Make your contribution to the environment!!! Exhausted batteries do not belong in the dustbin. You can dispose of them at a collection point for
exhausted batteries or special waste. Contact your council for details.
Connection to Power Before Switching on make sure that the voltage of your electricity supply is the same as that indicated on the rating plate. Mains Cord This appliance may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If it is necessary to change the fuse in a nonrewireable plug the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a replacement available from the appliance manufacturer is obtained. It is important that the colour of the replacement fuse cover corresponds with the rating marking on the base of the plug. If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or becomes damaged, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted following the wiring instructions below. The plug removed must be disposed of safely as insertion into a 13A socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard. For your own safety read the following instructions carefully before attempting to connect this unit to mains. The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: BLUE=NEUTRAL, BROWN=LIVE
Important As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red. No connection is to be made to the earth terminal of the plug. If a 13 Amp (BS 1363) Plug is used, a 5 Amp Fuse must be fitted, or if any other type of Plug is used a 3 or 5 Amp Fuse must be fitted, either in the Plug or Adaptor, or on the Distribution Board. Mains Supply: 220 - 240 V~ 50 Hz - AC only Do not make any connection to the larger pin marked with the letter E or by the symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.
Installation Location For safety and optimum performance of this unit: Install the unit in a horizontal and stable position. Keep the unit away from electronic equipment such as an
amplifier, TV, etc. to prevent warping,damage, fire and malfunction.
Do not place anything directly on top of the unit. Shield the unit from direct sunlight and keep away from
sources of intense heat. Avoid dusty or humid locations. Avoid locations with insufficient ventilation for suitable heat dissipation. Do not block the ventilation holes on the sides of the unit. Avoid locations subject to strong vibration or strong magnetic fields.
Avoid the Hazards of Electrical Shock and Fire Do not handle the mains cable with wet hands. Do not pull on the mains cable to disconnect it from AC
outlet. Grasp it by the plug. If, by accident, water is spilled on the unit, unplug the mains
cable immediately and take the unit to an authorised service centre for servicing.

Maintenance CLEANING THE UNIT Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use solutions containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasive.
CLEANING DISCS If a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the centre out. Do not wipe in a circular motion. Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, detergent, abrasive cleaning agents or antistatic spray intended for analogue records.
DISC HANDLING Handle the discs so that fingerprints and dust do not adhere to the disc surfaces. Always store the disc in its protective case when it is not in use.
HDD HANDLING HDD is a precision apparatus that is susceptible to vibration,
strong impact or dirt. Depending on the installation environment or handling, the unit may become partially damaged or in the worst case, recording or replaying may not be available. Especially while the HDD is in motion, do not subject it to vibration or strong impact or pull out the power plug. And if a power failure occurs, the content of the recording / replaying programme may be lost.
HDD rotates at high speed when in operation. Be sure that rotation has stopped and then move the unit without subjecting it to strong impact or vibration.
SERVICING If the unit becomes inoperative, do not try to correct the problem by yourself. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Turn the unit off, unplug the mains cable, and consult your dealer or an authorised service centre.
CLEANING THE DISC LENS If the unit does not perform correctly even though you have referred to Troubleshooting and the relevant sections in the Owners Manual, the laser optical pickup unit may be dirty. Consult your dealer or an authorised service centre for inspection and cleaning of the laser optical pickup unit.
AUTO HEAD CLEANING Automatically cleans video heads as you insert or remove a
cassette, so you can see a clear picture. Playback picture may become blurred or interrupted while
the TV programme reception is clear. Dirt accumulated on the video heads after a long period of use, or the usage of rental or worn tapes can cause this problem. If a streaky or snowy picture appears during playback, the video heads in the unit may need to be cleaned.
1 Please visit your local Audio / Video store and purchase a good quality VCR Video Head Cleaner.
2 If a Video Head Cleaner does not solve the problem, please consult your dealer or an authorised service centre.
Note Remember to read the instructions along with the video
head cleaner before use. Clean video heads only when problems occur.

