Regarding the Internal Hard Disk (HDD)
ª
This unit has an internal hard disk capable of recording and
playback (referred to hereon as HDD).
In order to prevent damage to the HDD or to hard disk contents,
the recording of noise or interruption of normal functioning, you are
advised to take the following precautions when installing or using
the unit:
≥Do not expose to vibration or rough treatment.
≥Do not place in an enclosed area so that the rear cooling fan and
the cooling vents on the side are covered up.
≥Do not place in an area where the changes in temperature are
extreme. Sudden, extreme changes in temperature may cause
condensation. Using the unit when there is condensation inside
will damage the HDD and may lead to breakdown. Use of the unit
in areas subject to temperature changes of more than 20
degrees an hour is not recommended.
≥Do not place in areas with high humidity
≥Do not place the unit in any orientation other than horizontal.
≥Do not disconnect the AC mains plug from the household mains
socket while the unit is on, shut off the electricity supply to the
area in which the unit is installed or move the unit while it is on.
) If moving the unit, first turn it off* and remove the AC mains
plug from the household mains socket. Wait 2 minutes before
moving.
* Press [DVD, Í] (1) and confirm that “BYE” disappears from
the display.
In order to maximize the efficacy of recording using this unit,
a variable bit rate recording system is used. This system may
sometimes show the amount of time remaining for recording
as being more or less than the amount of time remaining.
≥If the remaining time is insufficient, erase any unwanted
programmes to create enough space before starting recording.
≥When erasing programmes, you should aim to create ample
space on the storage media for the intended programme. This is
because the time available for recording may not increase in
exact proportion to the time represented by the programmes you
erase.
Conditions contributing to the occurrence of condensation:
In any of the cases listed below, allow the unit to adjust to the room
temperature by leaving it for approximately 2 hours with the power
on.
≥When the room is steamy or the humidity is high
≥If there is a sudden change in temperature, for example:
) The unit is moved from a cold to a warm place or vice versa.
) A heater is used to warm the area up quickly in winter or an air
conditioner is used to cool the area quickly in summer.
) The air from an air conditioner flows directly onto the unit
(please take action to ensure this does not happen).
In the event of a power failure
If a power failure occurs, contents in the process of playback/
recording as well as already recorded, saved or dubbed HDD
contents may be damaged.
Safeguards against accidental loss
Data may be lost if the HDD suffers damage. Any contents you
wish to keep permanently should be dubbed or moved to DVDRAM or DVD-R.
Note
≥The HDD in this unit reserves a part of the storage space for use
as a system management area.

When flexible recording/timer recording to the HDD:
FR automatically adjusts the recording mode to enable the
programme to fit exactly into the space of an unused DVD-RAM/
R (4.7 GB).
When flexible recording/timer recording to DVD-RAM/R:
FR compares the length of the programme to be recorded with
the available space on the disc. Based on this, it automatically
selects the recording mode that will fit the programme most
accurately into the remaining space while maintaining the best
possible picture quality. For example, when recording a 90minute programme onto a new DVD-RAM disc, FR automatically
selects a recording rate between XP and SP.
When dubbing:
The unit automatically adjusts the recording mode during
dubbing so that the programme fits into the space available while
maintaining as closely as possible the original picture quality.

times may vary from those given in the table above.

Bitstream
This is the compressed form of digital signals. A decoder decodes
these signals into 5.1 surround and multi-channel signals.
Channel (when referring to DVD)
Sound is divided into channels based on the sound’s role.
For example, 5.1 channel
≥Front speakers — 1 left channel and 1 right channel
≥Center speaker —1 channel
≥Surround speakers— 1 left channel and 1 right channel
≥Subwoofer — 1 channelk0.1 (the ratio of bass to the total amount
of sound output)

