Features
A new timer recording system:
1
“Easy Recording Guide”
• This feature makes timer recording 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.
DVD-RW/R recording/playback
2
with outstanding compatibility
• This Recorder is compatible with digital recording
on rewritable DVD-RW discs and one-time recordable DVD-R discs. It has two recording formats: “VR
(Video Recording) mode” which has a wealth of
editing functions, and “Video mode” which can be
played back with existing DVD players. This lets you
enjoy recording to suit your purpose.
High picture quality design
3
1Progressive scanning playback
High-quality, high-density video with no jagged
contours and no flicker.
2VBR (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).
Comprehensive editing functions
4
(Only titles recorded 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.
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 and
erase 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.
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.
4
*
Edit undo can only be used once. It only works when
“UNDO” is assigned to a colored button (green) displayed
on the screen.

Simple operation and user-friendly
5
design using a new remote control
1START MENU
Press START MENU button on the remote control,
and display the list of main functions on the screen.
After that, you can operate by using the Cursor
buttons and SET/ENTER button on the remote
control, so this Recorder can be used easily even
by a person who is unfamiliar with operation.
2Colored buttons
The remote control has colored buttons with four
different colors. Functions are displayed in four
different colors on the screen, and the Recorder
can be operated by directly designating these
functions.
3Luminous buttons
Luminous buttons are used for key control buttons
on the remote control so they are easy to see in the
dark.
MP3 file playback
6
• This Recorder allows you to playback MP3 files
recorded on CD-RW/R.
VCR Plus+*5 System
7
• The VCR Plus+ System allows you to program your
Recorder for timer recording simply by inputting the
PlusCode Programming number. The PlusCode
numbers are listed in most newspapers, television
guides, and local CATV listings. Simply by inputting
this PlusCode number, you can program your
Recorder for timer recording, eliminating the need
to input program start time, stop time, channel, date
and other information which is necessary for
ordinary timer programming.

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 abound 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.
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 Sharp
Authorized Service Center.
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.
• 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.
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.
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
• Remove the disc before wrapping the Recorder. In case
you will not be using the Recorder for a while, remove the
disc, and turn off the power.
When using the Recorder during
rain or snow
• If you use the Recorder during rain or snow, be careful
not to allow it to get wet.
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,
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. (See page 16.)
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.

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.
benzene
OIL
thinner
• 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 discoloration 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 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.
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).
• 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-SR3U DVD
Recorder.
• 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.
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.

About MP3 file format
MP3 files are audio data compressed in MPEG1 Audio
layer 3 file format. “MP3 files” have “.mp3” as extensions.
(Some files that have “.mp3” extensions or files that have
not been recorded in MP3 format will produce noise or
cannot be played.)
ÆÆ
Æ Playing MP3 discs
ÆÆ
• Some MP3 files are not played in the order they were
recorded.
• The maximum number of layers which can be
recognized, including files and folders, is 8.
• The multi-session discs cannot be played.
• It is recommended to record data at a lower speed as
data recorded at fast speed can produce noise and
may not be able to be played.
• The more folders there are, the longer the reading
time.
• Depending on the folder tree, reading MP3 files can
take time.
• Folder or track (file) names are limited to 8 characters.
Folder or track (file) names that go over 8 characters
will be abbreviated. (Certain letters or symbols in
folder names or title name may not be displayed.)
• The playing time may not be correctly displayed
during MP3 file playback.

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.
• 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 36 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 93)
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
ÆÆ
Æ VR mode
ÆÆ
• Additional recordings can be made as long as there is
available space on the disc. (Additional recordings
can also be made after the disc is finalized.)
• Erasing unnecessary recordings lets you increase the
remaining time on the disc. (The disc can also be
erased after it has been finalized.)
• When a Play List (see page 68) is created, disc space
will not increase even if portions of titles or titles of
Play List are erased.
ÆÆ
Æ Video mode
ÆÆ
• Additional recordings can be made with this Recorder
provided there is available space on the disc until the
disc is finalized.
• In case you record on a DVD-RW disc, recordable
time will increase if you erase the last recorded title
unless you finalize the DVD-RW disc.
• In case you record on a DVD-R disc, recordable time
will not increase even if you erase titles (see page 67).
(The erase function only hides the title, it does not
actually erase it. It does not actually delete the
recorded contents.)

this Recorder.
Example:
• Images not output at proper brightness
• Incorrect output of picture size and other data
Connect such equipment directly to your TV
without going through this Recorder.
ÆÆ
Æ In the case a copy guard signal is contained in a

Time Display for Recording and
Playback (Video mode only)
• With this Recorder, the displayed record/playback time is
about 0.1% shorter than the actual recording time. In
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 K 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 84 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 84).
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 84).
• 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 84 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 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 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-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 76).
• 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 65).
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.

