via the scart cable ( EXT 1 TO TV-I/O socket).

MP3 files are highly compressed music files. The data is compressed to 1/10 of the volume of the
original audio material using a special process. This means that 10 hours of music can be stored
on a single CD.
These music CDs can be played on this machine.
Normallya recording is made at the current disc position. This is the same as for a video cassette,
inthe middle of the tape for example. By holding down the REC/OTR nbutton, the recording
willbe made at the end of all the other recordingsto avoid overwriting previous recordings.
Newrecordings on DVD+Rdiscs arealways added after allexisting recordings.
Using your DVD recorder you can record from an RGB source such as a satellite receiver using
a SCART input ( EXT 2 AUX-I/Osocket). Video signals for the colours R(Red), G(Green) and
B(Blue) are transmitted via separate channels. This reduces the interference that occurs with
standard video cables.

DVDrecorder can be played back on current and future DVD players.