Direct navigator
This is a list of programmes you have recorded. You can select
programmes from the list to view. The list also shows the date and
time of recording, the channel, and the titles of titled programmes.
The selected programme is played in the background, making
selection even simpler.
Dolby Digital
This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby
Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2 channel) audio, these signals
can also be 5.1-channel audio. A large amount of audio
information can be recorded on one disc using this method.
Dolby Pro Logic
A surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as
2 channels and then is restored to 4 channels for play. The
surround channel is monaural.
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)
DPOF is the standard printing format for still picture data. It is used
at a photo studio to print out the still picture data taken with a digital
camera etc or when you print out using a domestic printer.
Drive
In the instance of this unit, this refers to the hard disk (HDD) and
DVD. These perform the reading and writing of data. Select them
by pressing [HDD] (6) and [DVD] (6).
Frame and field
Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving
picture. A frame is made up of 2 fields.
Frame Field Field
≥A frame still is made up of two alternating fields, so the picture
may appear blurred, but overall quality is high.
≥A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a
frame still so picture quality is lower.
Hard disk (HDD)
This is a mass data storage device used in computers etc. A disk
the surface of which has been treated with magnetic fluid is spun
and a magnetic head is brought in close proximity to facilitate the
reading and writing of large amounts of data at high speed.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
This is a system used for compressing/decoding colour still
pictures.
If you select JPEG as the storage system on digital cameras etc,
the data will be compressed to 1/10 —1/100 of its original size.
The special quality of this standard is that there is little
deterioration in picture quality in comparison to the degree of
compression.
Linear PCM
This is a form of signal that has been digitized without compressing
it. CDs are recorded with 44.1 kHz/16 bit PCM, while DVDs use
PCM between 48 kHz/16 bit and 96 kHz/24 bit, allowing
reproduction of greater quality sound.
The linear PCM signals output from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT,
OPTICAL terminal are stereo (2 channel).
(NICAM Broadcasting System)
NICAM
This is a 2 channel sound broadcast system which in most
instances provides high quality stereo sound. Broadcasters can
also transmit two separate mono soundtracks on this system.
Pan&Scan/Letterbox
In general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention that they be
viewed on a widescreen television with an aspect ratio of 16:9.
This means you can view most material with the intended aspect
ratio on a widescreen television.
Material with this ratio will not fit onto a standard television with an
aspect ratio of 4:3. Two styles of picture, “Pan&Scan” and
“Letterbox”, deal with this problem.
Pan&Scan: The sides are cut off so the picture fills the screen.
DTS Digital Surround
This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the
world. The separation between channels is good and the
compression ratio is low, so realistic sound effects are possible.
DTS soundtracks are produced with the assumption that all
channels will be used.
Finalize
This process allows DVD-R to be played on compatible equipment.
Letterbox: Black bands appear at the top and bottom of the
picture so the picture itself appears in an aspect
ratio of 16:9.

Glossary (continued)
Playback control (PBC)
This is a method of playing Video CDs. You can select parts to play by using menus recorded on the disc.
Play list
This is a collection of scenes. It enables you to play these scenes in succession or to select specific ones to play.
Programme (PRG)
The section between the point where recording is started and the point where it is stopped.
Sampling frequency
This is the number of samples of sound taken per second during conversion to a digital signal. A high sampling frequency results in a sound
close to the original when played back.
S-video output
The colour and luminance signals are separated before being sent to the television, making for greater picture clarity.
Q Link
When the unit is connected via fully wired 21-pin Scart lead to the TV, Q Link allows.
Download from the TVCopies the tuning set-up from your TV to your unit.
Direct TV recording:
Immediately records the same programme that you are watching on the TV.
TV/DVD Auto switch On:
whilst in standby mode pressing [1] (21), [VIDEO Plus+] (2) or [PROG/CHECK] (13) will turn the TV and unit on.
Auto Switch Off:
When the TV is turned off, the unit will be turned off as well. This function works in the stop mode.
This function does not work also when the DVD drive is selected and an audio CD is in the disc tray.
PDC
PDC (Programme Delivery Control)
Programme Delivery Control adjusts the start and stop time of a timer recording automatically to ensure the recording starts and finishes in
line with the programme broadcast. This is useful when a programme over-runs the published times.
The station must be transmitting PDC and the exact time must be set for PDC to work.
The unit detects whether a station is transmitting PDC only during the tuning process.
If PDC is introduced or discontinued by a station you will need to re-tune the unit before it becomes aware of this.
PDC transmissions are not currently nation-wide so please check with your local broadcaster for more information.
The beginnings of recordings may not be recorded correctly in some cases.
Title/Chapter (DVD-Video)
DVD-Video are divided up into large sections, titles, and smaller sections, chapters. The numbers allocated to these sections are called title
numbers and chapter numbers.
Example
(3)
(2)
(4)(5)
(1) Title 1
(2) Title 2
(3) Chapter 1
(4) Chapter 2
(5) Chapter 3
