1. Do not remove screws, covers or cabinet.

2. Do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.

Caution –– STANDBY/ON button!

Disconnect the mains plug to shut the power off completely. The

STANDBY/ON button in any position does not disconnect the mains line. The power can be remote controlled.

Cautions:

• Do not block the 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.)

• 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

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

2. DO NOT

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.

button to turn off the power.

Notes on the power cord

• When you are away on travel or otherwise for an extended period of time, remove the plug from the wall outlet. A certain amount of power (15 W) is always consumed while the power cord is connected to the wall outlet.

• When unplugging the unit from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the power cord.

• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands

• Never touch liquid if it has leaked out of a battery.

• Do not mix new and old batteries, or batteries of different types, when replacing them.

• Remove used-up batteries and dispose of them properly.

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

What you can do with T-V LINK

When you connect the unit to a TV offering T-V Link, etc.* using a fully-wired 21-pin SCART cable, you can use the following functions. For details, refer also to the instruction manual of your TV.

* T-V Link, EasyLink, Megalogic, SMARTLINK, Q-Link or DATA LOGIC. The degree of compatibility and available functions may

differ by system.

TV Auto Power On

The TV will turn on and an appropriate input (AV) mode is automatically selected on the TV whenever you start HDD playback on this unit.

• When you start playing the DVD player, this function does not work.

Auto Standby

You can use your TV’s remote control to turn off the unit.

• For details, refer to the instruction manual of your TV.

Direct Rec

You can easily start recording the programme that you are watching on your TV (not through the TV tuner built in this unit). To use this function, set “DIRECT REC” to “ON” (see page 67).

Suggested location of the satellite controller

The following procedure is required if you receive satellite programmes through a satellite receiver. Approximately 20 seconds before a timer recording starts, the unit sets its input mode to “L-2” (or “SAT”) and automatically changes the programme position numbers on the satellite receiver by sending a signal to your satellite receiver.

Installing satellite controller

Situate the satellite controller.

Place the satellite controller so that the path between its transmitter and the remote sensor on the satellite receiver is unobstructed.

Attach the satellite controller.

Fix securely using the adhesive strip attached on the back of the satellite controller.
