Care and Safety Information  
CAUTION!  
Cleaning discs  
High voltage! Do not open the  
device. You run the risk of getting  
an electric shock.  
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.  
The machine does not contain any  
user-serviceable parts. Please leave  
all maintenance work to qualified  
personnel.  
To clean a disc, use a micro fibre cleaning  
cloth and wipe the disc from the center  
to the edge in a straight line.  
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.  
CAUTION!

thinner, commercially available cleaners,  
or anti-static sprays intended for discs.  
HDD (Hard Disk Drive)  
handling care  
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 (ꢀ.ꢁ”) from the left and  
right to prevent overheating.  
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.  
5cm (2.3")  
– Do not remove the AC power plug  
from the power outlet during operation.

10cm (4.5")  
10cm (4.5")  
5cm (2.3")  
If the HDD fails, playback and recording  
will not be possible. In this case, it will be  
necessary to replace the HDD unit.  
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.)

Region codes  
With both recordable DVD and high  
capacity HDD in the same recorder, you  
enjoy the flexibility of keeping recordings  
on the HDD or copy to a recordable  
DVD for safekeeping or later viewing.  
DVD films are usually not released at the  
same time in all regions of the world,  
thus all DVD players are keyed to a  
specific region code.

features like ‘Instant Replay’, ‘Pause Live  
TV’; see page ꢀ7-ꢀ8 for more  
information.  
The regional code is shown on the back

IMPORTANT!  
Unrecordable pictures  
Discs for recording  
Television programs, films, video tapes,  
discs, and other materials may be  
copy-protected and therefore cannot be  
recorded on this recorder.  
There are several formats of DVD  
recordable discs which can be used with  
this recorder:  
Copying from HDD to a  
recordable DVD  
DVD RW (DVD ReWritable discs)  
– Discs that are rewritable can be used  
for multiple recordings once the existing  
data has been erased.  
You can copy a recorded title(s) from the  
HDD (hard disk drive) to a recordable  
DVD disc.  
The time taken to copy content from the  
HDD to a recordable DVD depends on  
the record quality of the HDD  
recordings.  
AD  
DVD R (DVD Recordable discs)  
– Discs that can only be used for a single  
recording. Each new recording is always  
added at the end of all previous  
recordings as existing recordings cannot  
be overwritten.  
– Editing can be made on DVD R discs  
as long as they have not been finalized.  
– To play a DVD R disc on another  
DVD player, it must be finalized (see page  
56.) After this is done, no more content  
can be added to the disc.  
It is not possible to change the mode of  
record quality during the copying  
process. As such, it is important that you  
choose the appropriate record quality  
when you first set up the recording to  
the HDD.  
The copying process is done at a higher  
speed than the recording.
