Features

The DV-HR480H/DV-HR400H DVD Recorder with Hard Disc realises easy programming with the GUIDE Plus+ system, and up to 48x high-speed dubbing.

“DVD Multi-Play” can play 5 types

of recordable DVD discs

• Besides DVD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+RW *

DVD+R *1 discs, it can also play DVD-RAM *2 discs. Even a DVD borrowed from a friend can be played no matter what format it uses.

Only the discs recorded in a video format and finalised can be played.

DVD-RAM Version 2 discs with a 4.7GB or 9.6GB capacity which have been recorded using the VR system of another DVD recorder. (To play a DVD-RAM disc, remove the disc from its cartridge.)

Support for high-speed dubbing

and

at up to 48x speed from the HDD to DVD makes creating a video library easy

1High speed dubbing*

Enables high speed dubbing from hard disc to DVD so you can enjoy creating your own video library.

2Rate conversion dubbing

The mode can be selected from 32 levels just like recording mode. This enables recording at the optimal picture quality, given the remaining empty space on the disc.

3Exact dubbing

This automatically adjusts to the optimal record mode so that the material is dubbed exactly into the remaining area on the disc.

To perform high-speed dubbing, you must use discs conforming to Ver.1.1/2x, 1.2/2x or 1.2/4x for DVD-RW, or Ver.2.0/4x or 2.0/8x for DVD-R. When using DVD-RW Ver.1.1/2x and DVD-R Ver.2.0/4x, the maximum dubbing speeds will be approximately 12x and 24x, respectively.

Progressive scanning playback

• Using Component Video Output, you can enjoy high

quality, high-density video with no jagged contours and no flicker.

The GUIDE Plus+ system

• The GUIDE Plus+

screen television programming guide integrated into the Recorder. The system is available at no monthly charge and offers programme listings for all major channels received in your home, one-touch recording, search by genre, recommendations according to your profile and more. In this new era of ever-increasing number of channels, the GUIDE Plus+ system offers television viewers a convenient way to find out what's on right now or in the next week, by channel or by genre. The GUIDE Plus+

*4 system is an interactive on-

system also allows viewers to automatically set their recording selections quickly and easily. The TV listings information displayed in the GUIDE Plus+ system is obtained directly from sources in the broadcasting industry. This information is received and processed by Gemstar-TV Guide and “broadcasted” via so called “Host Channels” directly to the Recorder.

• You can also programme your Recorder for timer recording simply by inputting the PlusCode number.

Built-in DV terminal for high

quality dubbing from digital video camcorder (DV-HR480H only)

• You can connect to a digital video camcorder with

i.LINK to perform high quality digital video dubbing. You can also operate camcorder playback functions such as rewind, fast forward, and stop from the control panel.

High picture quality design (Used

in all hard disc and DVD modes)

1VBR (Variable Bit Rate) recording

Constantly maintains optimal high picture quality by varying the bit rate (amount of video data) for each scene depending on the video content (e.g. whether movement is fast or slow).

2Improved play noise reduction

3-dimensional DIGITAL NOISE REDUCTION: This eliminates the noise contained in the brightness signals and colour signals, and minimizes the rough textures of images. BLOCK NOISE REDUCTION: This cuts the amount of block noise seen in the fast-moving images in sports programmes, for example. MOSQUITO NOISE REDUCTION: This reduces the flicker noise that occurs in areas such as the outlines of images.

3Linear PCM recording

Linear PCM recording with high sound quality is supported * other such programmes with a clear sound quality.

Supports only the XP mode.

to reproduce music programmes and

Features

Speed viewing and speed listening

(Rapid play)

• Plays a disc at 1.5 times faster than normal speed with sound. It lets you check lengthy recorded programmes quickly and easily.

32-step manual rate video record-

ing

• The video recording mode can be selected form 32 steps, including four basic steps of high image quality (XP), standard (SP), x2 (LP) and x3 (EP) . You may choose one from these steps for optimal image quality depending on the amount of free memory remaining on the disc.

