Discs DVD (8 cm / 12 cm disc) Discs such as movies that can be purchased or rented Video CD (VCD) (8 cm / 12 cm disc) VIDEO CDs or CD-Rs/CD-RWs in
VIDEO CD/Super VIDEO CD format Audio CD (8 cm / 12 cm disc) Music CDs or CD-Rs/CD-RWs in music CD format that can be purchased CD-R/CD-RW
(8 cm / 12 cm disc) CD-R/CD-RW discs that contain audio titles, DivX, MP3, WMA, or JPEG files.

Notes: Depending on the conditions of the recording equipment or the CD-R/RW (or DVD±R/RW) disc itself, some CD-R/RW (or DVD±R/RW) discs cannot
be played on the unit. Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the labeled side or the recorded side) of a disc. Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (e.
g., heart-shaped or octagonal). Doing so may result in malfunctions. Depending on the recording software & the finalization, some recorded discs (CD-
R/RW or DVD±R/RW) may not be playable. DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW and CD-R/RW discs recorded using a personal computer or a DVD or CD Recorder
may not play if the disc is damaged or dirty, or if there is dirt or condensation on the Recorder's lens.
If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a compatible format, there are cases in which it may not play because of the settings
of the application software used to create the disc. (Check with the software publisher for more detailed information.) Regional code of the recorder and
DVDs This recorder is designed and manufactured for playback of Region 2 encoded DVD software. The region code on the labels of some DVD discs
indicates which type of the recorder can play those discs. This unit can play only DVD discs labeled 2 or ALL. If you try to play any other discs, the message
"Incorrect region code. Can't play back" will appear on the TV screen. Some DVD discs may not have a region code label even though their playback is
prohibited by area limits. 2 Notes on DVDs and Video CDs Some playback operations of DVDs and Video CDs may be intentionally fixed by software
manufacturers. As this unit plays DVDs and Video CDs according to disc content designed by the software manufacturer, some playback features of the unit
may not be available or other functions may be added.
Refer also to the instructions supplied with the DVDs and Video CDs. Some DVDs made for business purposes may not be played on the unit. Remote Control
Operation Point the Remote Control at the remote sensor and press the buttons. Remote Control Battery Installation Remove the battery cover on the rear of
the Remote Control, and insert two R03 (size AAA) batteries with and matched correctly. Caution Do not mix old and new batteries. Never mix different types
of batteries (standard, alkaline, etc.). 6 The internal hard disk drive (HDD) is a fragile piece of equipment. Please use the recorder following the guidelines
below to protect against possible HDD failure. We recommend that you back up your important recordings onto DVD discs in order to protect against
accidental loss.
Do not move the recorder while it is on. Install and use the recorder on a stable, level surface. Do not block the rear vent/cooling fan. Do not use the recorder
in excessively hot or humid places, or in places that may be subject to sudden changes in temperature. Sudden changes in temperature can cause
condensation to form inside the recorder.
This can be a cause of HDD failure. While the recorder is switched on, do not unplug from the wall socket or switch the electricity off from the breaker switch.
Do not move the recorder immediately after switching it off. If you need to move the recorder, please follow the steps below: 1. After the message POWER
OFF is shown in the display, wait at least two minutes.
2. Unplug from the wall socket. 3. Move the recorder. If there's a power failure while the recorder is on there is a chance that some data on the HDD will be
lost. The HDD is very delicate. If used improperly or in an unsuitable environment, it is possible that the HDD will fail after a few years of use. Signs of
problems include playback unexpectedly freezing and noticeable block noise (mosaic) in the picture. However, sometimes there will be no warning signs of
HDD failure. If the HDD fails, no playback of recorded material will be possible.
In this case it will be necessary to replace the HDD unit. 7 Introduction About the internal hard disk drive Disc-related terms DVD +R (Double Layer)
Double layer recording technology offers two recordable layers on a single DVD disc, providing nearly double the capacity of 4.

