The HDMI connection
(DTH 8550 - DTH 8555)
Adjusting the image
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 (2H).
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 (AV1)
.
Sound adjustment
The sound available from the HDMI OUT output socket can be adjusted in the Digital Audio Out menu.
(Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG).

The Export function
Your recorder has separate adjustments for the recording quality on the DVR hard disc and DVD+R/+RW
discs respectively.This means you can copy items recorded with very high quality (e.g., *1: Best) from the
DVR disc to a DVD+R/+RW and adapt the quality to suit (e.g., *3: Good), thus making sure they fit on the
disc.
Please note: to take advantage of this function, you need to deactivate SmartRecord in the Recording
Options menu.
þ
Split Title
This function can be used only for items present on the DVR hard disc and not for those on DVD+RW
discs. To access it, first choose Play All Chapters from the titles menu in the Video Library. This is
because before dividing up a title on the DVR, no titles must be masked.
þ
Hide Title
With this function, you can for example hide chapters in a title present on the DVR before copying that
item to a DVD+RW.This way only the unmasked chapters will be copied to the DVD+RW.
