About the internal hard disk drive

The internal hard disk drive (HDD) is a fragile piece of equipment. Please use the recorder following the guidelines below to protect against possible HDD failure.

We recommend that you back up your important recordings onto DVD discs in order to protect against accidental loss.

• Do not move the recorder while it is on.
• Install and use the recorder on a stable, level surface.
• Do not block the rear vent/cooling fan.
• Do not use the recorder in excessively hot or humid places, or in places that may be subject to sudden changes in temperature. Sudden changes in temperature can cause condensation to form inside the recorder. This can be a cause of HDD failure.
• While the recorder is switched on, do not unplug from the wall socket or switch the electricity off from the breaker switch.

• Do not move the recorder immediately after switching it off. If you need to move the recorder, please follow the steps below:

• After the message POWER OFF is shown in the display, wait at least two minutes.

• Unplug from the wall socket.

• Move the recorder.

• If there's a power failure while the recorder is on there is a chance that some data on the HDD will be lost.

• The HDD is very delicate. If used improperly or in an unsuitable environment, it is possible that the HDD will fail after a few years of use. Signs of problems include playback unexpectedly freezing and noticeable block noise (mosaic) in the picture. However, sometimes there will be no warning signs of HDD failure.

If the HDD fails, no playback of recorded material will be possible. In this case it will be necessary to replace the HDD unit.

General about connection Picture and sound

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 channel took up before. As a consumer you get access to many more channels and services than before at the same time as they are received with perfect picture and audio quality.

The recorder converts the digital signal into a format that is suitable for your TV and sound system.

Connecting your recorder is just as simple as connecting for example a video recorder. You get the best picture quality by using a HDMI cable for connection to your TV-set. The best audio experience is 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

Depending on the reception your recorder may be connected to a simple indoor antenna or to an existing outdoor antenna system. 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.

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 well be used.

Check with your landlord if you are insecure about what type of TV-signal that is provided in the wall antenna outlet.

Connecting to the antenna

Remove the antenna cable plug from your TV set and insert it into the antenna socket at the back of the recorder. Plug one end of the antenna cable into the TV socket on the recorder and the other end into the antenna input socket on your TV set.

Caution

The ANTENNA IN jack supply the antenna feed (DC 5V/100mA) and the antenna feed is switchable via setup menu. If your digital antenna is not an active antenna, you must set the [Antenna feed 5V] option to [OFF].

RF coaxial connection

Connect the ANTENNA OUT jack on the recorder to the antenna input jack on the TV using the 75-ohm Coaxial Cable supplied (R). The ANTENNA OUT jack passes the signal through from the ANTENNA IN jack.

Tips

• Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish to connect, there are various ways you could connect the recorder. Use only one of the connections described below.
• Please refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo System or other devices as necessary to make the best connections.

Caution

• Make sure the recorder is connected directly to the TV. Tune the TV to the correct video input channel.
• Do not connect the recorder's AUDIO OUTPUT jack to the phono in jack (record deck) of your audio system.
• Do not connect your recorder via your VCR. The DVD image could be distorted by the copy protection system.

Recording

About DVD recording

Notes:

• This recorder cannot make recordings on CD-R or CD-RW discs.
• Our company takes no responsibility for recording failure due to power outages, defective discs, or damage to the Recorder.
• Fingerprints and small scratches on a disc can affect playback and/or recording performance. Please take proper care of your discs.

Disc types and recording formats, modes, and settings

This recorder can play various kinds of DVD discs: pre-recorded DVD-Video discs, DVD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RAM, DVD+RW and DVD+R discs. The disc format for DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RW discs is always "Video format"—the same as pre-recorded DVD-Video discs. This means that once finalized, you can play a DVD-R, DVD+R, or DVD+RW in a regular DVD player. The DVD-RAM disc format is Video Recording (VR) format. You can change DVD-RW disc format to Video or Video Recording (VR) format, if required. (Reinitializing the disc will erase the contents of the disc.)

The recording mode is closely related to the disc format. If the disc format is Video Recording format, then the recording mode is VR mode; if the disc format is Video mode, then the recording mode is Video mode (except for DVD-Video, which is not recordable, and so does not have a recording mode). Within the recording modes (which are fixed for them whole disc) are the record settings. These can be changed as required for each recording and determine the picture quality and how much space the recording will take up on the disc.

About HDD recording

Recording to the internal hard disk drive (HDD) is basically similar to recording to a VR mode DVD-RW disc. You have the full choice of recording quality options, including the manual mode, and of course you can record, erase and re-record as many times as you like. The capacity of the hard disk drive means that you can store many hours of video on it, even in the higher quality recording modes. To help you organize the contents, the HDD is divided into ten genre. You can name and use these genres as you like—for example, you might have a genre for movies, another for TV shows, and one for camcorder recordings.