7GB single layer DVDs. The greatest, most valuable benefit of double layer recording technology is increased capacity. Storage space is nearly doubled with
double layer DVD+R media, allowing consumers to burn up to 8.5GB of video on a single DVD+R disc. DVD ±R / DVD ±RW DVD -R and DVD +R are two
different standards for recordable DVD drives and discs. This format allows information to be recorded onto the DVD disc only once. DVD +RW and DVD
-RW are two standards for re-writable media, meaning the DVD content can be erased and re-recorded. Single-sided discs can hold 4.
38 Gigabytes and double-sided discs hold twice as much. VCD (Video CD) A VCD holds up to 74 minutes (650 MB disc) or 80 minutes (700 MB disc) of
MPEG-1 full-motion video along with quality stereo sound. MPEG MPEG is an international standard for video and audio compression. MPEG-1 is used in
encoding video for VCD and provides for multichannel surround sound coding such as PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS, MP3 and MPEG audio. MP3 MP3 is a
popular compression format used for digital audio files that yields very high near-CD quality.
WMA Windows media audio file. A type of coding / decoding developed by Microsoft Corp. JPEG Joint Pictures Expert Group. JPEG is a compressed file
format that allows you to save images with no limit on the number of colors. DivX DivX is the name of a revolutionary new video codec which is based on the
new MPEG-4 compression standard for video.
You will be able to play DivX movies using this recorder. PBC: Playback Control (Video CD only) Playback control is available for Video CD (VCD) version
2.0 disc formats. PBC allows you to interact with the system via menus, search functions, or other typical computer-like operations. Moreover, still pictures of
high resolution can be played if they are included in the disc. Video CDs not equipped with PBC (Version 1.1) operate in the same way as audio CDs. Title
(DVD video discs only) A title is generally a distinct section of a DVD disc. For example the main feature could be title 1, a documentary describing how the
film was made could be title 2, and cast interviews could be title 3. Each title is assigned a reference number enabling you to locate it easily.
Chapter (DVD video discs only) A chapter is a segment of a title such as a scene in a film or one interview in a series. Each chapter is assigned a chapter
number, enabling you to locate the chapter you want. Depending on the disc, chapters may not be recorded. Scene (VCD) On a video CD with PBC (playback
control) functions, moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sections called "scenes". Each scene is displayed in the menu screen and assigned a
scene number, enabling you to locate the scene you want. A scene is composed of one or several tracks. Track A distinct element of audiovisual information,
such as the picture or sound track for a specific language (DVD), or a musical piece on a video or audio CD. Each track is assigned a track number, enabling
you to locate the track you want. DVD discs allow one track of video (with multiple angles) and several tracks of audio. 8 a b c d e f g h i PROG.

Speaker, using the supplied System cable. Connect the speakers using the supplied speaker cables.

To obtain the best possible surround sound, adjust the speaker parameters (volume, distance, etc.).
Notes: Be sure to match the speaker cable to the appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and to . If the cables are reversed, the sound will be
distorted and will lack base. If you use front speakers with low maximum input rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive output on the speakers.
17 Hookup and Settings Speaker Positioning In the case of normal position use the 6 speakers (2 front speakers, 1 center speaker, 2 rear speakers and
subwoofer). If you want to play the excellent bass sound, DTS digital surround or Dolby Digital surround, you should connect a subwoofer.
· Front speakers According to your listening position set up the speakers for equal distance. And by hearing position set up the interval between speakers to
45 degree. · Center speaker The center speaker and front speakers are ideally the same height. But normally place it above or below the television. · Rear
speakers Place left and right behind the listening area. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere required for surround sound playback. For best
results, do not install the rear speakers too far behind the listening position and install them at or above the level of the listener's ears. It is also effective to
direct the rear speakers towards a wall or ceiling to further disperse the sound. In the case of a smaller room size, if the audience is near to the rear wall set
the rear speakers opposite each other, and set the rear speakers above 60 - 90 cm than the listener's ears. · Subwoofer This can be placed in any front
position.

Glossary for Sound Mode Allows you to enjoy 5.1(or 6) discrete channels of high quality digital audio from DTS program sources bearing the trademark such
as discs, DVD and compact discs, etc. DTS Digital Surround delivers up to 6 channels of transparent audio(which means identical to the original masters)
and results in exceptional clarity throughout a true 360 degree sound field. The term DTS is a trademark of DTS Technology, LLC. Manufactured under
license from DTS Technology, LLC. When playing recordings of live music and classic, this mode provides a feeling similar to actually being in a small
concert hall. When playing recordings of live music and classic, this mode provides a feeling similar to actually being in a large concert hall. This mode
provides a three dimensional effect similar to that of a movie theater. The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1(or 6) channels of digital
surround sound from a Dolby Digital program source.
If you play DVDs with " " mark, you can enjoy even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range. BYPASS (2CH STEREO)
Outputs the sound from the front left and right speakers and subwoofer. You can select BYPASS by pressing SOUND MODE on the remote control. (II) Dolby
Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that
extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.
MOVIE mode: The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced soundfield
directionality that approaches the quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound. MUSIC mode: The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings, and
provides a wide and deep sound space. The Music mode includes controls that allow the sound to be tailored to individual listening tastes.
MATRIX mode: The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode except that the directional enhancement logic is turned off. It may be used to enhance mono
signals by making them seem "larger." The Matrix mode may also find use in auto systems, where the fluctuations from poor FM stereo reception can
otherwise cause disturbing surround signals from a logic decoder.

The ultimate "cure" for poor FM stereo reception may be simply to force the audio to mono. 19 Hookup and Settings Delay Time Setting In Dolby Digital or
