Operating additional equipment
Timer recording with video or DVD
recorder
You can program timer recordings on the TV set. Programming can be done
with the EPG, teletext or manually.
Open the TV menu with the
MENU
button, select the „Recording” menu
item with
and “New recording” with
. Open the menu line below
with
and select whether you want to program the recording by EPG,
teletext or manually.
You also have the possibility of programming a recording from the timer
overview, the program guide-EPG or teletext. In addition you can start a
direct recording with the Record button •.
When you have connected a recorder which has
Digital Link Plus
or a
comparable system from a different manufacturer, the timer data of analog
terrestrial stations are transmitted from the TV to the recorder. The record-
ing quality SQ or EQ is transmitted for DVD recorders addtionally to station,
date and time. The recording is then controlled by the recorder and the and
the recorder tuner is used for reception of the station. The recording data
are not saved in the timer list of the TV set. You will only fi nd the timer
data in the recorder.
If you want to record from digital stations, the TV tuner is used and the
recorder is controlled by the TV set. Then the program is locked during the
timer recording. You can switch over to another station if you have analog
terrestrial reception in addition to the digital satellite tuner (from which you
are recording).
If you have connected a Loewe video recorder with
Digital Link
(without
Digital Link Plus) and you are using the timer programming of the TV, the
TV receiver is always user, for terrestrial stations as well. The TV controls
the recording.
You have to set the recorder to the AV input to which the TV set is con-
nected.
The program is locked during the timer recording. Switching to other sta-
tions is not possible.
Digital Link must be switched on on the recorder.
Read the operating
instructions of your Loewe recorder.
Use only Euro AV cables, which are completely shielded, otherwise Digital
Link/Digital Link Plus will not work.
Another advantages of Digital Link is that you can install the recorder in a
concealed place (e.g. in a rack). You can control the recorder with the TV
set.
If you have a Loewe recorder with both systems, you can use all the advan-
tages. The advantages of Digital Link Plus are used for the timer recording,
the advantages of Digital Link for concealed installation of the recorder.
Video playback
There are several ways to see the picture and hear the sound of the VCR,
DVD player or camcorder on your TV:
1. You can use the Euro AV sockets on the TV set and on the VCR. This
is the best way to get a good picture and sound quality. Use the AVS
sockets on the right of the TV for camcoders and digital cameras.
When playing from a video recorder with Digital Link PLus (or a compa-
rable system from another manufacturer), the picture from the VCR is
shown at the current program place.
When playing back from another video recorder, camcorder or digital
camera, select the AV socket to which the video is connected with AV
selection (button
0 AV
) or with the station table (
OK
).
Video recorders transmit a switching voltage during playback which the
TV can evaluate (can be activated in the connection wizard or in the TV
menu – Connections – Miscellaneous – Allow switching voltage set to
“yes“). Then the picture of the video recorder is shown at the current
program place.
2. Use the antenna connection between the VCR and the TV. The sound is
only transmitted in mono. Select the fi rst menu item, e.g. VIDEO, in the
AV selection.
Calling an AV program in the AV selection list
Call AV selection
Select AV socket (or VIDEO if the video recorder has been
connected via the antenna socket) and with ...
... Call AV station.
Now you will see the playback from the connected AV unit.
Calling AV stations with the station table
Call the station table with the
OK
button in TV mode.
In the numeric sorting you will always fi nd the AV sockets at the top of the
list without station numbers.
