CAUTION! High voltage! Do not open the device. You run the risk of getting an electric shock. The machine does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Please leave all maintenance work to qualifi ed personnel. Setup precautions Finding a suitable location – Place the set on a fl at, hard and stable surface. Do not place the set on a carpet. – Do not position the set on top of other equipment that might heat it up (e.g., receiver or amplifi er.) – Do not put anything above or under the set (e.g., CDs, magazines.) – 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 fi 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 fi 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 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. About recycling These operating instructions have been printed on non-polluting paper. This electronic equipment contains a large number of materials that can be recycled. If you are disposing of an old machine, please take it to a recycling center.

Step 2: Optional Connections (continued) Connecting a camcorder to the front jacks You can use the front jacks to copy camcorder recordings. These jacks are located behind the fl ap on the right which provides convenient connections. Option 1: Using the DV IN jack Use this connection if you have a Digital Video or Digital 8 camcorder. The DV jack conforms to the i.LINK standard. � Use an i.LINK 4-pin cable (not supplied) to connect the DV IN jack on the front panel of the recorder to the appropriate DV OUT jack on the camcorder. Before you start operating, press SOURCE on the remote control repeatedly to select ‘DV’ as the input channel. Helpful Hints: – The DV IN jack does not support a connection to a Personal Computer. – It is not possible to record from the recorder to your camcorder via the DV IN jack on your recorder. Option 2: Using the VIDEO In or S-VIDEO In jacks Use this connection if you have a Hi8 or S-VHS(C) camcorder or if your camcorder has only a single video output jack (Composite Video, CVBS.) A Use a video cable (not supplied) to connect the CAM 1 jack on the front panel of the recorder to the Video output jack on the connected video device. OR, � Use an S-Video cable to connect the CAM 2 jack if the connected video device has the S-Video output jack. It provides better picture quality. B Use an audio cable (not supplied) to connect the AUDIO L/R jacks on the front panel of the recorder to the audio output jacks on the connected video device. Before you start operating, press SOURCE on the remote control repeatedly to select ‘CAM1’ or ‘CAM2’ as the input channel, depending on your connections. DV OUT L R A B OR

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 fi nalized. – To play a DVD±R on other DVD player, it must be fi nalized (see the chapter “Editing/ Finalizing Recording – Playing your recordings on other DVD players (DVD±R only)”.) 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. Supported disc type and media speeds Disc Media speeds DVD+R 1x - 16x DVD+RW 2.4x - 4x DVD-R 1x - 16x DVD-RW 2.4x - 4x DVD+R DL 2.4x TIPS: Ensure that there is enough space on the DVD±R/±RW before recording.

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 jack. 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 Programs 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 “fi nalizing” a disc do? Finalizing 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 fi nalizing 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. Frequently Asked Questions
