Before Recording

English

Recording media

The recording media for this recorder are internal hard disk drive and DVD±R/ ±RW/+R DL.

– The hard disk has a high storage density

which enables long recording duration and quick access to the recording titles.

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.

– You can also delete unwanted recordings.

However, the disc space occupied by the deleted recordings cannot be recovered for further recording.

– To play a DVD±R disc on other DVD

players, it must be  nalised. After this is done, no more data can be added to the disc. See ‘Edit Recordings - Recordable DVD - Finalising the DVD±R for playback’ for details.

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 - 4x DVD+R DL 2.4x

Helpful Hints: – In some cases, you may not be able to add new recording to a recordable DVD that contains recordings from other DVD recorders. – If the newly recorded title in the hard disk is not accessible, turn the recorder off and on again to recover the recording. – If you are unable to  t a title to a recordable DVD, split the title to remove the unwanted sections. See ‘Edit Recordings Hard Disk - Video editing’ for details. – If power failure occurred while copying the recordings from hard disk is in progress, it may lead to a bad disc.

TV programmes recorded to the hard disk will be kept as ‘Recordings’ content. It allows you to edit your recording easily and copy to a recordable DVD for safe keeping or later viewing.

The time required for copying is depending on the recording mode that was used on the hard disk recordings. It is not possible to change the recording mode for the copying process. It is therefore important that you choose the appropriate recording mode when you set up the recording to the hard disk.

The copying process is done at a higher speed than the recording. The maximum copying speed is up to 4x. You cannot shorten the time required for recording even with high-speed discs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of disc should I use for recording?

You can only record on DVD±R, DVD±RW or DVD+R DL discs. DVD±R/±RW is the most compatible recordable DVD format in the market today. They are fully compatible with most of the existing DVD-Video players and DVD-ROM drives in computers.

What is the capacity of a DVD±R and DVD±RW?

4.7GB, or equivalent to six CDs. You can store only one hour of recording on a single disc at the highest quality (DVD standard) and about 8 hours recording at the lowest quality (VHS standard). The recording mode indicates the number of hours that can  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, 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 repeatedly.

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 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 socket.

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 Chapter Chapter Chapter

chapter markers

Programmes are recorded as a single title. They 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 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 a speci c intervals.

What does ‘ nalising’ a disc do?

Finalising a disc locks the disc so it can no longer be recorded. This is only required for DVD±R. It will then be compatible with virtually any DVD players. To remove a disc without  nalising it, simply stop recording and eject the disc. You can still record on the disc if there is storage space for more recordings.

How good is the quality of the recording?

There are a few picture quality levels to choose from, ranging from ‘HQ’ (1 hour recording at high quality) to ‘SEP’ (8 hours recording at VHS quality) on a recordable DVD.

Some TV broadcasts or videos from external device that are recorded to this recorder may contain copy protection signals. Such material cannot be played back from the HDD or copied to a recordable DVD.

The copy-protected recordings are marked with the icon either fully protected (copy never) or partially protected (copy once). For copy once recording, playback is possible but once copied to a recordable DVD, the recording will be removed from the HDD.

What is HDMI?

High-De nition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a high-speed digital interface that can transmit uncompressed high de nition video and digital multichannel audio. It delivers high quality picture and sound quality, completely free from noise. HDMI is fully backward-compatible with DVI.

As required by the HDMI standard, connecting to HDMI or DVI products without HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) will result in no Video or Audio output.

What is DVB?

Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) is a standard for digital television maintained by the DVB Project. This recorder has an integrated digital TV tuner (DVB-T) that enables reception of free digital video and radio broadcasts via a terrestrial antenna. It offers the best possible digital audio and video quality.

More stations can be transmitted in the same frequency band and additional media services such as city guides, web-content are possible. The number of these free-to-air stations might vary from country to country.

Frequently Asked Questions (continued)

Why does it take so long to display the contents on my USB device?

– This could be due to the large numbers

of  les (>500  les/folders) or size of the  les (>1MB).

– There could be other non-supported  les

in the device that this unit is trying to read/display.

What if unsupported devices (e.g. USB mouse, keyboards) are plugged into the unit?

The device may cause this unit to be unstable. Remove the unsupported device and unplug the mains cord. Wait for a few minutes before reconnecting the mains cord and power on this unit again.

What happens when I plug in a USB HDD?

HDD is not supported as the large storage capacity makes navigation very dif cult. Transfer the music  les (mp3) and photos (jpg) into a  ash drive if you want to playback on this recorder.

Why does this unit fail to detect my USB portable music player?

The portable music player may require propriety software that is bundled with our system in order to access the contents (eg. playlist).

What types of  le does the system support?

We support only FAT16 and FAT32, not NTFS.

Why does the  le name appear to be different from what was displayed on my computer (e.g. from ‘Good Bye. jpg’ to ‘Good_B~1.jpg’)?

– The length of the  le name is restricted

by the  le system of the device (FAT16), which only supports eight (8) characters.

– The computer may be able to display the

full  le name as the operating system can convert the  le system.

Why can’t I rotate the pictures in my device?

In order to rotate the pictures in the USB device, the picture must contain EXIF information, stored by most digital cameras. This EXIF information may have been removed when you edit or copy the picture from other devices using editing programmes.

Why can’t this unit play some of my music  les, photos or movies?

The music  les may not be playable because of different formats and encoding bit-rates. Similarly, the photos may be of low resolution or too high resolution for this unit to support.

When playing a DivX movie, why the subtitle cannot be displayed properly?

– You have to make sure that the subtitle

 le has the exact same  le name as the movie  le. If for example the  lename of the movie is “Movie.avi”, then you will need to name the text  le “Movie.sub” or “Movie.srt”.

– You may need to change the ‘Character

set’ or ‘DivX subtitle’ display of this player to which supports the recorded DivX subtitle.
