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
Remove the battery cover on the
rear of the Remote Control, and

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.
