If you have moved the DVD recorder from a cold to a warm environment, leave it to stand for about an hour because of the risk of condensation building up. Do not switch it on until it has reached room temperature. This will avoid seriously damag- ing the components.
Read this operating manual, and experiment with your new equipment‘s features so that you are familiar with it.
Advantages of connection to a Loewe TV set
You can use Digital Link to install the DVD recorder e.g. in an enclosed rack or a wall unit, without there being direct visible contact with the DVD recorder. Using the DVD remote control, you can operate the DVD recorder via the Loewe televi- sion. To do this, Digital Link must be switched on at the DVD recorder (see page 17).
When you use the HDMI connection the TV switches over to this input automatically as long as it supports this function.
If you want to make timer recordings from the satellite tuner in the television, the recording is controlled by Digital Link Plus.
Digital Link Plus enables channel data to be transferred from the television‘s satellite and cable channels to the DVD recorder, so that the same channels appear in the same channel position. This means that timer recordings of satellite and cable channels can easily be programmed from the television using the EPG (Electronic Program Guide). The timer data is copied to the DVD re- corder, which then, independently of the television, carries out the timer recording. With timer data for satellite stations, the television starts and stops the DVD recorder and sets it to the Euro AV 1 input.
If playback begins, this is immediately shown on the television, no matter which TV channel you are currently watching (if the television is switched off, it will automatically switched on).
