“Easy Recording Guide”
• The Recorder is equipped with a high-capacity hard
disc, so you’ll have more chances than ever before
for timer recording, and the new timer recording
system makes this even easier. A schedule grid of
times and channels is displayed on the screen, and
by simply designating cells in the grid with the
remote control, timer programming becomes as
easy as circling your favorite shows in the newspaper. You can also see at a glance which time slots
are already programmed, and avoid any overlap.
High-capacity hard disc lets you

record and view series and your
favorite programs
• For trendy dramas, series and other shows you
want to watch and record, without missing a week,
use the “Serial Program Timer” feature.
For news and information programs which you
watch everyday and don’t need to store, set
“Overwrite Program Timer”.
• Recorded programs can be viewed by simply
calling them up with the remote control, so there is
no need to search through a lot of programs.
Programs recorded with “Serial Program Timer” can
be batch dubbed onto DVD
save your favorite dramas on DVD.

Comprehensive editing functions
7
(Only titles recorded on the hard disc or in VR
mode on DVD-RW can be edited.)
1Play list edit
This lets you gather only the needed parts (i.e. a
“Play List”) from a recorded original video (title).
You can rearrange scenes and combine them with
other scenes, or rearrange titles. This is convenient
when you want to dub and save only the necessary
scenes and titles.
2Chapter edit
This lets you divide a title into chapter units during
recording/playback or using the edit screen. After
dividing, a list of recordings (thumbnails) can be
displayed in chapter units, so you can copy, erase
or dub to the play list in chapter units.
3Erase scene
This lets you erase unnecessary scenes. This is
convenient when you want to cut out the commercials in a recorded program before dubbing.
4Batch erasing of titles/chapters
Titles and chapters which become unnecessary
after editing can be batch erased by selecting them
from the list of recordings (thumbnails).
5Edit undo function*
If you mistakenly erase data during editing, this
function lets you restore it to its immediately
preceding state, just like “Undo” on a PC, so you
can edit worry-free.

Edit undo can only be used once. It only works when
“UNDO” is assigned to a colored button (green) displayed

• If the cabinet or front panel display gets dirty, gently wipe
it off with soft cloth like flannel. If it is extremely dirty, soak
a cloth in neutral detergent diluted with water, wring the
cloth well, wipe, and then wipe again with a dry cloth.
Using powerful cleaners may cause discoloration,
deterioration or paint peeling. We recommend testing any
cleaners at an inconspicuous location on the Recorder.
Electromagnetic interference
• If you use a mobile phone or other electronic equipment
near the Recorder, video may be disturbed or become
noisy during playback or recording due to electromagnetic interference.
Antenna
• To avoid the effects of radio interference, set up the
antenna at a location away from busy roads, electric
wires for train, electric transmission lines and neon signs.
This is effective for preventing electric shock accidents in
the unlikely event that antenna falls down.
• Do not make the antenna line unnecessarily long, or
bundle it. Be careful because doing so will cause the
picture to be unstable.
• The antenna is exposed to the weather, so be careful to
periodically check and replace it. This will ensure a
beautiful picture. Antennas are particularly susceptible to
damage at locations with heavy smoke and soot, and
locations exposed to sea breeze.
Hard disc (HDD)
• This Recorder records programs onto a hard disc (HDD).
The hard disc is equipped with a safety mechanism to
protect data from impact, vibration and dust. However, to
prevent loss of recorded data, you should be particularly
careful of the following points:
• Do not subject the Recorder to any impact.
• Do not use at a location which is unstable or subject to
vibration.
• Do not move the Recorder while the power is on.
• Do not unplug the power cord from the AC outlet
during recording or playback. First turn power “OFF”,
and then unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.
• Do not use at a location with abrupt temperature
variation (variation of more than 50°F [10°C] per hour).
• The Recorder will malfunction if used at a cold location
(41°F [5°C] or less) or an extremely hot location (95°F
35°C] or higher).
• If you carry the Recorder from a cold location to a
warm location, let the Recorder sit for a while before
using it.
• In the unlikely event that the hard disc (HDD) malfunctions for some reason, you cannot replace it by yourself. If
you disassemble the Recorder you will void the warranty.
Please contact the nearest Sharp Authorized Service
Center. We cannot provide compensation for data content
if data is lost or not recorded.
Connected equipment
• Read carefully the “Precautions for Use” in the operation
manual for any equipment connected to the Recorder.
Power conservation
• When you are finished using the Recorder, conserve
power by turning power off. If you go on a trip, or
otherwise will not use the Recorder for a long time,
unplug the power cord from the AC outlet to ensure
safety.
If you do not use the Recorder for
a long time
• Failure to use the Recorder for a long time may cause
problems, so turn on power and operate the Recorder
from time to time.
Requests regarding setup
• Do not cover the fan or ventilation holes on the back of
the Recorder. Doing so will interfere with heat radiation
and cause malfunction.
Notes about use
• The Recorder and cabinet may become a little hot,
depending on the use environment when using this
Recorder. This is not a malfunction.
• When unplugging the power cord (to move the Recorder,
etc.), first turn off power (STANDBY indicator on the front
of the Recorder lights up red) to protect the hard disc
(HDD).
• When power is turned on, the fan will rotate to cool the
Recorder.
• Immediately after plugging the power cord into an AC
outlet, or after recovery from a power failure, the unit may
fail to operate for more than ten seconds because the
Recorder is performing system adjustment.
Notes about this operation
manual
• In this operation manual, the terms “the Recorder”, “this
Recorder” or “your Recorder” refer to the “DV-HR300U
DVD Recorder with Hard Disc”.
• The screen displays and Recorder illustrations given in
this operation manual are for explanatory purposes, and
may differ somewhat from the actual screen and Recorder.

