• Do not handle the mains cable with wet hands.
• Do not pull on the mains cable to disconnect it from the AC
outlet. Grasp it by the plug.
Do not place the unit on the furniture that is capable of
being tilted by a child and an adult leaning, pulling,
standing or climbing on it. A falling unit can cause serious
injury or even death.
• If, by accident, water is spilled on the unit, unplug the mains

centre for servicing.
Connection to Power
Before Switching on make sure that the voltage of your
electricity supply is the same as that indicated on the rating
plate.

Moisture condensation may occur inside the unit when it is
moved from a cold place to a warm place, after heating a cold
room, or under conditions of high humidity. Do not use the unit
for at least 2 hours to allow the inside to dry.
Mains Cord
This appliance may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If it is
necessary to change the fuse in a nonrewireable plug the fuse
cover must be refitted. Do not use the plug if the fuse cover is
lost or damaged. If a replacement fuse cover cannot be found,
the plug must be changed with another carrying the same
value fuse.
It is important that the colour of the replacement fuse cover
corresponds with the rating marking on the base of the plug.
If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for
your socket, or becomes damaged, it should be cut off and an
appropriate plug fitted following the wiring instructions below.
The plug removed must be disposed of safely as insertion into
a 13A socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard.
For your own safety read the following instructions carefully
before attempting to connect this unit to mains.
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code:

• Among the devices that support HDMI, some devices can
control other devices via the HDMI connector; however, this
unit cannot be controlled by another device via the HDMI
connector.
[HDMI CONNECTION]
• HDMI outputs the video / audio signals without converting to
analogue signals.
• No audio connections is required.
• Use the HDMI cable (commercially available) for connection.
• Connect the HDMI output jack of this unit to the HDMI input

Copyright protection system
To play back the digital video images of a DVD via an HDMI
connection, it is necessary that both the player and the display

system called HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content
protection system). HDCP is copy protection technology that
comprises data encryption and authentication of the
connected AV device. This unit supports HDCP. Please read
the operating instructions of your display device (or AV
amplifier) for more information.

Recording
Restrictions on Recording
You cannot record copy-protected video using this unit. Copy-
protected video includes DVD-videos and some satellite
broadcasts.
If copy-protected material is detected, recording will pause or
stop automatically and an error message appears on the
screen.
Information on DVD Recording
Type of Discs
This unit can record on DVD-RW/-R discs and DVD+RW/+R
discs.
You can only record “Copy-once only” video using a DVD-RW
disc in VR mode with Content Protection for Recordable
Media (CPRM) or internal HDD.
DVD-R/+R discs allow you to record programmes only once,
and the recorded contents can be erased although the space
left on the disc does not change.
When recording a TV broadcast or an external input, you can
display copy control information on the screen.
CPRM is a scrambling copy protection system for the
protection of “copy-once” broadcast programmes.
This unit is CPRM compatible, which means that you can
record copy-once broadcast programmes, but you cannot
then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings can
only be played back on DVD players that are specifically
compatible with CPRM.
DVD-RW/+RW discs allow you to record programmes
repeatedly, and the recorded contents can be erased.
There are 3 recording formats: VR mode, video mode and
+VR mode. VR and video modes are available for DVD-RW
discs while as only video mode is available for DVD-R discs.
+VR mode is available for DVD+RW/+R discs.
Video mode is the same recording format as used on the pre-
recorded DVD-videos you purchase in local shops. You can
play back the discs recorded in this format in most of the DVD
players. You will need to finalise such discs (see page 45)
before playing them back in other DVD players. Unless
finalised, you can record additional materials or edit discs
recorded in video mode with this unit. VR (Video Recording)
mode is a basic recording format for DVD-RW discs.
VR mode offers advanced editing, and you can record and
edit material repeatedly, however it is playable only on VR
mode compatible unit. Finalisation is recommended before
playing them back in other unit.

Some satellite broadcasts include copy-protected information.

About HDD
Maximum Recordable Numbers of Title /
Chapters
HDD is a special device which has high recording density and
is suited for long-time recording or high-speed cueing but by
contrast, has many factors which can cause breakage. Use
HDD on the premise that you should dub the recorded
programmes to a DVD disc to protect your precious videos.
HDD:
600 Original titles
600 Playlists
99 chapters per Original/Playlist title
HDD is a temporary storage location:
VR mode DVD:
HDD is not a permanent storage location of the recorded
contents. Be sure to use it as a temporary storage location
until you watch the programmes once, edit them, or dub them
to a DVD disc.
99 titles per each Playlist and Original
999 chapters per each Playlist and Original
Video mode DVD:
99 titles per disc
Be sure to dub (back up) data promptly if you find
abnormalities in HDD:
99 chapters per title
+VR mode DVD:
If there is mechanical trouble with the HDD, grinding or other
sounds may be heard or blocky noise may appear on the
image. If you continue to use as it is, deterioration may
continue and eventually the HDD may not be used at all. If you
notice these symptoms of a failing HDD, promptly dub the
data to a DVD disc.
49 titles per discs
254 chapters per disc
99 chapters per title
When an HDD fails, recovery of recorded content (data) may
be impossible.
About the remaining capacity of HDD recording time:
In recording to HDD, the Remaining Capacity Display may
differ from the actual recordable time as this unit adopts
Variable Bit Rate encoding, which varies the recording
(storage) amount of data in conformity with the amount of
information in the video signal. Before recording to the HDD,
ensure there is sufficient space on the HDD by deleting
unnecessary titles in advance. (Remaining capacity will not
increase if you only delete Playlists.)

PDC (Programme Delivery Control)
Refer to “Recording Mode” on page 28.
The Programme Delivery Control (PDC) assures that the TV
programmes you have programmed for timer recording are
recorded exactly from beginning to end, even if the actual
broadcasting time differs from the scheduled time due to a
delayed start or extension of the programme duration.
Furthermore, if a programme is interrupted, the recording will
also be interrupted automatically and resumed when the
programme starts again.
9 For DVB channel recording:
Select “STTL” to “ON” or “OFF” using [K \ L].
If you set “STTL” to “ON”, subtitle will be recorded too.
• When analogue channel is selected, “PDC” will be
displayed instead of “STTL”.
For analogue channel recording:
Select “PDC” to “ON” or “OFF” using [K \ L].
If the PDC signal drops out because the broadcast signal is
weak, or if a broadcasting station does not transmit a regular
PDC signal, the timer recording is performed in normal mode
(without PDC) even if it was programmed for PDC. If the
starting time of the PDC timer recording is between 0:00 and
3:59 on a given day, the PDC function will operate from 20:00
on the previous day to 4:00 on the next day. If the starting time
of the PDC timer recording is between 4:00 and 23:59 on a
given day, the PDC function will operate from 0:00 on the
given day to 4:00 on the next day. This means that if the
relevant programme is broadcasted within this period, it is
recorded correctly. If the timer is not programmed correctly,
the incorrect timer setting stays in effect unless you cancel it.
To cancel an incorrect timer setting, refer to “Checking,
Cancelling or Correcting the Timer Programming Information”
on this page.
Refer to “PDC (Programme Delivery Control)” on this
page.
• When DVB channel is selected, “STTL” will be displayed
instead of “PDC”.

Limitation (DVD to HDD):

mode to DVD-R, dubbing speed will be 32 times faster than
the normal dubbing speed.) To perform the high speed
dubbing, set the recording mode to “High”.
