WARNING
There are two different types of SECAM colour systems: SECAM-L, used in FRANCE (also called
SECAM-West), and SECAM-B, used in Eastern European countries (also called SECAM-East).
1. This recorder can also receive SECAM-B colour television signals for recording and playback.
2. Recordings made of SECAM-B television signals produce monochrome pictures if played back on a
video recorder of SECAM-L standard, or do not produce normal colour pictures if played back on a
PAL video recorder with SECAM-B system incorporated (even if the TV set is SECAM-compatible).
3. SECAM-L prerecorded cassettes or recordings made with a SECAM-L video recorder produce
monochrome pictures when played back with this recorder.
4. This recorder cannot be used for the SECAM-L standard. Use a SECAM-L recorder to record SECAM-L
signals.
IMPORTANT
Please read the various precautions on pages 2 and 4 before installing or operating the recorder.

MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Moisture in the air will condense on the recorder when you move it from a cold place to a warm place, or
under extremely humid conditions—just as water droplets form in the surface of a glass filled with cold
liquid. Moisture condensation on the head drum will cause damage to the tape. In conditions where
condensation may occur, keep the recorder turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry.

PRECAUTION FOR Hard Disk Drive
SAFETY FIRST (cont.)
1. Before installing the recorder
This recorder has a built-in hard disk drive,
which is a device to read minute magnetic
changes.
The inside of the device is precision-built,
which, when installing the recorder, requires
you to note the following:
DO NOT use the recorder in a location prone to
●
vibration or dust.
DO NOT place the recorder where difference in
●
temperatures is large (condensation can occur), or
where humidity is high.
– When condensation occurs
Water droplets form on the hard disc or head
drums inside, possibly causing hard disc and
heads to be damaged.
– About condensation
When well-cooled beer is poured into a glass,
water droplets often form around its outside.
This phenomenon is called condensation.
DO NOT install the recorder where the cooling
●
fans in its back may be blocked, or where the
recorder may be closed in.
DO NOT use the recorder placed vertically.
●
NOTE:
The hard disk may produce mechanical noise, but it is not a
malfunction.
2. Before using the recorder
When the power of the unit is on, the hard disc
is constantly rotating at high speed.
This requires you to note the following:
DO NOT impart vibration or shock.
●
If given a heavy shock, not only is the data recorded
damaged but also the hard disk itself can be
damaged.
DO NOT allow anything having strong magnetism
●
or emitting strong electromagnetic waves (cell
phones, etc.) near the recorder.
DO NOT disconnect the power plug from the wall
●
outlet when the power of the recorder is on.
If the power supply is cut off while the hard disc is
in operation, it can be damaged or the data stored
on it may be damaged. Be sure to push the power
button before turning off the power.
3. While using the recorder
When viewing a program by selecting HDD
(Hard Disk Drive), there occurs a slight time lag
relative to the actual program being broadcast.
This is because pictures received are once
stored on the hard disk, and then played back.
The time lag is about three seconds. If you turn
the power on with the hard disk already
selected, it will take about 30 seconds before
the pictures received appear on the screen. Up
until then, any operation is disabled. But it is not
a malfunction.

Recording Speed on the HDD deck
This recorder has a 40 Gbyte hard disk drive. The pictures and
sounds recorded on the HDD deck and other information are
written down on the hard disk drive.
As recording format for the HDD deck, MPEG2 format, the same
for DVD, is used. As a guide for picture quality, the “bps” unit is
used to represent how much data can be recorded per second.
The larger this value, the better the picture quality is but the
more capacity is required for recording. Select SP for
programmes where quick movement occurs, such as sports
programmes, and SEP for talk shows, etc. where relativity less
movement.

Playback
Equipped with a hard disk drive, this recorder allows
information to be written to and read from the hard disk at high
speeds. Taking advantage of this feature, you can temporarily
record programmes received with the tuner or from an externally
connected equipment, and can watch them only a few seconds
behind actual air time.
In this recorder, viewing a programme through HDD (not a
recorded programme) means you are always watching the
programme temporarily recorded on it.
This feature enables you to reverse the programme back to view
any previous part of it. This is called “Live Memory Playback”,
which was impossible until now.
You can select the length of the time for temporary recording
from off, 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 3 hours (
About “Live Memory Playback”
With a certain amount of space (for 30 minutes, 1 hour and 3
hours) reserved on the hard disk, the recorder records broadcasts
being received or signals input from an externally connected
equipment.
Even while you are reversing the programme to review any
previous part, the recorder continues recording the same
programme or externally-input signals.
NOTE:
When the reserved amount of time (or space) runs out, the
recorder overwrites the previous recordings on the hard disk,
starting with the oldest one, repeatedly if necessary. After having
recorded a certain number of programmes, if you try to increase
the amount of your reserved time on HDD, you may not be
allowed to do so because of possible lack of available space,
and the recorder will inform you of this by displaying a message
on the screen.

