Precautions to take · Ensure that the mains supply in your house complies with that indicated on the identification sticker located at the back of your device · Install your device horizontally, on a suitable base (furniture), with enough space around it for ventilation (7 to 10 cm) · Ensure that the ventilation slots, and the device itself, are not covered by objects such as a mat, newspapers, curtain, etc. · Do not stack any other equipment on top of your DVD recorder · Do not place the device on top of an amplifier or any other equipment that gives off heat · The appliance should not be in contact with liquids or exposed to the risk of dripping or splashing.Therefore be careful not to place any object containing a liquid (vase, glass, bottle,...) on or near your appliance · The DVD recorder must not be near or exposed to a flame. For instance, do not place a candle on or near the device · Protect the DVD recorder from moisture and excess heat (e.g. fireplace) or equipment creating strong magnetic or electric fields (i. e. speakers ...). Before moving the device, ensure the disc tray is empty. Switching off the DVD recorder to the stand-by mode does not disconnect the electricity supply. In order to separate the device completely from the mains, it has to be disconnected by unplugging the mains plug.When connecting, ensure that the plugs of the various cables are pushed securely into their corresponding sockets.Your DVD recorder is not intended for industrial use but for domestic purposes only. Use of this product is for personal use only. Copying CDs or downloading music files for sales or other business purpose is or may be a violation of copyright law.

There are several ways you can incorporate your DVD player into its audio-video surroundings. The simplest of these is described in detail in the Quick Set-up Guide supplied with this handbook. This uses Scart-Peritel cables that combine Audio analogue connections for sound, and Video for the RGB image.This connection ensures the optimum image quality (like Y, U,V). If you cannot use Scart-Peritel sockets, the explanations on this and the followings pages should enable to you to choose the method of connection best suited to the sockets and appliances you have. Sound and image quality depend to a large extent on the types of connections used. Peritel socket (scart) 1 - AV1 (audio - video Outputs) This socket allows you to transfer Audio and Video (sound and images) from your DVD recorder to a television set or other device (flat screen, audiovideo amplifier, etc.) that is fitted with the same type of socket. In order to benefit from the best image quality, ensure that the OUTPUT SEL selector is positioned on RGB (AV1). Note: if you use Y, Pb/Cb Pr/Pb sockets also known as YUV), select the Component Interlaced or Component Progressive position depending on the possibilities of the television set or monitor: · Component Interlaced for interlaced scan, · Component Progressive for progressive scan. 2 - AV2 (audio - video Input and Output) This socket allows the sending of Audio Video (sound and images) from your DVD recorder to another device (satellite or cable receiver, ...) fitted with the same type of socket. If you have connected a cable or satellite receiver to this connector, in the system Options menu select the RGB (AV1) setting in order to benefit from the best image quality for your recordings. Note: the Péritel socket is also known by the name of Péritélévision or Scart. The latter is an abbreviation of « Syndicat des Constructeurs d'Appareils Radioélectriques et de Télévision ». 2 Connections and initial set up Other Audio - Video connections If there is no Peritel-Scart socket available on the television, check to see if there are any other Video sockets (Components, S-Video or Composite) to connect your player by using the corresponding sockets. In this case, do not forget to also connect the player's Audio outputs (AUDIO OUT) to the Audio input sockets (AUDIO IN) on your television. 3 - Audio - Video Input Audio (INPUT L, R) Video - Composite (CVBS) (COMPOSITE VIDEO INPUT) inputs The analogue sound of an operating device (television set or amplifier) can be input via the 2 Audio sockets L and R of your DVD recorder. The yellow video socket is also called composite video, or CVBS. the image quality provided by this socket is less than all the other video sockets. Only use this socket if all the other sockets are already in use. EN 4 - Audio - Video Output Audio outputs (OUTPUT L, R) Composite Video Out socket (CVBS) (COMPOSITE VIDEO OUTPUT) Analogue sound output and composite images (CVBS) from the disc being played are constantly available at your DVD recorder's two audio sockets (L & R) and video socket. 5 - Composite Video Outputs (Y, Pb/Cb, Pr/Cr) (YUV) The Y, Pb/Cb, Pr/Cr sockets deliver an optimum image quality due to the separation of the video signal into three separate components (comparable with RGB separation in a Scart-Peritel cable). Note: the available video signal on these 3 sockets depends on the selection made at the rear (Component Interlaced or Component Progressive) of your player. The available signal can be Y, Cb, Cr (Component Interlaced) for a progressive interlaced or Y, Pr, Pb (Component Progressive) for a non interlaced progressive signal (no frame interleave). In order to obtain the best possible image quality, always use very high quality cables for the connections.Your dealer can provide YUV cables that are sold together and come in the standard colour codes (red, green and blue) used for these types of sockets and cables. Note: do not forget to also connect the audio cables, because Component cables only transmit images, and not sound. 3 Connections and initial set up 6 - S-Video Input and Output S-Video input/output (Y/C) (S-VIDEO IN) The S-Video signal is of a lesser quality than that of the RGB signal supplied by the Peritel (Scart) socket. An S-Video signal however provides a better quality image than a composite Video (CVBS) socket, because colour (C) is separated from black and white (Y) in the video signal. Note: do not forget to connect the audio cables since the S-Video cable transmits only images, not sound. 7 - Optical Audio Output (digital sound) The digital sound of a DVD Video disk when played is permanently available on the optical socket of your player. Use this socket by connecting it to a decoder or Dolby Digital amplifier or DTS. 8 - Digital Audio Video outputs The HDMI socket permanently delivers very high quality digital sound and pictures.This connection is strongly recommended with a digital television which is fitted with the same socket and is compatible. HDMI connection, image adjustment If you connect your DVD recorder to a TV set using the HDMI OUT socket, make sure the selector at the rear of your recorder is set to Component Progressive. If no image comes up on your TV screen and you're sure its set to HDMI (via the on-screen menu or other means), try the following resolution adjustment: - In STOP mode (with no disc in the appliance), press the ZOOM button on the remote control several times to adjust the resolution of the HDMI OUT socket output signals to 480p, 720p, or 1080i.These changes are displayed on your recorder's read-out. Note: for an S-video or normal video connection (yellow socket), leave the selector set to RGB. HDMI connection, sound adjustment The sound available from the HDMI OUT output socket can be adjusted in the Digital Audio Out menu (Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG). 4 Connections and initial set up The front of your player recorder 15 14 EN 1 1 On/Off. 2 Fast forward or reverse. 3 Play or Pause (freeze frame) (DVD). 4 To record to the DVD+R/+RW disc. 5 Stop playing or recording. 6 To open and close the disc tray. 7 To record to the hard disc. 8 To select the audiovisual sources (channels 2 3456 78 9 10 11 12 13 11 USB socket for opening and copying JPEG image files or mp3 files from a compatible appliance.
