Frequently Asked Questions
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 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 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 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.
Title
Chapter
Title
Chapter Chapter Chapter Chapter
chapter markers
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 recorable DVDs. 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 room for more
recordings.
How good is the quality of the recording?
There are six modes of record quality levels to choose from, ranging from “HQ” (1 hour recording at high quality) to “SLP” (6 hours recording at VHS quality) on a recordable DVD. Choose the quality level that best suits your purpose and the length of material.
Record Quality
HQ High Quality
SP Standard Play
SP+ Standard Play Plus
LP Long Play

SLP Super Long Play

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 the set (e.g., CDs, magazines.) – Install this 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”) clearance from the rear and the top of the set and 5 cm (2”) from the left and right to prevent overheating.
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  lled objects, lighted candles.)
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) 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.
