Loewe Centros 1172, Centros 1202 manual Cleaning, For your safety

Page 7

Welcome

Cleaning

Only clean your DVD recorder with a damp, soft, clean cloth (with no aggressive cleaning agents).

If DVD recorder fails to read the disc correctly, the reader unit in the device may be soiled. Use a commercially-available cleaning disc.

Always keep the disc drawer closed to prevent dust getting into the drawer and onto the lens.

For your safety

For your own safety and to avoid unnecessary dam- age to your unit, please read and follow the safety advice below:

This DVD recorder is only to be used for receiv- ing, displaying and playing visual and sound signals.

Switch off your DVD system (Centros, TV and any other audio components which may be connected) before connecting or disconnecting other devices or speakers.

Do not open up the housing, or you could be directly exposed to the laser beam. The laser beam will be visible if the unit is open.

DO NOT LOOK INTO THE LASER BEAM.

Protect your DVD recorder from ...

liquids and damp

shock and mechanical stress

magnetic and electrical fields

cold, heat, direct sunlight and extreme fluctua- tions in temperature

dust

anything which obstructs ventilation

manual interference with the unit‘s interior

Your Centros has only been designed for use in a domestic environment. The warranty covers this normal use of the DVD recorder.

PLEASE NOTE: TO AVOID RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER (OR THE REAR OF THE UNIT). THERE ARE NO PARTS INSIDE THE UNIT THAT CAN BE REPAIRED BY THE USER. REPAIRS SHOULD ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY A LOEWE DEALER.

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).

If you want to make timer recordings from the satellite tuner in the television, the recording is controlled by Digital Link.

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).
