Important notes for users in the U.K.
Mains plug
This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13
Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug
proceed as follows:
1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362
5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3 Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket
outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate
plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should
have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse
is used, the fuse at the distribution board
should not be greater than 5 Amp.
Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to
avoid a possible shock hazard should it be
inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with
the following code: blue = neutral (N),
brown = live (L).
As these colours may not correspond with the
colour markings identifying the terminals in your
plug, proceed as follows:
– Connect the blue wire to the terminal
marked N or coloured black.
– Connect the brown wire to the terminal
marked L or coloured red.
– Do not connect either wire to the earth
terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or
coloured green (or green and yellow).
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain
that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of
the lead - not simply over the two wires.

What kind of disc should I use for
recording?
You can only record on 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
DVD-ROM drives in computers.
What is the capacity of a DVD+R/+RW
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).
The recording mode indicates the number of
hours that will fit on a single disc.
What is the difference between DVD+R
and DVD+RW?
DVD+R is “recordable” and DVD+RW is
“erasable” and “rewritable”. With a DVD+R,
you can record multiple sessions on the same
disc, but when the disc is full, you cannot
record any more on the disc. The DVD+RW
allows you to record over the same disc
repeatedly.
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.
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
Chapter
Title
Chapter Chapter Chapter Chapter
chapter markers
Programmes are recorded as a single title, it
may consist of one chapter or a few chapters
within a title, depending on the recording
settings.
How do I set up Titles and Chapters?
The DVD recorder automatically creates a
new Title every time you start a new
recording. You can then add Chapters to these
recordings manually or have them
automatically inserted at 5-minutes intervals.
What does “finalising” a disc do?
Finalising a disc locks the disc so it can no
longer be recorded, only required for DVD+R.
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 storage space for more recordings.
How good is the quality of the
recording?
There are a few picture quality levels to
choose from, ranging from “1 hour mode”
(High Quality) to “6 hours mode” (VHS
quality). Press REC MODE button on the
remote control to choose the quality level that
best suits your purpose and the length of
material.

Cleaning discs
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.
To clean a disc, use a micro fibre cleaning
cloth and wipe the disc from the center
to the edge in a straight line.
CAUTION!
Do not use solvents such as benzene,
thinner, commercially available cleaners,
or anti-static sprays intended for analog
discs.
Since the optical unit (laser) of the DVD
recorder operates at a higher power than
regular DVD or CD players, cleaning CDs
intended for DVD or CD players may
damage the optical unit (laser). Therefore,
refrain from using a cleaning CD.

Recording
Discs for recording
Two different formats of DVD recordable
discs can be used with this DVD
recorder:
DVD+RW (DVD ‘plus’ ReWritable)
– Discs that are re-writable can be used
for multiple recordings once existing data
is erased.
DVD+R (DVD ‘plus’ Recordable)
– Discs 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 any DVD+R
discs as long as they have not been
finalised. It is also possible to create
additional chapter markers.
– You can also delete unwanted
recordings. However, the disc space
occupied by the deleted recordings
cannot be recovered for further
recording.
– To play a DVD+R on other DVD
player, it must be finalised (
see page 36
“Playing your recordings (DVD+R) on
other DVD players”). After this is done,
no more data can be added to the disc.
IMPORTANT!
Unrecordable pictures
Television programmes, films, video tapes,
discs, and other materials may be
copy-protected and therefore cannot be
recorded on this recorder.

About timer recording
Use ‘Timer Recording’ to automatically
start and stop a recording at a later date/
time. The DVD recorder will tune to the
right programme channel and begin
recording at the specified time.
With this DVD recorder, you can
preprogramme up to 8 recordings.
To make a timer recording, your
DVD recorder needs to know:
– The date you want to make the
recording.
– The recording input source.
– The start and stop time of the
recording.
– The recording mode, see page 28.
TIMER
OK
About ‘VPS/PDC’
‘VPS’ (Video Programming System) or
‘PDC’ (Programme Delivery Control) is
used to control the start and duration of
TV channel recordings. If a TV programme
starts earlier or ends later than was
scheduled, the DVD recorder will then
switch on and off at the correct time.
If you want to programme a time that is
different from the VPS/PDC time, you
must turn off VPS/PDC.
TIPS: Ensure that there is sufficient space available on the DVD+R/+RW before recording.
You have to finalise the DVD+R before it can be played on other players, see page 36.

Troubleshooting (continued)
The picture is distorted or
black and white during
playback.
Recordings are not
occurring as scheduled.
New recordings cannot be
made.
No TV signal received from
the DVD recorder.
A DVD+R/+RW recorded on
this DVD recorder does not
play on a DVD player.
Picture is fuzzy and
brightness varies when
copying DVD Video discs or
prerecorded video cassettes.
– The disc does not match with the TV colour system
standard (PAL/NTSC).
– The disc is dirty, clean the disc.
– Do not tie the cables of the connected equipments together.
– Sometimes a small amount of picture distortion may
appear. This is not a malfunction.
– If you set the Record Mode to a low-quality speed,
change to a higher-quality speed after you finish
recording. Leaving the DVD recorder set to a low-
quality speed may affect the picture quality when playing
DVDs later. Read chapter “Recording - Recording
settings” for details.
– The recording can be made in colour only when the TV
channels or the connected additional device sends a
colour signal. In some situations, programmes that are
broadcast in black and white cannot be recorded.
– The TV channel you want to record is not stored or
you selected the wrong programme number. Check TV
channels stored.
– If you adjust the clock after you set a timer recording,
you have to reset the timer recording.
– If the DVD recorder cannot read the disc, you cannot
record.
– You cannot use the DVD recorder to duplicate
copyrighted materials (DVDs or videotapes) onto a
DVD+R/+RW.
– A finalised DVD+R has been inserted. Change disc.
– Install the TV channel. Read chapter “Step 4 : TV
channel programming” for details.
– If a recording is too short, it is possible that a DVD
player cannot detect it. Please observe the following
‘minimum recording times’. Recording mode : {1 hour} –
5 minutes, {2 hours} – 10 minutes, {4 hours} – 20
minutes, {6 hours} – 30 minutes.
– You have to finalise the DVD+R. Refer to chapter
“Playing your recordings (DVD+R) on other DVD
players” for details.
– This happens if you try to copy DVDs or video cassettes
that have been copy-protected. Even though the picture
on the TV is fine, but the recording on a DVD+R/+RW
is faulty. This interference is unavoidable with copy-
protected DVDs or video cassettes.
– The DVD+R/+RW has recording lifetime, please change
a new disc for recording.
