Important notes for users in U.K.
Mains plug
This apparatus is tted 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 Re t the fuse cover.
If the tted plug is not suitable for your socket
outlets, it should be cut off and an
appropriate plug tted 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 off 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.

10cm (4")
10cm (4")
5cm (2")
5cm (2")
Avoid high temperature, moisture,
water and dust
– Apparatus should not be exposed to
any dripping or splashing.
– Do not place any object or items that
can damage the apparatus (e.g., liquid

Cleaning discs
Some problems occur (frozen picture,

because the disc in the apparatus is dirty.
To avoid these problems, discs should be
cleaned on a regular basis.
To clean a disc, use a micro bre cleaning
cloth and wipe the disc from centre to
the edge in straight line movement.
CAUTION!
Do not use solvents such as benzene,

Step 1: Basic Recorder Connections
Connecting the antenna
cables
These connections enable you to watch
and record TV programmes using the
recorder. If the antenna signal is
connected via Cable Box or Satellite
Receiver, ensure that these devices are
turned on in order to watch or record
the cable programmes.
If you want to connect to a Cable
Box/Satellite Receiver, see the
chapter “Step 2 : Optional Connections
– Connecting to a Cable Box or Satellite
Receiver” for the complete connections
to your TV.
A
Connect the existing Antenna/Satellite
Receiver/Cable TV signal (labelled as RF
OUT or TO TV) to the ANTENNA
socket on the recorder.
B
Connect the supplied RF coaxial cable
from the TV socket on the recorder
to the antenna input socket (or labelled
as VHF/UHF RF IN) on your TV.
Helpful Hint:
– Depending on how you have connected
your TV channel (directly from an off-air
antenna or Cable box or VCR), you may have
to disconnect some of the cables before you
make the antenna connection.
TIPS: Before making or changing any connections, make sure that all the devices are disconnected
from the power outlet.

Recording
This recorder can record TV
programmes or copy content from an
external device to a DVD recordable disc
or VHS tape. The storage capacity of the
disc and tape are dependable on the
recording mode selected. This recorder
also incorporates timer recording
function which allows a scheduled
recording to be made.
Recording media
The recording media for this recorder
are DVD±R/±RW/+R DL and VHS tape.
DVD±RW (DVD Rewritable)
– Discs that are rewritable can be used for
multiple recordings once the existing data
is erased.
DVD±R (DVD 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 done on DVD±R discs as
long as they have not been nalised.
– To playback a DVD±R on other DVD
player, it must be nalised (see the
chapter “Editing/ Finalising Recording –
Playing your recordings (DVD±R) on
other DVD players”). After this is done,
no more data can be added to the disc.
DVD+R DL (DVD+R Double Layer)
– It contains the same usage as DVD+R, the
only difference is the capacity of 8.5 GB.
It offers two recordable layers on a single
DVD disc. The layers are accessible from
the same side of the disc, so recording
can occur completely uninterrupted.
Supported disc type and media
speeds
Disc
Media speeds
DVD+R 1x - 16x
DVD+RW 2.4x - 8x
DVD-R 1x - 16x
DVD-RW 2.4x - 6x
DVD+R DL 2.4x
Helpful Hints:
– It is normal to encounter noise when
recording to discs of higher media speeds.
– Avoid using discs with labels.
VHS Tape
– VHS tapes have record safety tabs to
ensure that recordings will not be
accidentally erased. To prevent
recording, break off the tab. To allow
recording, cover the hole of the tab with
clear tape.
– Without the record safety tab, the VHS
tape will start playback once your insert
the VHS tape into the tape slot.
– The VCR automatically marks the tape
with an index signal at the point where
each recording begins.

What kind of disc should I use for
recording?
You can record on DVD±R, DVD±RW
or DVD+R DL discs. They are
compatible with DVD-Video players and
DVD-ROM drives in computers.
What is the capacity of a DVD±R/
+RW disc?
4.7GB, or equivalent to six CDs. You can
store only one hour of recordings on a
single disc at the highest quality (DVD
standard) and about 6 hours recording at
the lowest quality (VHS standard). The
recording mode indicates the number of
hours that will t 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, record multiple sessions on the
same disc, but when the disc is full, no
more recordings can be made to the disc.
The DVD±RW allows you to record
over the same disc repeatedly.
How do I check the remaining space
available on a recordable DVD disc?
In disc menu mode, press REC MODE on
the remote control repeatedly to display
the remaining recording time in different
recording mode.
What is DV?
Using DV, also known as i.LINK, connect
a DV-equipped camcorder to this
recorder using a single DV cable for input
and output of audio, video, data and
control signals.
– This recorder is only compatible with
DV-format (DVC-SD) camcorders.
Digital satellite tuners and Digital VHS
video recorders are not compatible.
– Never connect more than one DV
camcorder at a time to this recorder.
– Avoid controlling this recorder from
the external equipment connected via the
DV IN socket.
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.

67
Frequently Asked Questions (continued)
How do I set up Titles and
Chapters?
The 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-minute
intervals.
What does “ nalising” a disc mean?
Finalising a disc locks the disc so it can no
longer be recorded upon, only required
for DVD±R. It will then be compatible
with any DVD player. To close a disc
without nalising it, simply stop recording
and eject the disc. You will still be able to
record on the disc if there is room for
more recordings.
How good is the quality of the
recording?
There are a few quality levels to choose
from, ranging from “1 hour mode” (High
Quality) to “6 hours mode” (Super Long
Play). Press REC MODE button on the
remote control to choose the quality
level that best suits your purpose and the
length of material.
