(This automatic clock adjustment can only be performed when the VCR is turned off. The clock will be adjusted just on these hours — on the time displayed on the front display panel, not on the actual real time.) The default setting of “AUTO CLOCK” is “ON”. ● If the memory backup fails, because a power outage occurs or because the AC power cord is unplugged, Auto Clock Set will be performed when power is restored to the VCR. ● Poor antenna or cable signal may prevent the VCR from receiving the Auto clock setting data from a PBS channel. If this function is taking a considerable amount of time, it may be necessary to perform the Semiauto or Manual Clock Set procedure (� pg. 12). What to do if Plug & Play setting failed ● If an incorrect time is displayed on the front display panel, you may be receiving the clock setting data of a PBS channel from an adjacent time zone, or an incorrect PBS channel from a cable TV system. In this case, perform the Semiauto (� pg. 11) or Manual Clock Set (� pg. 12) procedure. ● If “– –:– –” appears on the front display panel, your antenna cable may not be connected to the VCR or there may not be a Host PBS signal available in your area. Ensure that the antenna cable is connected correctly. Then turn on and off the VCR; the Plug & Play setting will be automatically reactivated. If Plug & Play setting is not performed though the antenna cable is connected correctly, perform Manual Clock Set (� pg. 12) and Auto Channel Set or Manual Channel Set (� pg. 13 or 14). INITIAL SETTINGS Plug & Play Setting This VCR sets the clock and tuner channels automatically when AC power cord is first connected to an AC outlet. The antenna cable must be connected for the Plug & Play setting. The time and date can be set automatically by the clock setting data transmitted from one of the regular TV broadcast channels. We call this TV channel the “host channel” and it is a PBS channel in your area. 1 Perform Plug & Play setup Connect the antenna cable to the VCR (� pg. 7). Then connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet. Do not turn on the VCR. The clock and tuner channels will be set automatically. NOTES: ● When the AC power cord is connected to an AC outlet, “LOAD” appears on the front display panel. It takes some time until VCR completes its set up. ● Auto Clock Set is performed first. “Auto” blinks on the front display panel during Auto Clock Set. ● Auto Channel Set is performed next. Auto Channel Set scans all the channels that are receivable by your VCR. During Auto Channel Set, the channel numbers are displayed as they are scanned and set. ● When Plug & Play setting has been complete successfully, the correct clock time is displayed. If you perform Plug & Play setting successfully, there is no need to perform the clock (� pg. 10) and tuner (� pg. 13) settings. If, however, you want to add or delete channels, refer to Manual Channel Set on page 14. ATTENTION ● If you use a cable box, Plug & Play will not function; set the clock and tuner channels separately.

ATTENTION If the i.LINK setting does not work, press D-VHS and STOP/EJECT ( 7/0 ) simultaneously for more than 5 seconds to reset the settings. The cassette is automatically ejected. LINC You can control one of the i.LINK-compatible devices connected to this VCR with the i.LINK cable. “LINC” means to select one of the connected devices. After establishing a LINC with an i.LINK-compatible device, you're ready to control the i.LINK device. LINC (Logical Interface Connection) involves establishing a logical connection, as the abbreviation implies.

“i.LINK” is a digital serial interface that allows devices equipped with an i.LINK connector to exchange digital video signals, digital audio signals, and device control signals bi-directionally over a single cable. i.Link refers to the IEEE1394-1995 industry specification and extensions thereof. The logo is used for products compliant with the i.Link standard. This VCR uses a four-pin i.LINK connector to input and output MPEG2 video signals, audio signals, and control signals. The i.LINK connector is also used as an input for DV compressed signals from the DV output of a digital video camera. i.LINK Connection i.LINK-compatible devices can be connected in daisy chain fashion using i.LINK cables. Any two devices in the daisy chain can exchange data bi-directionally, even if there are other devices connected between them. i.LINK also supports a “repeater function” that passes input MPEG2 and DV signals through to the next device in the chain. i.LINK Branched Connection If you are connecting a device that is equipped with three or more i.LINK connectors, you can also branch the i.LINK connection.