About Hard Disc (HDD)
This Recorder has a built in hard disc (abbreviated
“HDD”) for recording and playback. Beware of the
following points when setting up and using the Recorder.
Failure to observe precautions may cause damage to
the HDD itself or its content, failure of the disc to
operate, or recording of noise.
• Do not subject to any vibration or impact.
• Do not place at a cramped location which might block the
cooling fan or ventilation port on the back of the Recorder.
• Do not place at a location with severe temperature
variation.
s If the Recorder is set up at a location with severe
temperature variation, dew may form on and inside the
Recorder. If the Recorder is used with internal dew
formation present, this may cause HDD damage or
malfunction. We recommend keeping variation in room
temperature within 50˚F (10˚C) per hour.
• Do not place at a location with high humidity.
• Place the Recorder horizontally, never at an incline.
• When the power is on, do not unplug the power cord from
the AC outlet, turn off the breaker for the area where the
Recorder is set up, or move the Recorder.
s When moving the Recorder, first turn off the power and
then unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.
Recording Format
■ HDD recording is done using the variable bit rate
format for more efficient recording.
The following phenomena may occur.
With the variable bit rate format, the remaining amount
which can be recorded may increase or decrease relative
to the display of the remaining amount of HDD space.
• When the display indicates that the remaining amount of
HDD space is low, first delete unnecessary programs,
and then record with an extra margin in the amount of
remaining space.
• Even if you delete a program, the remaining amount may
not increase by the amount of deleted time. When
recording new video, record with an extra margin in the
amount of remaining space.
• With this Recorder, part of the HDD capacity is used as a
system management area.
Unrecordable Material
• This Recorder is equipped with a copy guard function
that prevents recording of video software or broadcast
programs that contain a signal that restricts copying in
accordance with copyrights and so forth.
• In the case a copy guard signal is contained in a source
video that occurs partway through recording, recording is
paused at that point. Recording resumes when the copy
guard signal is no longer present, while no recordings will
be made for the part where the copy prevention signal is
present.
In the unlikely event that there is some problem like loss
of recorded video or audio content due to a HDD
malfunction, please be aware beforehand that Sharp will
bear no responsibility to compensate for the content
which could not be recorded or edited, for the loss of
recorded or edited video, or for other related direct or
indirect damages.
■ If a power failure occurs
• The content being recorded or timer recorded will be
damaged if power failure occurs.
• The content being played back may be damaged.
■ For important recording
• If the HDD malfunctions, the content recorded on the
HDD may be lost. If you wish to save content permanently, we recommend copying or moving the content
to DVD-RW or DVD-R.
NOTE
• If a message indicating a HDD error is displayed (such as
“CANNOT OPERATE DUE TO ERROR.”) and the HDD has
malfunctioned, you cannot replace the HDD by yourself.
If you disassemble the Recorder, the warranty will
become void. Also, recovery of data is impossible. If
playback is possible, re-record the recorded content onto
a DVD-R/RW disc, and contact your nearest Sharp
Authorized Service Center.
Hard Disc Operation
(Recording / Playback / Time Shift
Recording)
• If the Recorder is used in a cold location (a location at
low temperature), the drive will only allow live viewing
after power is turned on until the HDD is ready. During
this time, the Recorder will not allow Time Shift Viewing,
recording, display of recording lists or playback of
recorded programs. Please wait until the HDD is ready.
Initialization
• Initialization erases all video recorded on the HDD. Be
sure to dub important recordings onto DVD-R/RW discs
before initializing.
CPRM (control) Information
• There are 3 types of copy control signals: “Copy Freely”,
“Copy Once” and “Copy Never”.
“Copy Never” programs cannot be recorded on HDD.
When a “Copy Once” enabled program is copied from
HDD to DVD-RW, the video is not copied — it is moved
from the HDD to the DVD-RW (i.e. the content recorded
on the HDD is erased).

