Getting started

This DVD Recorder records high quality images to rapid random access capable HDD (Hard disk drive) or DVD-RAM. This has resulted in many new features that outperform older tape formats. The following information summarizes a few of these features.

Instant recording

You no longer need to search for empty disc space. By pressing the recording button, the unit finds available recording space and begins recording right away. There is no need to worry about overwriting already recorded content.

1 Sec. Quick Start for Recording & EPG Display

From the power on, recording starts in about 1 second§ after the REC button is pressed. If the TV GUIDE button is pressed while the unit is off, the Electronic Program Guide (EPG) starts displaying in less than 1 second, with the full EPG displaying in about 1.5 seconds.

§Only when recording to the HDD or DVD-RAM

HDD recording

You can keep on recording your favorite programs to an internal HDD that is able to record up to 355 hours when using EP (8H) mode. You can also high speed transfer (dub) your favorite programs to DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW (DVD-Video format) or +R and create a backup disc.

SD card slot, DV input terminal

≥The SD card slot of this unit lets you play digital camera photographs and transfer (dub) them from a card to DVD-RAM for easy storage without using a computer.

≥The DV automatic recording function of this unit lets you easily transfer (dub) a video to the HDD by connecting only a single DV cable.

TV Guide On ScreenTM system

The TV Guide On ScreenTM system provides a handy electronic program guide (EPG) for checking what’s on. Setting up to record a broadcast is easy too. Simply select the desired program from the displayed list. You can also search for desired programs alphabetically or by displaying only the programs in a certain category.

≥This service may not be available in some areas.

Instant play

There is no need to rewind or search forward. Direct Navigator guides you to the beginning of the recorded video immediately.

Chasing playback

There is no need to wait until recording is complete. Without stopping recording, you can play the video currently being recorded from its beginning.

Simultaneous Recording and Playback

While recording, you can play another video program that was recorded previously.

Time Slip

During play, and also while recording, you can jump to the scene you wish to view by specifying the skip time.
