GDR 6460 VCR DVD/VCR REORDER

Special features of your DVD/VCR recorder

Your DVD/VCR recorder provides you with perfect 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/VCR 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 and audio CDs.

Your DVD/VCR recorder can make copies from DVD+RW and DVD+R onto video cassettes and from video cassette onto DVD+RW and DVD+R. When making copies please ensure that you do not infringe the copyright of third parties.

Disc formats

DVD+RWs and DVD+Rs are suitable for recording and playback.

DVD video, DVD-R, DVD-RW, audio CD, video CD, Super Video CD, CD-R and CD-RW can all be used for 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/VCR 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 configuration, the encoder software or the hardware used for the recording.

Audio CDs (CDDA) meet the appropriate 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.

SETUP AND SAFETY

Please note the following information when setting up your DVD/VCR recorder:

This DVD/VCR recorder is designed to record and play back video and audio signals.

Any other use is expressly prohibited.

If the DVD/VCR 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 or cassette.

The DVD/VCR 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/VCR recorder on a hard, level surface. Do not place any objects such as newspapers on the DVD/VCR recorder, or a tablecloth or other similar item underneath it.

Do not place the DVD/VCR recorder directly on top of an AV receiver or a subwoofer. The laser optics are sensitive to temperature and shocks.

Do not place the DVD/VCR recorder close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as this will impair cooling.

Do not insert foreign objects in the disc compartment or the cassette compartment of the DVD/VCR recorder.

Never open the DVD/VCR recorder casing under any circumstances. No warranty claims are accepted for damage resulting from improper handling.

Do not place any vessels filled with liquid, such as vases, on the DVD/VCR recorder, as they may spill liquid, thus presenting a safety risk.

Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the DVD/VCR 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/VCR 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/VCR 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.

CONNECTION AND PREPARATION

Connecting a rooftop antenna or cable feed

Plug the cable of the rooftop antenna or cable feed into the antenna socket ANT. IN on the DVD/VCR recorder.
2 Plug the antenna cable supplied into the ANT. OUT socket on the DVD/VCR recorder and the antenna socket on the television set or flat screen.

Connecting a television or flat screen

You have three 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 and Pr (picture signals) and the AUDIO OUT cinch sockets (sound signals).

This connection (Progressive Scan) can also be used for projectors.

• The standard connection for many devices, and one which provides good quality, is via the S-VIDEO OUT socket and the AUDIO OUT cinch sockets.

Note:

Connect the DVD/VCR recorder directly to the television or flat screen. If you connect a video recorder in between, the DVD/VCR recorder'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 negligent usage.

Notes:

If you connect the DVD/VCR recorder using the Pr , Pb and Y sockets, you can switch to progressive scan using the P.SCAN button. You must first set the EURO-AV output to "YUV", as described on page 21.

Depending on the model of television, flat screen or projector, you have to activate the relevant input sockets on the device.

1 Plug a standard cinch cable into the «Pr», «Pb» and «Y» sockets of the DVD/VCR recorder and in the corresponding sockets (e.g. VIDEO IN or COMPONENT Y P_B / C_B P_R / C_R ) of the television, flat screen of projector.
2 Plug standard cinch cables into the «AUDIO OUT R« sockets on the DVD/VCD recorder and the corresponding sockets (AUDIO IN) on the television, flat screen or projector.

CONNECTION AND PREPARATION

Connecting a television or flat screen using a EURO-AV (Scart) cable

1 Plug the EURO-AV cable supplied into the »EURO AV1« socket on the DVD/VCR recorder and the corresponding socket on the television or flat screen.

Connecting a television or flat screen using a Y/C (S-VIDEO) cable and cinch cables

1 Plug a standard Y/C cable into the «S-VIDEO OUT« socket of the DVD/VCR recorder and into the corresponding socket (S VIDEO IN) of the television or flat screen.
2 Plug standard cinch cables into the «AUDIO OUT RL« sockets on the DVD/VCR recorder and the corresponding sockets (AUDIO IN) on the television or flat screen.