When you want to record highquality images.
This is the standard recording
mode.
When you want to record for a long
period of time with slightly lower
image quality.
When you want to place priority on
recording time.
• Recordable time is based on the recording time when
using a 4.7 GB disc. Since recording capacity varies
according to the recorded material, there may be cases
where there is much more disc space remaining on the
disc when recording is completed.
• Refer to page 42 about the recordable times when you
choose “MN” (manual) Recording mode.
* Since recording to DVD is performed using VBR (variable
bit rate, refer to the section on VBR Control on page 116)
with the exception of some recording modes, recording
time varies according to the material to be recorded.
• Recordable time may be shorter than that indicated above in
the case of recording material of poor image quality such as
broadcasts from televisions with poor reception.
• This does not guarantee the length of recording time. Actual
recording time may be shorter than that indicated above
depending on image quality and other aspects.
• The total of recording time and remaining time may not always
agree with the recordable time of the recording mode.
• Block-like images may become conspicuous during scenes
containing rapid movement due to the characteristics of digital
image compression technology.
Disc Remaining Time

video like TV broadcasts, video is sent at a rate of about
29.9 frames per second. For convenience, this Recorder
calculates using a value of 30 frames per second.
(If, for example, you record one hour, the time display on
the Recorder will be: 60 minutes x 0.999 = 59.94 minutes
= 59 mins. 56 secs.)

Initialization and Finalization
Initialization (Formatting)
Initialization is required when using DVD-RW discs in the Video mode. (See page 106 for details about Initialization.)
When an unused DVD-RW disc is placed in the Recorder immediately after the disc has been purchased, the Recorder is set
to automatically begin initializing in the VR mode. The settings can also be changed so that discs are initialized in the Video
mode (page 106).
When using a DVD-RW disc in the Video mode without changing this setting, initialize the disc in the Video mode after first
completing initialization in the VR mode (page 106).
• Initialization causes the entire previously recorded contents of the disc to be erased.
• It takes about 1 minute to 1 minute and 30 seconds for initialization to be completed.
Allowing Discs to Be Played Back with Other DVD Players (Finalization)
Discs must always be finalized in order to play them back with another DVD player after having been recorded in
the Video mode. (See page 106 for details about Finalization)
Finalize discs on which all recordings have been completed so that they can be viewed with another DVD player or a DVD
Video compatible PC. Discs that are not finalized may not be able to be played back with other DVD players or DVD Video
compatible PCs. (However, this does not guarantee that finalized discs can be played back on all DVD players or DVD Video
compatible PCs.)
• Finalizing a DVD-R disc prevents all recording and editing of that disc.
• Although DVD-RW discs can be re-recorded by initializing even after they have been recorded in the Video mode and
finalized, all previously recorded contents are erased.
• Finalization is required if a disc recorded in the VR mode cannot be played back with a DVD-RW compatible player. (Discs
formatted in the VR mode can be recorded and edited even after finalization.)
• Finalization takes from several minutes to about an hour. (Processing takes longer if there is considerable available space
on the disc.)
The following operations may cause malfunction.
• Operating discs recorded or edited by this Recorder in a DVD recorder or PC’s DVD drive manufactured by other manufacturers.
• Using the discs in above situation again with this Recorder.
• Operating discs recorded or edited by a DVD recorder or PC’s DVD drive made by other manufacturers than the one for
this Recorder.
About the Contents of the Disc
Title, Chapter and Track
• DVDs are divided into “Titles” and “Chapters”. If the disc
has more than one movie on it, each movie would be a
separate “Title”. “Chapters”, on the other hand, are
subdivisions of titles. (See Example 1.)
• Video CDs and Audio CDs are divided into “Tracks”. You
can think of a “Track” as one tune on an Audio CD. (See
Example 2.)
Recording on a DVD-R/RW disc
• One recording is treated as one title and the chapters will
be inserted automatically every 10 minutes. You can
choose the chapter interval from the following: 10
minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or off (page 98).
• Each title, chapter and track will be numbered in order.
Title, chapter and track may not be numbered in some
discs.
Recording on a DVD-RW disc in VR mode
• When you pause during recording or erase the scene using edit function, chapter marks will be inserted automatically. You
can also insert chapter marks at your favorite scenes (page 85).
Recording in Video mode
• You cannot insert chapter marks at your favorite scenes.

