Setting up your recorder

Unpacking and setting up

Your carton should contain:

•DVD recorder

•User Guide

•Remote control

•Video cable

•Audio cable

•Batteries (2)

If you need to replace any of these items, call our help line mentioned in the Warranty section of this guide.

Carefully remove all the components from the carton and make sure that you have all the necessary components before you dispose of the carton.

•Remove all packing materials from the individual components.

•Do not remove any labels or stickers on the back panel of your recorder.

•Place your recorder in the location you want. Your recorder is designed to be used on a level, stable, flat surface, such as a table, desk, shelf, or stand convenient to a power outlet, out of direct sunlight, and away from sources of excess heat, dust, moisture, or vibration.

•Unwind the AC power cord and extend the cord to its full length, then plug it into the back of your recorder.

Power source

Use the polarized AC line cord provided for operation on AC power. Insert the AC cord plug into a standard 120 V 60 Hz polarized AC outlet.

If you cause a static discharge when touching your recorder and your recorder fails to function, unplug your recorder from the AC outlet and plug it back in. Your recorder should return to normal operation.

Warnings

•The system uses a polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow blade. The plug will only fit into matching polarized power outlets.

This is a safety feature to reduce the possibility of electric shock. If the plug will not fit in your power outlets, you probably have outdated, non-polarized outlets which should be changed by a qualified, licensed electrician. Do not file the wide blade on the plug or use an adapter to make the plug fit into your outlet. This defeats the safety feature and could expose you to electric shock.

•Never connect the AC cord plug to other than the specified voltage (120 V 60 Hz). Use the attached power cord only.

Connecting your recorder to a TV

Notes

•Make sure that your recorder is connected directly to the TV, then tune the TV to the correct video input channel.

•Do not connect your recorder’s AUDIO OUTPUT jack to the PHONO IN jack (record deck) of your audio system.

•Do not connect your recorder through another VCR. The DVD image could be distorted by the copy protection system.

•The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio may be distorted during playback. Position the units away from each other or turn off your recorder after removing the disc.

Make one of the following connections, depending on the capabilities of your TV.

Video connection

To connect to your TV with a video cable:

•Connect the VIDEO OUT jack on your recorder to the VIDEO IN jack on the TV using the video cable supplied.

If you use this connection, set the TV’s source selector to VIDEO.

Component video/progressive scan connection

If your television is a high-definition or “digital ready” television, you can take advantage of your recorder’s progressive scan output for the highest quality video possible.