CONNECTION AND PREPARATION

Connecting an audio system with analogue two-channel stereo sound

As an alternative to using the television's speakers, the sound can also be played back through an audio system. This can improve the sound quality.

1 Plug a standard cinch cable into the «AUDIO OUT R L« socket on the DVD/VCR recorder and the corresponding sockets on the audio system.

Caution:

Do not connect the «AUDIO OUT R L« sockets on the DVD/VCR recorder to the PHONO (record player) input socket on the audio system.

CONNECTION AND PREPARATION

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.

1 Plug the cinch cable supplied into the >DIGITAL AUDIO OUT< socket on the DVD/VCR recorder and the corresponding socket on the digital multi-channel amplifier.

Note:

Even if you are using a digital connection, you should still make an analogue audio connection (see page 16) because depending on the disc type, the «DIGITAL AUDIO OUT« socket may not be able to transfer the signal.

Playback of an MP3 CD

MP3 CD features

MP3 stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 and arises from the Motion Picture Expert Group (MPEG) Standard which was developed for compressing film data.

The MP3 format enables audio files to be saved on a data carrier with a sound quality similar to that of a CD. This only requires about 10% of the original data quantity. The standard encoding bit rate for MP3 files is 128 kbps. Generally, the higher the bit rate of an MP3 file, the better the sound quality.

Most MP3 files on the Internet are encoded at 128 or 160 kbps. 160 kbps is considered CD quality.

MP3 CDs contain sound recordings. They can be played in the normal manner on an audio system. The digital signals transmitted during MP3 playback are PCM encoded, regardless of the audio output setting. The signals are output with the same data rate as the music source (possibilities are: 32 kbps - 320 kbps, ideally: 128 kbps).

MP3 files can be organised into folders and sub folders, in a similar way to files on a PC.

Playback

JPEG CD features

JPEG stands for Joint Picture Experts Group. This process was designed to compress picture files.

JPEG files can be burned onto a CD along with other file types. These CDs are known as file CDs or mixed-mode CDs. For example, the CD could contain MP3 files (audio) and JPEG files (for example to display album covers).

The files on a JPEG CD can be organised in directories. This structure is similar to that of an MP3 CD.

JPEG CDs only contain data in the compressed JPEG format. This is mostly data from digital cameras or from imaging programs.

KODAK picture CD features

This method was developed for archiving analogue photographs.

After they are developed, small photographs are scanned with a resolution of 1536 × 1024 pixels and burnt onto a CD in JPEG format.

A KODAK picture CD can contain up to 40 pictures. In addition to the picture files, a KODAK picture CD can also contain imaging software which enables the user to play the CD on a PC, edit the pictures or view a slide show.

Information about the VPS/PDC system

This system guarantees successful recording if the programme you intend to record is delayed.

Many television stations broadcast a supplementary signal (VPS/PDC signal) which indicates the start and duration of each individual television program. When you are programming the video recorder, it is therefore important to enter the times when it is to switch on and off to the nearest minute.

If television programmes are changed or re-scheduled, then special VPS/PDC times which must be entered instead of the scheduled times are detailed in the television guides.

In the case of television stations which do not transmit a VPS/PDC signal, recording depends solely on the times set for the video recorder to switch on and off. This is regardless of whether you confirm or delete VPS/PDC signal when you program the video recorder.

If you want to record several programs from different television stations, you should decide which should take priority in the case of overlaps due to re-scheduling.

This operating software is available from specialist dealers or will be available shortly on the Grundig web sites: www.grundig.com and www.grundig.de. Any instance of operating software from a dubious Internet source being loaded to the device will impair functioning and also, since it is an unauthorised intervention, invalidate any claims under the guarantee.

GRUNDIG will refuse to refund any costs resulting in such cases. Any repair costs in such cases, even those occurring within the guarantee period, are to be paid by the customer.