Comprehensive editing functions

(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 programme 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 coloured button (yellow) displayed on the screen.

“Time Shift Viewing”, “Chasing

Playback” and “Simultaneous Recording/Playback” —functions you can only get with a hard disc

1Time shift viewing

While you are watching a programme, the phone rings.… At times like this, you can pause the programme being broadcast at the press of a button, and then watch the rest of the programme at your leisure after you finish your phone call.

2Chasing playback

3Simultaneous recording/playback

Even while recording to the hard disc, you can enjoy playback of a DVD, or programmes already recorded on hard disc. You don’t have to wait for recording to finish.

MP3/WMA file playback

• This Recorder allows you to playback MP3/WMA files recorded on CD-RW/R.

JPEG file playback

• This Recorder enables you to display still images stored as JPEG files on a CD-RW/R. You can display images one at a time, or use the Slide Show function to automatically display images sequentially.

Precautions about Using This Product

Do not use at locations at high temperature.

• If you leave this equipment at a location which rises to an abnormally high temperature (like the inside of a car with the windows shut), this may cause deformation of the cabinet or malfunction. Be very careful not to allow the area around the Recorder or discs to reach a high temperature.

• Do not place the Recorder on any equipment which gets hot.

• Do not place at a location which is exposed to direct sunlight, or near a heater. Be careful because doing so will have an adverse effect on the cabinet and components.

Avoid dust and smoke.

• Do not place the Recorder at a location which is unstable, subject to heavy vibration or where there is a lot of dust or tobacco smoke. Doing so may cause malfunction or accidents.

Set up the Recorder so it is horizontal.

• Do not stand the Recorder up vertically or place it upside down. Doing so will cause malfunction.

Do not place objects on the Recorder.

• Do not place any objects, such as vases or lighted candles on the top of the Recorder.

• Set up at a location where there is adequate space above the Recorder.

• Do not place a TV or other heavy object on the Recorder. Doing so may result in problems like noise appearing on the screen, or deformation of the cabinet.

Keep away from magnetic objects.

• Keep the Recorder away from strong magnetic objects.

Do not remove the cabinets.

• Do not remove the Recorder cabinets. Touching parts inside the cabinet could result in electric shock and/or damage to the Recorder. For service and adjustment inside the cabinet, please contact the nearest service centre approved by Sharp.

Do not cover the fan or ventilation holes on the back of the Recorder.

• When setting up the Recorder, do not cover the fan or ventilation holes on the rear of the Recorder. This will interfere with the cooling fan and cause malfunction. Be especially careful of this point when housing the Recorder in a TV stand or AV rack. Ensure that there is a gap of approximately 5 cm (2 inch) between the back of the Recorder and the wall, TV stand or AV rack.

5cm

• Do not use the Recorder on carpets, or on a bed or sofa, or wrap the Recorder in cloth or other material. This will interfere with the cooling fan and cause malfunction.

Handle the Recorder carefully.

• Do not drop the Recorder, or subject it to strong impact or vibration. Doing so will cause malfunction. Be careful when carrying or moving the Recorder.

No fingers or other objects inside

• Do not put any foreign object on the disc tray.

When moving or shipping the Recorder

• Please remove any discs before packing the Recorder. If you are not using the Recorder for long periods, remove any discs and turn off the power.

Dew formation

• Dew may form on the surface of and inside the Recorder if you suddenly carry it from a cold location to a warm location, or use it in a cold room where heating has just been turned on (i.e. on a winter morning). If dew forms, let the Recorder sit with the power off until the dew disappears. Using the Recorder with dew formation present may cause malfunction. (Page 17)

Precautions about Using This Product

Upkeep of cabinet

• The cabinet surface employs a lot of plastic. Do not wipe these surfaces with benzene or thinner because this may cause deterioration or paint peeling.

• Do not apply volatile liquids like insecticide to the cabinet. Also, do not allow long-term contact with materials like rubber, vinyl products or synthetic leather. Doing so may cause problems like paint peeling.