Connecting to a TV Connect the unit to a TV after considering the capabilities of your existing equipment.
Connect the antenna or cable to the ANTENNA IN jack of this unit. Connect the ANTENNA OUT jack of this unit to the Aerial jack of your TV.
Connect AV1 (TV) Scart socket of this unit to the Scart socket of your TV.
Note If your TV does not have a Scart socket, use a Scart/RCA
cable to connect. Connect this unit directly to the TV. If the AV cables are
connected to a VCR, pictures may be distorted due to the copy protection system.
Analogue teletext can only be output in VCR mode through AV1 (TV) out. Use TV remote control to decode the analogue teletext.
When changing the Video Out setting (SCART (RGB), Component (Interlace) or Component (Progressive)), connect to the corresponding jack on the TV. If the setting is changed, for example, to Component (Interlace) or Component (Progressive) while the scart cable is connected to the TV, a distorted video signal may be output.
If your TV has component video input jacks, use a component video cable and an audio cable (to connect the AUDIO OUT (L\R) jacks). When using this type of connection, Video Out setting should be set to Component (Progressive) or Component (Interlace). Refer to Video Out on page 71. Component connection provides the better quality picture.
Connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks of this unit to the component video input jacks of your TV. Connect the AUDIO OUT (L\R) jacks of this unit to the analogue audio input jacks of your TV.
After you have made the connections, set the Video Out setting. (See page 71.)
Selecting Progressive Scan (576p/480p or Interlaced 576i/480i) Playback If your TV is compatible with progressive scanning (576p/
480p), connect the TV to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks of this unit and set Video Out setting to Component (Progressive) in Setup menu. (See page 71.) Next, set your TV to the progressive scan mode.
If your TV is not compatible with progressive scan, set Video Out setting to Component (Interlace).
Use a commercially available adaptor if the video input jacks of your TVs or monitors are the BNC type.
Only component and HDMI connections are compatible with the Progressive Scan.

[HDMI CONNECTION] HDMI outputs the video / audio signals without converting to
analogue signals. No audio connections is required. Use the HDMI cable (commercially available) for connection. Connect the HDMI output jack of this unit to the HDMI input
jack of TV.
Selecting HDMI video resolution Press [HDMI] to select the HDMI video resolution. The video resolution changes as follows every time [HDMI] is pressed. 576p (PAL) / 480p (NTSC) 720p 1080i 1080p (An HDMI video resolution that is not supported by the display device will be skipped.)
For audio CD, video CD and MP3 files, 2 channel PCM will be output regardless of the Dolby Digital setting. If the connected device is not compatible with HDMI BITSTREAM, audio will be output as PCM even if you select Stream in Dolby Digital setting. (See page 69.)
Copyright protection system To play back the digital video images of a DVD via an HDMI connection, it is necessary that both the player and the display device (or an AV amplifier) support a copyright protection system called HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content protection system). HDCP is copy protection technology that comprises data encryption and authentication of the connected AV device. This unit supports HDCP. Please read the operating instructions of your display device (or AV amplifier) for more information. * HDMI: High Definition Multimedia Interface
Note Because HDMI is an evolving technology, it is possible that
some devices with an HDMI input may not operate properly with this unit.
When using an HDCP-incompatible display device, the image will not be viewed properly.
Among the devices that support HDMI, some devices can control other devices via the HDMI connector; however, this unit cannot be controlled by another device via the HDMI connector.
The audio signals from the HDMI connector (including the sampling frequency, the number of channels and bit length) may be limited by the device that is connected.
Among the monitors that support HDMI, some do not support audio output (for example, projectors). In connections with device such as this unit, audio signals are not output from the HDMI output connector.
When this units HDMI connector is connected to a DVI-D compatible monitor (HDCP compatible) with an HDMI-DVI conversion cable, the signals are output in digital RGB.
If the connected equipment is not compatible with HDMI BITSTREAM, DTS sound will not be output.
When the power failure occurs, or when you unplug the unit, some problems in the HDMI setting might occur. Please check and set the HDMI setting again.

Information on DVD Recording
This unit can record on DVD-RW/-R discs and DVD+RW/+R discs. DVD-R/+R discs allow you to record programmes only once, and the recorded contents can be erased although the space left on the disc does not change. DVD-RW/+RW discs allow you to record programmes repeatedly, and the recorded contents can be erased. There are 3 recording formats: VR mode, video mode and +VR mode. VR and video modes are available for DVD-RW discs while as only video mode is available for DVD-R discs. +VR mode is available for DVD+RW/+R discs.
Video mode is the same recording format as used on the pre- recorded DVD-videos you purchase in local shops. You can play back the discs recorded in this format in most of the DVD players. You will need to finalise such discs (see page 45) before playing them back in other DVD players. Unless finalised, you can record additional materials or edit discs recorded in video mode with this unit. VR (Video Recording) mode is a basic recording format for DVD-RW discs. VR mode offers advanced editing, and you can record and edit material repeatedly, however it is playable only on VR mode compatible unit. Finalisation is recommended before playing them back in other unit. +VR mode is a recording format for DVD+RW/+R disc. +VR mode offers basic editing, and it is playable in most DVD players. Finalisation is recommended before playing them back in other unit.
You can select a recording mode from 5 options. The recording time will vary depending on the recording mode you select as follows.
This table is intended for a standard new single-sided 12 cm / 8 cm disc. The recording times are estimates and actual recording time may differ.
The audio and video quality becomes poorer as the recording time gets longer.
You cannot record copy-protected video using this unit. Copy- protected video includes DVD-videos and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-protected material is detected, recording will pause or stop automatically and an error message appears on the screen. You can only record Copy-once only video using a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM) or internal HDD. When recording a TV broadcast or an external input, you can display copy control information on the screen. CPRM is a scrambling copy protection system for the protection of copy-once broadcast programmes. This unit is CPRM compatible, which means that you can record copy-once broadcast programmes, but you cannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings can only be played back on DVD players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.
Some satellite broadcasts include copy-protected information. If you want to record them, refer to the following.
Note This unit cannot record on CD-RW/-R discs. Discs recorded on a personal computer or a DVD or CD
recorder may not be played back if the disc is damaged or dirty or if there is condensation on the recorders lens.
If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a compatible format, it may not be played back because of the settings of the application software used to create the disc. (Check with the software publisher for more detailed information.)
Discs recorded in video mode on this unit cannot record additional information using other DVD recorders.
Since recording is performed using the Variable Bit Rate (VBR) method, the actual remaining time for recording may be a little shorter than the remaining time displayed on the OSD, depending on the picture you are recording.

