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 (4”) cm
clearance from the rear and the top of
the set and 5 (2”) 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.
Avoid high temperatures, moisture,
water and dust
– Apparatus shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing.
– Do not place any sources of danger
on the apparatus (e.g., liquid filled
objects, lighted candles.)
– 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.
If the HDD fails, playback and recording
will not be possible. In this case, it will be
necessary to replace the HDD unit.
WARNING!
The HDD is not a device for storing
recorded content permanently. We
recommend that you copy the important
video content to a recordable DVD as
backup.

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.
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
“Edit Recordings – Recordable DVD –
Playing your recordings (DVD R) on
other DVD players”) 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. The following
information will be stored on the disc :
– Title/name of recording
– Date of recording
– Time of recording
– Record quality mode/ length of
recording
– Index picture of title
TIPS:
Ensure that there is sufficient space available on the DVD R before recording. You have to finalize the
DVD R before it can be played on other players, see “Playing your recordings on other DVD players.”

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
What kind of disc should I use for
recording?
You can only record on both DVD R and
DVD RW discs. DVD+R/+RW is the most
compatible recordable DVD format on the
market today. They are fully compatible to
most of the existing DVD-Video players and
DVD-ROM drives in computers.
Title
Chapter
Title
What is the capacity of a DVD
recordable disc?
4.7GB, or equivalent to 6 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
A program is recorded as a single title, it may
consist of one chapter or a few chapters
within a title, depending on the recording
settings.
The mode of record quality indicates the
number of hours that will fit on a single disc.
What is the difference between
DVD R and DVD RW?
DVD Rs are “recordable” discs and
DVD RWs are “rewritable” discs. With a
DVD R disc, you can record multiple sessions
on the same disc, but when the disc is full, you
cannot record any more content on the disc.
The DVD RW disc allows you to record over
the same disc repeatedly.
How do I set up Titles and Chapters?
The recorder will automatically create a new
Title each time you start a new recording.
– For DVD recordings, you can add chapters
manually.
– For HDD recordings, you can preset
chapters to be automatically inserted at
5-minutes intervals.
What does “finalizing” a disc do?
Finalizing a disc locks the disc so it can no
longer be recorded, only required for
recorable DVDs. It will then be compatible
with virtually any DVD player. To close a disc
without finalizing 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.
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
jack.
How good is the quality of the
recording?
There are six modes of record quality levels
to choose from, ranging from “HQ” (1 hour
recording at high quality) to “SEP” (8 hours
recording at VHS quality) on a recordable
DVD. Choose the quality level that best suits
your purpose and the length of materia

from an external player?
