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 centre

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).

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 hard disk drive (HDD) has a high

storage density that enables long

recording duration and high speed data

access. Depending on the setup

environment and handling, some content

may be damaged resulting in failure of

playback and recording. To avoid damage

to the HDD and losing important data,

observe following precautions:

– Do not move the recorder or subject

it to vibration.

– Do not remove the AC power plug

from the mains socket without switching

the recorder to standby mode.

Avoid high temperatures, moisture,

water and dust

– Apparatus must not be exposed to

dripping or splashing.

– Do not place any sources of danger

on the apparatus (e.g., liquid ﬁlled

objects, lighted candles).

You can use the front sockets to copy

camcorder recordings. These sockets are

located behind the ﬂap on the right hand

side and provides convenient connections

for a camcorder.

Option 1: Using the DV IN socket

Use this connection if you have a Digital

Video or Digital 8 camcorder. The DV

socket conforms to the i.LINK standard.

IMPORTANT!

Unrecordable pictures

Discs for recording

Television programmes, ﬁlms, video

tapes, discs, and other materials may be

copy-protected and therefore cannot be

recorded on this recorder.

There are several formats of recordable

DVD discs which can be used with this

recorder:

Copying from HDD to a

recordable DVD

DVD RW (DVD ReWritable discs)

– Discs that are rewritable can be used

for multiple recordings once the existing

data has been erased.

You can copy a recorded title(s) from the

HDD (hard disk drive) to a recordable

DVD.

The time taken to copy content from the

HDD to a recordable DVD depends on

the record quality of the HDD

recordings.

DVD R (DVD Recordable discs)

– Discs that 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 made on DVD R discs

as long as they have not been ﬁnalised.

– To play a DVD R disc on another

DVD player, it must be ﬁnalised (see the

section “Playing your recordings

(DVD R) on other DVD players”) After

this is done, no more content can be

added to the disc.

It is not possible to change the mode of

record quality during the copying

process. As such, it is important that you

choose the appropriate record quality

when you ﬁrst set up the recording to

the HDD.

The copying process is done at a higher

speed than the recording. The following

information will be stored on the disc :

– Title/name of recording

– Date of recording

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of disc should I use for

recording?

You can only record on both DVD R and

DVD RW discs. They are compatible with

DVD-Video players and DVD-ROM drives in

computers.

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

What is the capacity of a

DVD recordable disc?

Chapter

Title

4.7GB, or equivalent to 6 CDs. You can store

only one hour of recordings on a single disc at

the highest quality (DVD standard) and about

8 hours recordings at the lowest quality

(VHS standard).

Chapter Chapter Chapter Chapter

chapter markers

What is the difference between

DVD R and DVD RW?

A programme is recorded as a single title, it

may consist of one chapter or a few chapters

within a title, depending on the recording

settings.

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?

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.

What does “ﬁnalising” a disc do?

Finalising a disc locks the disc so it can no

longer be recorded, only required for

DVD Rs. It will then be compatible with

virtually 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 capacity for more

recordings.

– 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 any one time to this recorder.

– You cannot control this recorder from

external equipment connected via the

DV IN socket.

How good is the quality of the

recording?

There are seven modes of record quality levels

to choose from, ranging from “HQ” (1 hour

recording at high quality) to “SEP” (8 hours

recording at VHS quality) on a recordable

DVD. Choose the quality level that best suits

your purpose and the length of material.

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.
