Your HDD DVD recorder provides you with perfect digital video record- ing and playback in studio quality.

You can record television programmes on the built-in hard disc of the HDD DVD recorder, a DVD+RW/-RW or DVD+R/-R.

With the time shift function you can watch television programmes with a time shift which are stored in the time shift memory. You can stop these programmes and continue playback at the same point.

It also provides superb cinema-quality audio playback – in stereo or with digital multi-channel sound – depending on the type of disc and audio system or stereo television.

Other features of DVD video include the choice of audio channel and lan- guage, choice of subtitle language, and various camera recording angles. Your HDD DVD recorder is suitable for DVDs with regional code 2.

In addition to DVDs the device can also play back DivX© Video CDs, MP3 CDs, video CDs, S-Video CDs, JPEG (photo) CDs, KODAK Picture CDs, WMA CDs and audio CDs.

DivX©, MP3, WMA and JPEG data can be played back from both CD-ROM and DVD-ROM.

Disc formats

DVD+RW/-RWs and DVD+R/-Rs are suitable for recording and playback.

 

DVD video, DVD+RW/-RW, DVD+R/-R, audio CD, video CD, Super

 

Video CD, CD-R and CD-RW are all suitable playback formats.

 

Due to the difference in quality of the recording media and the quality of

 

the recording itself, it can occasionally happen that some recorded

 

DVDs or CDs cannot be read. This does not indicate a malfunction on

 

the part of the HDD DVD recorder.

 

You must finalise your own recordings on DVD+R/-R so that they can be

 

played on a DVD player.

 

When MP3 CDs are played back, individual tracks or pictures may be

 

skipped or incorrectly played back. This can be due to the disc configu-

 

ration, the encoder software or the hardware used for the recording.

 

Audio CDs (CD-DA) meet the specification and bear the corresponding

 

logo. Copy-protected CDs do not meet this specification and do not

 

bear the logo. These CDs can cause playback errors.
