HDMI (DVI) connection
The HDMI connection (High Defi ni-
ton Multimedia Interface) allows
digital picture and sound transmis-
sion via a connecting cable, e.g. to
Loewe Flat TV sets. The digital picture and sound
data are transmitted without data compression
and therefore lose none of their quality. In the
equipment connected, no analogue/digital conver-
sion is necessary, which might also have lead to
losses in quality.
DVI signals can be also be reproduced by the
HDMI connection using a DVI/HDMI adapter cable.
This is possible because HDMI is based on DVI and
is downwardly compatible. That means that the
digital video signals are transmitted via HDMI - no
audio signals are transmitted, though. In addition,
both use the same copy protection method HDCP.
(High Defi nition Content Protection).
Switch the TV set or monitor with HDMI connec-
tion and the recorder off.
Connect the DVD recorder to a TV set or monitor
with HDMI connection as described on page 14.
Then switch on the TV set or monitor, wait 30
seconds and then switch on the recorder.
Log in the HDMI connection in the TV set’s con-
nection wizard (see TV set user guide).
If transmission takes place on a DVI/HDMI
adapter cable, connect the analogue or digital
audio outputs of Centros to the appropriate
inputs of the TV set as described on page 15/16.
Leave the existing SCART connection as it is to
record from the TV.

HDMI operation
Switch over the TV set to the HDMI AV input
(happens automatically in connection with a
Loewe Flat TV set).
Press the HDMI button on the front of Centros
to switch over to digital video output.
Set the desired resolution on the front of Centros
with the Pixel button. Press the Pixel button
repeatedly to set the desired picture resolution
(e.g. 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i).
Note: You can only set resolutions within the
scope of your TV’s capabilities. Select resolution
720p on Centros for optimum picture quality.
Press at Centros to open the disk drawer.
Load the selected disk in the drawer with the
side to be played facing down.
Press at Centros to close the disk drawer.
Playing starts either automatically or by press-
ing
or you have to make entries in the
menu depending on the medium.
Notes:
The other sockets (VIDEO OUT, S-Video and
Component Video) have no function during the
HDMI mode.
With an HDMI connection the audio scanning
frequency is only 48 kHz, even when selecting
96 kHz.
This recorder performs no internal (2-channel)
decoding of DTS soundtracks.
In order to enjoy DTS multi-channel surround
sound, this recorder must be connected by one
of the digital audio outputs to a DTS-compatible
receiver.
If the “Dolby Digital” or “MPEG” option has not
been set to “PCM” in the Setup menu (see page
22), no sound is output over the HDMI cable.
