Special features of your DVD recorder
Your DVD recorder provides you with perfect digital video recording
and playback in studio quality.
It also provides superb cinema-quality audio playback – in stereo or
with digital multi-channel sound – depending on the type of disc and
audio system or stereo television.
Other features of DVD video include the choice of audio channel and
language, choice of subtitle language, and various camera recording
angles. Your DVD recorder is suitable for DVDs with regional code 2.
In addition to DVDs it can play MP3 CDs, video CDs, S Video CDs,
JPEG encoded (photo) CDs, KODAK picture CDs, WMA CDs and audio
CDs.
Disc formats
DVD+RWs and DVD+Rs are suitable for recording and playback.
Due to the difference in quality of the recording media and the quality of
the recording itself, it can occasionally happen that some recorded
DVDs or CDs cannot be read. This does not indicate a malfunction on
the part of the DVD recorder.
Recordings you make on DVD+Rs must be finalised.
When MP3 CDs are played back, individual tracks or pictures may be
skipped or incorrectly played back. This can be due to the disc configu-
ration, the encoder software or the hardware used for the recording.
Audio CDs (CDDA) meet the specification and bear the corresponding
logo. Copy-protected CDs do not meet this specification and do not
bear the corresponding logo. These CDs can cause playback errors.

SET-UP AND SAFETY___________________________
Please note the following information when setting up your DVD recorder:
This DVD recorder is designed to record and play back video and audio
signals.
Any other use is expressly prohibited.
If the DVD recorder is subjected to a sudden change in temperature, for
example if it is brought in from the cold to a warm room, connect it to the
mains supply and let it stand for at least two hours before you insert a disc.
The DVD recorder is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it in the
open, please ensure that it is protected from moisture, such as rain or water
splashes.
Place the DVD recorder on a hard, level surface. Do not place any objects
such as newspapers on the DVD recorder, or any cloth or similar items
underneath it.
Do not place the DVD recorder directly on top of an AV receiver or a sub-
woofer. The laser optics are sensitive to temperature and shocks.
Do not place the DVD recorder close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as
this will impair cooling.
Do not insert foreign objects in the disc compartment of the DVD recorder.
Never open the DVD recorder casing under any circumstances. No warran-
ty claims are accepted for damage resulting from improper handling.
Do not place any vessels filled with liquid, such as vases, on the DVD
recorder, as they may spill liquid, thus presenting a safety risk.
Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the DVD
recorder is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the
mains. Always disconnect the mains and antenna plugs during a storm.
If the DVD recorder fails to read a DVD or CD properly, clean the disc with a
soft cloth. Wipe the disc from the centre outwards. Do not use cleaning CDs
to clean the laser optics. This can damage the optics.
Always keep the disc compartment closed to prevent dust from collecting on
the laser optics.
This DVD recorder successfully combines technology and environmental
friendliness in its overall design. Only environmentally-friendly, high-quality
materials have been used. The batteries included contain no mercury or
cadmium.

Connecting a rooftop antenna or cable feed
1Plug the cable of the rooftop antenna or cable feed into the
antenna socket »ANTENNA IN« on the DVD recorder.
2Plug the antenna cable supplied into the »ANTENNA OUT
➞TV« socket on the DVD recorder and the antenna socket on
the television set or flat screen.
Connecting a television or flat screen
You have four options, depending on the sockets you have on your
television or flat screen:
– For the best picture quality, make the connection at the EURO-AV
socket using a fully assigned EURO-AV cable.
– Connection via the cinch sockets Y, Pb/Cb and Pr/Cr (video
signals) and the AUDIO OUT cinch sockets (audio signals).
This connection (Progressive Scan) can also be used for projec-
tors.
– The standard connection for many devices, and one which pro-
vides good quality, is via the S-VIDEO OUT socket and the
AUDIO OUT cinch sockets.
– The simplest option which stills offers sufficient quality is to connect
the VIDEO OUT socket and AUDIO OUT sockets using cinch
cables.
Note:
Connect the DVD recorder directly to the television or flat
screen. If you connect a video recorder in between, the DVD’s
copy protection may impair the picture quality.

CONNECTION AND PREPARATION__
Connecting with a cinch cable (progressive scan)
Caution:
This connection transmits video signals at a high frequency
range. Before you first switch on the device, please check
whether your television, flat screen or projector is suitable for
this use.
GRUNDIG accepts no liability for damage resulting from negli-
gent usage.
Notes:
If you connect the DVD recorder using the »Y«, »Pb/Cb« and
»Pr/Cr« sockets, you can switch to “progressive scan” using
the »I/P« button. You must first set the EURO-AV output to
“YUV”, as described on page 59.
Depending on the model of television, flat screen or projector,
you have to activate the relevant input sockets on the device.
1Plug a standard cinch cable into the »Y«, »Pb/Cb« and
»Pr/Cr« sockets on the DVD recorder and the corresponding
socket (e.g. VIDEO IN or COMPONENT Y PB/CB PR/CR) on the
television, flat screen or projector.
2Plug standard cinch cables into the »L AUDIO OUT R« sockets
on the DVD recorder and the corresponding sockets (AUDIO
IN) on the television, flat screen or projector.

Connecting a digital multi-channel amplifier or
digital two-channel audio system
A multi-channel audio/video amplifier (Dolby* digital decoder or
DTS – Digital Theatre System) decodes the digital multi-channel
sound of the DVD to provide optimum sound quality.
1Plug the cinch cable supplied into the »DIGITAL AUDIO
OUT« socket on the DVD recorder and the corresponding
socket on the digital multi-channel amplifier;
or
plug a standard optical cable into the »DIGITAL AUDIO
OUT« socket on the DVD recorder and the corresponding
socket on the digital multi-channel amplifier.
Even if you are using a digital connection, you should still make
an analogue audio connection (see page 17) because depend-
ing on the disc type, the »DIGITAL AUDIO OUT« socket may
not be able to transfer the signal.
