Introduction

About the internal hard disk drive

The internal hard disk drive (HDD) is a fragile piece of equipment. Please use the recorder following the guidelines below to protect possible HDD failure. We recommend that you back up your important recordings onto DVD discs in order to protect accidental loss.

 Do not move the recorder while it is on.

 Install and use the recorder on a stable, level

surface.

 Do not block the rear vent/cooling fan.

 Do not use the recorder in excessively hot or humid

places, or in places that may be subject to sudden changes in temperature. Sudden changes in temperature can cause condensation to form inside the recorder. This can be a cause of HDD failure.

 While the recorder is switched on, do not unplug

from the wall socket or switch the electricity off from the breaker switch.

 Do not move the recorder immediately after

switching it off. If you need to move the recorder, please follow the steps below:

1. After the message POWER OFF is shown in the display, wait at least two minutes.

2. Unplug from the wall socket.

3. Move the recorder.

 If there’s a power failure while the recorder is on

there is a chance that some data on the HDD will be lost.

 The HDD is very delicate. If used improperly or in

an unsuitable environment, it is possible that the HDD will fail after a few years of use. Signs of problems include playback unexpectedly freezing and noticeable block noise (mosaic) in the picture. However, sometimes there will be no warning signs of HDD failure.

If the HDD fails, no playback of recorded material will be possible. In this case it will be necessary to replace the HDD unit.

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.

Connection to an HDMI TV requires an HDMI cable while connection to a DVI-equipped TV requires a DVI adapter besides a HDMI cable..

HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced or high-definition video plus standard to multi-channel surround-sound audio, HDMI features include uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 5 gigabytes per second, one connector (instead of several cables and connectors), and communication between the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.

HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI licensing LLC.

DRC (Dynamic Range Control)

With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presentation possible, thanks to digital audio technology. However, you may wish to compress the dynamic range of the audio output (the difference between the loudest sounds and the quietest ones). Then, you may listen to a movie at a lower volume without losing clarity of sound. Set DRC to [ON] for this effect.

Vocal

Set Vocal to [ON] only when a multi-channel karaoke DVD is playing. The karaoke channels on the disc will mix into normal stereo sound.

HD AV Sync

When using Digital TV, sometimes AV signal could not be transmitted simultaneously because of later transmission of video signal compared to audio signal. Because it takes some time to convert analog video signal to digital one in the Digital TV. And It means that you may not enjoy picture on the screen and sound from speaker at the same time even though it is one scene. In the HD AV Sync menu, you could adjust delay time to audio signal for simultaneous AV signal transmission.

 Delay time could be set up with 10msec unit.

(0 ~ 300ms)

 Delay time is different according to each TV Brand.

So you need to adjust optimal delay time complying with your TV.
