Precautions

On safety

• Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it further.

• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for an extended period of time.

• To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

On operation and storage location

Avoid operation or storage in any of the following places.

• Location subject to extremes of temperature (operating temperature range 5°C to 40°C (41°F to 104°F))

• Location subject to direct sunlight for long periods, or close to heating appliances.

• Damp or dusty places

• Location subject to severe vibrations

• Location near equipment generating electromagnetic emissions

• Location near transmitting stations generating strong radio waves

• Location exposed to dripping or splashing. Do not put objects filled with liquid, such as vases, on the unit. Splashing the unit with liquid may cause a malfunction.

When the disc is being loaded in the unit

If you give a violent shock to the unit or move it with a disc loaded because the unit is recording or playing back, the disc may be damaged. Be sure to remove a disc before moving the unit.

On cleaning

If the casing or panel is dirty, wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth. In the event of extreme dirt, use a cloth steeped in a neutral detergent to remove the dirt, then wipe with a dry cloth. Applying alcohol, thinner, insecticides, or other volatile solvents may result in deforming the casing or damaging the finish.

On repacking and shipping

Save the original shipping carton and packing material; they will come in handy if you ever have to ship your unit. For maximum protection, repack your unit as it was originally packed at the factory, and take care not to impact violent shocks in transit.

Operate the unit in a horizontal position

This unit is designed to be operated in a horizontal position. Do not operate it on its side, or tilted through an excessive angel.

Avoid violent impacts

Dropping the unit, or otherwise imparting a violent shock to it, is likely to cause it to malfunction.

Do not obstruct ventilation openings

To prevent the unit from overheating, do not obstruct ventilating openings, by for example wrapping the unit in a cloth while it is in operation.

Condensation

If you move the unit from a very cold place to a warm place, or use it in a damp location, condensation may form on the optical pickup. Then, if the unit is operated in this state, the unit does not record or play correctly. When the power is turned on, the following message appears, wait until it disappears before loading a disc. On the monitor window: MOISTURE HAS BEEN DETECTED.

Overview

• Title list You can display the list of titles recorded on the disc, and using this list, you can search for the desired title from which you can start playback on the list.

Features

The DVO-1000MD is a DVD Recorder designed for use with video equipment such as external equipment. The DVO-1000MD compresses video signals sent from the external equipment with an MPEG-2 format and audio signals with Dolby Digital format (2CH), and records video and audio signals on a DVD+RW disc. The following are the principal features of the unit.

Rewritable DVD+RW recording media

Since rewritable DVD+RW disc is used as a removable disc, the disc is automatically finalized and discs recorded with this unit can be played on other DVD+RW players. Also, the unit searches for the first blank space automatically and starts recording from that point. Thus, it is not necessary to cue up and you can start recording right after you insert the disc.

1) is a trademark.

High-quality and long recording

The unit employs VBR (Variable Bit Rate) recording which varies the compressed rate of MPEG2 dynamically according to the images recorded, thereby high-quality recording relative to recording time can be realized. Also, you can select picture quality from among three recording modes: HQ (about 60 minutes: CBR (Constant Bit Rate)), SP (about 120 minutes: VBR) and LP (about 180 minutes: VBR).

Recording indexes

You can mark indexes during recording or playback. This allows you to search for the desired points instantly during playback, and also to play a segment specified by two points repeatedly.

High-quality audio recording

The Dolby Digital 1) recording format allows you to record high-quality audio sound simultaneously with the video signals.
