Important notes for users in the U.K.

Mains plug

This apparatus is  tted with an approved 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1 Remove fuse cover and fuse. 2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362

5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

3 Re t the fuse cover.

If the  tted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug  tted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.

Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).

z As these colours may not correspond with the

colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: – Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black. – Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red. – Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or ˛) or coloured green (or green and yellow).

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

Special Features

This function enables you to record a programme from your Satellite Receiver or any other devices. Make sure that the device is connected to the EXT2 AUX-I/O socket of this recorder, and the timer setting has been done on the connected device.

‘Time Shift Buffer’

As soon as you turn on this recorder, the programme showing on the TV will be stored into the ‘Time Shift Buffer’. It acts as a temporary HDD storage of your recordings. The contents will be automatically deleted after six (6) hours or when you turn off this recorder. To store the contents on the hard disk permanently, you have to mark the section in the ‘Time Shift Buffer’ for recording to prevent them from being deleted.

‘FlexTime’

You can watch or recall a TV programme while it is still being recorded. You do not have to wait until the end of the recording before starting playback. You can also watch a different programme from the hard disk while it is recording something else.

i.LINK, is also known as ‘FireWire’ and ‘IEEE 1394’. This connection is used for the transfer of high bandwidth digital signals as used by digital video (DV) camcorders. It carries all audio and video signals via a single cable.

This is a simple programming system for recorders. To use it, enter the programming number associated with your television programme. You can  nd this number in your favourite listings magazine.

‘Instant Replay’

You can repeat a scene of a live TV programme by pressing JUMP BACK button on the remote control, as often as you like. If you wish to return to the live TV programme, just press TUNER.

‘Pause Live TV’

A live TV programme is now under your control. You can pause the programme by pressing PAUSE button and resume playback at the scene it was interrupted by pressing PLAY button. If you want to return to the live TV programme, just press TUNER.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of disc should I use for recording?

You can only record on DVD±R or DVD±RW discs. DVD±R/±RW is the most compatible recordable DVD format on the market today. They are fully compatible with most of the existing DVD-Video players and DVD-ROM drives in computers.

What is the capacity of a DVD±R/ ±RW disc?

4.7GB, or equivalent to six CDs. You can store only one hour of recordings on a single disc at the highest quality (DVD standard) and about 8 hours recordings at the lowest quality (VHS standard).

What is the difference between DVD±R and DVD±RW?

DVD±R is “recordable” and DVD±RW is “erasable” and “rewritable”. With a DVD±R, you can record multiple sessions on the same disc. But when the disc is full, you cannot record any more on the disc. The DVD±RW allows you to record over the same disc again and again.

What is DV?

Using DV, also known as i.LINK, you can connect a DV-equipped camcorder to this recorder using a single DV cable for input and output of audio, video, data and control signals. – This recorder is only compatible with DVformat (DVC-SD) camcorders. Digital satellite tuners and Digital VHS video recorders are not compatible. – You cannot connect more than one DV camcorder at a time to this recorder. – You cannot control this recorder from external equipment connected via the DV IN socket.

Can I copy a VHS tape or DVD from an external player?

Yes, but only if the VHS tape or DVD is not copy-protected.

What are Titles and Chapters?

A DVD disc contains Titles and Chapters, which are similar to the Titles and Chapters of a book. A Title is often a complete movie and is broken down into Chapters, or individual scenes from the movies.

Title

Chapter Chapter Chapter Chapter

chapter markers

Programmes are recorded as a single title. They may consist of one chapter or a few chapters within a title, depending on the recording settings.

How do I set up Titles and Chapters?

The recorder will automatically create a new Title every time you start a new recording. You can then add Chapters to these recordings manually or have them automatically inserted at a speci c intervals.

What does “ nalising” a disc do?

Finalising a disc locks the disc so it can no longer be recorded. This is only required for DVD±R. It will then be compatible with virtually any DVD player. To remove a disc without  nalising it, simply stop recording and eject the disc. You will still be able to record on the disc if there is room for more recordings.

How good is the quality of the recording?

There are a few picture quality levels to choose from, ranging from “HQ” (1 hour recording at high quality) to “SEP” (8 hours recording at VHS quality) on a recordable DVD. Press REC MODE button on the remote control to choose the quality level that best suits your purpose and the length of recording.

Record Mode

HQ (high quality) SP (standard play) SPP (standard play plus) LP (long play) EP (extended play) SLP (super long play) SEP (super extended play)

Hours of recordings can be stored on the HDD or an Ł empty 4.7GB DVD recordable disc.

Care and Safety Information

CAUTION! High voltage! Do not open. You run the risk of getting an electric shock.

The machine does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Please leave all maintenance work to quali ed personnel.

Setup precautions

Finding a suitable location

– Place the set on a  at, hard and stable surface. Do not place the set on a carpet. – Do not position the set on top of other equipment that might heat it up (e.g., receiver or ampli er). – Do not put anything under the set (e.g., CDs, magazines). – Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the AC power plug can be reached easily.

Space for ventilation

– Place the apparatus in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat build up. Allow at least 10 cm (4.5”) clearance from the rear and the top of the set and 5cm (2.3”) from the left and right to prevent overheating.

5cm (2.3")

10cm (4.5")

5cm (2.3")

Avoid high temperatures, moisture, water and dust

– Apparatus must not be exposed to dripping or splashing. – Do not place any sources of danger on the apparatus (e.g., liquid  lled objects, lighted candles).

10cm (4.5")

Cleaning discs

Some problems occur (frozen picture, sound disruptions, picture distortions) because the disc inside the recorder is dirty . To avoid these problems, discs should be cleaned on a regular basis.

To clean a disc, use a micro  bre cleaning cloth and wipe the disc from the center to the edge in a straight line.

CAUTION!

Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static sprays intended for discs.

HDD (Hard Disk Drive) handling care

The HDD is a fragile piece of device that is easily prone to damage due to its long recording capacity and high speed operation. – Do not move the unit while it is turned on. – Do not remove the AC power plug from the power outlet during operation. – Do not use the unit in excessively hot or humid places. It may cause condensation to form inside the unit.

If the HDD fails, playback and recording are not possible. In this case, it will be necessary to replace the HDD unit.

WARNING!

The HDD is not a device for storing recorded content permanently. We recommend that you copy the important video content to a recordable DVD disc as backup.
