INTRODUCTION

SELECT THE DISC TYPE

This recorder can record on both DVD+R and DVD+RW type of disc. When you want to record

repeatedly on the same disc, select DVD+RW type. The disc can be re-recorded for more than

1000 times. When you want to save recordings without any alteration, a non-rewritable

DVD+R can be your choice.

DIGITAL RECORDING

Video is recorded in a DVD+R/+RW disc in digital way. When you use Timer to record a pro-

gram, you will find familiar, convenient feature as found on the conventional VCRs.

You can also record the contents of connected AV equipment such as digital video camera.

PLAY THE RECORDINGS

You can select the title you want to play from a display from a disc menu, and immediately

start playback. To access recorded contents on a disc are much simpler and faster than

conventional VHS tape.

What are titles and chapters? DVD contents consist of sections, called titles, and smaller

sub-sections called chapters. On this recorder, a title is created between the points where you

start and stop a recording. Chapters are created automatically at 5 mins intervals, or can be

created manually.

EDIT AND SHARE YOUR OWN RECORDINGS

To edit a conventional tape without deleting the original recordings, you had to connect

another VCR. With this recorder, you can create your own recordings by adding chapter mar-

kers on suitable positions and then hire the unwanted sections by EDIT function.

You can share your own DVD disc with your friends if they have got a DVD player or DVD-ROM

drive on PC.

CONNECTING TO TV SET.

In order to let the recorder work properly, connecting the recorder to TV set with aerial cable

and one of the following video cable is necessary.

(

! Please keep the equipment off during connection.)

Connections 1 & 2 are necessary for TV and recorder to receive TV signal. Unlike conventional

VCR machine, the recorder will not output its "own" signal via the aerial cable. So, it's normal

that you cannot view the recorder signal from any of the spare TV channels.

Connecting either one of 3&A, 4&A, 5&A or 6 is necessary for the TV to receive recorder signal.

Notes:

1 For a TV with SCART jack, connect the recorder's "scart1" jack to the TV's scart jack.

The scart jack contains R-G-B and Composite video signals and down mix stereo Left and

Right audio signals.

2 For a TV without SCART jack, and without VGA jack, Connecting the player's down mix

audio left (L) and right (R) output to the TV's audio left and right inputs. Connecting

either one of the player's video output ( Video, S-Video or component) to the TV's

corresponding video input. If the TV set is equipped with component video input,

connecting this signal will provide the best picture quality.

3. If the TV has more than one video inputs, you may choose either one to connect. Make

sure you have properly connected the video and audio ports, and switch the TV channel

to the same input (e.g. AV1, AV2,.. etc.)
