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:

Restrictions on Recording  
You cannot record copy-protected video using this unit. Copy-  
protected 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.  
Information on DVD Recording  
Type of Discs  
This unit can record on DVD-RW/-R discs and DVD+RW/+R  
discs.  
You can only record “Copy-once only” video using a DVD-RW  
disc in VR mode with Content Protection for Recordable  
Media (CPRM) or internal HDD.  
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.  
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.  
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 pre-  
recorded 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 45)  
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.

About HDD  
Maximum Recordable Numbers of Title /  
Chapters  
HDD is a special device which has high recording density and  
is suited for long-time recording or high-speed cueing but by  
contrast, has many factors which can cause breakage. Use  
HDD on the premise that you should dub the recorded  
programmes to a DVD disc to protect your precious videos.  
HDD:  
600 Original titles  
600 Playlists  
99 chapters per Original/Playlist title  
HDD is a temporary storage location:  
VR mode DVD:  
HDD is not a permanent storage location of the recorded  
contents. Be sure to use it as a temporary storage location  
until you watch the programmes once, edit them, or dub them  
to a DVD disc.  
99 titles per each Playlist and Original  
999 chapters per each Playlist and Original  
Video mode DVD:  
99 titles per disc  
Be sure to dub (back up) data promptly if you find  
abnormalities in HDD:  
99 chapters per title  
+VR mode DVD:  
If there is mechanical trouble with the HDD, grinding or other  
sounds may be heard or blocky noise may appear on the  
image. If you continue to use as it is, deterioration may  
continue and eventually the HDD may not be used at all. If you  
notice these symptoms of a failing HDD, promptly dub the  
data to a DVD disc.  
49 titles per discs  
254 chapters per disc  
99 chapters per title  
When an HDD fails, recovery of recorded content (data) may  
be impossible.  
About the remaining capacity of HDD recording time:  
In recording to HDD, the Remaining Capacity Display may  
differ from the actual recordable time as this unit adopts  
Variable Bit Rate encoding, which varies the recording  
(storage) amount of data in conformity with the amount of  
information in the video signal. Before recording to the HDD,  
ensure there is sufficient space on the HDD by deleting  
unnecessary titles in advance. (Remaining capacity will not  
increase if you only delete Playlists.)

PDC (Programme Delivery Control)  
Refer to “Recording Mode” on page 28.  
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.  
9 For DVB channel recording:  
Select “STTL” to “ON” or “OFF” using [K \ L].  
If you set “STTL” to “ON”, subtitle will be recorded too.  
• When analogue channel is selected, “PDC” will be  
displayed instead of “STTL”.  
For analogue channel recording:  
Select “PDC” to “ON” or “OFF” using [K \ L].  
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 this page.  
Refer to “PDC (Programme Delivery Control)” on this  
page.
