Frequently Asked Questions  
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  
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.  
Title  
DVD-ROM drives in computers.  
Chapter  
Title  
What is the capacity of a  
DVD recordable disc?  
4.7GB, or equivalent to 6CDs. 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 is DV?  
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.  
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.  
How good is the quality of the  
recording?  
–
You cannot connect more than one DV  
camcorder at a time to this recorder.  
You cannot control this recorder from  
There are six modes of record quality levels  
to choose from, ranging from “HQ” (1 hour  
recording at high quality) to “SLP” (6 hours  
recording at VHS quality) on a recordable  
DVD. Choose the quality level that best suits  
your purpose and the length of material.

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 cm (4”)  
clearance from the rear and the top of  
the set and 5 cm (2”) 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.

will have to disconnect some of the cables  
before you make the above connection.  
If your TV is equipped with an

You can connect the recorder to an AV  
amplifier/receiver in order to enjoy  
multichannel surround sound.  
This connection enables you to listen to  
the sound.  
Use a coaxial cable (not supplied) to

speakers (except subwoofer) should be  
placed at the same distance from the  
listening position.  
1 Place the front left and right speakers at  
equal distances from the TV and at an  
angle of approximately 45 degrees from  
the listening position.  
CAUTION!  
You should get a qualified person to  
attach the brackets to the wall. DO  
NOT do it by yourself to avoid  
unexpected damage to the  
equipment or injury to personnel.  
2 Place the center speaker above the TV or  
the AV receiver so that the center  
channel’s sound is localised.  
3 Place the rear speakers at normal  
listening ear level facing each other or  
mounted on the wall.  
Helpful Hints:  
– The rear speakers are labelled as REAR L  
(left) or REAR R (right).  
– The front speakers are labelled as  
FRONT L (left) or FRONT R (right).  
4 Place the subwoofer on the floor near  
the TV.  
Helpful Hints:  
– To avoid magnetic interference, do not  
position the front speakers too close to your  
TV.  
– Allow adequate ventilation around the AV  
receiver.

Glossary  
Analo  
gue: Sound that has not been turned  
Surround: A system for creating realistic  
three-dimensional sound fields full of realism  
by arranging multiple speakers around the  
listener.  
into numbers. Analogue sound varies, while  
digital sound has specific numerical values.  
These jacks send audio through two channels,  
the left and right.  
AUDIO OUT Jacks: Jacks on the back of  
the AV receiver that send audio to another  
system (TV, Stereo, etc.).  
Digital: Sound that has been converted into  
numerical values. Digital sound is available  
when you use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT  
COAXIAL or OPTICAL jacks.These jacks  
send audio through multiple channels, instead  
of just two channels as analogue does.  
Dolby Digital: A surround sound system  
developed by Dolby Laboratories capable of  
delivering up to 5.1 discrete channels of audio  
(front left and right, rear left and right, center,  
and LFE).  
Dolby Pro Logic II: It creates five full-  
bandwidth output channels from two-channel  
sources. Decode only systems that derive 5.1  
channels instead of the conventional 4  
channels of Dolby Pro Logic surround sound.  
Dolby Pro Logic Surround: It is a specially  
encoded two-channel analogue format that will  
produce sound through four speaker channels  
(front left, center, front right, mono surround)  
when a Dolby Pro Logic Decoder is used. It is  
also compatible with stereo systems but the  
user will only have two-channel (front left &  
right) of sound.  
DTS: DigitalTheatre Systems. This is a  
surround sound system, but it is different from  
Dolby Digital. The formats were developed by  
different companies.  
Multichannel: DVD is specified to have each  
sound track constitute one sound field.  
Multichannel refers to a structure of sound  
tracks having three or more channels.  
Super Audio CD (SACD): This audio  
format is based upon the current CD  
standards but includes a greater amount of  
information that provides higher quality sound.  
There are three types of discs: single layer,  
double layer and hybrid discs. The hybrid disc  
contains both standard audio CD and Super  
Audio CD information.
