Basic Recording from a TV

Follow the instructions below to record a TV program. Recording starts immediately and continues until the disc is full or you stop the recording.

Note:

You must load a recordable disc for DVD recording.

1.Press HOME.

The HOME menu appears.

2.Select a media (HDD or DISC) to record TV program then press ENTER.

3.Select [TV (HDD)] or [TV (DVD)] option then press

ENTER.

Also make sure that the TV input is set to this recorder.

If you load a completely blank disc, the recorder takes a short while to initialize the disc.

4.Set a recording mode as necessary by pressing REC MODE repeatedly. (HQ, SQ, LQ, EQ)

Changing TV Audio Channel

You can select the audio channel (language) to listen by pressing AUDIO during viewing TV program. The current audio channel is displayed on-screen.

Stereo or mono broadcast:

Stereo Left Right Mono

Bilingual broadcast:

Main Sub Main+Sub

For TV recording with bilingual, set audio channel from the [TV Rec Audio] in sub-menu of the Setup menu (see page 23).

If the sound is of poor quality when set to Stereo, you can often improve it by changing to Mono (Left or Right).

This recorder can record either NICAM or regular audio. If the NICAM setting (page 17) is set to Auto, then if the broadcast is NICAM, the audio automatically changes to NICAM and you can record the NICAM audio. If the broadcast is non- NICAM, the regular audio is always recorded.

If NICAM sound distortion occurs, due to poor reception, you can switch off NICAM setting of the program.