Important Information
Disc Precautions
Be Careful of Scratches and Dust
• DVD-R and DVD-RW discs are sensitive to dust, fingerprints and especially scratches. A scratched disc may
not be able to be recorded, or important data recorded
may not be able to be played back. Handle discs with
care and store them in a safe place.
Proper Disc Storage
Place the disc in the center of
the disc case and store the
case and disc upright.
Avoid storing discs in locations
subject to direct sunlight, next
to heating appliances or in
locations of high humidity.
Do not drop discs or subject
them to strong vibrations or
impacts.
Avoid storing discs in locations
where there are large amounts
of dust or locations where mold
tends to grow easily.
Handling Precautions
• If the surface is soiled, wipe gently with a soft, damp
(water only) cloth. When wiping discs, always move the
cloth from the center hole toward the outer edge.
• Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzene, thinner,
static electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent.
• Do not touch the surface.
• Do not stick paper or adhesive labels to the disc.
• If the playing surface of a disc is soiled or scratched, the
Recorder may decide that the disc is incompatible and
eject the disc tray, or it may fail to play the disc correctly.
Wipe any soiling off the playing surface with a soft cloth.

Cleaning the Pick Up Lens
• Never use commercially available cleaning discs. The
use of these discs can damage the lens.
• Request cleaning of the lens to the nearest Sharp
Authorized Service Center.
Warning of Dew Formation
• Dew may form on pick up lens or disc in the following
conditions:
• Immediately after a heater has been turned on.
• In a steamy or very humid room.
• When the Recorder is suddenly moved from a cold
environment to a warm one.
When dew forms:
It becomes difficult for the Recorder to read the signals
on the disc and prevents the Recorder from operating
properly.
To remove dew:
Take out the disc and leave the recorder with the power
off until the dew disappears. Using the recorder with
dew formation may cause malfunction.
Cautions Regarding Recording
ÆÆ
Æ Always Make Sure to Test Record First
ÆÆ
• Make a test recording with a DVD-RW disc first before
making any important recordings to confirm whether
or not the recorded material is recorded properly.
ÆÆ
Æ Compensation for Recordings
ÆÆ
• In the event a recording is unable to be made due to a
problem with this Recorder or a disc, or due to an
external factor such as a power failure or condensation of moisture and so forth, the manufacturer is not
responsible for compensation for unrecorded contents
or incidental damages.

the Recorder may not turn on. If this happens, wait a
while and then turn on power again.
About the Power Supply
• Do not unplug the power cord immediately after you
plug it into the AC outlet (less than about 15 seconds
after plugging in). In very rare cases, this may cause
the memory to revert to its initial state, and all timer
programs will be erased. If this happens, EZ Set Up
will be performed automatically. If you pull out the
power plug while power is on, it will take a while for the
hard disc to get ready when you turn on power the
next time. During this time you can only view live
broadcasts.
• If you turn on power in a low-temperature environment,
only live broadcast viewing is possible until the hard
disc (HDD) reaches its operating temperature.

NOTE
• If the timer recording program is affected
by the DST time change, check your TV

Editing (HDD/DVD)
About Editing
Content that can be edited and editing operations vary
according to the recording mode.
Recordings on HDD, or on DVD-RW in
VR mode
You can do various types of editing with this Recorder alone.
For example it is possible to create a compilation of your
favorite videos by gathering your favorite scenes from
recorded titles, moving scenes within a specified range, or
erasing unnecessary scenes. You can edit original videos
you have recorded into a Play List without changing the
content of the original videos.
NOTE
• If disc protection is set for a DVD-RW, it cannot be edited.
ORIGINAL
• A recorded video (title) in as is form is called an
ORIGINAL. A single recording (from record start to stop)
forms a single title.
PLAY LIST
• A title created by editing based on originals is called a
PLAY LIST. A play list can be remade any number of
times.

