Disc-related Terms

Title (DVD only)

The main film, accompanying feature content, or music album. Each title is assigned a title reference number enabling you to locate it easily.

Chapter (DVD only)

Sections of a movie or a musical piece that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of one or several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a number to enable you to easily locate the chapter you want. Depending on the disc, chapters may not be labeled.

Track (Audio CD only)

Sections of a movie or a musical piece on an audio CD. Each track is assigned a number, enabling you to easily locate the track you want.

DVD, DVD+R, DVD+RW?

What is a DVD?

DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is a storage medium that combines the convenience of the compact disc with the latest digital video technology. DVD video uses modern MPEG2 data compression technology that enables an entire feature film to be stored on a single five inch disc.

How good is the resolution of DVD compared with VHS?

The razor-sharp digital images have more than 500 lines of resolution at 720 pixels per line. This is more than twice as high as VHS and even better than laser disc quality. DVD picture quality is easily comparable to the digital masters produced in recording studios.

What is a DVD+RW?

DVD+ReWritable uses ‘phase change‘ media, the same technology on which rewritable CDs are based. A high-performance laser is used to change the reflective properties of the recording layer; this process can be repeated more than a thousand times.

What is a DVD+R?

Unlike a DVD+RW disc, a DVD+R (write-once DVD) can only be written to once. If it is not finalised after a recording, further recordings can be added to it. Old recordings can be deleted but they can no longer be overwritten. The deleted recordings (titles) are marked 'deleted title'.

Before a DVD+R can be played in a DVD player, it must be finalised in the HDD/DVD Recorder. Once this process is complete, no further recordings can be added.

What can I do with my HDD/DVD Recorder?

Your HDD/DVD Recorder is a machine for recording and playing back digital video discs with ‘two-way‘ compatibility with the universal DVD video standard. This means:

• existing DVD video discs can be played on the recorder.

• recordings made on your HDD/DVD Recorder can be played on other DVD video players and DVD-ROM drives.

Remark :

A DVD Recorder that supports ‘dual media’ recording allows DVD+RW format recording (+VR) on either DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R or DVD+RW media. Any editing feature that is available with the +RW logical format is available on any of the media types. This system allows the flexibility for the consumer to use any of the above media formats for recording in the same system. Since the +VR format is DVD-Video compatible, the consumer can take any disk recorded on this platform and should be capable of playing it back on the majority of DVD players on the market.

Notes on Recording

• The recording times shown are not exact because the HDD/DVD Recorder uses variable bit-rate video compression. This means that the exact recording time will depend on the material being recorded.

• When recording a TV broadcast, if the reception is poor or the picture contains interference, the recording times may be shorter.

• Discs recorded at high speeds (equal to or greater than 2X) may not be recognized.

• If you record still pictures or audio only, the recording time may be longer.

• The displayed times for recording and time remaining may not always add up to the exact length of the disc.

• The available recording time may decrease if you heavily edit a disc.

• When using a DVD+R disc, you can keep recording until the disc is full, or until you finalise the disc. Before you start a recording session, check the amount of recording time left on the disc.

Recording TV Audio Channels

The HDD/DVD Recorder can record one or two channel audio. For TV broadcasts, this usually means mono or stereo, but some programs are broadcast in bilingual audio channel. You can record either BIL I, BIL II or both.

Restrictions on Video Recording

• You cannot record copy-protected video using this HDD/DVD Recorder. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video discs and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-protected material is encountered during a recording, recording will pause or stop automatically and an error message will be displayed on-screen.

• Video that is ‘copy-once only’ can only be recorded using DVD+RW discs with CPRM.

• Audio and video recordings you make using the HDD/DVD Recorder are for your personal use only. You may not sell, lend, or rent them to other people.

• This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by method claims

INTRODUCTION

Overview

Handling the Unit

When shipping the unit

The original shipping carton and packing materials come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the unit as it was originally packaged at the factory.

When setting up the unit

The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio may be distorted during playback. In this case, position the unit away from the TV, VCR, or radio, or turn off the unit after removing the disc.

To keep the surface clean

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will leave marks on the surface.

Cleaning the Unit

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, or thinners, as these might damage the surface of the unit.

To obtain a clear picture

The HDD/DVD Recorder is a high-tech, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn, the picture quality will be poor. Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the operating environment.) For details, please contact your nearest dealer.

Remote Control Operation Range

Point the remote control at the remote sensor and press the buttons.

Distance: Within 23 ft (7 m) of the remote sensor. Angle: Within 30° in each direction of the remote

sensor.

Remote Control Battery Installation

Detach the battery cover on the rear of the remote control, and insert two AAA batteries. Make sure the polarities (+ and

-) are aligned correctly.

Precautions

Caution

Do not mix old and new batteries. Never mix different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, etc.).

Notes on Discs

Handling Discs

Do not touch the playback side of the disc. Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not get on the surface. Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

Storing Discs

After playing, store the disc in its case. Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources

of heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sunlight, as there may be a considerable temperature increase inside the car, which could distort the disc.

Cleaning Discs

Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor picture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the centre outward.

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, thinners, commercially available cleaners, or antistatic spray intended for older vinyl records.

Note on HDD

• Do not move the recorder immediately after switching it off. Wait at least 2minutes after power-off.

• If the HDD/DVD Recorder is used improperly or in an unsuitable environment, it is possible that the HDD will fail.

• Power failure may cause data loss on the HDD.

• We recommend that you back up your important data to DVD discs in order to protect against accidental loss or possible HDD failure.
