carries all audio and video signals via a single
cable.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of disc should I use for
recording?
Chapter
You can only record on both DVD±R,DVD+R/
DL and DVD±RW discs. DVD±R/±RW is the
most compatible recordable DVD format on
the market today. They are fully compatible to
most of the existing DVD-Video players and
DVD-ROM drives in computers.
What is the capacity of a
DVD recordable disc?
4.7GB, or equivalent to 6 CDs. You can store
only one hour of recordings on a single disc at
the highest quality (HQ High Quality) and
about 6 hours recordings at the lowest quality
(SLP Super Extended Play.)
The mode of record quality indicates the
number of hours that will fit on a single disc.
What is the difference between
DVD±R and DVD±RW?
DVD±Rs are “recordable” discs and
DVD±RWs are “rewritable” discs. With a
DVD±R disc, you can record multiple sessions
on the same disc, but when the disc is full, you
cannot record any more content on the disc.
The DVD±RW disc allows you to record over
the same disc repeatedly.
What is DV?
Using DV, also known as i.LINK, you can
connect a DV-equipped camcorder to this
recorder using a single DV cable for input and
output of audio, video, data and control signals.
– This recorder is only compatible with
DV-format (DVC-SD) camcorders. Digital
satellite tuners and Digital VHS video
recorders are not compatible.
– You cannot connect more than one DV
camcorder at any one time to this recorder.
– You cannot control this recorder from
external equipment connected via the
DV IN jack.
Can I copy a VHS tape or DVD
from an external player?
Yes, but only if the VHS tape or DVD is not
copy-protected.
What are Titles and Chapters?
A DVD disc contains Titles and Chapters,
which are similar to the Titles and Chapters of
a book. A Title is often a complete movie and
is broken down into Chapters, or individual
scenes from the movies.
English
Title
Title
Chapter Chapter Chapter Chapter
chapter markers
A program is recorded as a single title, it may
consist of one chapter or a few chapters
within a title, depending on the recording
settings.
How do I set up Titles and Chapters?
The recorder will automatically create a new
Title each time you start a new recording.
– For DVD recordings, you can edit chapters
manually.
– For HDD recordings, you can preset
chapters to be automatically inserted at
5/10/20/30-minutes intervals.
What does “finalizing” a disc do?
Finalizing a disc locks the disc so it can no
longer be recorded, only required for
DVD±R/-RW/+R DLs. It will then be
compatible with virtually any DVD player. To
close a disc without finalizing it, simply stop
recording and eject the disc. You will still be
able to record on the disc if there is capacity
for more recordings.
How good is the quality of the
recording?
There are six modes of record quality levels
to choose from, ranging from “HQ” (1 hour
recording at high quality) to “SLP” (6 hours
recording at Super Long Play quality) on a
recordable DVD. Choose the quality level that
best suits your purpose and the length of
material.

Care and Safety Information
English
CAUTION!
High voltage! Do not open the
device. 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 precautions
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.)
– Install this unit near the AC outlet and
where the AC power plug can be reached
easily.
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 5 cm (2.3”) from the left and
right to prevent overheating.
5cm (2.3")
10cm (4.5")
10cm (4.5")
5cm (2.3")
Avoid high temperatures, moisture,
water and dust
– Apparatus must not be exposed to
dripping or splashing.
– Do not place any sources of danger
on the apparatus (e.g., liquid filled
objects, lighted candles.)
10
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.
HDD (Hard Disk Drive)
handling care
The HDD is a fragile piece of device that
is easily prone to damage due to its long
recording capacity and high speed
operation.
– Do not move the unit while it is turned
on.
– Do not remove the AC power plug
from the power outlet during operation.
– Do not use the unit in excessively hot
or humid places. It may cause
condensation to form inside the unit.
If the HDD fails, playback and recording
will not be possible. In this case, it will be
necessary to replace the HDD unit.
WARNING!
The HDD is not a device for storing
recorded content permanently. We
recommend that you copy the important
video content to a recordable DVD as
backup.

These connections enable you to watch
and record TV programs using this
recorder. If the antenna signal is
connected via a VCR, Cable Box or
Satellite Receiver, ensure that these
devices are turned on in order to watch
or record the cable programs.
l If you want to connect to a VCR
and/or Cable Box/Satellite Receiver,
see page 19~21 for the complete
connection to your TV.
A Connect the existing Antenna/Cable TV
signal (or from the Cable Box/Satellite
Receiver {RF OUT or TO TV}) to the
ANTENNA IN jack on the recorder.
B Use the supplied RF coaxial cable to
connect the ANTENNA OUT jack on
the recorder to the antenna input jack on
your TV (VHF/UHF RF IN.)
Helpful Hint:
– Depending on how you have currently
connected your TV channel (directly from an
off-air antenna or Cable box or VCR), you
will have to disconnect some of the cables
before you make the above connection.
TIPS: Before making or changing any connections, make sure that all the devices are disconnected
from the power outlet.
