General Features
This unit allows you to record and playback high quality
digital video on DVD-RAM/-RW/-R discs or on the HDD.
You can also edit digital images on DVD-RAM/-RW discs
or HDD. (DVD+RW/+R discs can be played, but cannot be
recorded.)
HDD Recording
• DVD-SH853
You can record up to Approx. 264 hours of video (in E
8Hr mode) on the internal 160 GB (gigabyte) hard disk
(HDD).
• DVD-SH855
You can record up to Approx. 421 hours of video (in E
8Hr mode) on the internal 250 GB (gigabyte) hard disk
(HDD).
With both recordable DVD and a high-capacity HDD in
the same recorder, you have the  exibility to keep
recordings on the HDD for quick access anytime, or
record to DVD for archiving or playing on other DVD
players.
Copy between HDD and DVD
You can copy recordings from the HDD to recordable
DVD, or from recordable DVD to the HDD.
You can only copy in the same record mode as source
title.
Simultaneous Recording and Playback
layback and recording for both the DVD and the
built-in hard disk drive (HDD) are completely
independent. For example you can record a broadcast
programme to either a recordable DVD or the HDD, while
watching another recording you already made on the
same DVD or on the HDD.
High quality digital audio and video recording
and playback
You can record up to approximately 16-hours of video on
a double side 9.4GB DVD-RAM disc, up to 15-hours on a
dual-layer 8.5GB DVD-R disc, and up to 8-hours on a
4.7GB DVD-RAM/-RW/-R disc, depending on the
recording mode.
Selectable Recording Mode
You can set your HDD & DVD Recorder to one of four
di erent recording speeds, each varying in recording
quality and length. E (6Hr or 8Hr) mode yields the most
recording time, L & S modes provide less recording
time with higher quality recording, X mode gives you
the highest quality recording.
The dual layer DVD-Rs have approximately double the
capacity of single layer DVD-Rs. (See page 43)
Automated Quality Adjustment for Timer

How to use the HDD & DVD Recorder
Step 1 : Select the disc type or HDD
lease check available disc type before recording.
(DVD+RW/DVD+R discs can be played, but cannot be
recorded.)
If you want to repeatedly record on the same disc or you
want to edit the disc after recording, select a rewritable
DVD-RW or DVD-RAM type disc. If you want to save a
recording without any changes, choose a non-rewritable
DVD-R. You can record  les directly to the built-in HDD or
edit a recorded  le.
Step : Format the disc to start recording
Unlike a VCR, the HDD & DVD Recorder starts formatting
when an unused disc is inserted. This is required for the
preparation of recording on a disc.
Using the HDD
Formatting unnecessary.
Using a DVD-RAM
This type of disc can be formatted in DVD-Video
Recording format (VR mode). You can edit recorded
images and create a playlist in a speci c sequence
according to your requirements.
Using a DVD-RW
This type of disc can be formatted in either DVD-Video
format (V mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR
mode). For an unused disc, a message that asks whether
to initialise a disc or not. If you select “DVD-VR” or
“DVD-V”, initialising will be started. You can play a Video
mode disc on various DVD components. A VR mode disc
allows more varied editing.

English - 12
Using a DVD-R
Formatting disc is unnecessary and only V Mode
Recording is supported. You can play these type of discs
on various DVD components only when they have been
 nalised.
You can only use either the VR or Video mode on a
DVD-RW, but not both at the same time.
You can format a DVD-RW to V or VR mode using
Disc Manager. It should be noted that the disc’s
data will be lost when changing formats.
Step 3 : Recording
There are two di erent recording methods, Direct
Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is
classi ed as follows:
Recording mode : X (high quality mode), S (standard
quality mode), L (long recording mode), and E
(extended mode) according to the recording mode.
When recording is set in the FR mode, the best quality
picture is recorded with regards to the remaining time on
the disc.
Step 4 : Playing
You can select the title you want to play in a displayed
menu and then immediately start playback.
A DVD consists of sections, called titles, and sub-
sections, called chapters.
During recording, a title is created between two points
where you start and stop recording.
Chapters will be created automatically when you  nalise
recording on DVD-RW/-R discs in Video mode.
The chapter’s length (interval between chapters) varies
according to the recording mode.
M

Step 5 : Editing a recorded disc
Editing on discs is easier than conventional video tapes.
The HDD & DVD Recorder supports many di erent edit
functions, possible only with DVDs and HDD.
With a simple and easy edit menu, you can operate
various edit functions, such as delete, copy, rename, lock,
etc., on a recorded title.
Creating a playlist (DVD-RAM/-RW in VR mode, HDD)
With this HDD & DVD Recorder, you can create a new
playlist on a disc and edit it without the original, pre-
existing recording.
Step 6 : Finalising & Playing on other
DVD components
To play your DVD on other DVD components,  nalising
may be necessary. First,  nish all editing and recording
operations, then  nalise the disc.
When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode
DVD discs recorded in VR mode can only be played back
in DVD recorders, not players.
When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode
The disc should be  nalised  rst to enable playback on
anything other than this HDD & DVD Recorder. No more
editing or recording can be made on the disc once it has
been  nalised.
To enable recording on the disc again, the disc must be
un nalised.
When using a DVD-R disc
You should  nalise the disc to play it on a component
other than this HDD & DVD Recorder. You cannot edit or
record on the disc once it has been  nalised.
You can  nalise the disc automatically using EZ
Record function. (See page 32)
