Operating additional equipment

Video playback

There are several ways to see the picture and hear the sound of the VCR, DVD player or camcorder on your TV:

1.You can use the Euro AV sockets on the TV set and on the VCR. This is the best way to get a good picture and sound quality. Use the AVS sockets on the right of the TV for camcoders and digital cameras.

When playing from a video recorder with Digital Link PLus (or a compa- rable system from another manufacturer), the picture from the VCR is shown at the current program place.

When playing back from another video recorder, camcorder or digital camera, select the AV socket to which the video is connected with AV selection (button 0 AV) or with the station table (OK).

Video recorders transmit a switching voltage during playback which the TV can evaluate (can be activated in the connection wizard or in the “TV menu” – “Connections” – “Others” - “Allow switching voltage set” to “yes“). Then the picture of the video recorder is shown at the current program place.

2.Use the antenna connection between the VCR and the TV. The sound is only transmitted in mono. Select the first menu item, e.g. VIDEO, in the AV selection.

Timer recording with video or DVD recorder

You can program timer recordings on the TV set. Programming can be done with the EPG, teletext or manually.

Call the “Timer list” menu with the button		and press the red but-
ton	button for “New recording”. Select whether you want to program
the recording by EPG, teletext or manually.

When you have connected a recorder which has Digital Link Plus or a comparable system from a different manufacturer, the timer data of analog terrestrial stations are transmitted from the TV to the recorder. The record- ing quality SQ or EQ is transmitted for DVD recorders addtionally to station, date and time. The recording is then controlled by the recorder and the and the recorder tuner is used for reception of the station. The recording data are not saved in the timer list of the TV set. You will only find the timer data in the recorder.

You can switch over to another station (analog terrestrial) if you have a retrofitted digital satellite tuner (from which you are recording) and analog terrestrial reception.

If you have connected a Loewe video recorder with Digital Link (without Digital Link Plus) and you are using the timer programming of the TV, the TV receiver is always user, for terrestrial stations as well. The TV controls the recording.

Now you will see the playback from the connected AV unit.

Note: If channel 0 (Video) is called and a switching voltage is applied to AV1/AV2, the TV set switches automatically to this signal.

Calling AV stations with the station table

Call the station table with the OK button in TV mode.

In the numeric sorting you will always find the AV sockets at the top of the list without station numbers.

Digital Link must be switched on on the recorder. Read the operating instructions of your Loewe recorder.

Use only Euro AV cables, which are completely shielded, otherwise Digital Link/Digital Link Plus will not work.

Another advantages of Digital Link is that you can install the recorder in a concealed place (e.g. in a rack). You can control the recorder with the TV set. If you have a Loewe recorder with both systems, you can use all the advan- tages. The advantages of Digital Link Plus are used for the timer recording, the advantages of Digital Link for concealed installation of the recorder..
