Care and Safety Information
CAUTION! High voltage! Do not open the device. You run the risk of getting an electric shock. The machine does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Please leave all maintenance work to qualified personnel. English 10
1_dvdr3305_05_eng_16862.indd 10 2005-10-31 5:00:01 PM

Cleaning discs

Some problems occur because the disc inside the recorder is dirty (frozen picture, sound disruptions, picture distortions). To avoid these problems, discs should be cleaned on a regular basis. To clean a disc, use a micro fibre cleaning cloth and wipe the disc from the center to the edge in a straight line.

Setup precautions

Finding a suitable location Place the set on a flat, hard and stable surface. Do not place the set on a carpet. Do not position the set on top of other equipment that might heat it up (e.g., receiver or amplifier). Do not put anything under or above the set (e.g., CDs, magazines). Install the unit near the AC outlet and where the AC power plug can be reached easily. Space for ventilation Place the apparatus in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat build up. Allow at least 10 cm (4.5) clearance from the rear and the top of the set and 5 cm (2.3) from the left and right to prevent overheating.
5cm (2.3") 10cm (4.5") 10cm (4.5")
CAUTION! Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static sprays intended for analogue discs. Since the optical unit (laser) of the DVD recorder operates at a higher power than regular DVD or CD players, cleaning CDs intended for DVD or CD players may damage the optical unit (laser). Therefore, refrain from using a cleaning CD.

1_dvdr3305_05_eng_16862.indd 17 2005-10-31 5:00:02 PM
Connecting a camcorder to the front sockets
You can use the front sockets to copy camcorder recordings. These sockets are located behind the flap on the right hand side and provides convenient connections for a camcorder. Using S-VIDEO In or VIDEO In socket Use the S-VIDEO connection if you have a Hi8 or S-VHS(C) camcorder. It provides better picture quality. Alternatively, you can use VIDEO connection if your camcorder has only a single video output (Composite Video, CVBS). A Connect the S-VIDEO or VIDEO socket at the front panel of the DVD recorder to the corresponding S-VHS or Video output socket on the camcorder. B Use an audio cable (red/ white ends) to connect the AUDIO L/R sockets at the front panel of the DVD recorder to the audio output sockets on the camcorder.
Before you start operating, press REC SOURCE on the remote control repeatedly to select Front S-VIDEO or Front CVBS as the input channel, depending on your connections. For recording, see pages 27~29.