• Do not affix stickers or tape to the Recorder. Doing so may cause cabinet discolouration or damage.

• 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 discolouration, 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.

Aerial

• To avoid the effects of radio interference, set up the aerial 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 aerial falls down.

• Do not make the aerial line unnecessarily long, or bundle it. Be careful because doing so will cause the picture to be unstable.

• The aerial is exposed to the weather, so be careful to periodically check and replace it. This will ensure a beautiful picture. Aerials are particularly susceptible to damage at locations with heavy smoke and soot, and locations exposed to sea breeze.

Hard disc (HDD)

• This Recorder records programmes 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 10°C per hour).

• The Recorder will malfunction if used at a cold location

(5°C or less) or an extremely hot location (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 service centre approved by Sharp. 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, by turning the power off you will conserve power. If you are away for long periods, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet to ensure safety.

Important note regarding setup

• Do not cover the fan or ventilation holes on the back of the Recorder. Doing so will interfere with heat dissipation 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-HR480H/ DV-HR400H 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 as “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 the Recorder to any vibration or impact.

• Do not place the Recorder in a cramped location which might block the cooling fan or ventilation port on the back of the Recorder.

• Do not place the Recorder 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 10˚C per hour. Do not place the Recorder 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 (the STANDBY indicator is lit red)and then unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.

Recording Format

■ HDD recording is done using the variable bit rate format (VBR) 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 programmes, and then record with an extra margin in the amount of remaining space.

• Even if you delete a programme, 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 programmes 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 an 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 may 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 an HDD error is displayed (such as “ERROR IN HDD. CANNOT OPERATE.”) 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-RW/R disc, and contact your nearest service centre approved by Sharp.

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 programmes. Please wait until the HDD is ready.

Initialisation

• Initialisation erases all video recorded on the HDD. Ensure you dub important recordings onto DVD-RW/R discs before initialising.

CPRM (Copy Control) Information

• CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media) manages protection for content copyrights.

• There are 3 types of copy control signals: “Copy Freely”, “Copy Once” and “Copy Never”. “Copy Never” programmes cannot be recorded. When a “Copy Once” enabled programme 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).

• “Copy Once” programmes that have been recorded to a DVD-RW disc cannot be dubbed to the HDD.

Description

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.

• 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 43 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 126) 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.

• When recording from digital broadcasts, you may notice a slight delay between video and audio. This is not a malfunction of the product.

Initialisation and Finalisation

Initialisation (Formatting)

Initialisation is required when using DVD-RW discs in the Video mode. (See page 96 for details about Initialisation.)

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 initialising in the VR mode. The settings can also be changed so that discs are initialised in the Video mode (“DVD AUTO INITIALISE” on page 105). When using a DVD-RW disc in the Video mode without changing this setting, initialise the disc in the Video mode after first completing initialisation in the VR mode (page 96).

• Initialisation entirely erases the contents of the disc.

• It takes about 1 minute to 1 and a half minutes for initialisation to be completed.

Allowing Discs to Be Played Back with Other DVD Players (Finalisation)

Discs must always be finalised in order to play them back with another DVD player after having been recorded in the Video mode. (See page 96 for details about Finalisation.)

Finalise 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 finalised may not be able to be played back with other DVD players or DVD Video compatible PCs. (However, this does not guarantee that finalised discs can be played back on all DVD players or DVD Video compatible PCs.)

• Finalising a DVD-R disc prevents all recording and editing of that disc.

• Although DVD-RW discs can be re-recorded by initialising even after they have been recorded in the Video mode and

finalised, all previously recorded contents are erased.

• Finalisation 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 finalisation.)

• Finalisation 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 manu- facturers.

• 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 Sharp.

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-RW/R 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 104).

• 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 markers will be inserted automatically.

You can also insert chapter markers at your favourite scenes (page 86).

Recording in Video mode

You cannot insert chapter markers at your favourite scenes.