Notes for recording

• The maximum number of titles that can be recorded on the HDD is 255.
• Using the HDD allows you to record a maximum of 12 hours continuously.
• You cannot record a radio channel and teletext.
• The recording times shown are not exact because the recorder uses variable bit-rate video compression. This means that the exact recording time will depend on the material being recorded.
• When recording a TV broadcast, if the reception is poor or the picture contains interference, the recording times may be shorter.
• If you record still pictures or audio only, the recording time may be longer.
• The displayed times for recording and time remaining may not always add up to exactly the length of the disc.
• The recording time available may decrease if you heavily edit a disc.
• If using a DVD-RW disc, make sure you change the recording format (Video mode or VR mode) before you record anything on the disc. See page 25 (Disc Format) for how to do this.
• When using a DVD-R or DVD+R disc, you can keep recording until the disc is full, or until you finalize the disc. Before you start a recording session, check the amount of recording time left on the disc.
• When using a DVD-RW disc in Video mode, recording time available will only increase if you erase the last title recorded on the disc.
• The Delete Title option in the Title List (Original) menu only hides the title, it does not actually erase the title from the disc and increase the recording time available (except for the last recorded title on a DVD-RW disc in Video mode).
• When using a DVD+R/RW, the recorder will execute the Menu-making operation to update the new title and editing when removing the disc from the recorder or turn off the recorder. So you must remove the disc after selecting the recorder's operation mode to DVD mode.
• The recordable time of MLP mode with DVD+R DL discs is about 11 hours which is similar to single layer discs, because the resolution of DVD+R DL disc is higher than that of single layer disc.
• This unit can record TV program to HDD only. If you try to record TV program in DVD mode, the unit automatically change the mode to HDD then start recording.
• In DTV tuner mode, this unit does not record the black screen such as no signal, rating blocked, or scrambled channel, etc.
• During recording, the unit will stop recording automatically if the unrecordable condition continues more than an hour. (for example, no signal, scrambled channel, etc.)

Editing

Title List and Chapter List Menu Overview

Using the Title List menu you can edit video content. The editing features available in the Title List menu depend on whether you are editing video on DVD, or the HDD, and whether you're editing Original content, or a Playlist.

There are two ways to edit VR mode DVD-RW discs. You can directly edit the Original content of the disc, or you can create and edit a Playlist. The Playlist doesn't actually change any of the content on the disc, but just controls how the content is played back.

Editing material recorded on the HDD is similar to editing the Original content of a VR mode DVD-RW, with similar commands for erasing and naming titles, as well as fine control over the content of chapters within titles for DVD disc.

Note:

During recording, if you display the Title List menu for the HDD, some of the titles may appear with a mark. These titles were recorded with a Line Input setting different to the current setting of the recorder. During recording, these titles cannot be played.

1. Press MENU/LIST to display the Title List menu. Playback should be stopped when you do this.
2. If you press MENU/LIST when [MPEG4] option is set to [ON] in HDD mode, the [Movie List] menu will appear.
3. You can also access it using HOME menu, select [MOVIE] option then select [HDD] or [DVD] option and press ENTER.
4. When selecting titles, use the ▲ / ▼ buttons to display the previous/next page if there are more than six titles.
5. If you are editing a VR mode disc, press MENU/LIST to switch between Original and Playlist menu.

On the left side of the screen are the menu options. The main part of the screen shows thumbnails of the titles (or chapter) on the DVD or HDD. You can change these thumbnails using the THUMBNAIL button—see Changing Title Thumbnails on page 51.

Press DISPLAY to display the information of selected title on the Title List menu.

After selecting a title or chapter on the Title List or Chapter List menu, then press ENTER. The menu options appears on the left side of the menu. Use ▲ / ▼ to select a option then press ENTER to confirm your selection.

1. To exit the Title List menu, press RETURN (💡) repeatedly.

HDD, VR Mode: Original and Playlist Editing

Titles, Chapters and Parts

Titles in the disc's original content contain one or more chapters. When you insert a disc's title into the Playlist, all the chapters within that title also appear. In other words, chapters in the Playlist behave exactly as chapters on a DVD-Video disc do. Parts are sections of Original or Playlist titles. From the Original and Playlist menu you can add or delete parts. Adding a chapter or title to the Playlist creates a new title made up of a section (ie., chapter) of an Original title. Deleting a part removes part of a title from the Original or Playlist menu.

Caution

• When editing using the Delete, Add and Move functions, the start and end frames may not be exactly as set in the start and end point display.
• During Playlist playback, you may notice a momentary pause between edits. This is not a malfunction.

Is editing a DVD like editing a video tape?

