Disc Handling
• Handle the discs so that fingerprints and dust do not
adhere to the surfaces of the discs.
• Always store the disc in its protective case when it is
not used.
If the remote control does not work properly, you can test if
the remote control sends out the infrared signal with AM
radio or a digital camera (including built-in camera of cellular
phone). It will help to define the cause of malfunction.
• With an AM radio:
Tune an AM radio to a station with no
broadcasting. Press a button on remote
control toward the radio. Sound will be
fluttering when you press any key and the
radio receives the signal. This means the
remote control is working.
• With a digital camera (including built-in camera of
cellular phone):
Direct a digital camera to remote control,
press and hold a button on remote control. If
infrared light appears through digital camera,
the remote control is working.

Dolby Digital Recording
“Dolby® Digital Recording enables consumers to record
high-quality video with stereo sound on recordable DVD
discs. The technology, when utilized instead of PCM
recording, also saves recordable disc space, allowing for
higher video resolution or extended recording time on
each DVD. DVDs created using Dolby Digital Recording
will play back on all DVD-video players.”
Note: This is true when the players are compatible with
actual recordable DVD discs.
This unit not only plays back DVD and CD but also offers features for you to record on DVD and edit them after that.
The following features are offered with this unit.
Recording
This unit is compatible with recording on DVD-RW/+RW which
are recordable repeatedly and DVD-R, DVD+R which accept
the additional recordings until the disc becomes full but not
overwritable. You can choose either one for your convenience.
Up to 12 program recording:
You can program the unit to record up to 12 programs,
within a month in advance. Daily or weekly program recordings are also available.
One-touch timer recording (OTR):
You can easily set a recording time as you prefer. Every time
[REC I] is pressed during recording, the recording time will
be increased by 30 minutes up to 8 hours. The recording automatically stops when the recording time you set is reached.
DV dubbing:
This function helps you to easily dub the contents of the
DVC (digital video camcorder) to DVD.
Automatic chapter mark setting:
Chapter marks will be put on recordings as you set before
attempting to record.
Automatic title menu making:
The unit creates title menu automatically when finalizing discs.
Automatic playlist making:
The unit creates a playlist automatically after recording VR
mode DVD-RW.

Supplied cables used in this connection are as follows:
• RF coaxial cable x 1
• RCA audio cable (L/R) x 1
• RCA video cable x 1
Please purchase the rest of the necessary cables at your
local store.
* Once connections are completed, turn on the TV and
initial setting begins.
Channel scanning is necessary for the unit to memorize
all available channels in your area.
(Refer to “INITIAL SETTING” on page 25.)
Note
• For your safety and to avoid damage to the device, please unplug the RF coaxial cable from the ANTENNA IN jack
before moving the unit.
• If you use an antenna to receive analog TV, it should also work for DTV reception. Outdoor or attic antennas will be
more effective than set-top versions.
• RF output is for tuner pass through only. DVD playback through the RF is not possible.
If your TV has antenna in jack only, it is still possible to connect this unit to your TV by using a stereo audio/video RF
modulator. In this case, follow the instructions below.
1) Disconnect the power cords of the devices from the AC outlet.
2) Make the connection as illustrated below.
3) Set your RF modulator’s channel 3/4 switch to either 3 or 4, whichever the TV channel is least used in your area.
If your RF modulator has a Modulator/Antenna switch, set it according to the manual supplied with the RF
modulator.
4) Plug in the power cords of the devices to the AC outlet.
5) Turn on your TV and choose the same channel as you set the RF modulator’s channel 3/4 switch.
For more details, follow the manual supplied with the RF modulator.

For more information, please contact your cable/satellite provider.
• Instead of using VIDEO OUT jack of this unit, you can also use S-VIDEO OUT jack, COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jack, or
HDMI OUT jack (no AUDIO OUT jack connection required) for connecting to your TV.
With this setup:
• You can record any unscrambled channel by selecting the channel on the cable/satellite box. Be sure that the
cable/satellite box is turned on.
• You cannot record one channel while watching another channel.
Note to CATV system installer
• This reminder is provided to call the cable TV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical
Code, which provides guidelines for proper grounding - in particular, specifying that the cable ground shall be
connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as possible.
Make one of the following connections, depending on the capabilities of your display device.

After you have completed the connections
• Switch the input selector on your TV to an appropriate external input channel. Press a button on the TV’s original
remote control that selects an external input channel until the DVD recorder’s opening picture appears. Check your
TV owner’s manual for details.
Note
• Connect this unit directly to the TV. If the RCA audio/video cables are connected to a VCR, pictures may be
distorted due to the copy protection system.
• Progressive signal does not output from the VIDEO OUT or S-VIDEO OUT jack.
To set progressive scan mode, refer to page 103
• This unit is compatible with the progressive scan system. The feature provides you the higher quality images than the
traditional output system. To utilize this feature, you must set “Progressive” to “ON”.
A simple 1-cable connection with a device having an HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) connector allows
digital transfer of both digital video signals and multi-channel audio signals.

When connecting with an HDMI cable, the audio signal will be output as the digital audio signal simultaneously, so
you do not need the analog audio connection described on page 21.

“Stream” in “Dolby Digital” setting (Refer to page 98).
Copyright protection system
To play back the digital video images of a DVD via an HDMI connection, it is necessary that both the player and the
display device (or an AV amplifier) support a copyright protection system called HDCP (high-bandwidth digital
content protection system). HDCP is copy protection technology that comprises data encryption and authentication
of the connected AV device. This unit supports HDCP. Please read the operating instructions of your display device
(or AV amplifier) for more information.

Note
• Because HDMI is an evolving technology, it is possible that some devices with an HDMI input may not operate
properly with this unit.
• When using an HDCP-incompatible display device, the image will not be viewed properly.
• Among the devices that support HDMI, some devices can control other devices via the HDMI connector; however,
this unit cannot be controlled by another device via the HDMI connector.
• The audio signals from the HDMI connector (including the sampling frequency, the number of channels and bit
length) maybe limited by the device that is connected.
• Among the monitors that support HDMI, some do not support audio output (for example, projectors). In
connections with device such as this unit, audio signals are not output from the HDMI output connector.
• When this unit’s HDMI connector is connected to a DVI-D compatible monitor (HDCP compatible) with an HDMIDVI converter cable, the signals are output in digital RGB.
• If the connected equipment is not compatible with HDMI BITSTREAM, DTS sound will not be output.
• When the power failure occurs, or when you unplug the unit, some problems in the HDMI setting might occur.
Please check and set the HDMI setting again.
• When you change the connections, all devices should be turned off.
• Refer to the owner’s manual accompanying external devices for more information.
