Direct Record

With the Direct Record function switched ‘On’ and the DVD recorder switched to standby, the channel number selected on your television will be automatically taken over by the DVD recorder, at the moment it starts recording. This only applies for televisions connected via SCART, which have video output via SCART or which have EasyLink. Factory setting is ‘Off’.

•In the record settings menu, select ‘Direct record’.

•Select ‘On’. If you select ‘Off’, the function will be switched off.

•Confirm with OK.

•To end, press SYSTEM MENU.

Sat record

You can only use this function, when you have a satellite receiver, which can control other equipment by a ’programming’ function. In this mode your DVD recorder starts recording when the satellite receiver releases a signal. The start and end of the recording is controlled via one of the SCART sockets.

•In the record settings menu, select ‘Sat record’.

•Select the SCART socket to which the satellite receiver is connected with t or u (left right cursor).

•Confirm with OK.

•Insert a recordable DVD+RW disc.

•Press B STANDBY/ON.

‰When this function is switched on, SAT appears on the display.

‰The DVD recorder is now prepared for recording.

Factory setting is ‘Off’.

Auto chapters

If autochapters is ‘On’ every five to six minutes a chapter marker (beginning of a new chapter) is inserted during recording. This enables easy navigation through a title during playback. In either case, you can manually insert chapter markers afterwards. (See ‘Managing disc content’ - ‘Edit in playback mode’.)

LP/EP rec mode

In long play or extended play recording mode you can select the ‘Sport’ setting to optimize the video recording for images that contain fast movements, like sports programmes. The setting does not influence high quality or standard play recording mode.

Factory setting is ‘Stndrd’.

Installation

Auto TV Channel Search

Your DVD recorder will search for all TV channels.

It stores channels in the sequence they are found. (See ‘Installation - First time Set-up’)

Note :

All channels stored so far will be erased.

Follow TV

With Follow TV you can programme the same channel sequence on the DVD recorder as on the TV set. This only functions if the recorder socket (EXT1) and the TV set are connected with a SCART cable. Additional equipment connected to socket EXT2 must be switched off.
