Switching between TV and DVD

When the recorder is stopped or recording you can choose whether to have the audio/video from the built-in TV tuner (or external input) play on your TV (‘DVD mode’), or watch the channel that the TV is currently set to (‘TV mode’).

During playback or when a menu is being displayed on- screen, the sound and video is always routed to your TV and is unaffected by the TV/DVD mode setting.

Note that the recorder must be connected to your TV using a SCART cable to be able to use this feature.

Basic playback

This section shows you how to use your recorder for playback of discs (DVD, CD, etc.). More playback features, such as repeat and program play, are covered in the next chapter.

Important

•Throughout this manual, the term ‘DVD’ means playback-only DVD-Video discs and DVD-R/RW. If a function is specific to a particular kind of DVD disc, it is specified.

•Some DVD-Video discs don’t allow certain playback controls to operate at certain points in the disc. This is not a malfunction.

1 Press STANDBY/ON to switch on.

Also turn on your TV and make sure that it is set to the correct video input.

2 Press OPEN/CLOSE to open the disc tray.

3 Load a disc.

Load a disc with the label side facing up, using the disc tray guide to align the disc (if you’re loading a double- sided DVD-Video disc, load it with the side you want to play face down).

•If you want to play a DTS audio CD, please first read the note on page 31.

4 Press PLAY to start playback.

•If you’re playing a DVD-Video or Video CD, a disc menu may appear when you start playback. Use the

(cursor) buttons and ENTER to navigate DVD disc menus, and the number buttons and ENTER for Video CD menus.

•See the following sections for more details on playing specific kinds of discs.

5 To stop playback, press STOP.

6When you’ve finished using the recorder, eject the disc and switch the recorder back into standby.
