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.

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.

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.

7

Overview

What is DV?

Using DV, also known as i.LINK, you can connect a
DV-equipped camcorder to the HDD/DVD Recorder
using a single DV cable for input and output of
audio, video, data and control signals.

The i.LINK interface is also known as IEEE 1394-

1995.

‘i.LINK’ and the ‘i.LINK’ logo are trademarks.

• The HDD/DVD Recorder is only compatible with

DV-format (DVC-SD) camcorders. Digital
satellite tuners and Digital VHS video recorders
are not compatible.

• You cannot connect more than one DV
camcorder at a time to the HDD/DVD Recorder.

• It may not always be possible to control the
connected camcorder via the DV IN jack.

• Audio input to the DV IN jack should be 32 or
48kHz (not 44.1kHz).

• Picture disturbance on the recording may occur
if the source component pauses playback or
plays an unrecorded section of tape, or if the
power fails in the source component, or if the
DV cable becomes disconnected.

About DVD Recording

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

8

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 or BIL II.

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.

Copyright Notice

• 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 U.S.patents and
other intellectual property rights owned by
Macrovision Corporation and other rights
owners. Use of this copyright protection
technology must be authorized by Macrovision
Corporation, and is intended for home and
other limited viewing uses only unless
otherwise authorized by Macrovision
corporation. Reverse engineering or
disassembly is prohibited.

Precautions

NoYes

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.
