  
the satellite receiver (receiver directly connected to the TV set) and check that you can  
view them on your TV set. Then connect the devices as described below.  
IR controller cell  
Satellite receiver  
TV set  
DTH 7000 E  
Adjusting your DMR’s IR (infrared) controller cell  
You need to find the correct positioning of the IR controller cell in relation to the front of the  
satellite or cable receiver so that your DMR can transmit the commands as you would do with  
the satellite receiver’s remote control. The IR (infrared) controller cell must face the receiver  
cell of the satellite receiver. You can locate the receiver cell of the satellite receiver by  
bringing its remote control as close as possible to the front of the device and trying to change  
channels. Move the remote control one centimetre and try again. When the channel of the  
satellite receiver changes, locate the position on the front of the unit. Then install the IR  
controller cell as shown on the diagram below, facing the cell of the satellite receiver (1 or 2  
cm away). If need be, use the adhesive supplied to stick the cell in place.

record one channel’s programmes on the hard disk of your DMR while watching another channel on the  
TV (k page 51 - AV1 output).  
Putting the television on pause (PAUSE LIVE TV)  
Your DMR allows you to answer the phone without missing a single moment of the TV  
program you were watching. All you have to do is press PAUSE.

language of the DMR menus, the language of the disc menus, the language of the  
dialogues and that of the subtitles. In the menu, choose your preferred language for  
dialogues and subtitles. If it is available on the DVD you will be playing, it will be

Some discs offer a selection of languages for the dialogues. The default language is the one  
you selected during installation (k page 5) or the one you set according to the instructions  
on the previous page, provided this language is available on the disc being played. To change  
the language of the dialogues, your player offers you two possibilities (1)

than the DMR menu.  
If the language chosen is also available on the  
DVD, it will be selected as the dialogue  
language. If it is not available, the preferred  
disc language will be selected.  
You can also change the language of the  
dialogues and subtitles (if they are available  
on the disc). During playback, display the disc  
menu using the menu key. Then use the  
navigation keys.

Digital audio output setting  
Depending on the amplifier or television (with or without integrated decoder) connected to  
your DVD player, you will need to set the DIGITALAUDIO OUT sockets (coaxial or optical)  
so that they deliver the Dolby Digital (1) or DTS (2) digital signals supported by the other  
device (3). Tick Dolby Digital or DTS if the amplifier or TV set has a Dolby Digital or  
DTS decoder (or both, depending on devices).

SRS - TruSurround  
This function provides you with virtual reproduction of the multichannel sound of a Dolby or  
DTS film onto the two channels of your TV or stereo amplifier. The sound effects of a 5.1  
system are then simulated.

PCM  
compression technique elaborated by Dolby  
Laboratories for digital audio multichannel  
signals. The Dolby Digital system enables any  
audio channel configuration, from a stereo  
sound (2 channels) up to the digital  
“surround” sound 5.1.  
If the device connected to the DIGITAL  
AUDIO OUT sockets does not support Dolby  
or DTS signals, your player will deliver PCM  
(Pulse Code Modulation) signals. In that case,  
neither Dolby Digital, nor DTS must be ticked.  
The linear PCM is a signal recording format

equipment by switching  
it on/off with the B key.  
• If it does not work,  
repeat from step 2 with  
another 3-digit code.  
• Not all TV can be operated with this  
universal remote control.  
• Try to find the most efficient code for your  
brand (for brands with several codes).  
• Try out which functions you can control with  
the remote control.  
• If you have replaced the batteries of  
the remote control, perform the  
remote control set-up again.  
About the TV/DMR key  
With some TVs, video from your DMR takes priority and is displayed on the screen. In this  
case, you can no longer change channels on the TV, either by using your DMR’s remote  
control unit set to the TV position (by pressing the  
key) or by using the TV’s remote  
control unit. You can therefore no longer record one channel’s programmes on the hard disk  
of your DMR while watching another channel on the TV. If you want to watch one channel  
while recording programmes on another channel, you must change the AV1 output  
connection setting by selecting Video instead of RGB in the Options menu. See pages 50 and  
51 of your user manual for details of how to change the AV1 output connection setting.

