■o ê

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 con tents, the recording of noise or interruption of normal func tioning, 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 con densation (-»below). 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 plug from the household AC outlet 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 the power “OFF’* and remove the AC plug from the household AC outlet. Wait 2 minutes before moving.

• Press [(1), DVD POWER] and confirm that “BYE" disap pears from the display.

■ Conditions contributing to the occurrence of condensation

In any of the cases listed below, allow the unit to adjust to the room tem perature 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 coot 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 transferred to DVD-RAM or DVD-R.

The HDD in this unit reserves a part of the storage space for use as a system management area.

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 pro grams to create enough space before starting recording.

• When erasing programs, you should aim to create ample space on the storage media for the intended program. This is because the time available for recording may not increase in exact proportion to the time represented by the programs you erase.

Do not place the unit

on amplifiers or equip

ment that may become hot.

The heat can damage the unit.

CAUTION!

DO NOT INSTALL, OR PLACE THIS UNIT, IN A BOOKCASE, BUILT-IN CABINET OR IN ANOTHER CONFINED SPACE. ENSURE THE UNIT IS WELL VENTILATED. TO PREVENT RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARD DUE TO OVERHEATING, ENSURE THAT CURTAINS AND ANY OTHER MATERIALS DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE VENTILATION VENTS.

DO NOT PLACE THIS APPARATUS INTO AN AUDIO RACK, BOOK SHELF OR SIMILAR LOCATION BECAUSE OF HEAT FROM THIS APPARATUS.

DO NOT BLOCK ANY OF THE VENTILATION OPENINGS. INSTALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.

Note to CATV system installer:

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the build ing, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Before moving the unit, ensure the disc tray is empty.

Failure to do so will risk severely damaging the disc and №e unit.

Features

This unit allows recording of high quality video on HDD

and DVD-RAM, the compact and durable digital media

with fast random access. This media also out performs

past tape formats in ease of operation.

■ Maximum 52 hours on HDD (Hard Disk Drive) {-»page 19)

■O

This model is installed with a high capacity 40 GB hard disk capable

of recording a maximum of 52 hours (6 hours continuously). The

same functions are available with HDD as with DVD-RAM and edit-

ing/recording of visual data from hard disk to DVD-RAM/R is easy-

to-perform.

■ DV Automatic Recording (-»page 31)

Simply connect a digital video camera using a single cable and you can organize your DV tapes into play lists on the HDD or DVD-RAM. (You cannot connect a personal computer to the unit.)

■ Auto Renewal Recording (-»page 36)

If you record a program onto HDD repeatedly everyday or every week using timer recording, the unit will record the new program over the old one.

■ Relief Recording (-»page 35)

\A/hen timer recording to DVD-RAM or DVD-R, the unit will compare the remaining space on the disc and the time necessary for record ing. If space is insufficient the unit will record the program to HDD instead (there is no relief recording function the other way, i.e. from HDD to DVD-RAM or DVD-R).

■ Enjoy still pictures (JPEG) (^pages 25 and 46—49)

• It is possible to display still pictures (-^page 9) taken with a digital camera either in a list or one by one.

Glossary

Bitstream

This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g„ 5.1 chan nel) before it is decoded into its various channels.

CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media)

CPRM is the copyright protection technology that is used to protect broadcasts that are allowed to be recorded only once (e.g. some CATV broadcasts).

Decoder

A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is called decoding.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Labo

ratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be

recorded on one disc using this method. This unit is set to record using Dolby Digital in all recording modes except for XP mode, where you may choose Dolby Digital or LPCM.

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 and can reproduce up to 7 kHz.

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 the drive select buttons ([HDD] or [DVD]).

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the

world. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic

sound effects are possible.

Dynamic range

Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound

that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest

level of sound before distortion occurs.

FAT (File Allocation Table)

The FAT12 (12-bit file allocation table) and FAT16 (16-bit file alloca

tion table) systems this unit is compatible with are file systems used

widely in computers around the world.

Hard disk drive (HDD)

This is a mass data storage device used in computers etc. A disk

with a surface that has been treated with magnetic fluid is spun and a magnetic head is brought in close proximity to facilitate the read ing and writing of large amounts of data at high speed.

Interlace and progressive output

NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (i) scan lines, whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines. This is called 480p. The video signals output from this unit’s COM PONENT VIDEO OUT terminals (Y, Pb, Pr) allow you to enjoy higher quality pictures than if the signals were output from the VIDEO OUT terminal or S-VIDEO OUT terminal.

I/P/B MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with

DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.

I: Intra coded picture

This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when adjusting the picture.

P: Predictive coded picture

This picture is calculated based on past I- or P-pictures.

B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture

This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I- and P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

This is a system used for compressing/decoding color 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 (pulse code modulation)

These are uncompressed digital signals. This unit outputs linear

PCM sound in 2 channels from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal. LPCM sound is available when recording in XP mode.

Pa n&Sca n/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 “Letter box”, deal with this problem.

Pan&Scan: The sides are cut off so the picture

fills the screen.

c £

Film and video

DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. Usually, film is

recorded at 24 frames per second, the rate movies are filmed at,

while video is recorded at 30 frames per second.

Frame still and field still

Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving pic ture. There are about 30 frames shown each second. One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these fields one after the other to create frames. A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. 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.

Letterbox: Black bands appear at the top and

bottom of the picture so the picture itself appears in an aspect ratio of

16:9.

Playback control (PBC)

If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and infor mation with menus.