No. When you edit a video tape you need one video deck to play the original tape and another to record the edits. With DVD, you edit by making a 'Playlist' of what to play and when to play it. On playback, the Recorder plays the disc according to the Playlist.

About word 'Original' and 'Playlist'

Throughout this manual, you will often see the words Original and Playlist to refer to the actual content and the edited version.

• Original: content refers to what's actually recorded on the disc.
• Playlist: content refers to the edited version of the disc — how the Original content is to be played.

Adding Chapter Markers

You can create chapters within a title by inserting chapter marks at the desired points.

During playing back, at the point you want to start a new chapter, press CHP ADD.

A chapter marker icon appears on the TV screen.

Notes:

• Chapter markers are inserted at regular intervals automatically. You can change this interval from the Initial Setup menu (see "Auto Chapter" on page 24).
• You can add up to 24 chapters to one HDD title.
• All chapter markers are erased if you edit the HDD title (Delete Part, Divide, Combine)

Changing the Title Thumbnails

Each title displayed in the Title List menu is represented by a thumbnail picture taken from the start of that title or chapter.

If you prefer, select a different still picture from within a title.

Press THUMBNAIL to make the currently displayed picture the one that appears in the Title List menu. The still picture that you choose appears in both the Original or Playlist menu.

Tip:

You can also change the thumbnail picture of the title on the Chapter List menu of VR mode DVD-RW and DVD-RAM disc. Select a chapter on the Chapter List menu then press THUMBNAIL. The thumbnail picture of the title that includes the chapter is changed.

Making a New Playlist

Dubbing

Before Dubbing

Use the copying features of this recorder to:

• Back up important recordings stored on the HDD to a DVD.
• Make a DVD copy of a recording on the HDD to play in another player.
• Transfer video from a DVD to the HDD for editing.
• Transfer edited video from the HDD to DVD.

The simplest method of copying is to use the One Touch Copy feature. Using this you can very simply copy the title that's currently playing from HDD to DVD, or the other way around.

Note:

If the title's length is less than 5 seconds, the dubbing is not available. (from HDD to DVD)

Restrictions on copying

Some video material is copy-once protected: Such material cannot be copied to HDD or DVD.

You can identify copy-once protected material during playback by displaying disc information on-screen.

• NTSC format signals from the analog or the DV inputs is not recorded correctly with this recorder.
• Video signals in SECAM format (from the built-in TV tuner or from the analog inputs) are recorded in PAL format.

What is 'CPRM'?

CPRM is a copy protection system (with scramble system) only allowing the recording of 'copy once' broadcast programs. CPRM stands for Content Protection for Recordable Media.

CPRM recordings can only be made on DVD-RW discs formatted in VR mode or DVD-RAM discs, and CPRM recordings can only be played on players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.

Fast copying (Maximum 12x)

Copying between DVD and HDD is a completely digital process and therefore involves no loss of quality in the audio or video. This means that you can transfer back and forth without having to worry about the quality getting worse with each copy 'generation'. It also means that copying can be carried out at the maximum speed possible.

When copying from HDD to DVD, the speed of copying depends on the recording mode and the kind of DVD disc you're using.

Minimum fast copying times

The table below shows the minimum HDD to DVD copying time for 2 hours of video recorded with SP mode.

Disc Type Speed (Record Speed)	Disc Copying	Time
DVD-R / DVD+R 16x 6.5 min. (12x)

DVD+R / DVD+RW / DVD+R DL	2.4x	21 min. (2.4x)
DVD-R / DVD-RW / DVD-RAM	2x 25 min. (2x)

Notes:

Playing Your Recordings on Other DVD Players (Finalizing a Disc)

Most regular DVD players can play finalized discs recorded in Video mode, finalized DVD+R or DVD+RWs. A small number of players can also play DVD-RW discs recorded in VR mode, finalized or not. Check the manual that came with the other player to check what formats of discs it will play.

Finalizing 'fixes' the recordings and editings in place so that the disc can be played on a regular DVD player or computer equipped with a suitable DVD-ROM drive.

Finalizing a Video mode disc creates a menu screen for navigating the disc. The menu can be accessed by pressing MENU/LIST or TITLE.

To finalize a disc, refer to "Finalize" on page 25.

Notes:

• Unfinalized DVD+RW is playable on regular DVD players.
• The edited contents of a DVD+RW disc is compatible on regular DVD players only after finalization.
• Any edited contents of the DVD+R disc are not compatible on regular DVD players. (Hide, chapter combine, added chapter mark, etc.)
• How long finalization takes depends on the type of disc, how much is recorded on the disc, and the number of titles on the disc.
• DVD+R DL disc can take up to 30 minutes to finalize.
