CAUTION!
High voltage! Do not open.
You run the risk of getting an
electric shock.
The machine does not contain any
user-serviceable parts. Please leave
all maintenance work to qualified
personnel.
Setup
Finding a suitable location
– Place the set on a flat, hard and stable
surface. Do not place the set on a carpet.
– Do not position the set on top of
other equipment that might heat it up
(e.g., receiver or amplifier).
– Do not put anything under the set
(e.g., CDs, magazines).
Space for ventilation
– Place the apparatus in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent internal
heat build up. Allow at least 10 cm (4.5”)
clearance from the rear and the top of
the set and 5cm (2.3”) from the left and
right to prevent overheating.
5cm (2.3")
10cm (4.5")
10cm (4.5")
Cleaning discs
Some problems occur because the disc
inside the recorder is dirty (frozen
picture, sound disruptions, picture
distortions). To avoid these problems,
discs should be cleaned on a regular
basis.
To clean a disc, use a micro fibre cleaning
cloth and wipe the disc from the center
to the edge in a straight line.
CAUTION!
Do not use solvents such as benzene,
thinner, commercially available cleaners,
or anti-static sprays intended for discs.
Since the optical unit (laser) of the DVD
recorder operates at a higher power than
regular DVD or CD players, cleaning CDs
intended for DVD or CD players may
damage the optical unit (laser). Therefore,
refrain from using a cleaning CD.
About recycling

printed on non-polluting paper. This
electronic equipment contains a large
number of materials that can be recycled.
If you are disposing of an old machine,
please take it to a recycling center. Please
observe the local regulations regarding

Connecting a Satellite Receiver/
Cable Box
1 If your Satellite Receiver/Cable Box has
only a single antenna output (RF OUT or
TO TV,) use the antenna cable to connect
it with the ANTENNA input jack at the
back of the DVD recorder.
You can connect a video cassette
recorder (VCR,) DVD player, decoder,
satellite receiver or cable box to the
input jacks at the back of the DVD
recorder (IN-EXT 1 or IN-EXT 2.)
The possible connection is depending on
the capabilities of the additional devices.
Switching between S-Video input and
Video (CVBS) input takes place
automatically. If both are used for
connecting to external devices, the signal
from S-Video socket has priority.
The COMPONENT VIDEO (IN-EXT1)
jacks are designed only for ‘interlaced’
signals. Progressive Scan input signals
cannot be processed by the DVD
recorder.

Option 1: Using DV IN jack
Use this connection if you have a Digital
Video or Digital 8 camcorder. The DV
jack will conforms to the i.LINK standard.
It provides the best picture quality.
● Use an i.LINK 4-pin cable to connect the
DVD recorder’s DV IN jack to the
appropriate DV output jack on the
camcorder.
Before you start operating, select ‘CAM 2’
as the input channel.
For recording, see pages 39~40.
Helpful Hints:
– The DV IN jack does not support
connection to a Personal Computer.
– The DV jack on this recorder can only
receive input signals, it cannot output signals.
Option 2: Using S-VIDEO In or
VIDEO In jack
Use S-VIDEO connection if you have a
Hi8 or S-VHS(C) camcorder. It provides
very good picture quality.
Alternatively, you can use VIDEO
connection if your camcorder has only a
single video output (Composite Video,
CVBS.) It provides good picture quality.
1 Use a S-video cable to connect the DVD
recorder’s S-VIDEO input jack to the
appropriate S-VHS output jack on the
camcorder.
OR
Use a video cable (yellow plug) to
connect the DVD recorder’s VIDEO
input jack to the appropriate video
output jack on the camcorder.
2 Use an audio cable (red/white) to

You can connect the DVD recorder to a
two channel stereo system or receiver in
order to enjoy the stereo sound system.
● Use an audio cable to connect
AUDIO L/R (OUT 2) (red/white) jacks
to one of the following devices with the
same input jacks :
– a stereo system (for example, mini system
or TV)
– a receiver with Dolby Surround Pro Logic
– a receiver with two channel analog stereo
Before you start operating, set the Analog
Output accordingly (see page 53.)
Choose a sound mode setting that is
most compatible with the connected
devices.
CAUTION!
Do not use the ‘Phono’ input on an
amplifier to connect to the DVD
recorder. This input jack is designed only
for record players without preamplifiers.
The DVD recorder or the amplifier may
be damaged as a result.
You can connect the DVD recorder to an
A/V receiver or amplifier in order to
enjoy the home theater system’s
surround sound capabilities.
● Use a coaxial cable to connect
COAXIAL jack to one of the following
devices with the same input jack:
– an A/V receiver or an A/V amplifier with a
digital multi-channel sound decoder
– a receiver with two channel digital stereo
(PCM)
Before you start operating, set the Digital
Output accordingly (see page 57.) If the
Digital Output setting does not match
your stereo’s capabilities, the stereo may
produce a strong, distorted sound or no
sound at all.
Helpful Hints:
– Digital multi-channel sound offers the best
possible sound quality. You will need a multichannel A/V receiver or amplifier that
supports at least one of the audio formats of
the DVD recorder (MPEG2, Dolby Digital.)
See your receiver’s manual for details.
– Playback in six-channel digital surround
sound is only possible if the receiver has a
digital multi-channel sound decoder.

times'. Recording mode : {M2}– 10 minutes, {M2x} – 13 minutes,
{M3} – 15 minutes, {M4} – 20 minutes, {M6} – 30 minutes,