Important Information

Disc Precautions

Be Careful of Scratches and Dust

• DVD-RW and DVD-R 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 centre of the disc case and store the case and disc upright. Avoid storing discs in locations subject to direct sunlight, close 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 centre 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 service centre approved by Sharp.

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 in Advance

ÆÆ

• Make a test recording with a DVD-RW disc in advance of making any important recordings to confirm whether or not the material to record is recorded properly.

ÆÆ

Æ Compensation for Failed Recordings

ÆÆ

• In the event a recording is unsuccessful 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.

Guide to Recordable Length of Time

The recording mode is a setting value for the image quality. This Recorder provides five types of recording modes, consisting of four basic modes of EP, LP, SP and XP, and the MN mode, in which finer settings can be selected. The higher the image quality, the shorter the recording time becomes. This is because higher quality images require larger amounts of data for recording.

System

NOTE

In areas where Host Channels cannot be

• received or data from the Host Channels do not download, some features of the GUIDE Plus+ system such as TV listings data and One-Button Recording are not available. If you are located in such an area, other features such as Manual Recording (Page

53) are available. For the table of Host Channels, see page 47.

The GUIDE Plus+ System Overview

The GUIDE Plus+ on-screen television programming guide integrated into the Recorder. The system is available at no monthly charge and offers programme listings for all major channels received in your home, one-touch recording, search by genre, recommendations according to your profile and more.

You can start the GUIDE Plus+ system by pressing GUIDE at anytime except during playback and editing.

In this new era of ever-increasing number of channels, the GUIDE Plus+ system offers television viewers a convenient way to find out what’s on right now or in the next week, by channel or by genre. The GUIDE Plus+ system also allows viewers to automatically set their viewing and recording selections quickly and easily. The TV listings information displayed in the GUIDE Plus+ system is obtained directly from sources in the broadcasting industry. This information is received and processed by Gemstar-TV Guide and “broadcasted” via so called “Host Channels” directly to your Recorder equipped with the GUIDE Plus+ system.

In order to receive the correct TV listings information for your country / region you need to “setup” your GUIDE Plus+ system and “download” TV listings information. The initial download may take up to 24 hours. Once you have received the first download of TV listings data, all future updates are automatic.

• Even when the power is off, the internal

power source is on during download of TV listings data. When you want to use the Recorder while TV listings data is being downloaded, press OPERATE and the STANDBY indicator of the Recorder will be lit red. (It may take 1-2 minutes for this process.) After the STANDBY indicator is lit red, press OPERATE once more. (The download of TV listings data will be suspended.)

The GUIDE Plus+ Setup

Preparation before the GUIDE Plus+ setup

• Complete the connection of your equipment (the Recorder, TV, aerial, external tuner if applicable). See page 23 for basic connection. Please note that if you use an external receiver (such as Satellite tuner), you have to connect the plug of G-LINK cable to the back of the Recorder and place the other end in front of the tuner. This will allow you to control the tuner of the receiver through the GUIDE Plus+ system.

• Complete the setup of the Recorder. It is important that “AUTO INSTALLATION” has been done to install all available channels.

Without an External Receiver

If you receive all your TV channels through a standard (analogue) terrestrial aerial or through cable without using an external receiver, follow the procedure below.

Press GUIDE to display the GUIDE Plus+ setup menu screen.

Press ' / " to select “Postal Code”. Press SET/ENTER, then press ' / " / \ / | to enter your postal code. Leave the “External Receiver” fields as is (to “None”). Then press GUIDE to exit the setup menu.

Leave the Recorder in “STANDBY” overnight to receive the TV listings data.

• The GUIDE Plus+ system is automatically “scanning” all your channels to identify the correct host channel during a pre-defined timeslot. Depending on your region this may take up to 24 hours, because in some areas data is only available during certain timeslots.

• All other actions like “recording” or “watching” have priority over the “scanning (automatic receiving of data)”. Therefore it is important to leave the Recorder in standby (not “ON”).

• All future downloads will happen automatically.

