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).

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of disc should I use for recording?

You can only record on DVD±R and DVD±RW discs. DVD±R/±RW is the most compatible recordable DVD format on the market today. They are fully compatible to 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 6 CDs. You can store only one hour of recordings on a single disc at the highest quality (DVD standard) and about 6 hours recordings at the lowest quality (VHS standard). The recording mode indicates the number of hours that will  t on a single disc.

What is the difference between DVDvR 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 repeatedly.

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.

How do I set up Titles and Chapters?

The DVD recorder automatically creates 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 5-minutes intervals.

What does “ nalising” a disc do?

Finalising a disc locks the disc so it can no longer be recorded, only required for DVD±R. It will then be compatible with virtually any DVD player. To close 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 storage space for more recordings.

How good is the quality of the recording?

There are a few picture quality levels to choose from, ranging from “1 hour mode” (High Quality) to “6 hours mode” (VHS quality). Press REC MODE button on the remote control to choose the quality level that best suits your purpose and the length of material.

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 markers

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

Care and Safety Information

English

CAUTION! High voltage! Do not open the device. 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 or above the set (e.g., CDs, magazines). – Install the 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 5 cm (2.3”) from the left and right to prevent overheating.

5cm (2.3")

Cleaning discs

Some problems occur because the disc inside the recorder is dirty (frozen picture, sound disruptions, picture distortions). 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 analogue discs.

Since the optical unit (laser) of the DVD recorder operates at a higher power than regular DVD or CD players, cleaning CDs intended for DVD or CD players may damage the optical unit (laser). Therefore, refrain from using a cleaning CD.

Recording

Discs for recording

Several different formats of DVD recordable discs can be used with this DVD recorder:

DVD±RW (DVD Rewritable) – Discs that are re-writable can be used for multiple recordings once existing data

is erased.

DVD±R (DVD Recordable) – Discs can only be used for a single recording. Each new recording is always added at the end of all previous recordings as existing recordings cannot be overwritten. – Editing can be made on any DVD±R discs as long as they have not been  nalised. It is also possible to create additional chapter markers. – You can also delete any unwanted recordings. However, the disc space occupied by the deleted recordings cannot be recovered for further recording. – To play a DVD±R on other DVD player, it must be  nalised (see page 36 “Playing your recordings (DVD±R) on other DVD players”). After this is done, no more data can be added to the disc.

IMPORTANT! Unrecordable pictures

Television programmes,  lms, video tapes, discs, and other materials may be copy-protected and therefore cannot be recorded on this recorder.

Recording settings

The default recording settings allow you to set the auto chapter markers, preferred recording input source and recording mode. Any changes made using the remote control will only apply to the current recording settings, the default recording settings will remain unchanged for the next recording.

faulty. This interference is unavoidable with copy-protected

DVDs or video cassettes. – The DVD±R/±RW has recording lifetime, please change a

new disc for recording.
