Media handling

∫ How to hold a disc or SD card

Do not touch the recorded surface or the terminal surface.

Getting started

∫ If there is dirt or condensation on the disc

Wipe with a damp cloth and then wipe dry.

∫ Using miniSD card or microSD card

Mini-type and micro-type cards can also be used, but must be used with adaptor cards. These are usually supplied with such cards, or otherwise customer provided.



≥ Us eable memory is slightly less than the card capacity. ≥ If the SD card is formatted on other equipment, the time necessary for

recording may be longer. Also, if the SD card is formatted on a PC, you may not be able to use it on this unit. In these cases, format the card on this unit (> 74).

≥ S DHC Memory Cards and SDXC Memory Cards can be used in

equipment that is compatible with the appropriate cards. (SD HC Memory Cards can also be used in equipment compatible with SDXC Memory Cards)

Using either of these cards in a non-compatible PC or noncompatible equipment may result in fo rmatting etc. and the loss of recorded content.

∫ Handling precautions

≥ You can insert one or two different CAMs with Smart Cards into this unit. ≥ Be sure to insert the CI module horizontally into the slot. ≥ Insert the CAM and the Smart Card with the correct direction. ≥ When removing the CI module, press the CI module eject button and pull it straight out. ≥ For more details, see the manual of the CAM and S mart Card, or consult the dealer. ≥ The Common Interface supports the modules according to DVB Specification and CI Plus Specification. ≥ Turn off the unit before you insert or remove the CI module.

About CI Plus compatible broadcast

“CI Plus” is a technical specification that imposes copy protection on the broadcasted programmes.

≥All CI Plus protected programmes are encrypted.

It may take some time to display the encrypted programme.

∫ Retention limit

There are some titles for which the playback is disabled after a predetermined time. (e.g., Permitted playback period is 90 minutes after recording.)

≥When the programme is imposed a limit on the playable period, the icon will appear on the

DIRECT NAVIGATOR screen after recording. (> 41)

≥These titles cannot be copied to the disc. (> below, Copying is prohibited)

∫ CI Plus copy protection

When the CI Plus compatible broadcast is recorded, the title may be copy protected. ≥There are following types of the copy protection depending on the broadcast:

Copying not restricted

≥Depending on the programme, you can copy only to BD-RE, BD-R, or DVD-RAM (CPRM compatible discs only).

One generation copy is permitted

≥You can copy to BD-RE, BD-R or DVD-RAM (CPRM compatible discs only) only once.

However, the original title will be deleted.

≥You cannot copy from the copied BD-RE, BD-R or DVD-RAM (CPRM compatible discs) to HDD or another disc.

Copying is prohibited

≥You cannot copy to the disc.