If you have a problem  
Troubleshooting guide  
• The image format is adjustable. Refer to pages  
34 and 35. With certain discs, the format is pre-  
set and cannot be changed.  
Nothing works  
Your DMR doesn’t switch on.  
• Did you move the DMR ? Check the power  
plug: is it well plugged into the mains socket?  
Also check the power cable jack at the rear of  
the DMR; is it well pushed in.  
• Is the mains socket to which you DMR is  
connected receiving current ?  
Try to plug in a lamp or other electrical device:  
do they work ? Check the corresponding fuse in  
your house’s fuse box.  
Sound problems  
No sound  
• Check that the DTS and Dolby Digital settings  
are suited to the specifications of the device  
connected to the digital audio sockets (coaxial  
or optical) (k page 50).  
The sound is very low or inaudible.  
The remote control doesn’t work.  
• The sound of the TV set has been cut or set at a  
very low level. Press the ( ) key on your TV  
set’s remote control and/or adjust the volume on  
your TV set (or amplifier, if such is the case).  
• To control your DMR, the function selector on  
the remote control must be on the dvd position.  
• Point the remote control at the front of your  
DMR, not at your TV set.  
• LThe operating range of the remote control is 6  
to 8 metres. It gradually decreases as the  
batteries wear down. This is a good indicator of  
the state of the batteries.  
• Make sure no objects (or animals) are in the  
path of the infrared beam between the remote  
control and your DMR. They may block the  
beam and thereby cause a malfunction of your  
DMR.  
• The batteries may be worn. Replace them.  
Ensure correct polarities (+, -).  
The sound of the headphones plugged into the  
front of the DMR is too loud or too quiet.  
• Adjust the volume. Refer to pages 24 and 25.  
Menu problems  
The menus or subtitles do not appear in the  
language you want.  
• With a DVD: the DVD menus are not displayed  
in your language. Check the disc jacket to see  
which languages are available. Choose the  
language of your choice, if available (k page  
46).  
• With a DVD: there are no subtitles. Check the  
disc jacket to see whether subtitles are  
available. Choose the subtitles of your choice, if  
available (k page 47).  
• The preferred language for DVD dialogues and  
subtitles was set upon initial installation of your  
DMR. To change it, refer to pages 46 and 47.  
• You can also change languages during disc  
playback by pressing the red key ( )) for  
dialogues and the green key ( ) for  
subtitles. This selection is only valid for that  
disc, as long as it is not removed from the disc  
tray.  
The remote control of your DMR also controls  
another device.  
• Some DVD players made by the Thomson  
group (Thomson, Brandt, Ferguson, Saba,  
Téléfunken) react to the same codes. To avoid  
this inconvenience, you can program your  
DMR and its remote control so they have a  
different code to those of the other devices.  
Refer to page 59.  
The remote control and the DMR don’t work  
anymore: everything seems blocked.  
• Unplug your DMR from the mains for a few  
moments and plug it back in.  
The menus of your DMR do not appear in the  
language you want.  
• Check that your language is available in the  
settings menu (k page 46). If not, choose  
another language.  
Picture problems  
You don’t see any picture.  
• Turn on your TV set and your DMR.  
• On your TV set, select the socket which  
receives the signals from your DMR (AV1,  
TV1, AUX1, etc., depending on the make, if  
connected as shown on page 8 or 19).  
• Make sure that all connectors are well pushed  
into the various sockets.  
You can’t access the selected menu, even when  
you press ok.  
• If the name of the menu appears on  
a
transparent background, it means that the  
corresponding menu or function is not available.  
The Disc, Video, Music, Pictures and Card  
menus are contextual menus: they depend on  
operations performed beforehand such as:  
- Disc is only accessible if there is a disc in the  
disc tray of your DMR.  
The colours aren’t natural.  
• Check that the scart cables are well pushed into  
the sockets of the various devices.  
The image format doesn’t match the screen  
format of your TV set.

If you have a problem  
STOP key for at least 3 seconds of your DMR.  
Release the STANDBY/ON button. Turn off  
your DMR then turn it back on by pressing the  
STANDBY/ON button at the front of your  
DMR. The menu displayed on-screen is the  
menu which enables you to choose your DMR’s  
display language. It confirms that all settings  
made since initial installation have been  
deleted. The DMR has been reconfigured as it  
was when purchased (factory settings). Refer to  
page 5 of this manual to restart the installation  
of your DMR.  
- Video is only accessible once you have  
recorded a TV program or video sequence  
(from an external device).  
- Music is only accessible if you have copied  
an audio file in MP3 format.  
- Pictures is only accessible once you have  
copied an image in JPEG format.  
- Card is only accessible once you have  
connected a card reader to the front USB socket  
and inserted a card in it.

