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 centre

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 above or 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!

Do not use solvents such as benzene,

thinner, commercially available cleaners,

or anti-static sprays intended for

analogue discs.

Space for ventilation

Since the optical unit (laser) of the

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.

– Place the apparatus in a location with

adequate ventilation to prevent internal

heat build up. Allow at least 10 cm (4”)

clearance from the rear and the top of

the set and 5 cm (2”) from the left and

right to prevent overheating.

Avoid high temperatures, moisture,

water and dust

– Apparatus shall not be exposed to

dripping or splashing.

About recycling

These operating instructions have been

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 centre. Please

observe the local regulations regarding

disposal of packaging materials, exhausted

batteries, and old equipment.

– Do not place any sources of danger on

the apparatus (e.g., liquid ﬁlled objects,

lighted candles).

corresponding S-VHS or Video output

socket on the camcorder.

Option 1: Using the DV IN socket

Use an audio cable (red/white ends) to

connect the AUDIO L/R sockets on the

front panel of the recorder to the audio

output sockets on the camcorder.

Use this connection if you have a Digital

Video or Digital 8 camcorder. The DV

socket conforms to the i.LINK standard.

Use an i.LINK 4-pin cable (not supplied)

to connect the DV IN socket on the

recorder to the appropriate DV OUT

socket on the camcorder.

(PAL/NTSC).

– The disc is dirty, clean the disc.

– Sometimes a small amount of picture distortion may appear.

This is not a malfunction.

A DVD R/ RW recorded on

this DVD recorder does not

cannot detect it. Please observe the following ‘minimum

recording times’. Recording mode : {HQ} – 5 mins, {SP} – 10

mins, {EP} – 20 mins, {SLP} – 30 mins.

– You have to ﬁnalise the DVD R. Refer to chapter “Playing your

The wrong TV channel was

decoded (recorded) after you

programmed a recording

using the VIDEO Plus+^®

system.

– This happens if you try to copy DVDs or video cassettes that

have been copy-protected. Even though the picture on the TV is

ﬁne, but the recording on the DVD recordable disc is faulty.

This interference is unavoidable with copy-protected DVDs or

video cassettes.

Picture is fuzzy and

brightness varies when

copying DVD Video discs or

prerecorded video cassettes.

– The DVD recordable disc has a limited recording lifetime, please

change a new disc for recording.

– The TV channel you want to record is not stored or you

selected the wrong program number. Check the TV channels

stored.

– You have to reset the timer recording after adjusting the clock

setting.

Recordings are not occurring

as scheduled. New recordings

cannot be made.

– You cannot use the recorder to duplicate copy-protected

materials (DVDs or video tapes) onto a DVD recordable disc.

– If you are recording a programme from your decoder box, you

can view the same programme by pressing TV/DVD on the

recorder’s remote control.

The picture on my decoder

appears to be distorted

during recording.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Titles and Chapters?

What kind of disc should I use for

recording?

You can record on both DVD R and

DVD RW discs. They are compatible with

DVD-Video players and DVD-ROM drives in

computers.

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.

Title

What is the capacity of a DVD R/ RW

disc?

Chapter

Title

4.7GB, or equivalent to six CDs. You can

store only one hour of recordings on a single

disc at the highest quality (DVD standard) and

about 6 hours recordings at the lowest quality

(VHS standard).

Chapter Chapter Chapter Chapter

chapter markers

What is the difference between DVD R

and DVD RW?

Programmes are recorded as a single title, it

may consist of one chapter or a few chapters

within a title, depending on the recording

settings.

DVD R is “recordable” and DVD RW is

“rewritable”. With a DVD R, you can record

multiple sessions on the same disc, but when

the disc is full, you cannot record any more on

the disc. The DVD RW allows you to record

over the same disc repeatedly.

How do I set up Titles and Chapters?

The recorder automatically creates a new Title

every time you start a new recording. You can

then add Chapters to these recordings

manually or have them automatically inserted

at 5-minutes intervals.

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 a time to this recorder.

– You cannot control this recorder from

external equipment connected via the DV IN

socket.

What does “ﬁnalising” a disc do?

Finalising a disc locks the disc so it can no

longer be used for recording. This is only

required for DVD R discs. It will then be

compatible with virtually any DVD player. To

remove a disc without ﬁnalising it, simply stop

recording and eject the disc. You will still be

able to record on the disc if there is storage

space for more recordings.

How good is the quality of the

recording?

There are a few quality levels to choose from,

ranging from “HQ” - High Quality (1 hour

mode) to “SLP” - Super Long Play (6 hours

mode). Press the REC MODE key on the

remote control to choose the quality level that

best suits your purpose and the length of

material.

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.
