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 (frozen picture,  
sound disruptions, picture distortions)  
because the disc in the apparatus is dirty.  
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 centre to  
the edge in straight line movement.  
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 place the set on top of other  
equipment that might heat it up (e.g.,  
receiver or amplifier).  
CAUTION!  
– 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.  
Do not use solvents such as benzene,  
thinner, commercially available cleaners,  
or anti-static sprays for discs.  
Since the optical unit (laser) of the  
recorder operates at a higher power than  
regular DVD or CD players, Cleaning CD  
intended for DVD or CD players may  
damage the optical unit (laser). Therefore,  
refrain from using a Cleaning CD.  
Space for ventilation  
– Keep space allowances of 20 cm around  
ventilation openings of the apparatus. Do  
not place the device on an unsteady base.

Connect the existing Antenna/Satellite  
Receiver/Cable TV signal (labelled as RF  
OUT or TO TV) to the ANTENNA  
socket on the recorder.  
Connecting the antenna  
cables  
These connections enable you to watch  
and record TV programmes using the  
recorder. If the antenna signal is  
connected via Cable Box or Satellite  
Receiver, ensure that these devices are  
turned on in order to watch or record  
the cable programmes.  
Connect the supplied RF coaxial cable  
from the TV  
socket on the recorder  
to the antenna input socket (or labelled  
as VHF/UHF RF IN) on your TV.  
Helpful Hint:  
– Depending on how you have connected  
your TV channel (directly from an off-air  
antenna or Cable box or VCR), you may have  
to disconnect some of the cables before you  
make the antenna connection.  
If you want to connect to a Cable  
Box/Satellite Receiver, see the  
chapter “Step 2 : Optional Connections  
– Connecting to a Cable Box or Satellite  
Receiver” for the complete connections  
to your TV.  
ꢀ
TIPS: Before making or changing any connections, make sure that all the devices are disconnected  
from the power outlet.

Recording  
This recorder can record TV  
programmes or copy content from an  
external device to a DVD recordable disc  
or VHS tape. The storage capacity of the  
disc and tape are dependable on the  
recording mode selected. This recorder  
also incorporates timer recording  
function which allows a scheduled  
recording to be made.  
DVD+R DL (DVD+R Double Layer)  
It contains the same usage as DVD+R, the  
only difference is the capacity of 8.5 GB.  
It offers two recordable layers on a single  
DVD disc. The layers are accessible from  
the same side of the disc, so recording  
can occur completely uninterrupted.

is erased.  
Helpful Hints:  
– It is normal to encounter noise when  
recording to discs of higher media speeds.  
– Avoid using discs with labels.  
DVD R (DVD Recordable)  
VHS Tape  
Discs 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 done on DVD R discs as  
long as they have not been finalised.  
To playback a DVD R on other DVD  
player, it must be finalised (see the  
chapter “Editing/ Finalising Recording –  
Playing your recordings (DVD R) on  
other DVD players”). After this is done,  
no more data can be added to the disc.  
–
VHS tapes have record safety tabs to  
ensure that recordings will not be  
accidentally erased. To prevent  
recording, break off the tab. To allow  
recording, cover the hole of the tab with  
clear tape.  
Without the record safety tab, the VHS  
tape will start playback once your insert  
the VHS tape into the tape slot.  
The VCR automatically marks the tape  
with an index signal at the point where  
each recording begins.

Troubleshooting (continued)  
Problem (Recording)  
Solution  
The wrong TV channel  
was decoded (recorded)  
after you programmed a  
recording using the  
SHOWVIEW® / VIDEO  
Plus+® system.  
1) Press SHOWVIEW (or VIDEO Plus+) on the remote  
control, enter the SHOWVIEW® programming or  
PlusCode number of the desired TV channel.  
2) Press OK to confirm.  
3) Check the channel number in the {Program #} input  
field. If this does not correspond to the desired TV  
channel, select this entry field and change the channel  
number.  
4) Press OK to confirm.  
Picture is fuzzy and  
brightness varies when  
copying DVD Video discs  
or prerecorded video  
tapes.  
– This happens if you try to copy DVDs or video tapes  
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 tapes.  
– The DVD recordable disc has a limited recording  
lifetime, please change a new disc for recording.  
Recordings are not  
occurring as scheduled.  
New recordings cannot be  
made.  
– The TV channel you want to record is not stored or  
you have selected the wrong programme number.  
Check TV channels stored.  
– If you adjust the clock after you have set a timer  
recording, you have to reset the timer recording.  
– If the recorder cannot read the disc, you cannot record.  
– You cannot use the recorder to duplicate copyrighted  
materials (DVDs or videotapes) onto a DVD R/ RW.  
– A finalised DVD R has been inserted. Change disc.  
A DVD R/ RW recorded  
on this DVD recorder  
does not playback on a  
DVD player.  
– If a recording is too short, it is possible that a DVD  
player cannot detect it.  
– You have to finalise the DVD R. See the chapter  
“Playing your recordings (DVD R) on other DVD  
players” for details.  
The picture on my  
decoder appears to be  
distorted during  
recording.  
– If you are recording a programme from your decoder  
box, view the same programme by pressing the SCART  
on the recorder’s remote control.  
– If the safety tab has been removed, cover the tab hole  
with clear tape.  
– Make sure the VHS tape is not at its end.  
The VHS tape is ejected  
when you press REC  
button.

Frequently Asked Questions  
What kind of disc should I use for  
recording?  
You can record on DVD R, DVD RW  
or DVD+R DL discs. They are  
compatible with DVD-Video players and  
DVD-ROM drives in computers.  
What is DV?  
Using DV, also known as i.LINK, 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.  
– Never connect more than one DV  
camcorder at a time to this recorder.  
– Avoid controlling this recorder from  
the external equipment connected via the  
DV IN socket.  
What is the capacity of a DVD R/  
+RW disc?  
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 recording at  
the lowest quality (VHS standard). The  
recording mode indicates the number of  
hours that will fit on a single disc.  
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 is the difference between  
DVD R and DVD RW?  
DVD R is “recordable” and DVD RW is  
“erasable” and “rewritable”. With a  
DVD R, record multiple sessions on the  
same disc, but when the disc is full, no  
more recordings can be made to the disc.  
The DVD RW allows you to record  
over the same disc repeatedly.  
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.  
How do I check the remaining space  
available on a recordable DVD disc?  
In disc menu mode, press REC MODE on  
the remote control repeatedly to display  
the remaining recording time in different  
recording mode.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions (continued)  
How do I set up Titles and  
Chapters?  
What is ‘index’ for VHS tape?  
When you make a recording to a VHS  
tape, an index is automatically marked on  
the tape when recording starts. These  
index markings can help to locate a  
specific recording quickly and easily.  
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-minute  
intervals.  
What does “finalising” a disc mean?  
Finalising a disc locks the disc so it can no  
longer be recorded upon, only required  
for DVD R. It will then be compatible  
with any DVD player. To close 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 room for  
more recordings.  
How good is the quality of the  
recording?  
There are a few quality levels to choose  
from, ranging from “1 hour mode” (High  
Quality) to “6 hours mode” (Super Long  
Play). Press REC MODE button on the  
remote control to choose the quality  
level that best suits your purpose and the  
length of material.
