•Install the unit on a solid, level surface and do not
place heavy objects on top.
•The unit is not designed for use in rooms ex-
posed to high temperatures or air humidity (e.g.
bathrooms) or excessive quantities of accumulated dust
•Operating temperature and air humidity: 5 °C to
35 °C, max. 85 % rel. humidity
Make sure that
•the unit is always ventilated sufficiently (do not
place the unit in enclosed shelving units, on thick
carpets, beds or anywhere where the ventilation
slits are covered and always leave a minimum of
10 cm space around the unit);
•direct heat sources (such as radiators) do not af-
fect the unit;
•direct sunlight and strong artificial light does not
shine on the unit;
•the unit is not located in the direct vicinity of mag-
netic fields (such as speakers);
•sources of naked flames (such as burning can-
dles) are not placed on or next to the unit;
•contact with splash and dripping water and ag-
gressive fluids is avoided and the unit is not operated next to water. Under no circumstances
should the unit be immersed underwater (do not
place objects filled with liquid such as vases or
drinks on or near the unit);
• foreign objects cannot enter the unit;
• the unit is not exposed to sharp fluctuations in
temperature, otherwise condensation may form
and cause short circuiting;
•the unit is not exposed to excessive shaking and
vibrations;
Power supply
•The on/off switch on the unit does not isolate the
unit completely from the mains power supply.
•The unit continues to consume electricity in
standby mode. Pull the plug from the mains socket to disconnect the unit completely from the
mains power supply. Position the unit in such a
way as to guarantee direct, unobstructed access
to the mains socket so that the plug can be disconnected immediately in an emergency. If you
do not intend to use the unit for longer periods
such as during a holiday, always disconnect the
plug from the mains socket to avoid any potential
fire hazards. Please disconnect the unit from the
mains power supply if there is a risk of lightning
striking during a storm.
•Do not insert batteries with the terminals re-
versed, do not recharge the batteries supplied
with the unit and never throw batteries into an
open fire! Do not use different types of battery
(old and new, alkaline and carbon, etc.) simultaneously. Remove the batteries if you do not intend to use the unit for longer periods. Incorrect
use may cause the batteries to explode or leak!
•Make a conscious effort to protect the environ-
ment! Used batteries should be disposed of separately from the household waste! Deposit them at
a collection point for used batteries or special
waste.
Cables
•Always pull cables by the plug and not by the ca-
ble itself.
•Do not touch the mains cable with wet hands as
you may short circuit the unit or receive an electric shock.
•Do not place the unit, items of furniture or other
heavy objects on cables and make sure that the
cables are not kinked, in particular next to the
plug and connecting sockets. Never tie knots in
cables and do not tie the ends of cables together.
Lay all cables so that people cannot tread on or
trip over them.
•A damaged mains cable poses a risk of fire or e-
lectric shock. Check the mains cable from time to
time. Do not use adapter plugs or extension cables
that do not correspond to applicable safety standards and do not tamper with power or mains cables!

Information on DVD recordings
Note:
•This recorder cannot record data onto CD-
R or CD-RW discs.
•We cannot assume any liability for re-
cording errors caused by power failures,
faulty discs or damage to the recorder.
•Fingerprints and minor scratches on the
disc can affect playback and the recording
quality . Handle your discs with care.
Recording onto the hard disk
The procedure for recording onto the internal hard
disk (HDD) is the same as the procedure for recording
onto DVD-RW discs. Options such as recording quality and manual mode are available. Recordings can
be made, deleted and overwritten as often as required. The hard disk has sufficient capacity to store
many hours of high-quality video recordings. Recordings are managed in the title list.
Adding chapter markers
You can set chapter markers at any point within a title
while a recording is in progress.
To start a new chapter, press the CH MARK button at
the desired point during the recording. A chapter marker symbol appears on the screen.
Note:
Chapter markers are inserted automatically at
regular intervals. You can change the frequency of these intervals in the [Recording],
[Chapter Mark] menus.
Information on recordings
•The recording time displayed is not exact be-
cause the recorder uses a video compression
technique with variable bit rates, which means
that the exact recording time depends on the material that is recorded.
•When a TV program is recorded, the recording
time may be shorter if reception is poor or the picture breaks up.
•If you are only recording freeze frames or audio,
the recording time may be shorter.
•The displayed recording time and the remaining
time do not always add up exactly to the number
of minutes available on the disc.
•The available recording time may be less if the
disc is processed more intensively.
•If you are using a DVD-R or DVD+R disc, you can
continue recording until the disc is full or finalised.
Check the remaining recording time on the disc
before starting a recording.
•Select the option [Erase Title] in the title list to e-
rase the title. The title is not deleted from the disc
and the available recording time does not increase.
•Only recordings on DVD+RW discs can be over-
written.
•With DVD+R/RW discs, this recorder creates new
menus to update the new title or edit the title before the disc is ejected or the unit switched off. A
disc must therefore be removed from the recorder
after the DVD operating mode is selected.
