Make your contribution to the environment!!!

• Exhausted batteries do not belong in the dustbin.

• You can dispose of them at a collection point for exhausted batteries or special waste.

• Contact your council for details.

Connection to Power

Before Switching on make sure that the voltage of your electricity supply is the same as that indicated on the rating plate.

Mains Cord

This appliance may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If it is necessary to change the fuse in a nonrewireable plug the fuse cover must be refitted. Do not use the plug if the fuse cover is lost or damaged. If a replacement fuse cover cannot be found, the plug must be changed with another carrying the same value fuse. It is important that the colour of the replacement fuse cover corresponds with the rating marking on the base of the plug. If the plug has 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 removed must be disposed of safely as insertion into a 13A socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard. For your own safety read the following instructions carefully before attempting to connect this unit to mains. The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

BLUE=NEUTRAL, BROWN=LIVE

Important

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red. No connection is to be made to the earth terminal of the plug. If a 13 Amp (BS 1363) Plug is used, a 5 Amp Fuse must be fitted, or if any other type of Plug is used a 3 or 5 Amp Fuse must be fitted, either in the Plug or Adaptor, or on the Distribution Board.

Mains Supply: 220 - 240 V~ 50 Hz - AC only Do not make any connection to the larger pin marked with the

letter “E” or by the symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.

Installation Location

For safety and optimum performance of this unit:

• Install the unit in a horizontal and stable position.

• Keep the unit away from electronic equipment such as an amplifier, TV, etc. to prevent warping,damage, fire and malfunction.

• Do not place anything directly on top of the unit.

• Shield the unit from direct sunlight and keep away from sources of intense heat. Avoid dusty or humid locations. Avoid locations with insufficient ventilation for suitable heat dissipation. Do not block the ventilation holes on the sides of the unit. Avoid locations subject to strong vibration or strong magnetic fields.

Avoid the Hazards of Electrical Shock and Fire

• Do not handle the mains cable with wet hands.

• Do not pull on the mains cable to disconnect it from the AC outlet. Grasp it by the plug.

• If, by accident, water is spilled on the unit, unplug the mains cable immediately and take the unit to an authorised service centre for servicing.

Basic Setup /

TV View Operation

Connecting to a TV

Connect the unit to a TV after considering the capabilities of your existing equipment.

Connect the antenna or cable to the ANTENNA IN jack of this unit. Connect the ANTENNA OUT jack of this unit to the Aerial jack of your TV.

Connect AV1 (TV) Scart socket of this unit to the Scart socket of your TV.

Note

• If your TV does not have a Scart socket, use a Scart/RCA cable to connect.

• Connect this unit directly to the TV. If the AV cables are connected to a VCR, pictures may be distorted due to the copy protection system.

• Analogue teletext can only be output in VCR mode through AV1 (TV) out. Use TV remote control to decode the analogue teletext.

• When changing the “Video Out” setting (“SCART (RGB)”, “Component (Interlace)” or “Component (Progressive)”), connect to the corresponding jack on the TV. If the setting is changed, for example, to “Component (Interlace)” or “Component (Progressive)” while the scart cable is connected to the TV, a distorted video signal may be output.

If your TV has component video input jacks, use a component video cable (to connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks) and an audio cable (to connect the AUDIO OUT (L\R) jacks). When using this type of connection, “Video Out” setting should be set to “Component (Progressive)” or “Component (Interlace)”. Refer to “Video Out” on page 67.

• Component connection provides the better quality picture.

Connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks of this unit to the component video input jacks of your TV. Connect the AUDIO OUT (L\R) jacks of this unit to the analogue audio input jacks of your TV.

• After you have made the connections, set the “Video Out” setting. (See page 67.)

Selecting Progressive Scan (576p/480p or Interlaced 576i/480i) Playback

• If your TV is compatible with progressive scanning (576p/ 480p), connect the TV to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks of this unit and set “Video Out” setting to “Component (Progressive)” in “Setup” menu. (See page 67.) Next, set your TV to the progressive scan mode.

• If your TV is not compatible with progressive scan, set “Video Out” setting to “Component (Interlace)”.

• Use a commercially available adaptor if the video input jacks of your TVs or monitors are the BNC type.

