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 against possible HDD failure. We recommend that you back up your important recordings onto DVD discs in order to protect against 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.

Remote Control Operation

Point the Remote Control at the remote sensor and press the buttons.

Caution

Do not mix old and new batteries. Never mix different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, etc.).

Remote Control Battery Installation

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 channel took up before. As a consumer you get access to many more channels and services than before at the same time as they are received with perfect picture and audio quality.

The recorder converts the digital signal into a format that is suitable for your TV and sound system.

Connecting your recorder is just as simple as connecting for example a video recorder. You get the best picture quality by using a HDMI cable for connection to your TV-set. The best audio experience is 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

Depending on the reception your recorder may be connected to a simple indoor antenna or to an existing outdoor antenna system. 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.

Connecting to the antenna

Remove the antenna cable plug from your TV set and insert it into the antenna socket at the back of the recorder. Plug one end of the antenna cable into the TV socket on the recorder and the other end into the antenna input socket on your TV set.

Caution

The ANTENNA IN jack supply the antenna feed (DC 5V/100mA) and the antenna feed is switch able via setup menu. If your digital antenna is not an active antenna, you must set the [Antenna feed 5V] option to [OFF].

RF coaxial connection

Connect the ANTENNA OUT jack on the recorder to the antenna input jack on the TV using the 75-ohm Coaxial Cable supplied (R). The ANTENNA OUT jack passes the signal through from the ANTENNA IN jack.

Cable-TV

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

Check with your landlord if you are insecure about what type of TV-signal that is provided in the wall antenna outlet.

Rear of the recorder

Connections to Your TV

Make one of the following connections, depending on the capabilities of your existing equipment.

Tips

wish to connect, there are various ways you could connect the recorder. Use only one of the connections described below.

• Please refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo System or other devices as necessary to make the best connections.

Caution

- Make sure the recorder is connected directly to the

TV. Tune the TV to the correct video input channel.

- Do not connect the recorder’s AUDIO OUTPUT jack
