Before recording

Please be sure to read this critical background information prior to making a recording.

This recorder is equipped with a built-in HDD. Conventional video cassette recorders have required tapes to record, while this recorder enables recording on the HDD whenever you want, without selecting an available tape or confirming its recording time or tape remaining.

Further, the DVD-RAM drive on this recorder can record on a DVD-RAM/R/RW disc in the same way as a tape. You can also copy contents recorded on the HDD to a DVD-RAM/R/RW disc to create your own library.

Is your recorder ready?

Before recording a TV program on this recorder, insure that channels you want to record are correctly tuned in on this recorder.

If not tuned in, read the separate “INSTALLATION GUIDE” volume again, and confirm all the necessary connections and settings have been done.

Also, insure the clock is set precisely for program recording.

Disc initializing

Whenever you use a new DVD-RAM disc on this recorder, be sure to initialize the disc. For DVD-RAM discs, initialization is indispensable to the database system of this recorder.

Normally, the HDD does not need to be formatted. If the HDD does not work normally due to a problem, format the HDD for possible recovery. Once you format the HDD, all the recorded titles and Library information are deleted. Before formatting, be sure to write library information to a DVD-RAM disc and check any titles to be deleted.

DVD-RW discs can be emptied by initializing. DVD-R discs can be used on this recorder without initializing.

For details of initialization of DVD-RAM discs, see page 34.

If an initialized DVD-RAM disc is still unusable, it may become usable by executing “DVD-RAM physical format” in “Management settings” menu.

For “DVD-RAM physical format”, see page 35.

Note on recording on a DVD-RAM disc

Confirm disc compatibility and prepare an available DVD-RAM disc to record on ( page 6, 8).

Some discs may need to be formatted for use on this recorder. A message will appear asking you to execute disc formatting. Follow the procedure displayed on- screen to format the DVD-RAM disc compatible with this recorder.

Some DVD-RAM discs formatted on a PC may not be usable.

Note

This recorder records on a DVD-RAM disc if it complies with DVD-RAM standard Version 2.0, 2.1 or 2.2. However, you may not record on some DVD-RAM discs that have complicated contents (often, to protect the recorded data). When you select a DVD-RAM disc that has already been recorded, check that the disc is suitable for recording or the remaining time of the disc is displayed. It is recommended to use a new DVD-RAM disc for an important recording.

Note on recording on a DVD-RW disc

Confirm disc compatibility and prepare an available DVD-RW disc to record on ( page 6, 9).

Some discs may need to be initialized for use on the recorder. A message will appear asking you to execute disc initializing. Follow the procedure displayed on- screen for initializing the DVD-RW disc compatible with this recorder.

Some DVD-RW discs initialized on a PC may not be usable.

To play a DVD-RW disc recorded on this recorder on an other device, finalize the DVD-RW disc on this recorder. ( page 122)

The finalization disables the disc’s rewritability. To rewrite a finalized DVD-RW disc, cancel the finalization ( page 125).

On DVD-RW discs recorded on other devices, you cannot execute DVD-Video finalize process or cancel the finalize process, or add recordings on this recorder.

DVD-RW discs which are recorded on other devices and not finalized yet, cannot be read on this recorder. Do not rush to initialization. Check that the contents can be erased or not.