After the overnight downloading is complete, press GUIDE to confirm that your first data download has been completed. If this has been successful, press Blue (D) (Home) to start using the GUIDE Plus+ system.

• If certain channels are missing, or if you see channels that you don’t receive, press display the “Editor” screen. Then

press

' /

edit, and turn “ON” or “OFF” the channels according to what you receive in your home.

NOTE

• Make sure that the setting for your Host Channel is always “On”, and the correct source (the internal tuner of the Recorder or an external tuner such as CATV top box or Terrestrial Digital tuner) and programme number are displayed on the “Editor” screen (Page 56). Otherwise you will not be able to receive data.

' /

With an External Receiver

If you have a digital terrestrial tuner, a cable box (analogue or digital) or satellite receiver (analogue or digital) in your home, follow the procedure below.

Make sure that you have connected the plug of the G-LINK cable to the Recorder and place the other end in front of the external receiver through the GUIDE Plus+ system (Page 23).

• This will allow you to control the tuner of the receiver through the GUIDE Plus+ system.

NOTE

• The G-LINK transmitter must be connected and placed in front of your external receiver so that its infrared detector can receive a clear signal. To find the infrared detector in your receiver, refer to the manufacturer or operation manual of your external receiver. Alternatively you can use the receivers remote control and move it slowly from left to right in front of the receiver while pressing any channel button. If you can see a red blinking light or the receiver switched to the respective channel you have located the infrared detector. Or you use a flash light and look behind the glass screen of the box. The infrared detector looks like a small red light bulb. For more details, refer to the manufacturer or operation manual of your external receiver.

Timer Recording/The GUIDE Plus+

Press GUIDE to display the GUIDE Plus+ setup menu screen.

Press ' / " to select “Postal Code”. Press SET/ENTER, then press ' / " / \ / | to enter your postal code. Then, using ' / " , select “External Receiver 1” and set the details. Select (1) your reception (terrestrial, cable or satellite), (2) your provider, (3) the brand of your external receiver and (4) the terminal which your external receiver is plugged into (SCART 2).

• The Recorder will now try to communicate with your external receiver via the G-LINK cable. The display message will ask you if the receiver has changed to a specified channel.

If the external tuner changed channels correctly, press ' / " to select “YES” and press SET/ ENTER. Then press GUIDE to exit the setup menu.

• If the external receiver did NOT change channels, or if your receiver brand is not included in the on-screen list, go to Alternate Setup (See page

48).

Tune your external receiver manually to your Host Channel. Leave your external receiver “ON” overnight and leave the Recorder in “STANDBY” overnight to scan and receive the TV listings data.

• See the following table for Host Channels in your country. The table

may be updated from time to time. For updates, see the GUIDE Plus+ website:

• If your external receiver is “OFF” when you try to receive data the

GUIDE Plus+ system cannot receive any data.

• Scanning (automatic receiving of data) will be interrupted by all other

functions, such as “recording” or “watching”.

• All future downloads will happen automatically.

Host Channels by in UK

ITV, Eurosport

ITV is analogue only. Use Eurosport if you are a SKY subscriber and you no longer have a terrestrial aerial available.

NOTE

• Even if you live in a country where there is a Host Channel, if you cannot receive data from any Host Channel, change the setting of your country to “Other.” Scanning of the Host Channel will not be started.

• If the Recorder programme number in the Editor screen and that of the external receiver are unmatched after the first TV listings data download, please change the unmatched programme number on the Editor screen manually to match it with that of the external receiver. Otherwise the Recorder will not tune to the correct programme number for the next TV listings data download.

After the overnight downloading is complete, press GUIDE to confirm that your first data download has been completed.

• If certain channels are missing, or if you see channels that you do not receive, press display the “Editor” screen. Then press edit, and turn “ON” or “OFF” the channels according to what you receive in your home.

