Notes on discs  
About the  
Symbol Display  
Depending on the conditions of the recording equipment or the CD-R/RW (or  
DVD R/RW) disc itself, some CD-R/RW (or DVD R/RW) discs cannot be  
played on the unit.  
” may appear on your TV display during operation and indicate that the  
function explained in this owner’s manual is not available on that specific media.  
Regional Codes  
Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the labeled side or the record-  
ed side) of a disc.  
This unit has a regional code printed on the rear of the unit. This unit can play  
only DVD discs labeled same as the rear of the unit or “ALL”.  
Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (e.g., heart-shaped or octagonal). Doing  
so may result in malfunctions.  
Most DVD discs have a globe with one or more numbers in it clearly visible  
on the cover. This number must match your unit’s regional code or the disc  
cannot play.  
Depending on the recording software & the finalization, some recorded discs  
(CD-R/RW or DVD R/RW) may not be playable.  
If you try to play a DVD with a different regional code from the unit, the mes-  
sage “Incorrect region code. Can’t play back” appears on the TV screen.  
DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW and CD-R/RW discs recorded using a personal  
computer or a DVD or CD Recorder may not play if the disc is damaged or  
dirty, or if there is dirt or condensation on the Unit’s lens.  
Remote Control Operation  
If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a  
compatible format, there are cases in which it may not play because of the  
settings of the application software used to create the disc. (Check with the  
software publisher for more detailed information.)  
Point the Remote Control at the remote sensor and press the buttons.  
Remote Control Battery Installation  
Remove the battery cover on the rear of the Remote Control, and insert R03  
(size AAA) battery with 3 and # matched correctly.  
This unit requires discs and recordings to meet certain technical standards  
in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are auto-  
matically set to these standards. There are many different types of record-  
able disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files) and these  
require certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to ensure compatible  
playback.  
Setting up the remote to control your TV  
You can operate your TV with the supplied remote control.  
If your TV is listed in the table below, set the appropriate manufacturer code.  
While holding down TV POWER button, and press the manufacturer code for  
your TV with the numerical buttons (see the table below). Release the TV  
POWER button to complete setting.  
Customers should note that permission is required in order to download

OUTPUT jack on the DVD recorder and other end to the AUDIO INPUT jack on

Digital TV is a transmission technology that replaces the traditional analogue  
technique.  
This means that several TV channels, radio channels and other digital services  
can be transmitted on the same space as just one analogue channel.  
As a consumer you get access to many more channels and services with  
perfect picture and audio quality.  
Connecting your recorder is just as simple as connecting an old VCR recorder.  
And by using a HDMI cable for connection you get the best picture quality to  
your TV-set. The best audio experience can be obtained by connecting an  
optical cable to your sound system.  
Coverage  
Before buying this product it is anticipated that you have made sure that there  
are digital transmissions covering your region.  
Antenna / Signal source  
You may decide to connect your DVD recorder to an indoor arial or an external  
arial. Either of the two can give you variances on the signal strength. If you live  
in a flat you should make sure that the digital terrestrial signals are distributed to  
your wall antenna outlet. If you have your own antenna system you must make  
sure that it is equipped with antennas, filter and/or amplifier that can handle  
those frequencies that the digital channels are transmitted on.  
If your television is a high-definition or “digital ready” television, you may take  
advantage of the unit’s progressive scan output for the highest video resolution  
possible. If your TV does not accept the Progressive Scan format, the picture  
will appear scrambled with the progressive signal.  
Set the resolution to 576p using the RES. button on the front panel of the DVD  
recorder to obtain the 576p progressive signal.  
Cable-TV  
Please observe that this recorder is not designed for the reception of regular  
digital cable-TV signals (QAM-signal). Despite this, operators of smaller cable  
networks may have chosen to distribute the digital terrestrial signals (COFDM-  
signal) in the network. In this case this recorder may be used.
