Important notes for users in the 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 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.

– Install this unit near the AC outlet and
where the AC power plug can be
reached easily.
Space for ventilation
– Place the apparatus in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent internal
heat build up. Allow at least 10 cm (4”)
clearance from the rear and the top of
the set and 5cm (2”) from the left and
right to prevent overheating.
Avoid high temperatures, moisture,
water and dust
– Apparatus shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing.
– Do not place any sources of danger
on the apparatus (e.g., liquid lled
objects, lighted candles).
Cleaning discs
Some problems occur (frozen picture,
sound disruptions, picture distortions)
because the disc inside the unit 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 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 discs.
Since the optical unit (laser) of the

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

Recording
Discs for recording
Several different types of recordable
DVD discs can be used with this
recorder:
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 play 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)
– Like the DVD+R, these discs can only
be used for a single recording. The only
difference is the capacity- 8.5GB. 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.

What kind of disc should I use for
recording?
You can only 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).
What is the difference between
DVD±R and DVD±RW?
DVD±R is “recordable” and DVD±RW is
“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.
How do I check the remaining space
available on a recordable DVD disc?
In disc menu mode, press REC MODE on
the remote control to display the
remaining time available. (The length if
time available depends on the mode of
recording quality).
What is DV?
Using DV, also known as i.LINK, you can
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.
– You cannot connect more than one
DV camcorder at a time to this recorder.
– You cannot control this recorder from
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.
Title
Chapter
Title
Chapter Chapter Chapter Chapter
cha
p
ter 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 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 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
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.
