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

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

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.

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.
