Important Safeguards

For your own safety read following instructions carefully before attempting to connect this recorder to the mains. Mains Supply: 230V ~ 50Hz - AC only This unit is designed to operate on a 230V~50Hz supply only. Connecting it to other power sources may damage it. Ensure that the supply corresponds to the information on the rating label at the rear of the recorder. This component system may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If it is necessary to change the fuse in a non-rewireable plug the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover becomes lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a replacement, available from the manufacturer, is obtained. It is important that the colour of the replacement fuse cover corresponds with the colour marking on the base of the plug. If the plug needs to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or becomes damaged, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted following the wiring instructions below. The plug must then be disposed of safely, as insertion into a 13A socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard.

Handling Precautions

n Hold the disc by the edges so the surface will not be soiled with fi ngerprints. (A)

Fingerprints, dirt and scratches can cause skipping and distortion.

n Do not write on the label side with a ball-point pen or other writing utensils. n Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzine, thinner, static electricity prevention liquids

If the surface is soiled (C)

Wipe gently with a soft, damp (water only) cloth. When wiping discs, always move the cloth from the center hole toward the outer edge. (If you wipe the discs using a circular motion, circular scratches are likely to occur, which will cause noise.) If the disc is brought from a cold to a warm environment, moisture may form on the disc Wipe this moisture off with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth before using the disc.

Improper disc storage

You can damage discs if you store them in the following places:

n Areas exposed to direct sunlight n Humid or dusty areas n Areas directly exposed to a heat outlet or heating appliance

Playable disc format

n DVD, DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD-R, VCD, SVCD, CD-DA, Mixed CD-DA,

4-3 Definition of Terms

Angle

Recorded onto some DVD discs are scenes which have been simultaneously shot from a number of different angles (the same scene is shot from the front, from the left side, from the right side, etc.). With such discs, the ANGLE button can be used to view the scene from different angles.

Chapter Number

These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. A title is subdivided into many sections, each of which is numbered, and specificparts of video presentations can be searched quickly using these numbers.

DVD

These refer to a high-density optical disc on which high-quality pictures and sound have been recorded by means of digital signals. Incorporating a new video compression technology (MPEG II) and high-density recording technology, DVD enables aesthetically pleasing full-motion video to be recorded over long periods of time (for instance, a whole movie can be recorded).

DVD has a structure consisting of two 0.6 mm thin discs which are adhered to each other. Since the thinner the disc, the higher the density at which the information can be recorded, a DVD disc has a greater capacity than a single 1.2 mm thick disc. Since the two thin discs are adhered to each other, there is the potential to achieve double-sided play sometime in the future for even longer duration play.

DVD+/-R

This means DVD+Recordable. These Discs can be recorded and finalized only once.

DVD+/-RW

This means DVD+ReWritable. These Discs can be recorded on repeatedly.

Subtitles

These are the printed lines appearing at the bottom of the screen which translate or transcribe the dialogue. They are recorded on DVD discs.

Time Digit

This indicates the play time which has elapsed from the start of a disc or a title. It can be used to find a specific scene quickly. (It may not work with some discs.)

Title Number

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.

Track Number

These numbers are assigned to the tracks which are recorded on audio CDs. They enable specific tracks to be located quickly.

Your product is designed and manufactured with high quality materials and components,which can be recycled and reused.
