Failure to heed the following precautions may result in  
damage to the discs, the built-in hard disc drive (HDD),  
and the remote control.  
Precautions for the HDD  
1. Before using the unit:  
Whenthepowerison,theHDDisconstantlyrotating  
at a high speed.  
1. DO NOT place the equipment...  
• in an environment prone to extreme temperatures  
or humidity. (Select a place which is level, dry and  
neither too hot nor too cold between 5˚C and  
35˚C.)  
This requires you to note the following:  
• DO NOT impart vibration or shock.  
If given a heavy shock, not only is the data  
recorded damaged but also the HDD itself is  
damaged.  
• in direct sunlight.  
• in a dusty environment.  
• DO NOT allow anything having strong  
magnetism or emitting strong electromagnetic  
waves (cellular phones, etc.) near the unit.  
• DO NOT disconnect the power plug from the  
wall outlet when the power is on.  
• in an environment where strong magnetic fields are  
generated.  
• on a surface that is unstable or subject to vibration.  
2. DO NOT block the cooling fan.  
If the cooling fan is blocked by a newspaper or cloth,  
etc., the internal heat buildup may cause fire.  
• The cooling fan starts rotating when the internal  
heat builds up (and may keep rotating until the safe  
inside temperature is obtained even after you turn  
off the power).  
If the power supply is cut off while the HDD is  
in operation, it can be damaged or the stored  
data may be damaged. Be sure to press the  
(STANDBY/ON) button to turn off the power.  
2. While using the unit:  
• When viewing a TV program through the built-  
in tuner, you might notice a slight time lag  
compared to the actual program being  
broadcast. This happens because pictures  
received are once stored in the HDD, and then  
played back. The time lag is approximately 3  
seconds.  
• If you turn the power on with the HDD already  
selected, it will take about 20 seconds before  
the received pictures appear on the TV. During  
this period, no operation is accepted.  
• The HDD may produce mechanical noise while  
power is on, but it is not a malfunction.  
3. DO NOT place heavy objects on the equipment.  
4. DO NOT place anything which might spill on the  
equipment.  
If water or liquid is allowed to enter the equipment, fire  
or electric shock may be caused.  
5. DO NOT expose the equipment to dripping or  
splashing.  
6. DO NOT use the equipment in a bathroom or a wet  
place.  
7. DO NOT place any containers filled with water or  
liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases,  
potted plants, cups, etc.) on the equipment.  
8. DO NOT place any naked flame sources, such as  
lighted candles, on the equipment.

9. DONOTimpartviolentshocktotheequipmentduring  
transport.  
Moisture condensation  
Moisture in the air will condense inside the unit when  
you move it from a cold place to a warm place, or under  
extremely humid conditions—just as water droplets form  
in the surface of a glass filled with cold liquid. In  
conditions where condensation may occur, keep the unit  
turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry.  
Notes on the power cord  
• When you are away on travel or otherwise for an  
extended period of time, remove the plug from the wall  
outlet. A certain amount of power (15 W) is always  
consumed while the power cord is connected to the  
wall outlet.

• When unplugging the unit from the wall outlet, always  
pull the plug, not the power cord.  
• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands

Programme Delivery Control (PDC) Recording  
Now available from some TV stations, Programme  
Delivery Control (PDC) is a service designed to assure  
safe, accurate timer recording. With this system,  
special code signals are transmitted together with the  
audio/video signals. These code signals control your  
video recorder (for this unit, the HDD deck) and have  
precedence over the advertised times which you may  
have preset into the timer. This means that your  
recorder will start and stop recording when the preset  
TV programmes actually start and end—even if the  
broadcast time of a preset TV programme is changed  
from what has been advertised.  
You can select the following modes for Weekly/Daily  
Timer—ONCE, WEEKLY (OVERWRITE) or (a) certain  
day(s).  
ONCE (Once Timer recording)  
Select to perform the timer recording only once with  
this setting.  
WEEKLY (OVERWRITE) (Weekly Timer recording/  
Weekly overwrite)  
Select to record a weekly programme. A recorded  
programme is automatically overwritten by the same  
series of the programme of the next week.  
PDC is available nationally on BBC1, BBC2, Channel  
4 and Channel 5 (except the cases that the  
This week’s drama  
Overwritten  
programmes are broadcast through a few small relay  
transmitters). Channel 3 operates a PDC service in  
some areas. All channels intend to offer this service in  
due course. Check your TV programme listing guide  
for latest information.  
If the TV station you intend to record does not offer a  
PDC service, your recorder will not start recording if  
PDC has been turned “ON.” Be sure to turn “OFF”  
PDC in this case.  
Last week’s drama  
MON-SUN (FOR A WEEK)/ MON-SAT (FOR A  
WEEK)/ MON-FRI (FOR A WEEK) (Weekly Timer  
recording/Weekly overwrite)  
Select to record a weekly programme. A recorded  
programme is automatically overwritten by the same  
series of the programme broadcast on the same day of  
the next week.  
NOTES  
When you use Express Timer programming, set the start  
time exactly as advertised in the TV listing.

