Notes on discs

 Depending on the conditions of the recording equipment or the CD-R/RW (or

DVD±R/RW) disc itself, some CD-R/RW (or DVD±R/RW) discs cannot be played on the unit.

 Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the labeled side or the record-

ed side) of a disc.

 Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (e.g., heart-shaped or octagonal). Doing

so may result in malfunctions.

 Depending on the recording software & the finalization, some recorded discs

(CD-R/RW or DVD±R/RW) may not be playable.

 DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW and CD-R/RW discs recorded using a personal

computer or a DVD or CD Recorder may not play if the disc is damaged or dirty, or if there is dirt or condensation on the Unit’s lens.

 If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a

compatible format, there are cases in which it may not play because of the settings of the application software used to create the disc. (Check with the software publisher for more detailed information.)

 This unit requires discs and recordings to meet certain technical standards

in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files) and these require certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to ensure compatible playback.

 Customers should note that permission is required in order to download

MP3 / WMA files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner.

Restrictions on copying

Some video materials are copy-once protected: Such material cannot be copied to DVD. You can identify copy-once protected material during playback by displaying disc information on-screen.

 NTSC format signals from the analog or the DV inputs are not recorded cor-

rectly with this unit.

 Video signals in SECAM format (from the built-in TV tuner or from the ana-

log inputs) are recorded in PAL format.

About the Symbol Display

 If you try to play a DVD with a different regional code from the unit, the mes-

sage “Incorrect region code. Can’t play back” appears on the TV screen.

General about connection

Picture and sound

Digital TV is a transmission technology that replaces the traditional analogue technique.

This means that several TV channels, radio channels and other digital services can be transmitted on the same space as just one analogue channel. As a consumer you get access to many more channels and services with perfect picture and audio quality.

Connecting your recorder is just as simple as connecting an old VCR recorder. And by using a HDMI cable for connection you get the best picture quality to your TV-set. The best audio experience can be obtained by connecting an optical cable to your sound system.

Coverage

Before buying this product it is anticipated that you have made sure that there are digital transmissions covering your region.

Antenna / Signal source

You may decide to connect your DVD recorder to an indoor arial or an external arial. Either of the two can give you variances on the signal strength. If you live in a flat you should make sure that the digital terrestrial signals are distributed to your wall antenna outlet. If you have your own antenna system you must make sure that it is equipped with antennas, filter and/or amplifier that can handle those frequencies that the digital channels are transmitted on.

Cable-TV

Please observe that this recorder is not designed for the reception of regular digital cable-TV signals (QAM-signal). Despite this, operators of smaller cable networks may have chosen to distribute the digital terrestrial signals (COFDMsignal) in the network. In this case this recorder may be used.

Component connection

Connect one end of the component(Y PB PR) cable to the COMPONENT OUTPUT jack on the DVD recorder and other end to the COMPONENT INPUT jack on your TV. Connect one end of the audio cables (red and white) to the analog AUDIO OUTPUT jack on the DVD recorder and other end to the AUDIO INPUT jack on your TV.

If your television is a high-definition or “digital ready” television, you may take advantage of the unit’s progressive scan output for the highest video resolution possible. If your TV does not accept the Progressive Scan format, the picture will appear scrambled with the progressive signal. Set the resolution to 576p using the RES. button on the front panel of the DVD recorder to obtain the 576p progressive signal.

DR386M-P.BGBRLLK_ENG 6/13/08 9:59 AM Page 10

S-Video connection

Connect one end of the S-Video cable to the S-VIDEO OUTPUT jack on the DVD recorder and the other end to the S-Video INPUT jack on your TV. Connect one end of the audio cable (red and white) to the analog AUDIO OUTPUT jack on the DVD recorder and the other ends to the AUDIO INPUT jack on your TV.

Digital audio connection

Connecting to an amplifier/receiver, Dolby Digital/MPEG/DTS decoder or other equipment with a digital input.

Connect one end of the digital audio cable (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) to the digital audio output jack (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) on the DVD recorder and the other end to the digital audio input jack (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) on your amplifier.

This recorder does not perform internal (2 channel) decoding for a DTS sound track . To enjoy DTS multi channel surround, you must connect this recorder to a DTS compatible receiver via one of this recorder’s digital audio output.

DR386M-P.BGBRLLK_ENG 6/13/08 9:59 AM Page 11

HDMI connection

Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI OUTPUT jack on the DVD recorder and other end to the HDMI INPUT jack on your TV.

When you use the HDMI connection, you can change the resolution (576i, 576p, 720p,1080i or 1080p) for the HDMI output by pressing RES. button on

the front of the DVD recorder repeatedly

About HDMI

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports both video and audio on a single digital connection for use with DVD Players, Set-Top Boxes, and other AV devices.
