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 GB), 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
recording quality SQ or EQ is transmitted for DVD recorders, in additional 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 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 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 con-
cealed 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
AV
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 fi rst 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 fi nd the AV sockets at
the top of the list.
