Welcome

Shipping the Unit

The original shipping box and packaging materials should be used to ship the unit. To give the unit the best possible protection, repack it as it was originally packed by the manufacturer.

Disposal

Cardboard box and packaging

In line with national regulations regarding the disposal of packaging materials, we pay a fee to authorised recyclers who collect packaging from dealers. However, we recommend that you keep the original cardboard box and the rest of the packaging materials so that the unit can, if necessary, be transported in the safest possible conditions.

The unit

Important: The EU Directive 2002/96/EG governs the proper re-acceptance, handling and recycling of used electronic appli- ances. Old electronic appliances must therefore be disposed of separately. Never throw this set in the normal domestic waste. You can hand in your old set free of charge at identified collection points or at your dealer if you buy a similar new set. Other details about re-acceptance (also for non-EU countries) are available from your local administration.

Remote control batteries

The batteries provided contain no harmful materials such as cadmium, lead or mercury. Regulations concerning used batteries mean that batteries may no longer be thrown out with the household rubbish. You can dispose of used batteries free of charge at the collection points in commercial outlets. Your dealer will also have a collection point for used batteries.

Advantages of connection to a Loewe TV set

With Digital Link you can install the recorder for example in a closed rack or a cupboard without direct visual contact with the recorder. With the DVD remote control, you operate the recorder via the Loewe TV set. Digital Link must be switched on on the recorder (page 20).

If you use the HDMI connection, the TV set is automatically switched over to this input if your TV set supports this function.

If you want to make timer recordings from the TV satellite tuner, Digital Link Plus controls the recording. With Digital Link Plus the station data of the aerial and cable stations of the TV set are transferred to the recorder so that the same stations are saved in the same order in both devices. This enables timer recordings of aerial and cable stations to be made comfortably on the TV set with the EPG (Electronic Program Guide). The timer data are transferred to the recorder which then makes the timer recording independently of the TV set. For timer data for satellite sta- tions, the TV set starts and stops the recorder and sets it to the Euro AV 1 input. When play is started, this is shown immediately on the TV set regardless of which TV station you are currently watching (if the TV is switched off, it will be switched back on automatically first).

About the internal harddisc

The internal harddisc (HDD) is very sensitive. Operate the recorder according to the following regulations to avoid HDD errors.

Important recordings should be saved on DVDs to avoid losing data (page 62). Do not move the recorder immediately after switching it off. To move the recorder, proceed as follows:

1.Wait at least two minutes after the message POWER OFF. . Pull out the mains plug.

. Move the recorder.

Data on the HDD may be lost if the power fails during recorder operation.

The HDD is very sensitive. Improper handling or an unsuitable environment could damage the HDD after a few years in operation.

Sudden stopping during playing and visible mosaic effects in the picture are an indication of this. There may be no advance warning signs for an HDD defect. Recordings cannot be played if the HDD is defective. The HDD must be replaced in this case.
