Connecting video recorders or camcorders
You can connect any video recorder to your TV set. As you can well imagine, Loewe video
recorders are particularly well adapted to the TV sets of the same make. This has the
advantage that you can control the most important functions of the video recorder with
the TV remote control. If your TV set is fitted with a satellite tuner you can record both
terrestrial and satellite programs accurately with „Timer recording".
There are two ways to connect your video recorder to the TV set.
1. An antenna - video recorder - TV connection, this allows you to tape a TV program with
the video recorder and watch another program on the TV at the same time. The
disadvantages of this type of connection are:
• Poorer picture and sound quality in reproduction.
• Reproduction in stereo sound not possible.
• You cannot use the TV timer functions.
2. A connection by means of an AV cable from the video recorder to one of the EURO-AV
sockets on the TV set. The advantages of this type of connection are:
• Better picture and sound quality.
• Stereo sound reproduction is possible.
• You can select Sound 1 or Sound 2 when playing back a 2 Sound recording.
• A concealed Loewe video recorder can be operated with the TV remote control.
• The possibility of recording programmes with the videorecorder with the timer and
the TV set receiver units.
• The possibility of recording programs with the video recorder with the timer and the
receiving points of the TV.
We recommend both types of connection, in this way you can use all the functions of your
video recorder and TV set without restrictions.
Video playback through the antenna socket
Program slot 00 is preprogrammed specially (short time constant) for good reception of
the video recorder channel (CH 36). Select this program slot on the TV set. Most video
recorders are set to channel 36 or 37. You can check this by switching on the video
recorder's „test signal" or switching the video recorder to play. If you do not get perfect
picture and sound reproduction or no reproduction at all, you can set the video recorder's
transmitter to another channel. Channels 30 to 39 are normally used. There is an adjustor
„RF CHANNEL ADJ" on the back of the video recorder. Set the video recorder's
transmitter so that the picture and sound are reproduced perfectly. Of course you can
also use the „Station search and store" menu to find and fine tune the video recorder
transmitter.
