DVD 2 is both a DVD player and a
hard disc recorder. With both DVD
and high capacity hard disc in the
same DVD player, you have the
flexibility to keep recordings on the
hard disc or copy to a recordable
DVD disc for safekeeping or later
viewing. The hard disc functionality
also has a Replay buffer, which
allows you to pause an on-going
programme and after a short break
carry on where you left off.
The DVD player has a built-in GUIDE Plus+
system. This system offers a free programme
listings guide for all supported television
channels available in your area. You can also
use the GUIDE Plus+ system to programme the
DVD player to record your favourite television
programmes. Not all television channels are
supported by the GUIDE Plus+ system.
Note that in some countries the programme
listings guide is not available.
Depending on what the main function of
your DVD player is to be, you can set it up in
three different ways. However, you can access
all functionalities of the DVD player regardless
of the configuration.
If the main function is to play back DVD discs, make
sure that your DVD player is registered as ‘DVD’
in the CONNECTIONS menu of your television. For
further information about playback of DVD discs,
refer to ‘Play discs’ on page 12.
However, if the main function of your DVD player
is hard disc recording, it must be registered as
‘V MEM’* in the CONNECTIONS menu of the tele-
vision. You should also register your DVD player as
‘V MEM’, if it is connected to a system that already
has a DVD player. The DVD button on your Beo4
remote control will in this case be occupied by the
other DVD player and therefore it can not be used
for DVD 2. For further information about hard disc
recording, refer to ‘Record here and now’ on page
20 and ‘Timer recording’ on page 16.
If the main function of your DVD player is to record
here and now, it must be registered as V.AUX2 in
the CONNECTIONS menu of your television. If
registered as V.AUX2, the DVD player will start
op in tuner mode. For further information about
recording, refer to ‘Record here and now’ on
page 20.
The registration in the CONNECTIONS menu also
determines which Beo4 button activates the DVD
player; DVD, V MEM or V.AUX2.
