c???Cautions??? on page 2

c???Important Product Safety Instructions??? on the previous pages

PRECAUTION FOR Hard Disk Drive

1.Before installing the recorder

This recorder has a built-in hard disk drive, which is a device to read minute magnetic changes.

The inside of the device is precision-built, which, when installing the recorder, requires you to note the following:

???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 well-cooled beer is poured into a glass, water droplets often form around its outside. This phenom enon is called condensation.

???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.

cAuto clock set is performed first. The auto clock set function scans all the channels received by your recorder to find the Host Channel and then sets the clock. "Auto" blinks on the front display panel during Auto clock set.

cAuto channel set is performed next. The auto channel set function scans all the channels that are receivable by your recorder. It then automatically assigns each receivable channels to the CH +/??? buttons. It skips non-receivable channels. During auto channel set the channel numbers are displayed as they are scanned and set.

cWhen Plug & Play has been completed successfully the correct time is displayed.

cIf an incorrect time or ?????? ???:??? ?????? appears on the display panel, see ???What To Do If Plug & Play Has Failed??? below.

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 externally-input signals.

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.

About limitation on Live Memory Playback

Recording to perform Live Memory playback, which means the use of temporary recording on the hard disk, works for signals from built-in tuners, external tuners and externally- connected equipment. This feature also works for copy- protected programs.

The temporary recording for Live Memory is canceled in the following cases, and will start all over again when it is to resume.

???When channels are changed

???When the power is turned off

???When the thumbnails are changed

???When the setting for Live Memory playback is changed

???When recording is started via the HDD deck or the VHS deck

???When a recorded program is played back or deleted

cOnce the cassette is ejected, the calibration data is canceled. The next time the cassette is used for recording, calibration is re-performed.

cWhile Video Calibration is operative, the PAUSE button will not function.

cTo display the Video Calibration screen, ???SUPERIM- POSE??? must be set to ???ON??? or the Video Calibration screen will not appear (Z pg. 41).

ATTENTION

nAs calibration takes place before recording actually starts, there is a delay of about 7 seconds after REC and PLAY on the remote, or REC on the recorder???s front panel, are pressed. To make sure you record the desired scene or program completely, first perform the following steps:

1)Press and hold PAUSE, and press REC to engage the RECORD PAUSE mode.

c The VCR then automatically checks the condition of the tape and, after about 7 seconds, re-enters

RECORD PAUSE.

2)Press PLAY to start recording.

nIf you want to bypass Video Calibration and start recording right away, set ???VIDEO CALIBRATION??? to "OFF" in step 3 of the Preparation procedure (Z pg. 47).

S-VHS (Super VHS), S-VHS

ET and VHS

Your recorder can record in S-VHS, S-VHS ET or VHS.

S-VHS allows you to make high quality video recordings with a horizontal resolution of 400 lines. This compares with the 240 lines of resolution of normal VHS recordings. To achieve the highest quality picture we recommend that you record in S-VHS mode.

By using S-VHS ET it is possible to record and play back with S- VHS picture quality on VHS cassettes with this recorder. For details, refer to the next page.

S-VHS ET

This facility allows recording with S-VHS picture quality on VHS cassettes. You can play back those cassettes recorded in S-VHS ET on a VCR equipped with S-VHS ET.

NOTES:

cTo obtain the highest quality recording and playback pictures over a longer period on this model, S-VHS recording on S-VHS tape is recommended.

cYou can play back S-VHS ET recordings not only on this recorder but also on another VHS VCR equipped with S-

VHS ET.

*It is recommended to specifically label S-VHS ET recordings so you can easily distinguish them from regular VHS recordings.

cS-VHS ET recordings can also be played back on an S- VHS VCR or a VHS VCR equipped with SQPB (S-VHS QUASI PLAYBACK) function. However, there may be cases where S-VHS ET playback is not possible on a particular VCR.

cFrequent still, frame-by-frame and slow-motion playback may damage the tape and cause picture degradation.

cWith some tapes, better picture quality may not be obtained even with S-VHS ET recording. It is recom- mended that you do test record beforehand to make sure whether better results can be obtained.

cHigh Grade tapes are recommended for superior results.

cMake sure that ???VIDEO CALIBRATION??? is set to ???ON??? at the Function screen (Z pg. 47).

cDuring S-VHS ET playback, noise may appear depending on tape quality.

cNoise may appear during still, frame-by-frame and slow- motion playback.

cIf the playback picture becomes blurred or interrupted, use a cleaning cassette.

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

cIn 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.

cMany broadcast TV stations can be viewed on cable. Check your TV listing, or contact your cable supplier for details.