Timer Recording/The GUIDE Plus+

System

Alternate Setup

If your external receiver is not in the list or your external receiver could not be controlled properly by the Recorder, please try the following:

1. At Step 3 of page 47, select “None” (at the end of the list) for External Receiver Brand.

2. Press GUIDE to exit the Setup menu.

3. Tune your external receiver to your “Host Channel” (see list of Host Channels in Step

) and leave it “ON” overnight (the Recorder must be on “STANDBY” overnight).

4. After the overnight download has completed, go back into the GUIDE Plus+ setup menu to repeat the installation of your external receiver (the “Postal Code” entry should be the same as you previously entered). If the external receiver is still not in the list or is not controlled properly by the Recorder, please call Customer Support to report the brand and model of your external receiver.

NOTE

• Make sure that your Host Channel is always turned ON and the correct source and programme number is displayed in the “Editor” screen. Otherwise you will not be able to receive data.

• When a timer recording is scheduled during the download time of the TV listings data, the data may not be downloaded successfully. Especially between 3:00 AM and 5:00 AM is the time slot for downloading the data. So, it is recommended that you do not set a timer recording which overlaps with the above time slot.

Exception: Two Different Sources

In some rare exceptions it might be best to connect your equipment to two different sources. For example you might want to use a digital satellite or cable receiver for some channels and an analogue terrestrial aerial for other channels. Depending on your region it might be necessary to identify your “Host Channel” accordingly (see as well Step 4 and Step 5).

Connect your equipment according to the chart in page 23.

• If you only have one wall outlet you can either use a “splitter” or connect your Recorder to the wall outlet and your external receiver to the ANTENNA OUT jack of your Recorder. There is a “loop through” between ANTENNA IN and OUT and therefore delivers the same result as a splitter.

For the setup procedure, we recommend that you first follow the procedure for “Without External Receiver”. (Page 46) If you are not able to receive data you can tune manually to your host channel as described under “With External Receiver”. (Page

46)

NOTE

• If you use two different sources (e.g. an analogue terrestrial aerial and an external receiver) it is possible that the GUIDE Plus+ system is identifying the same channel twice or two different host channels. We recommend that you select the host channel that is available through the internal tuner.

Timer Recording/The GUIDE Plus+

System

The “One-Button-Record” Feature

This is the most convenient feature for Timer Recording that the GUIDE Plus+ System accommodates. The One-Button Record feature is available anytime you can highlight a programme tile. This can be in the Grid, after a search for a certain category or in your recommendations under My TV.

The operation method is the same for both HDD and DVD.

• You can timer record up to 16 programmes scheduled within a month, including VIDEO Plus+ system and manual recording.

• You can consecutively record up to 12 hours to HDD.

Preparation for Timer Recording

• Check that the clock is displaying the correct time.

• If the TIMER indicator on the front of the Recorder is lit, press TIMER ON/OFF to turn off the TIMER indicator and to set the Timer Standby mode to off.

Press GUIDE to display the GUIDE Plus+ screen.

Press ' / " / \ / | to select a programme tile in the grid.

Press Red (A) to set a Timer Recording for the programme. Press TIMER ON/OFF to place the Recorder in Timer Standby mode.

• At the right time, the Recorder will tune to the correct channel and record the selected programme.

NOTE

• During the Timer Standby mode, you cannot edit or add a timer programme. To edit or add a timer programme, cancel Timer Standby mode first.

• If you turn off the Timer Standby mode during timer recording, the timer recording is switched to a normal recording which will not stop at the timer recording end time. To stop the recording, press REC STOP.

• Recording set with the One-Button-Record feature is set with the following default parameters:

Date / Name of the Programme / Channel / Start Time / Duration / Mode (Rec Mode) = SP / Frequency = once / Extra time at the end = none (+0) / Destination = HDD

• The programmes you have designated for recording can be reviewed and edited in the “Schedule” Area.

Operating the power source while TV listings data is being downloaded

• Even when the power is off, during download of TV listings data, the internal state of the power source is on. When you want to use the Recorder while TV listings data is being downloaded, press OPER- ATE to cause the STANDBY indicator of the Recorder to be lit red. (It may take 1-2 minutes for the STANDBY indicator to be lit red.) After the STANDBY indicator is lit red, press OPERATE but once more. (The download of TV listings data will be suspended.)

