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:
1Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362
5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3Re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.

What kind of disc should I use for
recording?
You can only record on DVD±R and
DVD±RW discs. DVD±R/±RW is the most
compatible recordable DVD format on the
market today. They are fully compatible to
most of the existing DVD-Video players and
DVD-ROM drives in computers.
What is the capacity of a DVD±R/±RW
disc?
4.7GB, or equivalent to 6 CDs. You can store
only one hour of recordings on a single disc at
the highest quality (DVD standard) and about
6 hours recordings at the lowest quality
(VHS standard).
The recording mode indicates the number of
hours that will t on a single disc.
What is the difference between DVDvR
and DVD±RW?
DVD±R is “recordable” and DVD±RW is
“erasable” and “rewritable”. With a DVD±R,
you can record multiple sessions on the same
disc, but when the disc is full, you cannot
record any more on the disc. The DVD±RW
allows you to record over the same disc
repeatedly.
Can I copy a VHS tape or DVD from an
external player?
Yes, but only if the VHS tape or DVD is not
copy protected.
What are Titles and Chapters?
A DVD disc contains Titles and Chapters,
which are similar to the Titles and Chapters of
a book. A Title is often a complete movie and
is broken down into Chapters, or individual
scenes from the movies.
Title
Chapter
Title
Chapter Chapter Chapter Chapter
cha
p
ter markers
Programmes are recorded as a single title, it
may consist of one chapter or a few chapters
within a title, depending on the recording
settings.
How do I set up Titles and Chapters?
The DVD recorder automatically creates a
new Title every time you start a new
recording. You can then add Chapters to these
recordings manually or have them
automatically inserted at 5-minutes intervals.
What does “nalising” a disc do?
Finalising a disc locks the disc so it can no
longer be recorded, only required for DVD±R.
It will then be compatible with virtually any
DVD player. To close a disc without nalising
it, simply stop recording and eject the disc.
You will still be able to record on the disc if
there is storage space for more recordings.
How good is the quality of the
recording?
There are a few picture quality levels to
choose from, ranging from “1 hour mode”
(High Quality) to “6 hours mode” (VHS
quality). Press REC MODE button on the
remote control to choose the quality level that
best suits your purpose and the length of
material.

Cleaning discs
Some problems occur because the disc
inside the recorder is dirty (frozen picture,
sound disruptions, picture distortions). 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
analogue discs.
Since the optical unit (laser) of the DVD
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.

Connecting to a VCR or
other similar device
This connection enables you to record
from video tape to a DVD±R/±RW and
allows the VCR to be used for playback if
the DVD recorder is turned off.
AConnect the Antenna/ Cable TV signal to
the antenna input (RF IN) socket on the
VCR.
BUse the supplied RF coaxial cable to
connect the antenna output (RF OUT)
socket on the VCR to the ANTENNA
socket on the DVD recorder.
CUse another RF coaxial cable to connect
the TV socket on the DVD recorder
to the antenna input socket on the TV.
DUse the scart cable to connect the EXT1
TO TV-I/O socket on the DVD
recorder to the corresponding SCART
input socket on the TV.
EUse another scart cable to connect the
EXT2 AUX-I/O socket on the DVD
recorder to the scart output socket
(possibly labelled as TV OUT or TO TV)
on the VCR.
Helpful Hints:
– Most commercial video cassettes and
DVDs are copy-protected and therefore
cannot be recorded.
– Connect the DVD 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 DVD recorder.
TIPS: Before making or changing any connections, make sure that all the devices are disconnected
from the power outlet.