• Only component and HDMI connections are compatible with the Progressive Scan.

[HDMI CONNECTION]

• HDMI outputs the video / audio signals without converting to analogue signals.

• No audio connections is required.

• Use the HDMI cable (commercially available) for connection.

• Connect the HDMI output jack of this unit to the HDMI input jack of TV.

Selecting HDMI video resolution

Press [HDMI] to select the HDMI video resolution. The video resolution changes as follows every time [HDMI] is pressed. 576p (PAL) / 480p (NTSC) J 720p J 1080i J 1080p (An HDMI video resolution that is not supported by the display device will be skipped.)

For audio CD, video CD and MP3 files, 2 channel PCM will be output regardless of the “Dolby Digital” setting. If the connected device is not compatible with HDMI BITSTREAM, audio will be output as PCM even if you select “Stream” in “Dolby Digital” setting. (See page 65.)

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.

* HDMI: High Definition Multimedia Interface

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) may be 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 HDMI-DVI conversion 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.

Information on DVD Recording

This unit can record on DVD-RW/-R discs and DVD+RW/+R discs. DVD-R/+R discs allow you to record programmes only once, and the recorded contents can be erased although the space left on the disc does not change. DVD-RW/+RW discs allow you to record programmes repeatedly, and the recorded contents can be erased. There are 3 recording formats: VR mode, video mode and +VR mode. VR and video modes are available for DVD-RW discs while as only video mode is available for DVD-R discs. +VR mode is available for DVD+RW/+R discs.

Video mode is the same recording format as used on the prerecorded DVD-videos you purchase in local shops. You can play back the discs recorded in this format in most of the DVD players. You will need to finalise such discs (see page 42) before playing them back in other DVD players. Unless finalised, you can record additional materials or edit discs recorded in video mode with this unit. VR (Video Recording) mode is a basic recording format for DVD-RW discs. VR mode offers advanced editing, and you can record and edit material repeatedly, however it is playable only on VR mode compatible unit. Finalisation is recommended before playing them back in other unit. +VR mode is a recording format for DVD+RW/+R disc. +VR mode offers basic editing, and it is playable in most DVD players. Finalisation is recommended before playing them back in other unit.

You can select a recording mode from 5 options. The recording time will vary depending on the recording mode you select as follows.

• This table is intended for a standard new single-sided 12 cm / 8 cm disc. The recording times are estimates and actual recording time may differ.

• The audio and video quality becomes poorer as the recording time gets longer.

You cannot record copy-protected video using this unit. Copyprotected video includes DVD-videos and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-protected material is detected, recording will pause or stop automatically and an error message appears on the screen. You can only record “Copy-once only” video using a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM). When recording a TV broadcast or an external input, you can display copy control information on the screen. CPRM is a scrambling copy protection system for the protection of “copy-once” broadcast programmes. This unit is CPRM compatible, which means that you can record copy-once broadcast programmes, but you cannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings can only be played back on DVD players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.

Some satellite broadcasts include copy-protected information. If you want to record them, refer to the following.

Note

• This unit cannot record on CD-RW/-R discs.

• Discs recorded on a personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder may not be played back if the disc is damaged or dirty or if there is condensation on the recorder’s lens.

• If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a compatible format, it may not be played back or dubbed because of the settings of the application software used to create the disc. (Check with the software publisher for more detailed information.)

• Discs recorded in video mode on this unit cannot record additional information using other DVD recorders.

• Since recording is performed using the Variable Bit Rate (VBR) method, the actual remaining time for recording may be a little shorter than the remaining time displayed on the OSD, depending on the picture you are recording.

2 to 10.

• To exit, press [TIMER PROG.].

• When 2 or more programmes are overlapped, “Timer programme overlapped” appears, and the overlapped programme will be displayed in blue. To correct the timer programme, refer to “Checking, Cancelling or Correcting the Timer Programming Information” on page 35.

11 Press [TIMER SET] to set a timer programming.

Front panel display stays off while the unit is in the standby mode.

Note

• If you have not set the clock, the clock setting window will appear instead of the Timer Programming list. Continue from “Clock Setting” on page 67 before programming the timer.

•Use [0 \ 1] to move the cursor to the left and the right in the entry screen for the timer programming.

