SAFETY FIRST

Safety Precautions

The rating plate and the safety caution are on the rear of the unit.

WARNING: DANGEROUS VOLTAGE INSIDE WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT

TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

CAUTION

When you are not using the recorder for a long period of time, it is recommended that you disconnect

the power cord from the mains outlet. Dangerous voltage inside. Refer internal servicing to qualified service personnel. To prevent electric

shock or fire hazard, remove the power cord from the mains outlet prior to connecting or disconnecting any signal lead or aerial.

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.

It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without

the consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast or cable programme and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic work embodied therein.

● Cassettes marked “S-VHS” and “VHS” can be used with this video cassette recorder. However, S-VHS recordings are possible only with cassettes marked “S-VHS”. By using the S-VHS ET function, it is possible to record and play back with S-VHS picture quality on VHS cassettes with this recorder.

Video tapes recorded with this video recorder in the LP/EP (Long Play/Extended Play) mode cannot be played back on a single-speed video recorder.

When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or a shelf, make sure that it has sufficient space on all sides to allow for ventilation (10 cm or more on both sides, on top and at the rear.)

When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and the local rules or laws governing the disposal of these batteries must be followed strictly.

Failure to heed the following precautions may result in damage to the recorder, remote control or video cassette.

1. DO NOT

... in an environment prone to extreme temperatures or humidity. ... in direct sunlight. ... in a dusty environment. ... in an environment where strong magnetic fields are generated. ... on a surface that is unstable or subject to vibration.

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. The recording speeds of the recorder are set as follows:

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.
