Important notes for users in 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 off 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).

Recording

English

This recorder can record TV
programmes or copy content from an
external device to a DVD recordable disc
or VHS tape. The storage capacity of the
disc and tape are dependable on the
recording mode selected. This recorder
also incorporates timer recording
function which allows a scheduled
recording to be made.

Recording media

The recording media for this recorder
are DVD±R/±RW/+R DL and VHS tape.

DVD±RW (DVD Rewritable)

– Discs that are rewritable can be used for

multiple recordings once the 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 done on DVD±R discs as

long as they have not been  nalised.

– To playback a DVD±R on other DVD

player, it must be  nalised (see the
chapter “Editing/ Finalising Recording –
Playing your recordings (DVD±R) on
other DVD players”). After this is done,
no more data can be added to the disc.

DVD+R DL (DVD+R Double Layer)

– It contains the same usage as DVD+R, the

only difference is the capacity of 8.5 GB.
It offers two recordable layers on a single
DVD disc. The layers are accessible from
the same side of the disc, so recording
can occur completely uninterrupted.

Supported disc type and media
speeds

Disc
DVD+R 1x - 16x

DVD+RW 2.4x - 8x

DVD-R 1x - 16x

DVD-RW 2.4x - 6x

DVD+R DL 2.4x

Media speeds

Helpful Hints:
– It is normal to encounter noise when
recording to discs of higher media speeds.
– Avoid using discs with labels.

VHS Tape

– VHS tapes have record safety tabs to

ensure that recordings will not be
accidentally erased. To prevent
recording, break off the tab. To allow
recording, cover the hole of the tab with
clear tape.

– Without the record safety tab, the VHS

tape will start playback once your insert
the VHS tape into the tape slot.

– The VCR automatically marks the tape

with an index signal at the point where
each recording begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

English

What kind of disc should I use for
recording?

You can record on DVD±R, DVD±RW
or DVD+R DL discs. They are
compatible with 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 6 hours recording 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
DVD±R and DVD±RW?

DVD±R is “recordable” and DVD±RW is
“erasable” and “rewritable”. With a
DVD±R, record multiple sessions on the
same disc, but when the disc is full, no
more recordings can be made to the disc.
The DVD±RW allows you to record
over the same disc repeatedly.

How do I check the remaining space
available on a recordable DVD disc?

In disc menu mode, press REC MODE on
the remote control repeatedly to display
the remaining recording time in different
recording mode.

What is DV?

Using DV, also known as i.LINK, 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.
– Never connect more than one DV
camcorder at a time to this recorder.
– Avoid controlling this recorder from
the 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.

Frequently Asked Questions (continued)

How do I set up Titles and
Chapters?

The 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-minute
intervals.

What does “ nalising” a disc mean?

Finalising a disc locks the disc so it can no
longer be recorded upon, only required
for DVD±R. It will then be compatible
with 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 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” (Super Long
Play). Press REC MODE button on the
remote control to choose the quality
level that best suits your purpose and the
length of material.

What is ‘index’ for VHS tape?

When you make a recording to a VHS
tape, an index is automatically marked on
the tape when recording starts. These
index markings can help to locate a
speci c recording quickly and easily.
