Introduction
Precautions
Notes on handling
Never disconnect the power cord from a wall outlet
while the recorder is not in standby mode, unless it is
in an emergency. Doing so may cause malfunction.
When shipping the recorder, the original shipping
carton and packing materials come in handy. For
maximum protection, repack the unit as it was
originally packed at the factory.
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near
the recorder. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in
contact with the recorder for a long time. They will
leave marks on the finish.
The top and rear panels of the recorder may become
warm after a long period of use. This is not a
malfunction.
When not in use
For usual absence
Be sure to remove the disc from the recorder and turn
off the power.
Prolonged absence
Unplug the recorder from a wall outlet.
Notes on locating
Place the recorder on a level surface. Do not use it on
a shaky or unstable surface such as a wobbly table or
inclined stand. The loaded disc may dislodge from its
proper position and cause damage to the recorder.
Before placing the recorder, make sure that the
surface can stand the weight of the recorder. For
safety, avoid placing the recorder in a high location, as
an accidental fall of the recorder may cause personal
injury.
When you place this recorder near a TV, radio, or
VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the
sound may be distorted depending on the condition
and location of said equipment. In such an event,
place the recorder as far away much as possible from
the TV, radio, or VCR.
Do not install this product in an area where it will be
exposed to large amounts of oily smoke, steam or
dust, as such exposure could result in fire or electric
shock. Cigarette smoke, dust etc. can cause the
product to malfunction.
Notes on cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth (containing a mild
detergent) to wipe the unit. Ensure the unit is
unplugged before you do this. Use a dry cloth to wipe
it dry.
Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner or
benzine, as they may damage the surface of the
recorder.
If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit,
follow that product’s instructions.
To obtain a clear picture
The recorder is a high technology, precision device. If the
optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn
down, the picture quality deteriorates. To obtain a clear
picture, we recommend regular inspection and
maintenance (cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000
hours of use depending on the operating environment.
For details, contact your nearest dealer.
Notes on antennas
Image and sound quality depend very much on signal
reception.
Reception may be poor in weak signal areas. In this
event, consult your dealer, or purchase a commercially
available antenna booster. Refer to the booster’s
instruction manual for installation details.

Notes on summer time on this recorder
• The recording system of this recorder always conforms to its own actual clock even at the moment it gains or loses 1 hour of
shift to/from summer time. Therefore, there may be some inconsistency in the display’s digits or actual operations on that
occasion. For example, on the first Sunday in April, the actual recording length of a programmed recording from 1:00 a.m. to
4:00 a.m. will be 2 hours, not 3. Be sure to give a careful consideration to your setting or reading on-screen if a recording
period includes the moment of time shift.
• This recorder’s clock cannot lose 1 hour on the last Sunday in October even if you set “Auto” or “Use” at step 5, unless it
once gained 1 hour in April.

Notes
• If you set “Summer time (Daylight-Saving time)” to “Auto” and “Time zone” to “Manual”, a small time discrepancy may occur
around the hours of DST start/end.
• Even if “Time & Date setting” is set to “Auto,” a time discrepancy within 1 second should be inevitable.
• When setting both “Time & Date setting” and “Time zone” to “Auto”, you can confirm the set “Time zone” in the “Time zone”
display of the “Manual” screen in “Time & Date setting”. (The “Time zone” display of the “Manual” screen in “Time & Date
setting” will remain in “Auto”.)
• In the case of a programmed recording with the DST change-over point to Daylight-saving time, if the continuous recording
time exceeds the limit due to a time discrepancy caused by Daylight-saving time during recording, the recording stops on
that point.
