DivX files and CD-R / CD-RW discs
DivX is a compression format answering the
MPEG-4 standard and that allows an entire film to
be contained on a single CD.
The compatibility of DivX formats depends on
MPEG-4 coding software, disc design software and
the recording software employed, as well as the
discs themselves.
What codecs can your player read?
• Playback of DivX 3.11 content • Playback of
DivX 4 files (MPEG-4 simple profile) • Playback
of DivX 5 files (MPEG-4 simple profile and
additional functions such as bi-directional
frames. Qpel and GMC are not supported) •
Resolutions up to 720 x 480 at 30fps and 720 x
576 at 25fps are supported • Macroblocks per
second 40500 • Maximum average bitrate 4000
kbps • Maximum peak bitrate during any 3
seconds of video 10000 kbps • Minimum VBV
buffer size (kbytes) 384k bytes.
For DivX 3.11 content at Home Theater Profile,
the required average bitrate is 1000 kbps, and the
required maximum peak bitrate is 4000 kbps.
Mpeg4 and Xvid content may or may not play
back depending on the exact recording method
and codec used.
Using the remote control unit correctly
When you use remote control, point the unit at
the appliance you want to control (DVD recorder,
TV set or satellite receiver). Ensure that there is
no obstacle between the remote control unit and
the appliance, otherwise the infrared signal
carrying the remote control commands will be
blocked.To control your DVD recorder, ensure
that the remote control unit is in DVD mode by
pressing once on the DVD key before using any
other keys.
AV Link function
Your DVD recorder is equipped with the
AV
Link
function.This function simplifies channel set-
up by downloading them from an AV Link or
similar television set (Easy Link, Smart Link,
Megalogic, etc.) which is already set up.The
channels downloaded in this way keep the same
characteristics as those of your TV set (same
number, name, etc.).Your DVD recorder’s AV Link
downloading function is enabled (factory setting).
When first turning on the DVD recorder, if the
television is turned on, it will download the
channels already installed in your television set.
Adjusting the G-LINK CABLE
The IR (infrared) controller cell must face the
receiver cell of the satellite receiver.You can
locate the receiver cell of the satellite receiver by
bringing its remote control as close as possible to
the front of the device and trying to change
channels. Move the remote control one
centimetre and try again.When the channel of the
satellite receiver changes, locate the position on
the front of the unit.Then install the IR controller
cell as shown on the diagram below, facing the cell
of the satellite receiver (1 or 2 cm away). If need
be, use the adhesive supplied to stick the cell in
place.
Record
Your DVD recorder has recording functions
similar to a video recorder. It lets you record
programmes to a disc in the DVD family DVD
(DVD+R, DVD+RW) or to the internal hard disc
(DVR or HDD). For the same disc, the recording
time depends on the quality settings that you can
adjust according to the time left on the disc.The
recording may be immediate or deferred.The
recording may be immediate or deferred.
NICAM sound
NICAM sound is digital, compatible with analogue
tv sets. It is broadcast by certain channels and
relayed by certain emmiters in some European
countries. NICAM (Near Instantaneously
Companded Audio Multiplex) is also used to
broadcast Dolby Surround stereophonic
programmes or for simultaneous broadcasting in
two languages or for two different sounds
(intended for blind and poorly sighted people).
Downloading of Naviclick data
the downloading of Naviclick data (at 3am or
8am) can be quite long (up to 2 hours). During
this time you should not use your DVD recorder,
nor turn it on or have a programme programmed
for recording during this updating time (from 3am
to 5am or 8am to 10am) otherwise the
information will be lost. For countries that
provide the NexTView service we recommend
that you set the downloading time to 3am.The
full guide of TV programmes can only be
consulted the following day after an initial
installation. It is necessary to allow your DVD
recorder to download the guide at the time set in
the
Naviclick Setup menu .
