What kind of disc should I use for recording?

You can only record on both 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 recordable 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 8 hours recordings at the lowest quality (SEP Super Extended Play.) The mode of record quality indicates the number of hours that will t on a single disc.

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

DVD±Rs are “recordable” discs and DVD±RWs are “rewritable” discs. With a DVD±R disc, you can record multiple sessions on the same disc, but when the disc is full, you cannot record any more content on the disc. The DVD±RW disc allows you to record over the same disc repeatedly.

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 any one 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.

A program is 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 recorder will automatically create a new Title each time you start a new recording. – For DVD recordings, you can add chapters manually. – For HDD recordings, you can preset chapters to be automatically inserted at

5-minutes intervals.

What does “nalizing” a disc do?

Finalizing a disc locks the disc so it can no longer be recorded, only required for DVD±Rs. It will then be compatible with virtually any DVD player. To close a disc without nalizing it, simply stop recording and eject the disc. You will still be able to record on the disc if there is capacity for more

recordings.

How good is the quality of the recording?

There are seven modes of record quality levels to choose from, ranging from “HQ” (1 hour recording at high quality) to “SEP” (8 hours recording at Super Extended Play quality) on a recordable DVD. 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.

Care and Safety Information

10cm (4.5")

5cm (2.3")

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 the set (e.g., CDs, magazines.) – Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the AC power plug can be reached easily.

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 discs.

HDD (Hard Disk Drive)

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.

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.)

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 will not be 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 as backup.

Connecting to a VCR or other similar device

This connection enables you to record from a video tape to the HDD or a DVD recordable disc and allows the VCR to be used for playback if the recorder is turned off.

IMPORTANT! Your new recorder can replace the VCR for all your recording needs. Just unplug all the connections to your VCR.

Connect the Antenna/Cable TV signal to

the ANTENNA IN jack on the recorder.

Use a RF coaxial cable to connect the

ANTENNA OUT jack on the recorder to the Antenna input jack on your TV (VHF/UHF RF IN.)

Use the audio/video cables to connect

the VIDEO/AUDIO IN on the recorder to the matching VIDEO/ AUDIO output jacks on the VCR.

Use the audio/video cables to connect

the VIDEO/AUDIO -OUT on the recorder to the matching VIDEO/ AUDIO input jacks on the TV.

Helpful Hints: – Most commercial video cassettes and DVDs are copy-protected and therefore cannot be recorded. – Connect the 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 recorder.

TIPS: Before making or changing any connections, make sure that all the devices are disconnected

from the power outlet.

DVD±R (DVD Recordable discs) – Discs that 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 DVD±R discs as long as they have not been nalized. – To play a DVD±R disc on another DVD player, it must be nalized (see page

56.) After this is done, no more content can be added to the disc.

The message ‘This will clear the time shift buffer’ appears.

There is a power failure during the formatting of the recorder’s HDD.

There is a power failure during the copying of les to a DVD±R disc.

– This happens if you try to copy DVDs or video cassettes that

video cassettes. – The DVD recordable disc has a limited recording lifetime, please

change a new disc for recording.

(temporary HDD storage) to be cleared. All contents that were

not marked for recording will be deleted.

– You have to reformat the HDD again.

space used for recording cannot be re-used. The disc can be

used as a normal blank disc. You have to re-copy the les to the

disc again.
