Getting started

Useful features

This DVD Video recorder records high quality images to rapid random access capable DVD-RAM media. This has resulted in many new features that out perform older tape formats. The following information summarizes a few of these features.

Instant recording

You no longer need to search for empty disc space. By pressing the recording button, the unit finds available recording space and begins recording right away. There is no need to worry about overwriting already recorded content.

Instant play

There is no need to rewind or search forward. Direct Navigator guides you to the beginning of the recorded video immediately.

Chasing playback

There is no need to wait until recording is complete. Without stopping recording, you can play the video currently being recorded from its beginning.

Simultaneous Recording and Playback

While recording, you can play another video programme that was recorded previously.

Time Slip

During play and also while recording, you can jump to the scene you wish to view by specifying the skip time.

If your television is equipped with RGB input capability, by connecting with a fully wired 21-pin Scart cable you can see video using RGB output on this unit ( below).

To output in RGB select “RGB (without component)” from “AV1 Output” in the SETUP menu ( page 39).

Use a splitter if you also want to connect the aerial to your VCR.

You can also connect with the AV2 terminal on this unit using the 21-pin Scart cable.

This refers to the three primary colours of light, red (R), green (G), and blue (B) and also the method of producing video that uses them. By dividing the video signal into the three colours for transmission, noise is reduced for even higher quality images.