Your DMR menu disappears.  
• As with computers, your DMR has a screen  
saver which replaces the fixed menu by a  
mobile THOMSON logo. Press on a navigation  
key to bring back the fixed menu.  
You can’t watch what happened 50 minutes  
ago.  
• Your DMR’s buffer memory stores no more  
than 45 minutes of TV programs. If you want to  
save more than 45 minutes of program, you have  
to record the program you are watching by  
pressing the RECORD button. Please note that  
you have to record the program right from the  
start. As soon as you press RECORD the contents  
of the buffer memory is deleted, even after a  
pause.  
The Carte line in your DMR’s main menu  
remains inactive.  
• The reader is not recognised by your DMR. The  
compatible readers are listed on page 21. They  
correspond to the “USB 1.1 Mass Storage  
Class”. In certain cases, you need to turn your  
DMR off then back on for the reader to be  
recognised.  
The display or reading of digital images in  
JPEG format is slow.  
• Image display can take a fairly long time,  
depending on the size of the images. If the  
images are too “bulky”, your DMR may not be  
able to display them correctly.  
You can’t switch channels.  
• During the recording of a TV program (or video  
sequence from a connected device), switching  
channels is impossible. To change channels,  
you have to stop the recording completely (k  
page 41).  
Disc playing problems  
The TV guide (NAVICLICK) is not displayed.  
• Downloading may be disabled. Make sure that  
Off is not ticked (k page 54).  
• Does the channel broadcast a TV guide ? Check  
in the list on page 55.  
The DVD doesn’t play, even when you press  
the PLAY button.  
• The disc rating is higher than the limit that you  
have set (k page 49).  
Fast forward or rewind doesn’t work.  
• Some discs have scenes which do not allow fast  
forwarding, rewinding or chapter skips. When a  
command is prohibited or is not available for  
the current section or operating mode, a  
prohibition sign ( ) appears on-screen for a  
few moments.  
In quiet moments, you hear a slight hum  
coming from your DMR.  
• Your DMR is equipped with a fan. It releases  
heat in order to ensure proper cooling. It  
switches on as soon as your DMR is turned on  
and produces a slight hum.  
The display or reading of digital images in  
JPEG format is slow.  
• Image display can take a fairly long time,  
depending on the size of the images. If the  
images are too “bulky”, your DMR may not be  
able to display them correctly.  
You can’t change the camera angle.  
• Most DVDs do not have multiple viewing  
angles. When this option is available, it usually  
only applies to a few scenes.  
Other problems  
The time occupied by JPEG images or MP3  
files copied onto the hard disc is not indicated  
on the banners.  
• The only way to find out how much time is  
available on your hard disc is by recording a TV  
program or a video sequence (from an external  
device). It is then indicated on the banner  
(k page 28).  
You forgot the secret code for the Child Lock.  
• To unlock your DMR, you have to enter the  
secret code that you chose. If you have  
forgotten it, follow the instructions below:  
Open the disc tray and make sure there is no  
disc in it. Close the disc tray. While pressing  
and holding down your player’s STANDBY/ON  
key, press and hold down the remote control’s

CD-Rs and MP3 files - (Recommendations)  
About CD-R discs  
This unit can play most CD-R discs. However, depending on the condition of the CD-recorder,  
computer and the disc used, you may find that not all discs will play successfully. When playing a  
CD-R disc, it is completely normal for the unit to take up to 20 seconds to recognize the disc before  
starting to play. If the disc is not recognized after a period of 20 seconds, remove the disc, and then  
insert it again. If after several trials, this disc cannot be recognized, make sure you have followed  
the recommendations below or try another type of disc. There are two main types of recordable  
CDs:  
- CD-R audio discs (for music only), which should be used when recording with Hifi CD-audio  
recorder.  
- CD-R Data discs are designed for recording via a CD writer on a personal computer. Use these  
discs as a preference.  
• Whatever the real recording capacity of the CD-R, do not use more than 630 Mb of recording space on  
the disc.  
• As a preference, opt for 74-min (650 Mb) CD-Rs instead of 80-min (700 Mb) CD-Rs.  
• As a preference, opt for CD-Rs instead of CD-RWs (rewritable CDs) as, in certain cases, CD-RW  
playback may be faulty.  
• Use reliable, good-quality CD writing software.  
• Close all other applications on the computer to ensure reliable CD-R disc recording.  
Make sure that the recording is “long enough” to be played. If the recording is too short, disc  
identification time may be increased.  
About MP3 files copied onto CD-Rs  
In the case of CD-R MP 3 discs, please follow all the recommendations for CD-R above, plus the  
comments below:  
Format  
• Your MP3 files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET format. ISO 9660 format and Joliet MP3 files are  
compatible with Microsoft’s DOS and Windows, and with Apple’s Mac. These two formats are the most  
widely used.  
Name  
• When naming your MP3 files do not exceed 12 characters, and place “.mp3” as the file extension.  
General name format of: Title.mp3. When composing your title ensure that you use 8 characters or less,  
have no spaces in the name, and avoid the use of special characters including ( . , / , \ , = ,+).  
Compression  
• Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128 kb/sec (kilobytes/second) when recording MP3  
files. Sound quality with MP3 files basically depends on the rate of compression/decompression you  
choose. Getting audio CD quality sound requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to  
MP3 format, of at least 128 kb/sec and up to 160 kb/sec. However, choosing higher rates, like 192  
kb/sec or more, only rarely give even better sound quality. Conversely, files with sampling rates below  
128 kb/sec will not be played properly.  
Protection  
• Do not try recording copyright protected MP3 files. “securized” files are encrypted and code protected  
to prevent illegal copying. These files are of the following types: Windows Media™ (registered trade mark  
of Microsoft Inc) and SDMI™ (registered trade mark of The SDMI Foundation). You must not copy such  
files.  
1
Important: The above recommendations cannot be taken as a guarantee that the DVD player will play  
MP3 recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality. You should note that certain technologies and  
methods for MP3 file recording on CD-Rs prevent optimal playback of these files on your DVD player  
(that is degraded sound quality and even, in some cases, inability of the player to read the file or files).
