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 inside the unit 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 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 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.  
CAUTION!  
Do not use solvents such as benzene,  
thinner, commercially available cleaners,  
or anti-static sprays intended for discs.  
Since the optical unit (laser) of the  
recorder operates at a higher power than  
regular DVD or CD players, cleaning  
CDs intended for DVD or CD players  
may damage the optical unit (laser).  
Therefore, refrain from using a cleaning  
CD.  
Space for ventilation  
– Place the apparatus in a location with  
adequate ventilation to prevent internal  
heat build up. Allow at least 10 cm (4”)  
clearance from the rear and the top of  
the set and 5cm (2”) from the left and  
right to prevent overheating.  
About recycling

water and dust  
These operating instructions have been  
printed on non-polluting paper. This  
electronic equipment contains a large  
number of materials that can be recycled.  
If you are disposing of an old machine,  
please take it to a recycling center. Please  
observe the local regulations regarding  
disposal of packaging materials, exhausted  
batteries, and old equipment.  
– Apparatus shall not be exposed to  
dripping or splashing.

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

need to choose only one of the options  
below to make your video connection.  
Audio connection is required in order  
to hear the sound, see next section  
“Connecting the audio cables”.  
Option 1: Using a SCART cable  
Use the SCART cable to connect the  
EXT1 TO TV-I/O socket on the  
recorder to the corresponding SCART  
input socket on the TV.  
Option 3: Using aVideo (CVBS)  
cable  
Use a composite video cable (yellow -  
not supplied) to connect the VIDEO  
(CVBS) OUTPUT socket on the  
recorder to the video input socket (or  
labelled as A/V In, Video In, Composite  
or Baseband) on the TV.  
Audio connection is required in order  
to hear the sound, see next section  
“Connecting the audio cables”.  
Helpful Hints:  
– If your TV set has several SCART sockets,  
select the SCART socket that is suitable for  
both video output and video input.  
– If your TV set displays a selection for the  
SCART socket, select ‘VCR’ as the source for  
the SCART socket.  
– The EXT2 AUX-I/O socket is intended  
only for additional devices.  
TIPS: Before making or changing any connections, make sure that all the devices are disconnected  
from the power outlet.

DVD-RW  
DVD+R DL  
DVD RW (DVD Rewritable)  
– Discs that are rewritable can be used  
for multiple recordings once the existing  
data is erased.  
DVD R (DVD Recordable)  
– 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 play 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.  
DVD+R DL (DVD+R Double Layer)  
– Like the DVD+R, these discs can only  
be used for a single recording. The only  
difference is the capacity- 8.5GB. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions  
What kind of disc should I use for  
recording?  
You can only record on DVD R,  
DVD RW or DVD+R DL discs. They are  
compatible with DVD-Video players and  
DVD-ROM drives in computers.  
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 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 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).  
Title  
Chapter  
Title  
What is the difference between  
DVD R and DVD RW?  
DVD R is “recordable” and DVD RW is  
“rewritable”. With a DVD R, you can  
record multiple sessions on the same  
disc, but when the disc is full, you cannot  
record any more on the disc. The  
DVD RW allows you to record over the  
same disc repeatedly.  
Chapter Chapter Chapter Chapter  
chapter markers  
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.  
How do I check the remaining space  
available on a recordable DVD disc?  
In disc menu mode, press REC MODE on  
the remote control to display the  
remaining time available. (The length if  
time available depends on the mode of  
recording quality).  
How do I set up Titles and  
Chapters?  
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 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 socket.  
What does “finalising” a disc do?  
Finalising a disc locks the disc so it can no  
longer be recorded, 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.
