Introduction

About this product

Some differences

Because of its recording capacity and hard disc drive

(HDD), this DVD recorder operates more like a computer and differently than a standard DVD player. In addition to containing a microprocessor, it contains a

HDD, an operating system, random access memory

(RAM), and a DVD-RAM/R/RW drive. The operating system includes software stored on the HDD that is transferred to the RAM when the machine is turned on and at other times during operation. This transfer can take time. Therefore, when you turn the DVD recorder on, it may take a little while before it is ready to use.

Likewise, other functions may not be performed as quickly as they would on other AV equipment.

Additionally, because programs stored on the DVD-

RAM/R/RW drive cannot be accessed as quickly as those stored on the HDD, accessing those programs (or deleting a program from a DVD-RAM disc) may take more time. Please take these factors into consideration as you use the DVD recorder.

Playback Restrictions

This owner’s manual explains the basic instructions for this recorder. Some DVD video discs are produced in a manner that allows specific or limited operation during playback. As such, the recorder may not respond to all operating commands. This is not a defect in the recorder. Please refer to the notes on compatible discs later in this Introduction and to the discussion of DVD playback and features later in this manual.

“ ” may appear on the TV screen during operation.

“ ” means that the operation is not permitted by the recorder or the disc.

About the hard disc drive (HDD)

Like any HDD, the HDD in the DVD recorder is a fragile device that is susceptible to partial or complete failure if it is jarred or as a result of use over time. It will not last forever. Therefore, do not use the HDD for longer term storage of programs you wish to retain. [If portions of the HDD become damaged, programs recorded on those portions may exhibit pixelization or block noise when played back. Repeated playback of the program may cause the problem to get worse and, eventually, the program may become unplayable. Accordingly, if you notice such noise in a program that you want to save, you should transfer to a recordable DVD disc as soon as possible.] Recordable DVD discs are also susceptible to damage if not handled and stored carefully and some or all of the programs on them may become unplayable.

You can reduce these risks by using high quality DVD recordable discs and checking their playability from time to time. If it becomes necessary to service your DVD recorder, it may be necessary to delete some or all of the programs on the HDD.

Recording Restrictions and Copyright

Copy-protected contents of DVD-Video discs, VIDEO

CDs or audio CDs on the market cannot be copied on this recorder. Contents without copy protection should be copied or edited only in accordance with applicable copyright laws, which may restrict copying or editing.

Contents that permit single copying (copy once contents) can be recorded onto DVD-RAM discs, with some dubbing and editing restrictions. DVD-R/RW discs cannot record these contents.

The unauthorized recording, use, distribution, or revision of copyrighted materials including, without limitation, television programs, videotapes, and DVDs, is prohibited under the Copyright Laws of the United

States and other countries, and may subject you to civil and criminal liability.

Compatibility

In isolated cases, a disc bearing the DVD or CD logo may not fully and properly play back all features or as intended by the creator of the disc. This can be due, among other reasons, to problems and errors that can occur during the creation or recording of DVD and other software and the manufacture of software discs

(including blank discs). Moreover, because of variations in the quality of discs, this recorder may not be able to record on all discs that bear a DVD-RAM,

DVD-R or DVD-RW logo, but you should not encounter difficulty if you use only high quality recordable DVD discs. Additionally, discs recorded in this device may not operate properly in other DVD players, recorders and/or personal computer drives. If you happen to encounter difficulties playing or recording a DVD disc or playing a

CD disc, please feel free to call our Customer Service

Hotline at 1-800-319-6684.

Using different disc types for different purposes

DVD-RAM discs for your personal library

DVD-RAM discs comply with the global standard DVD-VR (Video Recording) format, and are optimized for recording of

TV programs. You can rewrite repeatedly without deterioration of an image quality, erase unnecessary parts, divide a chapter, or specify playback area by frame. Its cartridge is suitable for a longer-term storage and family use, and its large capacity of 9.4 GB allows more recording space.

DVD-R/RW discs when creating your own original discs for distribution

DVD-R discs are designed to comply with the global standard DVD-Video format, and can be recorded only once. DVD-

R discs are convenient when you edit your original content (recorded personal events such as a wedding party) with this recorder, transfer them to the recorder and make copies to send to your friends or relatives. The discs can be played on other compatible DVD players. DVD-RW discs, which are rewritable, can be used as well.

