What is Data Logic?

Until now, your TV set and your video recorder were two separate
and independent devices.

With the new "Data Logic", we have created a dialogue system
with which the TV set and the video recorder can exchange data.

Video recorders of the Metz VC/VD/VE/VF Series with Data
Logic offer the following functions:

• Automatic transfer of station information for terrestrial or cable reception.

• Direct TV recording:

the video recorder records the programme currently displayed
on the TV screen, regardless of whether this comes from a terre-
strial antenna, a cable system or a satellite.

• NexTView programming*:

the timer of your video recorder and/or satellite receiver can be
programmed with the aid of an electronic programme magazine.

• Direct control of recording:

with the menu "AV recording" or "Timer recording".

• Status messages (such as "Timer recording started") are sent

from the video recorder to the TV set and displayed there. (Not
available on VC Series)

• Automatic switching to the AV programme position

(Not available on VC Series).

• Automatic power-off of the video recorder if the TV set is swit-

ched to standby mode. (Not available on VC Series)

Video recorders of the Metz VC series, in combination with a Metz
TV set with SAT facility, offer you the tremendous advantage of
problemfree recording of SAT programmes.

1. Connecting a Data Logic video recorder to your TV set

Connect the AV-1 socket of the video recorder to the Euro-1 socket
of your TV set, using a fully connected Scart cable.

Data Logic will work only if there is a connection from
the AV-1 socket to the Euro-1 socket.

• Switch on the video recorder.

2. Setting the TV set for Data Logic

• Select programme position 0 on the TV set.

The TV set has been programmed in the factory for video recorder
operation on programme position 0.

In order to check this, press the white key to display the station table with
programme position 0 selected. The picture signal for this programme
position must be set to "EURO1: LogicVTR" or "EURO1: LogicVTR+D".

If the picture signal is set otherwise, you must set it to EURO 1
"LogicVTR" or "LogicVTR+D" in the menu "Device connection"
(see Page 53 of the Operating Instructions.
