Connect the unit to a TV after considering the
capabilities of your existing equipment.
Before installation, unplug your TV and this
unit.
1 Connect the antenna or cable to the
ANTENNA IN jack of this unit.
2 Connect the TV-OUT jack of this unit
to the Aerial jack of your TV. Use the
supplied RF cable.
For video/audio connections, you can use
SCART cable, component cables or HDMI
cable (for HDMI-compatible TV).
A. Using the Scart socket
Connect AV1 (TO TV) Scart socket of
this unit to the Scart socket of your
TV. Use the supplied Scart cable.
Note
• Switch the input selector on your TV to an
appropriate external input channel.
• Connect this unit directly to the TV. If the AV cables
are connected to a VCR, pictures may be distorted
due to the copy protection system.
• When changing the “Active Video Output” setting to
“SCART(RGB)”, “Component (Interlace)” or
“Component (Progressive)”, connect to the
corresponding jack on the TV. If the setting is
changed, for example, to “Component (Interlace)” or
“Component (Progressive)” while the scart cable is
connected to the TV, a distorted video may be
output at Scart output for a short while.
• If the external equipment (e.g. cable box,
Canal+ decoder) is connected to AV2, the picture of
the external equipment will be output except during
the DVD playback of this unit. Turn off the external
equipment or press [DISPLAY] to output the picture
of this unit.
B.Using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT
jacks and the AUDIO OUT (ANALOG L\R)
jacks (for DVD or Tuner)
If your TV has Component Video input jacks, use a
Component Video cable and an Audio cable (to
connect the AUDIO OUT (ANALOG L\R) jacks).
• The progressive scan video quality is only available
when using Component connection and a
progressive scan TV. It provides superior picture
quality when watching DVD movies.
1 Connect the component video
cables (red/ blue/green - not
supplied) from the COMPONENT
VIDEO OUTPUT jacks of this unit to
the corresponding component video
input jacks (usually labelled as Y Pb/
Cb Pr/Cr or YUV) on the TV.
2 Connect the audio cable (red/white -
not supplied) from the AUDIO OUT
(ANALOG L\R) jacks of this unit to
the audio input jacks on your TV.
Note
• Switch the input selector on your TV to an
appropriate external input channel.
• After you have made the connections, set the
“Active Video Output” setting. (See pages 79 - 80.)
• The default setting is “SCART(RGB)”.
To enable component video connection, you must
set the unit's video output correctly.
1 Make an addition video connection from this unit
to your TV using the supplied Scart cable.
2 Turn on your TV to the correct viewing channel for
the Scart connection.
3 When you have completed the “Initial Setup”, set
“Active Video Output" to
“Component(Progressive)” in “HOME” menu.
• If your TV is not compatible with progressive scan,
set “Active Video Output” setting to “Component
(Interlace)”.
•
Use a commercially available adaptor if the Video input
jacks of your TVs or monitors are the BNC type.
• Only component and HDMI connections are
compatible with the Progressive Scan.

C. Connecting to a TV with an HDMI
Compatible Port (for DVD or Tuner)
[HDMI CONNECTION]
A simple 1-cable connection with a device having an
HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) connector
allows digital transfer of both digital video signals and
multi-channel audio signals. This is the best method
to connect this unit. It can minimise the deterioration
of image quality.
Use the HDMI cable (commercially available) for
connection.
Connect the HDMI output jack of this unit to the HDMI
input jack of TV.
Selecting HDMI mode
Press [HDMI] to select the HDMI output mode. The
output mode changes as follows every time [HDMI] is
pressed. 576p (PAL) / 480p (NTSC) J 720p J 1080i
J 1080p (An HDMI mode that is not supported by the
display device will be skipped.)
Actual Output Modes by Media
For Audio CD, Video CD and MP3 files, 2 channel
PCM will be output regardless of the “Dolby Digital”
setting.
If the connected device is not compatible with HDMI
BITSTREAM, audio will be output as PCM even if you
select “Stream” in “Dolby Digital” setting.
(See page 76.)
Copyright protection system
To play back the digital video images of a DVD via an
HDMI connection, it is necessary that both the player
and the display device (or an AV amplifier) support a
copyright protection system called HDCP
(high-bandwidth digital content protection system).
HDCP is copy protection technology that comprises
data encryption and authentication of the connected
AV device. This unit supports HDCP. Please read the
operating instructions of your display device
(or AV amplifier) for more information.
* HDMI: High Definition Multimedia Interface
Note
• Switch the input selector on your TV to an
appropriate external input channel.