* DVD-R and DVD-RW may not be the best suited format for recording TV programs. Because of the way the discs are formatted, it may not be possible to edit or divide the program as you may prefer, to record secondary languages, or programs that are copy protected in a way that allows only one copy. (NOTE: “Copy once” protected programs generally can be recorded to DVD-RAM discs.)

* This recorder records on a DVD-R/RW disc in DVD-Video format only.

* On DVD-R/RW discs, direct recording, copying or the method “Creating a DVD-Video using DVD-R/RW” ( page

112 in “OPERATIONS GUIDE”) are available.

We cannot guarantee that DVD-RAM/R/RW discs recorded on this recorder will be playable on all DVD recorders/ players. Similarly, there is no guarantee that all DVD-RAM/R/RW discs recorded on other recorders will be playable on this recorder.

Introduction

Choosing a disc (Continued)

On DVD-RAM discs

Use only DVD-RAM discs that comply with

DVD-RAM standard Version 2.0, 2.1 or 2.2.

The recorder cannot record on a disc formatted in any other standard. When using such a disc, initialize it by using the disc-format function of this recorder.

The recorder may not record, dub, or edit some DVD-

RAM discs, because they are edited/recorded with another manufacturer’s equipment or PC, contain a large number of titles, or have little remaining capacity.

Also, a DVD-RAM disc may not be edited or recorded if its title contains still pictures.

DVD-RAM discs formatted in UDF2.0 on a PC are not compatible with this recorder. Before using these discs, initialize them on this recorder.

This recorder complies with current copyright protection technology and can copy a disc only when the disc permits copying once. When there is no indication on the disc, copying will not be allowed.

Such an indication on a disc is required also for the

Library Management database.

DVD-RAM discs with cartridges are recommended for recording.

Two types of DVD-RAM discs are available: ones with cartridges and ones without cartridges. You can use either of them with this recorder, but the former ones are recommended.

In order to record highly detailed data, make sure the disc is clean. DVD-RAM discs with cartridges are easier to handle in this regard.

Do not open the cartridge shutter. The disc may not play, or may not be recorded or edited once it becomes dirty.

There are two types of DVD-RAM cartridges; removable (TYPE 2/4) and not removable (TYPE 1). It is recommended you do not remove the disc even when you can.

Refer to the instruction manual that comes with the disc if it is absolutely necessary to remove the disc.

Some commercially available cartridge discs cannot be recorded or edited once the inside discs are removed.

To protect recorded contents

Slide the write-protect tab to

“PROTECT” with something small enough. The disc can play, but cannot be edited or erased. Refer to the instructions that come with the disc.

PROTECT

When using a disc without a cartridge (commercially available discs)

Discs without cartridges can easily attract fingerprints and dust, which is the reason they are not recommended. If you cannot avoid using them, handle with proper care.

When you write in a title column on a disc, use a pen with a soft tip. Do not use a pen with a hard tip, such as a ballpoint pen.

Recommended discs

Turning the power on

Press ON/STANDBY button from the remote control or on the front panel of the recorder.

ON/STANDBY button/

ON/STANDBY indicator

While the icon is flashing, the recorder is checking the status and reading data of the HDD and the

DVD drive for startup. If the DVD drive does not contain a disc, the recorder consumes less time to startup, because it does not need to read data from the DVD drive.

While the “Loading” icon is flashing, the recorder cannot respond to any operations of buttons other than CH/Page and INPUT SELECT. Operate all other functions after the icon has disappeared.

Notes

• When the recorder is turned on for the first time, the

Welcome screen will be displayed after the “Loading” icon has disappeared. See “A: TV Guide On Screen setup”

( page 32).

• While displaying “WAIT” on the front panel, do not operate the recorder or unplug the power cord. Otherwise, this may result in malfunction of the recorder.

ON/STANDBY button

e.g.

Loading

Turning the power off

Press ON/STANDBY button from the remote control or on the front panel of the recorder.

The “Unloading” icon appears on the right corner of the top of the screen, and the ON/STANDBY indicator turns red. Then the power turns off.

Note

• If the recorder freezes for about 15 minutes and will not respond to any buttons, holding down ON/STANDBY button on the front panel for about 10 seconds can force the recorder to turn off. However, this is an emergency measure, which contains a risk of damage to data or discs.

Avoid casual use of this measure. If you try this while the recorder is operating properly, especially while the

“Loading” or “Unloading” icon is flashing, it may result in reinitialization of the HDD.

Startup/finishing (closing) icons

These icons are displayed on the right corner on the top of the screen. While they are flashing, the recorder is operating as follows:

Startup, reading a disc, finishing recording