VPS/PDC Recording
Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme
Delivery Control) and VPS (Video Programme System) are
service designed to assure safe, accurate timer recording.
With this system, special code signals are transmitted
together with the audio/video signals. These code signals
control your video recorder and have precedence over the
advertised times you may have preset into the timer. This
means that your recorder will start and stop recording when
the preset TV programmes actually start and end — even if
the broadcast time of a preset TV programme is changed.
NOTES:
● When you use Express Timer Programming, set the start
time (VPS or PDC time) exactly as advertised in the TV
listing. A different time than advertised will result in no
recording.
● VPS/PDC recording is also possible when a satellite
receiver or a cable system is connected to AV2 (L-2) IN/
DECODER connector on your recorder.
● VPS/PDC recording is also possible via the AV1 (L-1) IN/
OUT connector.

video recorder to the AUX IN or TAPE MONITOR
connectors on your stereo system’s receiver or amplifier.
NOTE:
When listening to sound through the connected stereo system,
turn the TV’s volume down completely.
CAUTIONS:
● This recorder has a dynamic range of more than 80 dB with
regards to its Hi-Fi audio capability. It is recommended that
you check the maximum level if you are going to listen to the
Hi-Fi audio signals through a stereo amplifier. A sudden surge
in the input level to the speakers may damage them.
● Some speakers and televisions are specially shielded to
prevent television interference. If both are of the non-shielded
type, do not place the speakers adjacent to the TV set as this
can adversely affect the video playback picture.

About NTSC Playback
● Some TVs shrink the picture vertically and place black bars at the top and bottom of the
TV screen. This is not a malfunction on the part of either the video recorder or the TV.
● The picture may roll up and down. This can be corrected using the V-HOLD control
found on some TVs. (This cannot be corrected if the TV does not have a V-HOLD
control.)
● The counter and tape remaining time readings will be incorrect.
● During search, still, or frame-by-frame playback, the picture will be distorted, and there
may be a loss of colour.
● Depending on the type of TV, the top and bottom portions of superimposed displays
may be cut off during NTSC playback.

Your recorder is equipped with the Digital TBC (Time Base Corrector) that
removes jitter from fluctuating video signals to deliver a stable picture even with
old tapes and rental cassettes.
The on/off of Digital 3-DNR (Noise Reduction) which cuts noise and enables
clear picture reproduction is also linked to this function.
We recommend that you set “DIGITAL TBC/NR” to “ON” when...
... playing back a tape recorded on a camcorder.
... playing back a tape repeatedly used.
... using this video recorder as the source player for editing.
NOTES:
● If you play back a tape recorded under poor TV reception condition, the picture may
become more stable with Digital TBC/NR set to off.
● When “DIGITAL TBC/NR” is set to “ON”, if you play back a tape where certain types of
signals are recorded (using a PC or some character generators), the playback picture
may be distorted. If this is the case, set “DIGITAL TBC/NR” to “OFF”.
● When playing back a MESECAM tape, Digital TBC/NR does not function even though

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
EN
97
PLAYBACK
Q. What happens if the end of the tape is reached
during playback or search?
A. The tape is automatically rewound to the
beginning.
Q. Can the video recorder indefinitely remain in
the still mode?

protect the heads.
Q. When returning from variable-speed search to
normal playback, the picture is disturbed.
Should I be concerned about this?
A. No, it is normal.
Q. Sometimes, during Index Search, the video

A. There may be index codes too close together.
RECORDING
Q. When I pause and then resume a recording, the

panel. Is there a problem?
A. No. This is a normal condition for a timer
recording in progress.
Q. Can I programme the timer while I’m watching

the Record-Pause mode?
A. No. The video recorder goes to its Stop mode
automatically after 5 minutes to protect the
heads.
