PRECAUTION FOR Hard Disk Drive
1.Before installing the recorder
This recorder has a
The inside of the device is
???DO NOT use the recorder in a location prone to vibration or dust.
???DO NOT place the recorder where difference in temperatures is large (condensation can occur), or where humidity is high.
???When condensation occurs
Water droplets form on the hard disc or head drums inside, possibly causing hard disc and heads to be damaged.
???About condensation
When
???DO NOT install the recorder where the cooling fans in its back may be blocked, or where the recorder may be closed in.
???DO NOT use the recorder placed vertically.
2.Before using the recorder
When the power of the unit is on, the hard disc is constantly rotating at high speed.
This requires you to note the following:
???DO NOT impart vibration or shock.
If given a heavy shock, not only is the data recorded damaged but also the hard disk itself can be damaged.
???DO NOT allow anything having strong magnetism or emitting strong electromagnetic waves (cell phones, etc.) near the recorder.
???DO NOT disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet when the power of the recorder is on.
If the power supply is cut off while the hard disc is in operation, it can be damaged or the data stored on it may be damaged. Be sure to push the POWER button before turning off the power.
3.While using the recorder
When viewing a program by selecting HDD (Hard Disk Drive), there occurs a slight time lag relative to the actual program being broadcast. This is because pictures received are once stored on the hard disk, and then played back.
The time lag is about three seconds. If you turn the power on with the hard disk already selected, it will take about 30 seconds before the pictures received appear on the screen. Up until then, any operation is disabled. But it is not a malfunction.
NOTES:

The Plug & Play function sets the clock and tuner channels automatically when power is first connected to the recorder. The antenna cable must be connected for the Plug & Play function.
The time and date can be set automatically from clock setting data that is transmitted by one of the regular TV broadcast channels. We call this TV channel the ???Host Channel??? and it is a PBS channel in your area.

About Your DBS Receiver
This recorder has two separate methods to control your DBS Receiver.

NOTES:
???The recorder can automatically change the DBS Receiver channels using the controller when the recorder has been programmed using Express Timer Programming ( pg. 58). Because satellite programming does not use PlusCode; the Controller cannot change the DBS Receiver channels during the VCR Plus+ Timer Recording.

Recording Speed on the HDD deck
This recorder has a 40 Gbyte hard disk drive. The pictures and sounds recorded on the HDD deck and other information are written down on the hard disk drive.
As recording format for the HDD deck, MPEG2 format, the same for DVD, is used. As a guide for picture quality, the ???bps??? unit is used to represent how much data can be recorded per second. The larger this value, the better the picture quality is but the more capacity is required for recording. Select SP for programs where quick movement occurs, such as sports programs, and SEP for talk shows, etc. where relativity less movement.
The recording speeds of the recorder are set as follows:

Live Memory
Playback
Equipped with a hard disk drive, this recorder allows informa- tion to be written to and read from the hard disk at high speeds. Taking advantage of this feature, you can temporarily record programs received with the tuner or from an externally- connected equipment ??? CATV or DBS, and can watch them only a few seconds behind actual air time.
In this recorder, viewing a program through HDD (not a recorded program) means you are always watching the program temporarily recorded on it.
This feature enables you to reverse the program back to view any previous part of it ??? so called ???Live Memory Playback???, which was impossible until now.
To access ???Live Memory Playback???, all that you have to do is to turn on the recorder and select the HDD deck.
So, the temporary recording is started on the HDD deck. And, you can select the length of the time for temporary recording from off, 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 3 hours.
About ???Live Memory Playback???
With a certain amount of space (for 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 3 hours) reserved on the hard disk, the recorder records broad- casts being received or signals input from an externally connected equipment.
Even while you are reversing the program to review any previous part, the recorder continues recording the same program or
When the reserved amount of time (or space) runs out, the recorder overwrites the previous recordings on the hard disk, starting with the oldest one, repeatedly if necessary. After having recorded a certain number of programs, if you try to increase the amount of your reserved time on HDD, you may not be allowed to do so because of possible lack of available space, and the recorder will inform you of this by displaying a message on the screen.

TIMER RECORDING
Timer recording allows you to program the recorder to automati- cally record a program that will be broadcast at some future time. The timer record function can be programmed using the VCR Plus+ or Express Timer programming ( pg. 58) up to 16 shows each on the HDD and VHS decks as far as a year in advance. The VCR Plus+ timer programming system eliminates the need to input channel, date, start and stop time data when setting the timer record function. Simply key in the PlusCode number for the TV program you wish to record and the recorder???s timer will be automatically programmed. (The PlusCode programming numbers are the numbers next to the program in most TV listing.)
Turn on the TV and select the AV mode.

VCR Plus+ Guide Channel Matching
VCR Plus+ programming system assigns a VCR Plus+ ???Guide Channel??? to broadcast and cable TV channels. These Guide Channel numbers are also called the VCR Plus+ Channel Codes. Most TV listings have a section, usually a chart, indicating the ???Guide Channel??? numbers assigned to each station. For accurate VCR Plus+ programming the VCR Plus+ Guide Channel number for each station should match the channel number on which it is received in your area.
NOTES:
OK
???In many instances the VCR Plus+ Guide Channel numbers for cable and broadcast TV stations DO NOT match the channel number on which it is received by your recorder or cable box. Check your TV listing, or contact your cable supplier for details.

The items marked with an asterisk (*) can be easily modified and registered again after recording by using Navigation system.
About Editing of Programs
Navigation system has three functions for editing of programs: modification or deletion of information, dubbing easily from HDD deck to VHS deck, and random assemble editing. In the following section, those functions are mentioned.
The Limitations of Registration
You can register information up to 60 programs in HDD Navigation. In VHS Navigation, you can register information up to 2000 programs or up to 680 cassettes.
To register the information on VHS Navigation, you need record a program for more than 5 minutes in SP mode (for more than 15 minutes in EP mode).
When the amount of information is at the limits of registration, you cannot record new program any more. In this case, you need to delete old programs to register new one.