• Some HDMI TVs/monitors from different
manufacturers may adhere to different standards
resulting in unreliable signal transfers.
• When using an HDCP-incompatible display device,
the image will not be viewed properly.
• Among the devices that support HDMI, some
devices can control other devices via the HDMI.
• The audio signals from the HDMI connector
(including the sampling frequency, the number of
channels and bit length) may be limited by the
device that is connected.
• Among the monitors that support HDMI, some do
not support audio output (for example, projectors).
In connection with device such as this unit, audio
signals are not output from the HDMI output
connector.
• When this unit’s HDMI connector is connected to a
DVI-D compatible monitor (HDCP compatible) with
an HDMI-DVI conversion cable, the signals are
output in digital RGB.

Information on Recording
This unit can record to DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD-RW
and DVD-R.
DVD+R/DVD-R can only be recorded to once.
DVD+RW/ DVD-RW can be recorded to and erased
many times.
DVD-RW/-R will be recorded in the DVD+VR mode
automatically in this unit.
• Following discs are recommended for good
recording quality and are proven to be compatible
with this unit.
However, depending on the media condition the unit
may not read the disc properly.
Performance of any other discs are not guaranteed.
• You can play back DVD+RW on most DVD
players without finalising. However, if you have
added or deleted chapters, or made chapters
hidden, you must perform “Make Edits
Compatible” before being able to see those
effects on other units. (Refer to page 72 for more
details.) To play back discs other than DVD+RW
on other DVD players, you will need to finalise.
• DVD-RW recorded in the mode other than +VR is
not recordable on this unit unless you erase all
contents in the disc (refer to page 71).
• DVD-R recorded in the mode other than +VR is not
recordable on this unit.
You can select a recording mode from 6 options.
The recording time will vary depending on the
recording mode you select as follows.
• The recording times are estimates and actual
recording time may differ.
• The audio and video quality gets poorer as the
recording time gets longer.
Note
• This unit cannot record on CD-RW or CD-R discs.
• DVD+RW/+R, DVD-RW/-R and CD-RW/-R discs
recorded on a personal computer or a DVD or CD
recorder may not be played back if the disc is
damaged or dirty or if there is condensation on the
recorder’s lens.
• If you record a disc using a personal computer, even
if it is recorded in a compatible format, it may not be
played back because of the settings of the
application software used to create the disc. (Check
with the software publisher for more detailed
information.)
• Since recording is performed using the Variable Bit
Rate (VBR) method, the actual remaining time for
recording may be a little shorter than the remaining
time displayed on the OSD, depending on the
picture you are recording.
• You can only record “Copy-once only” programme
on an internal HDD.

HDD is a special device which has high recording
density and is suited for long-time recording or high-
speed cueing but by contrast, has many factors which
can cause breakage. Use HDD on the premise that
you should dub the recorded programmes to a DVD
disc to protect your precious videos.
HDD is a temporary storage location:
HDD is not a permanent storage location of the
recorded contents. Be sure to use it as a temporary
storage location until you watch the programmes
once, edit them, or dub them to a DVD disc.
Be sure to dub (back up) data promptly if you find
abnormalities in HDD:
If there is mechanical trouble with the HDD, grinding
or other sounds may be heard or blocky noise may
appear on the image. If you continue to use as it is,
deterioration may continue and eventually the HDD
may not be used at all. If you notice any symptoms of
a failing HDD, promptly dub the data to a DVD disc.
When an HDD fails, recovery of recorded content
(data) may be impossible.
About the remaining capacity of HDD recording
time:
In recording to HDD, the Remaining Capacity Display
may differ from the actual recordable time as this unit
adopts Variable Bit Rate encoding, which varies the
recording (storage) amount of data in accordance
with the amount of information in the video signal.
Before recording to the HDD, ensure there is
sufficient space on the HDD by deleting unnecessary
titles in advance.
Use this feature to make the unfinalised +VR mode
discs recorded on other unit recordable on this unit.
When you make an additional recording on this unit
with “Make Rec. Compatible” set to “ON”, the title list
is automatically converted to this unit’s style.
1 In stop mode, press [HOME]. Select
“General Settings” using [U \ D],
then press [OK].
2 Select “Recording” using [U \ D],
then press [OK].
3 Select “Make Rec. Compatible”
using [U \ D], then press [OK].
4 Select “ON” or “OFF” using [U \ D],
then press [OK].
5 Press [HOME] to exit.
The unit inserts a chapter marker periodically (every 5
minutes by default) during recording. Using the “Auto
Chapter” menu, you can turn this function off or
change the time period.
