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!
Do not use solvents such as benzene,
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.
– Do not use the unit in excessively hot
or humid places. It may cause
condensation to form inside the unit.
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

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.
Furthermore, you can take advantage of
features like ‘Instant Replay’, ‘Pause Live
TV’; see page ꢀ7-ꢀ8 for more
information.
The regional code is shown on the back
panel of this device. If the DVD is
marked with a different region code, it
cannot be played back on this device.
Before you can start using this recorder,
you must complete the basic connections
and set-up in three easy steps.

A
B
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.
Connecting the antenna
cables
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.
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.

If you want to connect to a VCR
and/or Cable Box/Satellite Receiver,
see page 18~ꢀ0 for the complete
connection to your TV.

Record on DVD Recordable Disc
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.