• If a basic recording or One-touch Timer Recording is in progress on one component (e.g. VCR) and the timer recording set for the other component (e.g. DVD) is about to begin, the unit automatically switches to the programmed channel for timer recording 2 minutes before the programmed starting time, and the recording in progress (for VCR) will be cancelled UNLESS their recording channels are the same. If their recording channels are the same, the timer recording will start without cancelling the recording currently in progress. In this case, the recording of the same channel will be made on both DVD and VCR.

• Cancel the timer-standby mode by pressing [TIMER SET] to use the component currently in timer-standby mode. When finished operating, press [TIMER SET] to resume the timerstandby mode.

• In the timer-standby mode, you can turn on the power and use the component (VCR or DVD) which is not currently timer-programmed.

The Programme Delivery Control (PDC) assures that the TV programmes you have programmed for timer recording are recorded exactly from beginning to end, even if the actual broadcasting time differs from the scheduled time due to a delayed start or extension of the programme duration. Furthermore, if a programme is interrupted, the recording will also be interrupted automatically and resumed when the programme starts again.

If the PDC signal drops out because the broadcast signal is weak, or if a broadcasting station does not transmit a regular PDC signal, the timer recording is performed in normal mode (without PDC) even if it was programmed for PDC. If the starting time of the PDC timer recording is between 0:00 and 3:59 on a given day, the PDC function will operate from 20:00 on the previous day to 4:00 on the next day. If the starting time of the PDC timer recording is between 4:00 and 23:59 on a given day, the PDC function will operate from 0:00 on the given day to 4:00 on the next day. This means that if the relevant programme is broadcasted within this period, it is recorded correctly. If the timer is not programmed correctly, the incorrect timer setting stays in effect unless you cancel it. To cancel an incorrect timer setting, refer to “Checking, Cancelling or Correcting the Timer Programming Information” on page 35.

Note

• This feature is only available for analogue channels.

• If DVB channels have been stored in this unit, you cannot select PDC on.

Editing Discs

You will find editing discs is easy. This unit offers convenient edit functions.

You can edit the following from a title list.

• Assigning a name to a title

• Dividing a title

• Combining titles

• Adding titles to a Playlist

• Setting or releasing the title protection

• Adding or deleting chapter marks

• Deleting titles or parts of titles

(Possible editing functions depend on the recording format and editing method.)

Original and Playlist (VR mode)

For VR mode DVD-RW disc, you can edit the recordings in Playlist without changing the original recordings. Playlist does not take up much disc space.

What “Original” or “Playlist” is for?

There are 2 types for the title list: Original and Playlist

• Original content refers to what’s actually recorded on the VR mode DVD-RW disc.

• Playlist content refers to the edited version of the VR mode DVD-RW disc; how the Original content is to be played.

Finalising a Disc

• This will allow a disc that is recorded on this unit to be played back on a different DVD player — without finalisation it will not be playable on another player.

• After finalising a DVD-RW/-R or DVD+R disc, you cannot edit any information that is on that disc.

• If you have recorded in DVD+RW disc, then editing is still permitted after finalising.

Using these editing functions to modify copyrighted content for any purpose other than your private viewing may be prohibited under the Copyright Laws of the United States and other countries, and may subject you to civil and criminal liability.

Note

• A Playlist is not available for DVD-R or video mode DVD-RW and DVD+RW/+R discs.

• It is not possible to edit a disc recorded in another video system other than PAL, such as NTSC.

You can delete titles you do not want to keep. When an Original is deleted from VR mode DVD-RW disc, the recordable disc space will increase. Even when a Playlist is deleted, the original of the Playlist will remains, and recordable disc space will not increase. Recordable disc space of video mode DVD-RW and DVD+RW disc will increase when the last title on the title list is deleted. However, deleting the title will not change recordable disc space for DVD-R and DVD+R disc. In finalised DVD-R, video mode DVD-RW or DVD+R discs, you cannot select the title list because it cannot be edited once finalised.

Note

• It is not possible to retrieve deleted titles.

3 Select “Title Delete” using [K \ L], then press

[ENTER\OK].

e.g.)VR mode DVD-RW Original

4 Select “Yes” using [K \ L], then press

Writing onto the disc starts. It may take awhile to write the data on a disc.
