• Do not place any naked ﬂame sources, such as lighted candles, on the apparatus.

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

• Do not expose this apparatus to rain, moisture, dripping or splashing and that no objects ﬁlled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

IMPORTANT It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-

ordered 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.

Check the copyright laws in your country before recording from DVD Video, SVCD, Video CD, Audio CD, MP3 and JPEG discs. Recording of copyrighted material may infringe copyright laws.

• You cannot record from the built-in DVD player onto the HDD.

ATTENTIONS:

• Using a cellular phone nearby the unit may cause picture disturbance on the TV. (In the worst case, nothing but a blue back screen appears on the TV.)

• Some TVs or other appliances generate strong magnetic ﬁelds. Do not place such appliance on the unit as it may cause picture disturbance.

Failure to heed the following precautions may result in damage to the discs, the built-in hard disc drive (HDD), and the remote control.

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

Moisture condensation

Moisture in the air will condense inside the unit 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. In conditions where condensation may occur, keep the unit turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry.

Precautions for the HDD

1. Before using the unit:

When the power is on, the HDD is constantly rotating at a 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 HDD itself is damaged.

• DO NOT allow anything having strong magnetism or emitting strong electromagnetic waves (cellular phones, etc.) near the unit.

• DO NOT disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet when the power is on. If the power supply is cut off while the HDD is in operation, it can be damaged or the stored data may be damaged. Be sure to press the

(STANDBY/ON)

2. While using the unit:

• When viewing a TV program through the builtin tuner, you might notice a slight time lag compared to the actual program being broadcast. This happens because pictures received are once stored in the HDD, and then played back. The time lag is approximately 3 seconds.

• If you turn the power on with the HDD already selected, it will take about 20 seconds before the received pictures appear on the TV. During this period, no operation is accepted.

• The HDD may produce mechanical noise while power is on, but it is not a malfunction.

Programme Delivery Control (PDC) Recording

Now available from some TV stations, Programme Delivery Control (PDC) is a 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 (for this unit, the HDD deck) and have precedence over the advertised times which 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 from what has been advertised. PDC is available nationally on BBC1, BBC2, Channel 4 and Channel 5 (except the cases that the programmes are broadcast through a few small relay transmitters). Channel 3 operates a PDC service in some areas. All channels intend to offer this service in due course. Check your TV programme listing guide for latest information. If the TV station you intend to record does not offer a PDC service, your recorder will not start recording if PDC has been turned “ON.” Be sure to turn “OFF” PDC in this case.

NOTES

•When you use Express Timer programming, set the start time exactly as advertised in the TV listing.

•Now most of the satellite stations and the cable systems also offer the PDC service. However, with this unit, PDC recording of a satellite programme is only possible using Automatic Satellite Recording (if your satellite receiver can detect the PDC signals). See page 46.

Glossary

Aspect ratio

A ratio which deﬁnes the shape of the rectangular picture on a TV. It is the width of the picture relative to the height. A conventional TV picture is 4:3 in aspect ratio.

Bitstream

The digital format of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.

Linear PCM

PCM stands for “pulse code modulation.” Linear PCM is the usual method for digitally encoding audio without compression, and is used for the audio tracks on DVD Video discs, CDs, etc.

MP3

MP3 is an audio data compression format, which stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Using MP3, you can achieve a data reduction of about 1:10 compared to a conventional CD.

Chapter/title

Chapter is the smallest division and title is the largest division on DVD Video. A chapter is a division of a title and similar to a track for VCD or CD.

Dolby Digital (AC3)

A six-channel system consisting of left, centre, right, left rear, right rear and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect channel, for use with a subwoofer) channels. All processing is done in the digital domain. Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channels.

Dolby Surround/Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Surround records four channels of front and rear audio in two channels in a way that allows a decoder to recover the original four channels for playback. Because the audio is recorded in two channels, it can be played back naturally by a two-channel stereo system. Dolby Pro Logic introduces directional circuits in decoder-side processing (increasing the level of speciﬁc channels and lowering the level of silent channels) for greater spatial perspective, and adds a centre speaker used primarily for dialogue. The result is enhanced channel separation.

DTS

A digital surround audio encoding format conﬁgured with six (5.1) channels, similar to Dolby Digital. DTS stands for Digital Theatre Systems. Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.

Dynamic range

The difference between the loudest and softest sounds.

JPEG

A popular ﬁle format for still image compression and storage. JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. There are three sub-types of the JPEG format as follows.

• Baseline JPEG: used for digital cameras, the web, etc.

• Progressive JPEG: used for the web

• Lossless JPEG: an old type, rarely used now

MPEG

A family of Standards for compressing visual signals. “MPEG” standards include MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-

4. Video CD is based on MPEG-1, while DVD is based on MPEG-2. MPEG stands for Moving Picture Experts Group.

• This is also used for compressing audio signals (ex. MP3).

MPEG Multichannel

This feature expands the 5.1 channel audio format recorded in the disc to a 7.1 channel format. The further expansion of the 5.1 channel audio makes it easy for you to reproduce the movie theatre experience in your own home.

NICAM

Broadcast providing stereo, FM sound, or bilingual programmes. The TV tuner built in this unit can receive these NICAM signals.

NTSC (National television system committee)

A black and white and colour television system format used in the U.S.A., Canada, Mexico and Japan.

PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)

A colour television system format used extensively in Western Europe.

PBC

PBC stands for “Playback control” and is a method of controlling disc play for Video CDs (VCD). You are able to interact with the disc through menus.

RGB

An abbreviation for Red, Green, and Blue. Colour monitors and colour television sets display different hues by mixing these three colours.

Track

The smallest division on SVCD, Video CD and Audio CD discs.
