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

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,

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 (4.5”)

clearance from the rear and the top of

the set and 5 cm (ꢀ.ꢁ”) 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.

5cm (2.3")

– 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.

10cm (4.5")

Step 1: Basic Recorder Connections

Connect the existing Antenna/Cable TV

signal (or from the Cable Box/Satellite

Receiver {RF OUT or TO TV}) to the

ANTENNA IN jack on the recorder.

Connecting the antenna

cables

These connections enable you to watch

and record TV programs using this

recorder. If the antenna 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 programs.

Use the supplied RF coaxial cable to

connect the ANTENNA OUT jack on

the recorder to the antenna input jack on

your TV (VHF/UHF RF IN.)

Helpful Hint:

– Depending on how you have currently

connected your TV channel (directly from an

off-air antenna or Cable box or VCR), you

will have to disconnect some of the cables

before you make the above connection.

If you want to connect to a VCR

and/or Cable Box/Satellite Receiver,

see page 18~ꢀ0 for the complete

connection to your TV.

TIPS: Before making or changing any connections, make sure that all the devices are disconnected

from the power outlet.

VIDEO OUT [Y PB PR] jacks on the

recorder to the corresponding

component VIDEO Input jacks (or

labeled as Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr or YUV) on the

TV.

This connection enables you to view the

disc playback from the recorder.

You only need to choose one of the

options below to make your video

connection.

Option 1: UsingVideo (CVBS) jack

(good picture quality)

If your TV accepts Progressive Scan

signal, see page 6ꢁ for detailed

Progressive Scan set up.

Use the supplied audio/video cable

(yellow plug) to connect the VIDEO

OUT [CVBS] jack on the recorder to

the VIDEO Input jack (or labeled as A/

V In, Video In or Composite) on the TV.

IMPORTANT!

The progressive scan video quality is

only available through a YPBPR

connection and a progressive TV is

required. It is strongly advised to

complete the recorder installation

ﬁrst, before enabling the progressive

scan feature.

Option 2: Using S-Video jack

(excellent picture quality)

Use an S-video cable (not supplied) to

connect the VIDEO OUT [S-VIDEO]

jack on the recorder to the S-VIDEO

Input jack (or labeled as Y/C or S-VHS)

on the TV.

order to enjoy the stereo sound system.

Before you start operating, set the audio

settings accordingly (see page 65.)

If the AUDIO settings do not match your

ampliﬁer’s capabilities, the ampliﬁer may

produce a strong, distorted sound or no

sound at all.

Use the supplied audio cable (red/white

ends) to connect the AUDIO OUT[L,

input jacks.

Helpful Hint:

– Do not connect your TV’s audio output

jacks to the AUDIO L/R (IN-EXT) jacks

on this recorder, this may cause unwanted

noise.

Option 1

If your Cable Box/Satellite Receiver

has only an antenna output jack

(RF OUT or TO TV),

refer to “Connecting the antenna cables”

on page 14 for the complete connection

to your TV.

Use the supplied RF coaxial cable to

connect the ANTENNA IN jack on the

recorder to the RF OUT jack on the

Cable Box/Satellite Receiver.

Use a RF coaxial cable to connect the

ANTENNA OUT jack on the

recorder to the Antenna input jack on

your TV (VHF/UHF RF IN.)

Use the audio/video cables to connect

the VIDEO/AUDIO IN on the

recorder to the matching VIDEO/

Helpful Hints:

IMPORTANT!

– Most commercial video cassettes and

DVDs are copy-protected and therefore

cannot be recorded.

– Connect the recorder directly to the

TV. If there is a VCR or an additional device

in between, the picture quality may be poor

because of the copy protection system built

into the recorder.

Your new recorder can replace the

VCR for all your recording needs.

Just unplug all the connections to

your VCR.

Connect the Antenna/Cable TV signal to

the ANTENNA IN jack on the

recorder.

Use a RF coaxial cable to connect the

DV OUT

Option 2: Using the S-VIDEO In or

VIDEO In jack

Connecting a camcorder to

the front jacks

Use the S-VIDEO connection if you have a

Hi8 or S-VHS(C) camcorder. It provides

good picture quality.

You can use the front jacks to copy

camcorder recordings. These jacks are

located behind the ﬂap on the right hand

side and provides convenient connections

Alternatively, you can use the VIDEO

connection if your camcorder has only a

single video output (Composite Video,

CVBS.)

for a camcorder.

Option 1: Using the

DV IN jack

Use this connection if you have a Digital

Video or Digital 8 camcorder. The DV

jack conforms to the i.LINK standard.

It provides the best picture quality.

Connect the S-VIDEO or VIDEO jack

on the front panel of the recorder to the

corresponding S-VHS or Video output

jack on the camcorder.

Use an audio cable (red/white ends) to

connect the AUDIO L/R jacks on the

front panel of the recorder to the Audio

output jacks on the camcorder.

Use an i.LINK 4-pin cable (not supplied)

to connect the DV IN jack on the

recorder to the appropriate DV OUT

jack on the camcorder.

Before you start operating, press DV/

USB on the remote to select ‘DV’ as the

input channel. For recording, see pages

ꢀ7~ꢁ7.

Before you start operating, press

SOURCE on the remote control

repeatedly to select ‘FP-CVBS’ or ‘FP-

SVIDEO’ as the input channel, depending

on your connections. For recording, see

pages ꢁꢁ~ꢁ4.

Helpful Hints:

– The DV IN jack does not support a

connection to a Personal Computer.

– It is not possible to record from the

recorder to your camcorder via the DV IN

jack on your recorder.

TIPS: Before making or changing any connections, make sure that all the devices are disconnected from the power

outlet.

Record on DVD Recordable Disc

IMPORTANT!

Unrecordable pictures

Discs for recording

Television programs, ﬁlms, video tapes,

discs, and other materials may be

copy-protected and therefore cannot be

recorded on this recorder.

There are several formats of DVD

recordable 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 disc.

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 ﬁnalized.

– To play a DVD R disc on another

DVD player, it must be ﬁnalized (see page

56.) 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.
