•Bang & Olufsen Beomaster 7000 Radio/Amplifier (for quality sound)
•Bang & Olufsen Beocord 8000 Audio Tape Cassette Player
•Toshiba 2918DH Television (TV)
•Panasonic NV-HV60 Video Cassette Recorder (VCR)

1.5 Some Technical Terms
TERM MEANING
BRC Beomaster Remote Control (s). Small one in bedroom and large one in
lounge room.
Button A button on a Remote Control (shown in Bold Face, e.g. DVB) or
displayed on screen.
Chapter and Track Each title can contain one or more “Chapters” or “Tracks”
DRC DVR Remote Control
DVD Digital Versatile Disk. A removable storage device for video and data
files. We make a distinction between:
•DVD-R or DVD+R, disks that can be recorded once only.
•DVD-RW or DVD+RW, disks that are rewritable.
Recordings on rewritable DVD disks can be done in several sessions
(prior to disk finalisation).
DVDs recorded can always be played back on this device, but to make a
recorded DVD playable on a computer and other DVD players a process
of “Disk Finalisation” needs to be performed.
DVR Digital Video Recorder. A machine that can record video using digital
(rather than analogue) technology. This term is perhaps not used as
much as PVR, but is probably the better term.
HDD Hard Disk Drive. A storage device for large amounts of data. The
Tevion DVR has an HDD capacity of 400Gb,
Key A key on a Remote Control (shown in Bold Face, e.g. HDD)
PVR Personal Video Recorder. A machine that can record video not just for
you but for anyone else who is around.
Recording Quality This device can record on HDD and DVD in six different densities
giving rise to six different levels of recording quality each taking up
increasing amounts of space:
SPEED DVD HDD QUALITY
SLP (Super Long Play) 6 hrs 562 hrs Low
EP (Extended Play) 4 hrs 371 hrs Moderate
LP (Long Play) 3 hrs 261 hrs Normal
SP+ (Standard Play +) 2.5 hrs 221 hrs Good
SP (Standard Play) 2 hrs 191 hrs Very Good
HQ (High Quality) 1 hrs 94 hrs Best
Title Each recording is called a “Title” or a “program”. The term “Title” is
also used for a text field associated with a recorded TV program in
which you can enter a textual name to identify the program.
TRC TV Remote Control
VCR Video Cassette Recorder. Amachine that can record video on video
tape cassettes.
VRC VCR Remote Control

2.2 Connection Details
Cable connections are shown below to facilitate reconnections should that be required. Most
cables are Quad Shielded Radio Frequency (RF) Coaxial type. By utilising the “pass-
through/loop” features on both DVR and VCR, the cabling has been made as simple as possible
giving priority to the DVR and VRC and leaving only Radio/Amplifier and TV to be connected
via a splitter. One socket on Booster and one socket on Splitter are still unused.

3. Initial DVR Set Up Procedure
After all device connections have been accomplished a number of initial setup procedures will
need to be performed. Areas shaded in grey may or may not be needed as part of the procedure
(they are mostly to do with our particular procedures for powering devices up or down).
3.1 Searching for Australian Free-to-Air TV Channels
Since we are (in Australia) still using analogue TV signals, the available channels need to be
configured:
1. On TRC press Power button to turn on the TV (if not already on).
2. On TRC press button until
2
is shown.
3. On DRC press STANDBY/ON button to turn on the DVR and wait until “No disc”
message is shown.
4. On DRC press SETUP button to enter “Setup” menus and display the “Setup Menu –
Recording”.
5. On DRC press Right Arrow button to actually enter “Setup Menu – Recording”.

8. On DRC in “Scan Channels” screen press SELECT button leaving “Tuner input source”
set to “Air”.
9. On DRC press SELECT button to start a search for Analogue TV Channels.
10. The actual scanning will take a minute or two and will probably find six Fre-to-Air TV
channels. Each channel found is identified by a program number (Pxxx) and a channel
number (CHzzz).
11. On DRC press Down Arrow button to “Program Table”. Then press SELECT button to
enter the “Sort” screen where the list of program numbers and channel names will be
visible. The list is as follows:
P003 CH002 (should be renamed ABC01)
P009 CH007
P011 CH009
P013 CH010
P025 CH028 (should be renamed SBS28)
P028 CH031
12. On DRC press Down Arrow button to get to P003 CH002 then press the SELECT
button to enter the “Modify channel information” screen.
13. On DRC press Down Arrow button to move down to the Name field and change it one
character at a time to the desired name (e.g. CH002 changed to ABC01) and leaving all
other settings as they are.
14. Repeat Steps 11-13 renaming CH028 to SBS28.
15. On DRC press SETUP button to exit “Setup” menus.

4. DVR Set Up Menus in Detail
As demonstrated in the previous chapter, the Setup menus can be accessed by pressing the
SETUP button on the DRC. Navigation is done by means of the Right Arrow,Left Arrow,
Up Arrow,Down Arrow and SELECT buttons.
Here is a detailed description of each Setup menu.
4.1 Setup Menu – Recording
This menu deals with settings that have an impact on recording of TV programs.
Submenu Comments
Auto Chapter Marker Enables a given recording to be divided into time periods or
“Chapters” of equal length, so you can skip a certain amount
of time forwards or backwards using the NEXT or PREV
buttons on the DRC. This would probably not be relevant for
recordings that already have a natural division into Chapters,
such as classical music videos; for such a recording the
feature should be turned Off.
5 Options: 5/10(default)/20/30/Off
Set to 5 mins
Record Quality Enables the quality of a recording to be reduced so as to take
up less space on the recording media. This device can record
on HDD and DVD in six different densities giving rise to six
different levels of recording quality each taking up an
increasing amounts of space:
SPEED 4.7Gb DVD HDD QUALITY
SLP (Super Long Play) 6 hrs 562 hrs Low
EP (Extended Play) 4 hrs 371 hrs Moderate
LP (Long Play) 3 hrs 261 hrs Normal
SP+ (Standard Play +) 2.5 hrs 221 hrs Good
SP (Standard Play) 2 hrs 191 hrs Very Good
HQ (High Quality) 1 hrs 94 hrs Best
Choosing the highest quality setting (HQ) would only be of
interest for classical music videos, but for ordinary videos the
lowest quality setting (SLP) may not be quite good enough
(EP will probably be an adequate choice).
Set to EP = Extended Play