1 In stop mode, press [HOME]. Select
“General Settings” using [U \ D],
then press [OK].
2 Select “Recording” using [U \ D],
then press [OK].
3 Select “Auto Chapter” using
[U \ D], then press [OK].
4 If you want to set “Auto Chapter” off,
select “OFF” using [U \ D], then
press [OK].
If you want to change the time period
for “Auto Chapter”, select the required
time period using [U \ D], then press
[OK].
5 Press [HOME] to exit.
Note
• The interval for auto chapter may be up to 2 minutes
different from the time option you set.
• While recording, no more chapter mark will be
added after coming up to the maximum chapter
mark number.

Glossary
Analogue audio
An electrical signal that directly
represents sound. In contrast,
digital audio can also be an
electrical signal, but is an indirect
representation of sound. See also
“Digital audio”.
Aspect ratio
The width of a TV screen relative to
its height. Conventional TVs are 4:3
(i.e., the screen is almost square).
Widescreen models are 16:9 (the
screen is almost twice as wide as its
height).
Chapter (HDD/DVD)
Just as a book is split up into
several chapters, a title on an HDD/
DVD is usually divided into
chapters. See also “Title(HDD/
DVD)”.
Component video output
Each signal of luminance(Y) and
component (P
B
/C
B
, P
R
/C
R
) is
independent to output so that you
can experience picture colour as it
is intended to be.
Also, due to compatibility with
progressive video (576p/480p), you
can experience high-definition
picture than that in interlace (576i/
480i signal).
Digital audio
An indirect representation of sound
using numbers. During recording,
the sound is measured at discrete
intervals (44,100 times a second for
CD audio) by an analogue-to-digital
converter, generating a stream of
numbers. On playback, a digital-to-
analogue converter generates an
analogue signal based on these
numbers. See also “Sampling
frequency” and “Analogue audio”.
Dolby Digital
A system developed by Dolby
Laboratories that compresses
digital sound. It works with stereo
(2ch) or multi-channel audio.
Finalise
To make DVDs that have been
recorded playable in DVD players. It
is possible to finalise DVD-RW/-R
and DVD+R discs with this unit.
HDMI
(High Definition Multimedia
Interface)
A digital interface between audio
and video source. It can transmit
component video, audio, and
control signal with one cable
connection.
JPEG
(Joint Photographic Experts
Group)
JPEG is a method of compressing
still image files. You can copy JPEG
files on CD-RW/-R discs from a
computer and play back the files on
this unit.
MP3
(MPEG Audio Layer 3)
MP3 is a method of compressing
files. You can copy MP3 files on
CD-RW/-R discs from a computer
and play back the files on this unit.
PBC (Video CD only)
(Playback Control)
This function enables you to play
back interactive software using a
menu screen. See also “Title (Video
CD)”.
PCM
(Pulse Code Modulation)
PCM is a format that converts audio
into digital data. It is mainly used for
Audio CDs and DAT. This unit can
play back sounds as realistic as
possible by converting even
compressed Dolby Digital and
MPEG audio to PCM.
Progressive Scan (576p/480p)
A type of display that does not split
each frame into fields, and instead
scans directly through all the
scanlines of each frame in order.
Progressive Scan provides less
flickering and higher image
resolution than traditional (576i/
480i) TV signals. Refer to pages 17
and 79 - 80 for instructions on the
Progressive Scan mode selection.
Region code
Regions associate discs and
players with particular areas of the
world. This unit will only play back
discs that have compatible region
codes. You can find the region code
of your unit by looking on the rear
panel. Some discs are compatible
with more than one region (or all
regions).
Sampling frequency
The rate at which sound is
measured by a specified interval to
turn it into digital audio data. The
number of samples in one second is
defined as the sampling frequency.
The higher the rate is, the better the
possible sound quality.
Title
(HDD/DVD)
A collection of chapters on an HDD/
DVD. See also “Chapter (HDD/
DVD)”.
(Video CD)
The contents of a Video CD. When
playing back a Video CD with the
PBC function, the Title Menu will
appear automatically.
Track
Audio CDs and Video CDs use
tracks to divide the contents of a
disc. The DVD equivalent is called a
chapter. See also “Chapter (HDD/
DVD)”.
Windows Media™ Audio
Windows Media™ Audio is the
audio compressing technology
developed by Microsoft. You can
copy Windows Media™ Audio files
on CD-RW/-R from a computer and
play them back on this unit.