Dubbing “Copy Once” Enabled Title

• You cannot dub “Copy Once” enabled programme in Video mode even if you use DVD-RW Ver.1.1 CPRM compatible disc or Ver.1.2 CPRM compatible disc.

•“Copy Once” titles that have been recorded on DVD-RW disc cannot be dubbed to HDD. When a title (Play list) which includes both “Copy Once” and “Copy Free” is dubbed by “High Speed Dubbing” to HDD, the dubbing is interrupted when “Copy Once” title emerges. The titles afterwards will not be dubbed.

• When dubbing “Copy Once” enabled programme from HDD to DVD-RW (CPRM compatible) is stopped in the middle, the part that was already dubbed will be erased from HDD. If you restart the dubbing, you can dub the remaining part as a different title but the start point of the latter may not match the end point of the former.

Rate Conversion Dubbing and High Speed Dubbing

Rate Conversion Dubbing

Plays back titles of HDD and dubs to DVD-RW/R or plays back titles of DVD-RW/R and dubs to HDD.

• Picture quality (recording mode) for dubbing can be selected. You can select among 32 levels of recording modes so it is convenient when you want to fit the programmes into one disc.

• You can select among 32 levels of recording mode by using Manual setting but picture quality will not exceed that of the original.

• To do Rate Conversion Dubbing, it takes as long as the original recording time of the source title.

Notes on Rate Conversion Dubbing

•“Dolby Virtual Surround” (page 78) is set to “OFF” when Rate Conversion Dubbing is used.

•“DVD AUDIO OUT LEVEL” (page 112) is set to “NO” when Rate Conversion Dubbing is used.

• The image might look longer vertically when you dub 16:9 image from HDD to DVD-RW/R (Video mode) using Rate Conversion Dubbing. In such a case, see the Operation Manual of the TV and adjust TV setting.

• When dubbing a bilingual broadcast that was recorded with “HI SP DUB SETTING” as “NO” (page 104), the “L CH” and “R CH” audio are heard mixed together. In such a case, it is not possible to switch between “L CH” and “R CH” audio.

• Chapter markers might slightly shift when dubbed using Rate Conversion Dubbing.

• You cannot record 16:9 (wide) and 4:3 (normal) screen size images in one title, in order to perform High Speed Dubbing.

• When the screen size of the title changes during High Speed Dubbing, the Recorder continues to dub in the initial screen size.

High Speed Dubbing

Copies titles recorded on HDD or DVD without degradation in image quality and recording time, as if copying data with PC. There are two options for High Speed Dubbing: Max. 48x and Max. 12x.

Notes on High Speed Dubbing from HDD to DVD (Video mode)

• During High Speed Dubbing, you cannot monitor the programme being dubbed on the TV screen. (You can only watch live broadcast.)

• Do not interrupt the High Speed Dubbing. If you stop in the middle of process, the recorded title might be erased.

• You cannot High Speed Dub a Playlist to a Video format disc.

Notes on High Speed Dubbing from DVD to HDD

• Titles recorded on DVD with a DVD recorder of another manufacturer than Sharp may not be used for High Speed Dubbing. If such a title emerges during the process, the dubbing stops and the remaining titles will not be dubbed.

• High-Speed Dubbing from DVD-R or DVD-RW (Video format) to the HDD is not possible.

Setting High Speed Dubbing Priority

• To perform High Speed Dubbing from HDD to DVD, you should in advance set “HI SP DUB SETTING” as “YES” and record the source title on HDD. This function enables High Speed Dubbing in both VR mode and Video mode.

• If a title is recorded with “HI SP DUB SETTING” set to “NO”, you cannot perform High Speed Dubbing to DVD-

RW in Video mode and to DVD-R.

• In order to perform High Speed Dubbing to DVD-RW in VR format, you do not have to set this as “YES”.