Editing Procedure
Basic procedure for editing an original title
recorded in VR mode
Load a disc.
Select the title to be edited, and edit.
• Erasing Unnecessary Scenes from an Original Title
(ERASE SCENE) (page 81).
• Inputting/Changing Title Name (CHANGE TITLE
NAME) (page 83).
• Changing Thumbnail (CHANGE THUMBNAIL) (page
84).

Basic procedure for editing titles recorded in VR
mode after making a Play List
Load a disc.
Create a Play List.
• Creating from Original Titles (page 88).
• Creating from Part of an Original (page 88).
NOTE
• A Play List is a list which describes the playback sequence of originals, and it does not actually copy the
originals. This makes it possible to perform editing while
using only a little disc space.
Recordings on DVD-R/RW in Video
mode
The following content can be edited.
• Input (change) title name (page 83)
• Erase title (page 87)
NOTE
• ERASE TITLE for a recording in Video mode will change
settings so that the “erased” title cannot be seen in the
“REC LIST”, but this does not mean that the video is
actually erased. (Free time on the disc will not increase.
With a DVD-RW recorded in Video mode, free time on the
disc will increase when the title recorded last is erased.)
• Editing is not possible if the disc has been finalized (page
106). With a DVD-RW, editing is possible again if finalization is canceled.
• Additional recording and editing can be done using only
this Recorder until the disc is finalized.
Select and edit the created Play List.
• Erasing All Titles (page 87).
• Erasing by Selecting a Title (or Chapter) (page 87).
• Adding a Scene from an Original to a Play List (ADD
SCENE) (page 89).
• Changing the Title Sequence (MOVE TITLE) (page 91).
• Erasing Unnecessary Scenes (ERASE SCENE) (page

• Combining Chapters Together (COMBINE CHAPTERS)
(page 92).
NOTE
Editing cannot be done in the following cases.
• Play Lists cannot be created for discs recorded in Video
mode.
• Play Lists cannot be created for recordings on DVD-R.
• Finalized DVD-RWs (Video mode) cannot be edited.
(Editing can be enabled by canceling finalization.)
• A Play List cannot be created from original titles/chapters
containing a “Copy Once” enabled program which is
recorded on HDD.
•
After setting timer dubbing (i.e. timer dubbing is on standby),
you cannot erase or edit the program being dubbed.

Seamless Playback
This enables smooth playback at the
transitions between edited video scenes.
(However, a shift of about one second may
arise at the transitions, and part of the scene
may not appear.) (Page 103)
• Set this function by selecting: “START

High Speed Dubbing Priority
If a title is recorded onto HDD using high
speed dubbing priority, editing cannot be
done at the frame level. To perform editing at
the frame level, set “HI SP DUB PRIORITY” to
“NO” (pages 52, 58,103).
• Set this function by displaying “REC LIST”
and then selecting in order of: “FUNCTION
MENU” → “HI SP DUB PRIORITY”.
• If you have recorded a title with HI SP DUB
PRIORITY set to “YES”, and you want to
edit that title in frame units, cancel HI SP
DUB PRIORITY (page 78).
You cannot set “HI SP DUB PRIORITY” to
the title again once you cancel.
NOTE
• When you perform editing like adding a
chapter mark or erasing a scene, a slight
discrepancy may arise between the edit
screen and actually edited video.
• If you play back a disc edited at the frame
level with another DVD recorder, there may
be a shift in the start or end point, or the
screen may show a different thumbnail.

(The recording mode set in above situation will have lower picture quality than the
originally set recording mode.)
• If there is very little disc capacity left on the disc, the program may not fit even if Exact
Recording is set.
• When recording in EP or MN1 mode, there is no lower recording mode, so Exact

About SAP
This Recorder can record stereo or SAP
(Separate Audio Program) broadcasts, where
available. If the broadcast is in stereo, the
Recorder automatically records the stereo
sound. If the broadcast is in SAP, you can
record both the MAIN and the SAP sounds. If
the broadcast is in stereo/SAP, you can
record either the SAP sound by setting the
SAP mode to “ON”, or stereo sound by
setting the SAP mode to “OFF”.
