Timer recording with video or DVD recorder
You can programme timer recordings on the TV set. Programming can be done
with the EPG programme guide (not with DVB-T in UK), teletext or manually. Call
the “Timer list“ menu with the button and press the
red coloured key
for the
“Recording wizard“. Select whether you want to programme the recording via
EPG, teletext or manually. You also have the option to programme recordings
directly from the EPG programme guide or teletext.
Note: Copy-protected programmes are not output to the Euro-AV sockets for legal
reasons.
When you have connected the Euro-AV socket to a recorder which has
Digital
Link Plus
or a comparable system from a different manufacturer, the timer data of
analogue terrestrial stations are transmitted from the TV to the recorder. The recor-
ding quality SQ or EQ is transmitted for DVD recorders, in addition to the station,
date and time. The recording is then controlled by the recorder 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 find 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 station is locked during the timer recording.
If you have connected a Loewe video recorder with
Digital Link
to the Euro-AV
socket (without Digital Link Plus) and you are using the timer programming of the
TV, the TV receiver is always used, for terrestrial stations as well. The TV controls
the recording.
You have to set the recorder to the AV input (signal source) to which the TV set is
connected.
Then the station on the TV set is locked during the timer recording.
Digital Link must be switched on on the recorder.
Read the operating
instructions of your Loewe recorder for more information.
Use only Euro-AV cables, which are completely wired, otherwise Digital Link/Digital
Link Plus will not work.
Another advantage of Digital Link is that you can install the recorder in a conce-
aled 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 advantages.
The advantages of Digital Link Plus are used for the timer recording; the advan-
tages 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/recorder or camcorder on your TV:
1. You can usually use the Euro-AV sockets on the TV set and on the VCR. For
camcorders or digital cameras, use the AVS sockets on the right of the TV set.
DVD players/recorders and SetTopBoxes may have HDMI or component sockets
for video and audio transmission. In this case, use the corresponding sockets
on the TV set.
When playing back from a video recorder using Euro-AV socket and Digital
Link Plus (or a comparable system from another manufacturer), the picture
from the VCR is shown at the current channel location.
When playing back from another VCR, camcorder or digital camera, use the AV
selection or the station list (
OK
) to select the AV socket/the device to which
the VCR is connected.
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 during playback at the
current station location.
2. You can use the antenna connection between the VCR and the TV without a
Euro-AV socket. The sound is only transmitted in mono. Select the first menu
item, e.g. VIDEO, in the AV selection.
Calling AV inputs in the AV selection:
Call AV selection
Select AV device/socket (or VIDEO if the video recorder has been
connected only via the antenna socket) and use ...
to call.
Now you will see the playback from the connected AV device.
Calling AV input via the station list
Call the station list with the
OK
button in TV mode.
In the numeric and alphabetical sorting, you will always find the AV sockets at the
top of the list.