• Cancel High Speed Dubbing Priority when you want to edit frames of titles recorded to HDD using High Speed Dubbing. You can edit the frames after the cancellation.

• Once you cancel the High Speed Dubbing Priority to a title, you cannot set it again for that title.

• When you record a programme with bilingual broadcast with “HI SP DUB SETTING” set to “YES”, either “L CH” or “R CH” audio which is selected in “BILINGUAL SETTING” (page 104) is recorded. You cannot record both L and R channels.

• When recording 16:9 size image in LP, EP or MN1-17 recording modes with “HI SP DUB SETTING” set as “YES”, the image will be recorded as 4:3 (squeezed).

NOTE

• When you select High Speed Dubbing Up To 48x, the dubbing speed goes up to 8x (48x as converted into EP)*1. Therefore, the amount of operating noise increases, but this is not due to a malfunction. When you select High Speed Dubbing Up To 12x, the dubbing speed goes up to 2x (12x as converted into EP).

*1When using an 8x disc.

• When you feel that the operating noise is a nuisance (e.g, late at night), select High-speed dubbing (Up To 12x) or Rate Conversion Dubbing.

• The time required for High Speed Dubbing varies according to the recording mode of title (programme) to dub or type of disc you use.

• When a new (unused) 2x or 4x compatible DVD-RW disc is initialised with another DVD recorder, dubbing may be performed at 1x speed even when High Speed Dubbing is selected.

• If you perform High Speed Dubbing of a “Copy Once” enabled programme, dubbing will not be done at 2x- or 4x-speed even if you use a 2x- or 4x- compatible disc.

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 favourite videos by gathering your favourite 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.

ORIGINAL

• A recorded video (title) is called an ORIGINAL as opposed to the Play List below. 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.

• Play Lists cannot be created for discs recorded in Video mode.

• Play Lists cannot be created for recordings on DVD-R.

• DVD-RWs with Disc Protection set cannot be edited.

Note the following when editing titles.

• When you perform editing like adding a chapter marker 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.

Before recording to DVD-RW, initialise the disc in VR mode or Video mode. You can also initialise the HDD. Initialise the HDD only after dubbing important recordings onto DVD-RW/R disc(s).

DVD INITIALISE (VR)

• When recording with a DVD-RW in VR mode, initialise in VR mode before you start recording. (When you initialise, all of the recorded content of the disc is erased. Before initialising, check the content of the disc so that you do not erase any content you need.)

• You cannot initialise if “DISC PROTECT” is set to “PROTECT”. (page 94)

DVD INITIALISE (VIDEO)

• When recording with a DVD-RW disc in Video mode, initialise in Video mode before you start recording. (When you initialise, all of the recorded content of the disc is erased. Before initialising, check the content of the disc so that you do not erase any content you need.)

• You cannot initialise a DVD-R disc.

INITIALISE HARD DISC

• If an HDD error message is displayed, or if you wish to return the HDD to the state it was in when the Recorder was purchased, initialise the HDD. All recorded video will be erased. (If you use the “ERASE ALL TITLES” function to erase the titles, protected titles will remain, but if you use the HDD initialising function, all titles will be erased.) Dub any important recordings to DVD-RW/R disc(s) before initialising the HDD.

NOTE

• After “INITIALISE HARD DISC” is completed, the power goes off automatically.

Finalisation

Finalisation is done so that a recorded DVD-RW/R disc can be played back with other recorders.

DVD FINALISE

• Set this when you want to playback a VR mode or Video mode disc using another recorder capable of playback. If you finalise a recording on DVD-R disc, you will not be able to record any more on the disc. (If you undo finalisation on DVD-RW, you will be able to record on it again. On the other hand, you can not undo finalisation on DVD-R discs.)

• Finalisation can take anywhere from a few minutes to one hour. During finalisation, all types of operation are disabled (including turning off power and removing the disc).

• Do not unplug the power cord during finalisation. Doing so may make the disc unusable.

UNDO DVD FINALISE

• This resets a finalised DVD-RW disc so you can record on it again.
