Video tapes recorded with this video recorder in the LP (Long 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

... in direct sunlight. ... in a dusty environment. ... in an environment where strong magnetic fields are

... on a surface that is unstable or subject to vibration.

2. DO NOT block the recorder’s ventilation openings or holes.

(If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)

3. DO NOT place heavy objects on the recorder or remote control.

4. DO NOT the recorder or remote control.

(If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, fire or electric shock may be caused.)

5. DO NOT expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing.

6. DO NOT use this equipment in a bathroom or places with water. Also DO NOT place any containers filled with water or liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants, cups, etc.) on top of this unit.

7. DO NOT lighted candles, on the apparatus.

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

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.

●

NOTES:

●

When you connect the recorder’s power plug to the mains outlet, the HDD starts its setup and it continues for a while. Press

its setup.

●

The hard disk may produce mechanical noise, but it is not a malfunction.

on the recorder to use it after the HDD completes

ATT E NT I ON :

To mobile phone users:

Using a mobile phone in the vicinity of the recorder may cause picture vibration on the TV screen or change the screen to a blue back display.

On placing the recorder:

Some TVs or other appliances generates strong magnetic fields. Do not place such appliance on top of the recorder as it may cause picture disturbance.

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.

Some Do’s And Don’ts On The Safe Use Of Equipment

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.

read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.

ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.

consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.

be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.

ABOVE ALL...

continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way — switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer. remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages. leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family knows how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people. use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of road safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving. listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing. obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment. use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions. allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.

Recording Speed on the HDD deck

This recorder has a 80 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:

RECORDING/PLAYBACK ON HDD DECK (cont.)

Live Memory Features

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 or record any previous part of it. This is called “Live Memory Playback” or “Live Memory Recording”, 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.
