Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of disc should I use for recording?

You can only record on a DVD+R/+RW disc. 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 6CDs. 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 hour mode indicates the number of hours that will fit on a single disc. The higher the recording mode, the greater space disc required.

What is the difference between DVD+R/ and DVD+RW?

DVD+R are “recordables” and DVD+RW are “rewritables.” 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 literally hundreds of times.

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 DV-format (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 jack.

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.

Programs are recorded as a single title, it 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 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 “finalizing” a disc do?

Finalizing 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 finalizing 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 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 recording.

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 qualified personnel.

Setup

Finding a suitable location

– Place the set on a flat, 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 amplifier.) – Do not put anything under the set (e.g., CDs, magazines.)

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")

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 fibre 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 analog 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.

5cm (2.3")

Avoid high temperatures, moisture, water and dust

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

Connecting to a VCR or other similar device

This connection enables you to record from video tape to a DVD+R/+RW and allows the VCR to be used for playback if the DVD recorder is turned off. A splitter (not supplied) is required for this connection.

1 Connect the Antenna/Cable TV signal to a

splitter. Then connect the RF coaxial cables from the splitter to the antenna input (RF IN) jack on the VCR and the ANTENNA jack on the DVD recorder.

2 Use the supplied RF coaxial cable to

connect the antenna output (RF OUT) jack on the VCR to the antenna input jack on the TV.

4 Use the audio/video cables to connect

Helpful Hints: – You may use the S-VIDEO (Y/C) jack instead of VIDEO (CVBS) jack if the connected device has the same S-VIDEO input/output jack. This video connection provides better picture quality. – Most commercial video cassettes and DVDs are copy-protected and therefore cannot be recorded. – Connect the DVD recorder directly to the TV. If there is a VCR or an additional device in between, the picture quality may be poor because of the copy protection system built into the DVD recorder.
