Digital Link Plus
If you have connected the DVD recorder to a Loewe TV set with Digital Link Plus or a comparable system from another manufacturer (e.g. EasyLink, Mega Logic, Project 50), the program list will be transferred from the television set to the DVD re- corder. This takes place when you register the DVD recorder with the TV set, or when you make any changes to the programs on the TV set
The DVD recorder detects a connected TV set with Digital Link Plus or a similar system from another manufacturer and adjusts the DVD recorder accord- ingly. This means that you cannot search for, delete or sort TV programs on the DVD recorder. The menu items are grayed out; during the automatic search it is only possible to transfer the program information from the TV set. Note that all programs that you receive via aerial or cable must be stored in program numbers 1 to 88 on the TV set.
If the TV set does not ask you to transfer the program information, then start the transfer on the DVD recorder. If your TV set is equipped with Digital Link Plus or with a comparable system from another manufacturer, only carry out program changes on the TV set.
If the TV set that you have connected to the DVD recorder does not have Digital Link Plus or a comparable system, then you should harmonize the DVD recorder and TV set program lists. This will help you to fi nd programs on the TV set and DVD recorder.