After recording, you must finalise the disc to play it back in other players. (See page 45.) You cannot finalise discs in other DVD recorders.
HDD is a special device which has high recording density and is suited for long-time recording or high-speed cueing but by contrast, has many factors which can cause breakage. Use HDD on the premise that you should dub the recorded programmes to a DVD disc to protect your precious videos.
HDD is a temporary storage location: HDD is not a permanent storage location of the recorded contents. Be sure to use it as a temporary storage location until you watch the programmes once, edit them, or dub them to a DVD disc.
Be sure to dub (back up) data promptly if you find abnormalities in HDD: If there is mechanical trouble with the HDD, grinding or other sounds may be heard or blocky noise may appear on the image. If you continue to use as it is, deterioration may continue and eventually the HDD may not be used at all. If you notice these symptoms of a failing HDD, promptly dub the data to a DVD disc. When an HDD fails, recovery of recorded content (data) may be impossible. About the remaining capacity of HDD recording time: In recording to HDD, the Remaining Capacity Display may differ from the actual recordable time as this unit adopts Variable Bit Rate encoding, which varies the recording (storage) amount of data in conformity with the amount of information in the video signal. Before recording to the HDD, ensure there is sufficient space on the HDD by deleting unnecessary titles in advance. (Remaining capacity will not increase if you only delete Playlists.)
HDD: 600 Original titles 600 Playlists 99 chapters per Original/Playlist title
VR mode DVD: 99 titles per each Playlist and Original 999 chapters per each Playlist and Original

programme overlapped appears, and the overlapped programme will be displayed in blue. To correct the timer programme, refer to Checking, Cancelling or Correcting the Timer Programming Information on this page.
The icon will appear on the front panel display.
Note If you have not set the clock, the clock setting window will

Press [K \ L] to move the cursor in Timer Programming list.
If you have a timer programme with PDC function, and if you are watching different channel from the timer programme, confirmation message to change the channel will appear 15 minutes before the programme starts (the message will also re-appear 30 seconds before the programme starts). The channel will automatically be changed to the programmed channel 15 seconds before the programme starts.
Alternate recording (DVD only)... If there is no recordable disc in the unit, if the disc does not have enough space to complete the recording, or if the material is copy-once programme and prohibited to be recorded on a DVD in the unit, the unit will detect it and automatically record to the HDD even when DVD is selected as the recording media. If the available space on the HDD is less than that of DVD, the unit will not perform the alternate recording. This feature is available only for timer recording. Not available for one-touch timer recording.
The Programme Delivery Control (PDC) assures that the TV programmes you have programmed for timer recording are recorded exactly from beginning to end, even if the actual broadcasting time differs from the scheduled time due to a delayed start or extension of the programme duration. Furthermore, if a programme is interrupted, the recording will also be interrupted automatically and resumed when the programme starts again.
If the PDC signal drops out because the broadcast signal is weak, or if a broadcasting station does not transmit a regular PDC signal, the timer recording is performed in normal mode (without PDC) even if it was programmed for PDC. If the starting time of the PDC timer recording is between 0:00 and 3:59 on a given day, the PDC function will operate from 20:00 on the previous day to 4:00 on the next day. If the starting time of the PDC timer recording is between 4:00 and 23:59 on a given day, the PDC function will operate from 0:00 on the given day to 4:00 on the next day. This means that if the relevant programme is broadcasted within this period, it is recorded correctly. If the timer is not programmed correctly, the incorrect timer setting stays in effect unless you cancel it. To cancel an incorrect timer setting, refer to Checking, Cancelling or Correcting the Timer Programming Information on this page.
Note This feature is only available for analogue channels. If DVB channels have been stored in this unit, you cannot
select PDC on.