• Do not press POWER on the Recorder or remote control.
The EZ Set Up function automatically sets the tuner channels and clock when the
antenna cable is connected to the rear of the Recorder and the power plug is
then connected to an AC outlet.
Important!
When using a cable box:
• See “CATV or Satellite Receiver Connections” on pages 23 and 24.
• Leave power on the cable box turned on and select a channel that carries EDS signals.
1
Make sure that the antenna cable is connected. For connection configuration, refer to “Basic
Connection” on page 21.
2
Connect the power plug of the Recorder to an AC outlet.
3
The tuner channels and clock will automatically be set.
• This Recorder can monitor and use time-signals (EDS signals), which are provided by some TV stations, to automatically adjust the clock. This Recorder automatically searches EDS signals, but if you are in a hurry to use timer
recording or know the channel of the EDS signal carrier in your area, follow the procedure in “Auto Clock Setting”
(page 29) or “Manual Clock Setting” (page 30).
During Auto Channel Setting During Auto Clock Setting EZ Set Up complete
POWER
• Channel number is increasing.
NOTE
• If power is supplied to the Recorder before the cable is connected, EZ Set Up will not be able to preset the channels into
memory. If this occurs, press RESET inside the front door of the Recorder (see page 17). The EZ Set Up function will work
again.
• If the power is turned on during EZ Set Up, Auto Channel Setting will be interrupted and the tuner channels will not be
preset.
• Auto Clock Setting may take several minutes.
• If Auto Clock Setting is not completed within 30 minutes, there may be no channels with EDS signals. In this case, set the
clock manually. (See “Manual Clock Setting” on page 30.)
• If the antenna signal is weak, the Auto Clock Setting function may not operate.
• During initial channel setting, the channels are set into the AIR channel setting. To watch CATV channels, select “CATV” on
the “CHANNEL PRESET” screen. (See “Channel Setting” on page 31.)

shown on pages 26 and 27. From the second time on, the
OSD LANGUAGE Select screen will not appear after EZ
Set Up.
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 Setup will
be performed automatically.

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

change. Some TV listings will indicate the
time change in the same manner as is
programmed in this Recorder while others
do not show the time change until the next
morning. In that case, when programming
a timer recording, use the “CLOCK

About Editing
Content that can be edited and editing operations vary
according to the recording mode.
Recordings 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.
• If title protection is set, the only editing which can be done
is MOVE TITLE.
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.

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-RW/R in Video
mode
The following content can be edited.
• Input (change) title name (page 62)
• Erase title (page 67)
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
84). 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.
• Creating from Original Titles (page 68).
• Creating from Part of an Original (page 68).
Select and edit the created play list.
• Erasing All Titles (page 67).
• Erasing by Selecting a Title (or Chapter) (page 67).
• Adding a Scene from an Original to a Play List (ADD

NOTE
Editing cannot be done in the following cases.
• Play Lists cannot be created for discs recorded in Video
mode.

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

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”.

Linear PCM is a signal recording format used for Audio CDs.
The sound on Audio CDs is recorded at 44.1 kHz with 16 bits. (On DVD discs, sound is
recorded at between 48 kHz with 16 bits and 96 kHz with 24 bits.)
One type of audio compression that uses MPEG1. This format compresses sound to
about 1/10, without impairing the original sound quality.
This is a feature of DVD video discs. In some discs, the same picture is shot from
different angles, and these are stored in a single disc so you can enjoy playback from
different angles. (This function can be enjoyed if the disc is recorded with multiple
angles.)
This is a feature of DVD video discs. This function makes it possible to record multiple
different audio tracks for the same video, so you can enhance your enjoyment by
switching audio. (You can enjoy this function with discs recorded with multiple audio

These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. When a disc contains two or more movies,
these movies are numbered as title 1, title 2, etc.
These numbers are assigned to the tracks which are recorded on video CDs and Audio
CDs. They enable specific tracks to be located quickly.
VBR is the abbreviation for Variable Bit Rate control. This feature performs control by
varying the bit rate (the amount of code transferred in a fixed period of time) by assigning a larger amount of code to complex video images such as sections containing rapid
movement or sections containing sudden changes in color, and assigning a smaller
amount of code in the opposite cases.
This is a recording format for making DVD -RW/R discs playable with other commercially available DVD players. (We do not guarantee that playback will be possible with
