Important Notes for Users in U.K.

Mains plug

This apparatus is fitted 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. Refit the fuse cover. If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets,

it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fi 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 insertedinto a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

Mains plug

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

• 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 e) 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.

Connections

Connecting to a TV

Connect the unit to a TV after considering the capabilities of your existing equipment.

Before installation, unplug your TV and this unit.

1 Connect the antenna or cable to the

ANTENNA IN jack of this unit.

2 Connect the TV-OUT jack of this unit

to the Aerial jack of your TV. Use the supplied RF cable.

For video/audio connections, you can use SCART cable, component cables or HDMI cable (for HDMI-compatible TV).

A. Using the Scart socket

Connect AV1 (TO TV) Scart socket of this unit to the Scart socket of your TV. Use the supplied Scart cable.

Note

• Switch the input selector on your TV to an appropriate external input channel.

• Connect this unit directly to the TV. If the AV cables are connected to a VCR, pictures may be distorted due to the copy protection system.

• When changing the “Active Video Output” setting to “SCART(RGB)”, “Component (Interlace)” or “Component (Progressive)”, connect to the corresponding jack on the TV. If the setting is changed, for example, to “Component (Interlace)” or “Component (Progressive)” while the scart cable is connected to the TV, a distorted video may be output at Scart output for a short while.

• If the external equipment (e.g. cable box, Canal+ decoder) is connected to AV2, the picture of the external equipment will be output except during the DVD playback of this unit. Turn off the external equipment or press [DISPLAY] to output the picture of this unit.

Component Video cable (not supplied)

Scart cable (supplied)

B.Using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT

jacks and the AUDIO OUT (ANALOG L\R) jacks (for DVD or Tuner)

If your TV has Component Video input jacks, use a Component Video cable and an Audio cable (to connect the AUDIO OUT (ANALOG L\R) jacks).

• The progressive scan video quality is only available when using Component connection and a progressive scan TV. It provides superior picture quality when watching DVD movies.

1 Connect the component video

cables (red/ blue/green - not supplied) from the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks of this unit to the corresponding component video input jacks (usually labelled as Y Pb/ Cb Pr/Cr or YUV) on the TV.

2 Connect the audio cable (red/white -

not supplied) from the AUDIO OUT (ANALOG L\R) jacks of this unit to the audio input jacks on your TV.

Note

• Switch the input selector on your TV to an appropriate external input channel.

• After you have made the connections, set the “Active Video Output” setting. (See pages 79 - 80.)

• The default setting is “SCART(RGB)”.

To enable component video connection, you must set the unit's video output correctly.

1 Make an addition video connection from this unit

to your TV using the supplied Scart cable.

2 Turn on your TV to the correct viewing channel for

the Scart connection.

3 When you have completed the “Initial Setup”, set

“Active Video Output" to “Component(Progressive)” in “HOME” menu.

• If your TV is not compatible with progressive scan, set “Active Video Output” setting to “Component (Interlace)”. Use a commercially available adaptor if the Video input

• jacks of your TVs or monitors are the BNC type.

• Only component and HDMI connections are compatible with the Progressive Scan.

Compatible Port (for DVD or Tuner)

[HDMI CONNECTION]

A simple 1-cable connection with a device having an HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) connector allows digital transfer of both digital video signals and multi-channel audio signals. This is the best method to connect this unit. It can minimise the deterioration of image quality. Use the HDMI cable (commercially available) for connection. Connect the HDMI output jack of this unit to the HDMI input jack of TV.

To play back the digital video images of a DVD via an HDMI connection, it is necessary that both the player and the display device (or an AV amplifier) support a copyright protection system called HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content protection system). HDCP is copy protection technology that comprises data encryption and authentication of the connected AV device. This unit supports HDCP. Please read the operating instructions of your display device (or AV amplifier) for more information.

* HDMI: High Definition Multimedia Interface

Note

• Switch the input selector on your TV to an appropriate external input channel.

• Some HDMI TVs/monitors from different manufacturers may adhere to different standards resulting in unreliable signal transfers.

• When using an HDCP-incompatible display device, the image will not be viewed properly.

• Among the devices that support HDMI, some devices can control other devices via the HDMI.

• The audio signals from the HDMI connector (including the sampling frequency, the number of channels and bit length) may be limited by the device that is connected.

• Among the monitors that support HDMI, some do not support audio output (for example, projectors). In connection with device such as this unit, audio signals are not output from the HDMI output connector.

• When this unit’s HDMI connector is connected to a DVI-D compatible monitor (HDCP compatible) with an HDMI-DVI conversion cable, the signals are output in digital RGB.

About HDD

HDD is a special device which has high recording density and is suited for long-time recording or highspeed cueing but by contrast, has many factors which can cause breakage. Use HDD on the premise that you should dub the recorded programmes to a DVD disc to protect your precious videos.

HDD is a temporary storage location:

HDD is not a permanent storage location of the recorded contents. Be sure to use it as a temporary storage location until you watch the programmes once, edit them, or dub them to a DVD disc.

Be sure to dub (back up) data promptly if you find abnormalities in HDD:

If there is mechanical trouble with the HDD, grinding or other sounds may be heard or blocky noise may appear on the image. If you continue to use as it is, deterioration may continue and eventually the HDD may not be used at all. If you notice any symptoms of a failing HDD, promptly dub the data to a DVD disc. When an HDD fails, recovery of recorded content (data) may be impossible.

About the remaining capacity of HDD recording time:

In recording to HDD, the Remaining Capacity Display may differ from the actual recordable time as this unit adopts Variable Bit Rate encoding, which varies the recording (storage) amount of data in accordance with the amount of information in the video signal. Before recording to the HDD, ensure there is sufficient space on the HDD by deleting unnecessary titles in advance.