Bad connection examples (A to D: i.LINK-compatible devices) The connections below form a loop. A B C D A B C A B C: Device with three i.LINK connectors NOTES: ● You can connect as many as 63 devices (including this VCR) through an i.LINK connection. If you use a branched i.LINK connection, however, the maximum path length on a branch is 17 devices. ● In the case of a personal computer and some other devices, data is not passed along by those devices if the device power is off. For details, refer to the instruction manual for the connected device. Furthermore, data is not passed along by this VCR when "POWER SAVE" is set to "ON" on this VCR (� pg. 57) and the VCR is turned off. ● The maximum data transfer speed supported by the i.LINK connector on this VCR is 400Mbps (approximately 400 megabits per second). The maximum data transfer speed that is actually attained may be slower depending on how this VCR is used or if a device with a slower transfer speed is connected to this VCR. ● Use the S400 i.LINK cable. i.LINK Connection Examples Examples of good i.LINK connections and bad i.LINK connections are shown below. The digital signals flow to all connected devices. When connecting i.LINK devices, make sure that the devices are connected in such a way that digital signals do not return (loop back) to the device that output them. Looped connection is not permitted.

NOTES: ● While the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode or after Satellite Auto Recording is finished, the VCR will not enter the timer recording standby mode even though “AUTO TIMER” is set to “ON” (� pg. 57). ● If you turn off this VCR while Satellite Auto Recording is in progress, recording stops. ● Video Calibration (� pg. 54) does not work while Satellite Auto Recording is in progress. ● Auto Clock (� pg. 11) does not work while in the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode. ● The VCR may not record a short portion at the beginning of the program or may record slightly longer than the actual length of the program when Satellite Auto Recording method is used. ● If you engage the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode while the DBS receiver is turned on, the VCR will not start Satellite Auto Recording, and “L-1” and “‰” blink on the front display panel. When you turn off the DBS receiver, “L-1” and “‰” light up and the VCR enters the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode. ● If you have connected another component other than a DBS receiver (or cable box) to the AUDIO/VIDEO IN or S VIDEO IN (L-1) connectors, be sure not to engage the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode; otherwise, the VCR will start recording when the connected component is turned on. ● Satellite Auto Recording and timer-recording cannot be performed at the same time. ● If the “L-1” blinks quickly on the front display panel in the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode (even though your DBS receiver is turned off), Satellite Auto Recording will not work properly. If this is the case, perform “Express Timer Programing” (� pg. 38) to timer-record a satellite program. (Some DBS receivers output signals even if the power is off. Satellite Auto Recording is not possible with those DBS receivers.) This function allows you to automatically record a satellite program which is timer-programed on your DBS receiver. Preparation: Connect a DBS receiver to the AUDIO/ VIDEO IN or S VIDEO IN (L-1) connectors* on the rear; otherwise, you cannot use this function. • You can also connect the cable box if it has a timer. * To use these connectors, you have to select which one to use (� pg. 56).

Great changes in the entertainment and media industries are transforming the way we use VHS, and digital broadcasting is a good example of what the future holds. Digital broadcasting now allows more efficient use of the limited broadcast spectrum besides delivering high- definition video, outstanding sound quality, multiple channels, and multiple features. Meanwhile, VHS has evolved with the advances in broadcasting in response to the need for continued use of existing VHS resources and the trend toward digital broadcasts. Digital broadcasting is not limited to transmissions of audio and video content. A variety of other data can be sent as well. As the means to record all of these digital signals while supporting playback of the extensive VHS library of analog tapes, D-VHS was developed. This VCR is equipped with an MPEG-2 encoder and decoder (codec) for digital recording and playback of analog signals. D-VHS is the key to a smooth transition from analog to digital formats. This next-generation home video technology lets us continue to enjoy home video entertainment as popularized in the last century well into the next. Linear PCM Audio Conventional D-VHS recording uses MPEG-1 Layer 2 compression to record analog audio digitally. For recording without compression, this VCR also features PCM recording (pulse code modulation: 48 kHz, 16-bit, 1536 kbps). Used with high-resolution HS/STD mode, it offers outstanding high-fidelity recording and playback. (Recording from audio input alone is not supported.) Dolby Digital A form of digital audio coding developed by Dolby Laboratories to deliver surround sound with 5.1 channels (front left and right, center, rear left and right, and a channel for LFE (low-frequency effects). When you play back a digital tape encoded in Dolby Digital format, the Dolby Digital bistream is sent from the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL connector. Set “OPTICAL OUT” to “Dolby D” (� pg. 55).

The logo is used for products compliant with the i.Link standard. MPEG2 Abbreviation for Moving Picture Experts Group, Phase 2. Unlike previous compression methods, MPEG-2 uses an extremely efficient compression method that supports high-definition video. Based on the principle that much video data remains unchanged from one frame to the next, predictive coding is performed to eliminate redundant data. Specifically, compression is applied between frames (based on the correlation of frame data) and within frames (based on DCT, or discrete cosine transform) for an extremely efficient compression technique.
