Basic setup

Starting up the recorder

After all the necessary connections,

•Turn on the equipment connected to the recorder.

•Select the corresponding video input on your television.

Perform these selections whenever you operate the recorder.

Turning the power on

Press ON/STANDBY button from the remote control or on the front panel of the recorder.

While the icon is flashing, the recorder is checking the status and reading data of the HDD and the DVD drive for startup. If the DVD drive does not contain a disc, the recorder consumes less time to startup, because it does not need to read data from the DVD drive.

While the “Loading” icon is flashing, the recorder cannot respond to any operations of buttons other than CH/Page and INPUT SELECT. Operate all other functions after the icon has disappeared.

Notes

•When the recorder is turned on for the first time, the Welcome screen will be displayed after the “Loading” icon

has disappeared. See “A: TV Guide On Screen setup”

( page 32).

•While displaying “WAIT” on the front panel, do not operate the recorder or unplug the power cord. Otherwise, this may result in malfunction of the recorder.
