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.

Care and Safety Information

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 quali ed

personnel.

Setup precautions

Finding a suitable location

– Place the set on a  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 ampli 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  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

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. Please

observe the local regulations regarding

disposal of packaging materials, exhausted

batteries, and old equipment.

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.

TIPS: Before making or changing any connections, make sure that all the devices are disconnected

from the power outlet.

Step 1: Basic Recorder Connections (continued)

Connecting the video cable

This connection enables you to view the

disc playback from this recorder. You

need to choose only one of the options

below to make your video connection.

Option 1: Using a SCART cable



Use the SCART cable to connect the

EXT1 TO TV-I/O socket on the

recorder to the corresponding SCART

input socket on the TV.

Helpful Hints:

– If your TV set has several SCART sockets,

select the SCART socket that is suitable for

both video output and video input.

– If your TV set displays a selection for the

SCART socket, select ‘VCR’ as the source for

the SCART socket.

– The EXT2 AUX-I/O socket is intended

only for additional devices.

Option 2: Using an S-Video cable



Use an S-video cable (not supplied) to

connect the S-VIDEO OUTPUT

socket on the recorder to the S-Video

input socket (or labelled as Y/C or

S-VHS) on the TV.

 Audio connection is required in order

to hear the sound, see next section

“Connecting the audio cables”.

Option 3: Using a Video (CVBS)

cable



Use a composite video cable (yellow -

not supplied) to connect the VIDEO

(CVBS) OUTPUT socket on the

recorder to the video input socket (or

labelled as A/V In, Video In, Composite

or Baseband) on the TV.

 Audio connection is required in order

to hear the sound, see next section

“Connecting the audio cables”.

the { HDMI Video Resolution } setting

will automatically switch to default value

{576i}.

Connecting the audio cables

This connection enables you to listen to

the playback from this recorder.

However, this connection is not required

if this recorder is connected to the TV

using the SCART or HDMI cable.

Option 1: Using an audio cable

You can connect the recorder to a two

channel stereo system (mini system, TV)

or receiver in order to enjoy the stereo

sound system.



Use an audio cable (red/white ends - not

supplied) to connect the AUDIO L/R

OUTPUT sockets to the audio input

sockets of the connected device.

Step 1: Basic Recorder Connections (continued)

Option 2: Using a coaxial cable

You can connect the recorder to an AV

ampli er/receiver with a digital

multichannel sound decoder in order to

enjoy multichannel surround sound.



Use a coaxial cable (not supplied).

Connect the COAXIAL (DIGITAL

AUDIO OUT) socket on the recorder

to the digital input of the receiver/

ampli er.

Before you start operating, set the digital

audio output settings accordingly (see the

chapter “DVD Setup Menu Options -

PLAYBACK settings). If the audio setting

does not match your stereo’s capabilities,

the stereo may produce a strong,

distorted sound or no sound at all.

TIPS: Before making or changing any connections, make sure that all the devices are disconnected

from the power outlet.

Connecting to a VCR or

other similar device

This connection enables you to record

from a video tape to a recordable DVD

and allows the VCR to be used for

playback even if the recorder is turned

off.

IMPORTANT!

Your new recorder can replace the

VCR for all your recording needs.

Just unplug all the connections to

your VCR.

A

Connect the existing Aerial/Satellite/

Cable TV signal (or from the Cable Box/

Satellite Receiver, 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 Hints:

– Most commercial video cassettes and

DVDs are copy-protected and therefore

cannot be recorded.

– Connect the recorder directly to the TV. If

there is a VCR or an additional device in

between, the picture quality may be poor

because of the copy protection system built

into the recorder.
