This DVD Recorder records high quality pictures to rapid random access capable HDD (Hard disk drive) and 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 GUIDE button is pressed while the unit

is off, the Electronic Program Guide (EPG) displays in less than 1

second. (Quick Start Mode)

§Only when recording to the HDD or DVD-RAM

HDD recording

You can keep on recording your favorite programmes to an internal

HDD that is able to record up to 355 hours [EP (8 Hours) mode].

You can also high speed transfer (dub) your favorite programmes 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.

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 programme 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.

The GUIDE Plus+ system

The GUIDE Plus+ system provides programme information from the

host station displayed on the television like a TV programme

magazine. Setting up to record a broadcast is easy too. Simply

select the desired programme from the displayed list. You can also

search for desired programmes by displaying only the programmes

in a certain category.