Now most of the satellite stations and the cable systems

Resuming playback  
NOTES  
If you change the “RESUME” setting from “DISC RESUME” to  
“OFF” or “ON,” the unit cannot recall the interrupted position  
stored for the discs; however, the stored interrupted positions  
are never erased due to this setting change.  
If you stop playback of a disc with an interrupted position  
stored in memory, this new interrupted position is stored for  
the disc (the previous interrupted position is overwritten in  
memory).  
For a double-sided DVD Video, the unit stores an interrupted  
position separately for each side. To start playing such a disc,  
make sure of inserting it with the desired side down.  
When the unit memorizes an interrupted point for a disc, it  
also memorizes Audio, Subtitle and Angle settings. (See pages  
56 and 60.)  
The unit may not resume playback exactly from the interrupted  
point of a disc. In the case of an SVCD/VCD disc with PBC, the  
unit may start playing it back from a point slightly different  
point (either backward or forward).  
The unit can memorize the position on a disc where you  
have stopped playback, and resume playback from that  
position later.  
You can select either “ON” or “DISC RESUME” for  
resume function.  
You can select your desired option using the menu (see  
page 79).  
When “RESUME” is set to “ON” (initial setting)  
When you press 7 (CLEAR) (“RESUME STOP” appears on  
the TV) or try to operate the HDD deck, the unit stops  
playback and memorizes the interrupted position.  
The memory of the interrupted position is cleared when  
you turn off the unit or when you eject the disc.  
• Next time you press 3 (SELECT), playback starts from  
the interrupted position of the disc (“RESUME PLAY”  
appears on the TV).

Linear PCM  
PCM stands for “pulse code modulation.” Linear PCM is  
the usual method for digitally encoding audio without  
compression, and is used for the audio tracks on DVD  
Video discs, CDs, etc.  
Glossary  
A ratio which defines the shape of the rectangular picture  
on a TV. It is the width of the picture relative to the  
height. A conventional TV picture is 4:3 in aspect ratio.  
Aspect ratio  
MP3  
MP3 is an audio data compression format, which stands  
for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Using MP3, you can achieve  
a data reduction of about 1:10 compared to a  
conventional CD.  
Bitstream  
The digital format of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1-  
channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.  
MPEG  
Chapter/title  
A family of Standards for compressing visual signals.  
“MPEG” standards include MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-  
4. Video CD is based on MPEG-1, while DVD is based  
on MPEG-2. MPEG stands for Moving Picture Experts  
Group.  
Chapter is the smallest division and title is the largest  
division on DVD Video. A chapter is a division of a title  
and similar to a track for VCD or CD.  
Dolby Digital (AC3)  
• This is also used for compressing audio signals (ex.  
MP3).  
A six-channel system consisting of left, centre, right, left  
rear, right rear and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect channel,  
for use with a subwoofer) channels. All processing is  
done in the digital domain. Not all Dolby Digital discs  
contain six (5.1) channels.  
MPEG Multichannel  
This feature expands the 5.1 channel audio format  
recorded in the disc to a 7.1 channel format. The further  
expansion of the 5.1 channel audio makes it easy for you  
to reproduce the movie theatre experience in your own  
home.  
Dolby Surround/Dolby Pro Logic  
Dolby Surround records four channels of front and rear  
audio in two channels in a way that allows a decoder to  
recover the original four channels for playback. Because  
the audio is recorded in two channels, it can be played  
back naturally by a two-channel stereo system.  
Dolby Pro Logic introduces directional circuits in  
decoder-side processing (increasing the level of specific  
channels and lowering the level of silent channels) for  
greater spatial perspective, and adds a centre speaker  
used primarily for dialogue. The result is enhanced  
channel separation.  
NICAM  
Broadcast providing stereo, FM sound, or bilingual  
programmes. The TV tuner built in this unit can receive  
these NICAM signals.  
NTSC (National television system committee)  
A black and white and colour television system format  
used in the U.S.A., Canada, Mexico and Japan.  
DTS  
PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)  
A colour television system format used extensively in  
Western Europe.  
A digital surround audio encoding format configured  
with six (5.1) channels, similar to Dolby Digital.  
DTS stands for Digital Theatre Systems.  
Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels of  
information.  
PBC  
PBC stands for “Playback control” and is a method of  
controlling disc play for Video CDs (VCD). You are able  
to interact with the disc through menus.  
Dynamic range  
The difference between the loudest and softest sounds.  
RGB  
JPEG  
An abbreviation for Red, Green, and Blue. Colour  
monitors and colour television sets display different hues  
by mixing these three colours.  
A popular file format for still image compression and  
storage.  
JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group.  
There are three sub-types of the JPEG format as follows.  
• Baseline JPEG: used for digital cameras, the web, etc.  
• Progressive JPEG: used for the web  
• Lossless JPEG: an old type, rarely used now  
Track  
The smallest division on SVCD, Video CD and Audio CD  
discs.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”  
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards  
but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and  
safety is to be assured.  
Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.  
Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and  
interconnections between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the  
manufacturers instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing  
connections.  
Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of  
your equipment.  
Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.  
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or  
if it is damaged in any way—switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.  
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.  
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specically stated that it  
is designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode.  
Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do  
this.  
Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.  
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the  
requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.  
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your  
hearing.  
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.  
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.  
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws—to ensure complete safety  
always fit the manufacturers approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the  
instructions.  
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.  
ABOVE ALL  
NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening  
in the case—this could result in a fatal electrical shock;  
NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind—it is better to be safe  
than sorry!