Do not connect this unit and DVC via any other unit. Do not connect more than one DVC. The unit can only accept DVC. Other DV device such as
cable/satellite box or D-VHS recorder cannot be recognised. If no video signal is detected from the DVC during DVC to
HDD or DVD dubbing, the recording will be paused and I will flash on the TV screen. The recording will resume when the unit detects the video signal again.
When the DVC is in camera mode, refer to Guide to DV and On-Screen Display on page 39.
Date / time and cassette memory data will not be recorded. Pictures with a copy-guard signal cannot be recorded. A DV terminal is a terminal that can use the transmission
mode conforming to the IEEE 1394 standards called Fire Wire. It serves as the interface that connects the PC and peripheral device such as i.LINK (registered trademark of SONY). It enables digital dubbing between DV devices with little degradation.
You cannot dub from DVC to both HDD and DVD at the same time.
Information on Dubbing You can copy an HDD / DVD disc to a videotape or copy a videotape to an HDD / DVD disc. This function will be possible only if the DVD or the videotape is not copy protected. Before dubbing, prepare for the recording on the DVDs or the videotape. See pages 28 to 29 (HDD / DVD) or page 74 (VCR).
Difference between Copy and Move:
Preparing for DV dubbing (DVC to HDD): Make sure your DVC is in video mode.

High This unit is compatible with the high speed dubbing from HDD to DVD or VR mode DVD-RW disc to HDD. With the high speed dubbing, you can dub a title much faster than the normal speed dubbing without changing the quality of the picture and sound. (e.g. If you dub a title recorded in SLP mode to DVD-R, dubbing speed will be 32 times faster than the normal dubbing speed.) To perform the high speed dubbing, set the recording mode to High.
Duration of high speed dubbing will vary depending on the recording mode or the title amount.
High speed dubbing is not available when; - recording mode is set to other than High. - dubbing from a video mode DVD-RW/-R or DVD+RW/+R
disc to the HDD. - there is not enough space in the disc. - dubbing a title recorded in EP or SLP mode to DVD+RW/
+R discs. High speed dubbing of an HDD title which has bilingual
audio is only available to VR mode DVD-RW disc.
Auto When Auto is selected as a recording mode, the unit calculates how much time is available on the disc and selects the best recording mode available automatically. The recording may be cut short when the available recording
space of the disc is too limited.
Note During normal dubbing, you can watch the playback picture
of the title being dubbed (the audio cannot be changed). During high speed dubbing, the playback picture will not appear.
When you dub an HDD title that has bilingual audio to video mode DVD-RW/-R or DVD+RW/+R disc, select an appropriate audio format in the Bilingual Recording Audio menu. Refer to Setting Bilingual Recording Audio on page 32.

Editing Discs You will find editing discs is easy. This unit offers convenient edit functions. You can edit the following from a title list. Assigning a name to a title Dividing a title Combining titles Adding titles to a Playlist Setting or releasing the title protection Adding or deleting chapter marks Deleting titles or parts of titles (Possible editing functions depend on the recording format and editing method.)
There are 2 types for the title list: Original and Playlist.
Original: Original is the list of the recorded programmes (titles) when they are recorded. Original is available for HDD and DVD-RW. Please note that editing the titles in the Original is like editing the original data. For example, if you erase a title in the Original, the title cannot be recovered.
Playlist: Playlist is the copy of the Original. You can edit the titles in the Playlist as you like without affecting the original data in the Original. It works like a backup for the Original. Delete a Playlist does not delete the corresponding Original. But if you delete an Original, the corresponding Playlists will be deleted. Playlist is available only for the HDD and the VR mode DVD- RWs.
About Edit Mark: Edit marks will be added automatically where title is edited, for example where a title is divided or combined. These marks work as chapter marks when you search for a chapter, but cannot be deleted like chapter marks. Also, when a title with chapter marks are dubbed from DVD to the HDD, those marks become edit marks once they are dubbed to the HDD.
Using these editing functions to modify copyrighted content for any purpose other than your private viewing may be prohibited under the Copyright Laws of the United States and other countries, and may subject you to civil and criminal liability.
Note A Playlist is not available for DVD-R or video mode DVD-RW
and DVD+RW/+R discs. It is not possible to edit a disc recorded in another video
system other than PAL, such as NTSC. After finalising a DVD-RW/-R or DVD+R disc, you cannot
edit any information that is on that disc.
You can delete titles you do not want to keep. When an Original is deleted from HDD or VR mode DVD-RW disc, the recordable disc space will increase. Even when a Playlist is deleted, the original of the Playlist will remains, and recordable disc space will not increase. Recordable disc space of video mode DVD-RW and DVD+RW disc will increase when the last title on the title list is deleted. However, deleting the title will not change recordable disc space for DVD-R and DVD+R disc.
Note It is not possible to retrieve deleted titles. If you want to edit the HDD, press [HDD] first. If you want to edit a disc, press [DVD] first.
