PRECAUTION FOR Hard Disk Drive

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 phenom
enon 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.

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.

NOTES:

●

Auto clock set is performed first. The auto clock set
function scans all the channels received by your
recorder to find the Host Channel and then sets the
clock. "Auto" blinks on the front display panel during
Auto clock set.

●

Auto channel set is performed next. The auto channel
set function scans all the channels that are receivable
by your recorder. It then automatically assigns each
receivable channels to the CH +/– buttons. It skips
non-receivable channels. During auto channel set the
channel numbers are displayed as they are scanned
and set.

●

When Plug & Play has been completed successfully the
correct time is displayed.

●

If an incorrect time or “– –:– –” appears on the

Failed” below.

During Initial Auto Clock Set

"Auto" blinks.

During Auto Channel Set

The channel numbers are displayed
as they are scanned and set.

Plug & Play Completed

The current time (including
AM/PM) is displayed.

* If an incorrect time or “– –:– –” appears on the display panel, see “What To Do If Plug & Play Has Failed” below.

INFORMATION

● If “AUTO CLOCK” is set to “ON” at the Clock Set screen on page 11, the clock will be adjusted automatically by the host
channel every hour on the hour (except for 11:00 PM, midnight, 1:00 AM and 2:00 AM) by the incoming PBS channel clock
setting data. (This automatic clock adjustment can only be performed when the recorder’s power is turned off. The clock will
be adjusted on the hour based on the time displayed on the recorder, not on the actual real time.) The default setting of
“AUTO CLOCK” is “ON”.

● If the memory backup fails, because of a power outage or because the AC was removed from the recorder, Plug & Play will be
performed when power is restored to the recorder.

What To Do If Plug & Play Has Failed

● If an incorrect time is displayed on the front display panel, you may be receiving the clock setting data of a PBS channel from
an adjacent time zone, or an incorrect PBS channel from a cable TV system. In this case, perform the Semi-Auto (墌 pg. 11) or
Manual Clock Set (墌 pg. 12) procedure. Auto channel set has already taken place and it need not be set again.

● If “- -:- -” appears on the display, your antenna cable may not be connected to the recorder or there may not be a Host PBS
signal available in your area. Ensure that the antenna cable is connected correctly. Then power on and power off the recorder;
the Plug & Play function will be automatically reactivated and “Auto” will be displayed on the recorder’s front panel. If Plug &
Play is not performed but the antenna cable is connected correctly, perform the Manual Clock Set procedure (墌 pg. 12). Auto
channel set has not yet taken place, so please also perform the “Set Receivable Channels” procedure (墌 pg. 13).

About Your Cable Box

This recorder has two separate methods to control your Cable
Box.

●

The recorder’s Wireless Remote Control Unit can control your
Cable Box.
This eliminates the need for a separate Cable Box Remote
Control Unit.

●

The recorder’s Controller can also control your Cable Box.
This allows the recorder to change your Cable Box's channel
number during timer recording.

Each method must be set up separately. To set up the recorder’s
Remote Control unit, refer to page 83. To set up the Controller
go to page 16.

NOTES:

●

Although the supplied Controller is compatible with many
different cable box brands, it is possible that it will not work
with your cable box.

●

If your cable box doesn’t respond to any code between 1 and
25, you can’t use the Controller to change cable box
channels. In this case, make sure to leave the cable box
turned on and tuned to the proper channel before the
scheduled start of timer recording.
Please contact your cable company about the possibility of
exchanging your current cable box with one that is compatible
with your recorder.

●

The recorder can only change the cable box channel through
the Controller during timer recording.

●

If your cable box is one that can’t be operated with a remote
control (because it has no remote sensor), you can’t use the
Controller to change its channels. Make sure to leave the
cable box turned on and tuned to the proper channel before
the scheduled start of timer recording.

●

If the recorder’s memory backup expires because of a power
failure, set the cable box output channel and brand again.

DBS Receiver
Control

Suggested Location

Place the DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) receiver on top of the
recorder. Attach the recorder’s Controller to the top of the
recorder with the Controller’s transmitter pointed towards the
DBS receiver's remote sensor.

ATTENTION:

The Controller can also control a cable box. If both a DBS
receiver and a cable box are used, position the controller so its
signal reaches the remote control sensors of both the DBS
receiver and cable box.

INITIAL SETTINGS (cont.)

The following procedure is required if you receive satellite channels
through a DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) Receiver. The Controller
allows the recorder to automatically switch the DBS Receiver's
channels during timer recording.

NOTES:

●

The recorder can automatically change the DBS Receiver
channels using the controller when the recorder has been
programmed using Express Timer Programming (墌 pg. 58).
Because satellite programming does not use PlusCode; the
Controller cannot change the DBS Receiver channels during
the VCR Plus+ Timer Recording.

●

If a cable box is also used it is recommended that you
connect the DBS receiver to your recorder’s A/V inputs and
the cable box to your recorder’s antenna input.

PLAYBACK FEATURES for HDD deck

Live Memory

EN 27

Setting Time for
Live Memory Playback

ACCESS MAIN MENU

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
programs received with the tuner or from an externally­connected equipment — CATV or DBS, and can watch them
only a few seconds behind actual air time.

In this recorder, viewing a program through HDD (not a
recorded program) means you are always watching the program
temporarily recorded on it.
This feature enables you to reverse the program back to view
any previous part of it — so called “Live Memory Playback”,
which was impossible until now.

To access “Live Memory Playback”, all that you have to do is to
turn on the recorder and select the HDD deck.
So, the temporary recording is started on the HDD deck.
And, 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 program to review any
previous part, the recorder continues recording the same
program or externally-input signals.

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 programs, 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.

About limitation on Live Memory Playback

Recording to perform Live Memory playback, which means
the use of temporary recording on the hard disk, works for
signals from built-in tuners, external tuners and externally­connected equipment. This feature also works for copy­protected programs.
The temporary recording for Live Memory is canceled in the
following cases, and will start all over again when it is to
resume.

• When channels are changed

• When the power is turned off

• When the thumbnails are changed

• When the setting for Live Memory playback is changed

• When recording is started via the HDD deck or the VHS

deck

• When a recorded program is played back or deleted
