Getting started

Features

This unit allows recording of high quality video on HDD and DVD-RAM, the compact and durable digital media with fast random access. This media also out performs past tape formats in ease of operation.

∫Maximum 106 hours on HDD (Hard Disk Drive)

(‹page 15)

This model is installed with a high capacity 80 GB hard disk capable of recording a maximum of 106 hours (6 hours continuously). The same functions are available with HDD as with DVD-RAM and editing/record- ing of visual data from hard disk to DVD-RAM/R is easy-to-perform.

∫Maximum 12 hours on DVD-RAM

≥Using a double sided, 9.4 GB DVD–RAM allows you to record a maximum of 12 hours (6 hours continuously).

≥You can also use the FR (Flexible Recording) mode to fit record- ings efficiently onto the available space on the disc.

∫Auto Renewal Recording (➜ page 26)

If you record a program onto HDD repeatedly everyday or every week using timer recording, the unit will record the new program over the old one.

∫Make your own DVD-Video

≥Finalizing a DVD-R that has been recorded on produces an origi- nal DVD-Video in accordance with DVD-Video standards.

≥In addition to DVD-Video movie software, this unit can also play other types of discs including audio CDs and Video CDs. This means that this unit has the potential to play a central role in your home entertainment, from high-end home theater through to CD playback.

∫MP3 disc play (➜ page 23)

You can also play MP3 files recorded on CD-R and CD-RW, as well as DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-Audio, DVD-Video, Video CDs and CDs.

∫Progressive Scan

By connecting the component video terminal of this unit to a pro- gressive scan television, it is possible to enjoy the high quality pic- ture rendered by the progressive scan function.

∫Quick View (➜ page 21)

You can speed up play to make checking the contents faster. Both video and sound are played faster.

∫Relief Recording (➜ page 25)

When timer recording to DVD-RAM or DVD-R, the unit will compare the remaining space on the disc and the time necessary for record- ing. If space is insufficient the unit will record the program to HDD instead (there is no relief recording function the other way, i.e. from HDD to DVD-RAM or DVD-R).

∫Editing your recording [HDD] [RAM]

≥You can divide programs (➜ page 34).

≥Use play lists (➜ page 31) to select your favorite scenes and rear- range them to play in any order you like.

∫Exceptional sound and picture quality when recording

≥Audio is recorded using Dolby Digital stereo, enabling high quality sound recordings. When recording in XP mode it is possible to use LPCM (2 channel) to achieve sound recordings of even higher quality.

≥The encoder system used for recording is called “Hybrid VBR” and allows high quality recordings.

∫Fast access to the program you want to watch

(➜ page 19)

Use the Direct Navigator to find a program you have recorded and start play.
