Connecting the antenna cables
These connections enable you to watch and record TV programs using this recorder. If the antenna signal is connected via a VCR, Cable Box or Satellite Receiver, ensure that these devices are turned on in order to watch or record the cable programs. If your TV is equipped with an Antenna In (RF IN) jack only, see Step 2: Optional connections TV has only an antenna input jack for the complete connection to your TV. If you want to connect to a VCR and/or Cable Box/Satellite Receiver, see Step 2: Optional connections for the complete connection to your TV.
A Connect the existing Antenna/Cable TV
signal (or from the Cable Box/Satellite Receiver {RF OUT or TO TV}) to the ANTENNA-IN jack on the recorder.
B Use the supplied RF coaxial cable to
connect the TV-OUT jack on the recorder to the antenna input jack on your TV (VHF/UHF RF IN). Helpful Hint: Depending on how you have currently connected your TV channel (directly from an off-air antenna or Cable box or VCR), you will have to disconnect some of the cables before you make the above connection.
TIPS: Before making or changing any connections, make sure that all the devices are disconnected from the power outlet.
Step 1: Basic Recorder Connections (continued)

Option 1: Using an audio cable You can connect the recorder to a two channel stereo system or receiver in order to enjoy the stereo sound system. Use the supplied audio cable (red/white plugs) to connect the AUDIO OUTPUT jacks to these devices with the same input jacks.

Frequently Asked Questions
You can only record on both DVDR and DVDRW discs. DVD+R/+RW is the most compatible recordable DVD format on the market today. They are fully compatible to most of the existing DVD-Video players and DVD-ROM drives in computers. A DVD disc contains Titles and Chapters, which are similar to the Titles and Chapters of a book. A Title is often a complete movie and is broken down into Chapters, or individual scenes from the movies.

Chapter

What is the capacity of a DVD recordable disc?
4.7GB, or equivalent to 6 CDs. You can store only one hour of recordings on a single disc at the highest quality (DVD standard) and about 8 hours recordings at the lowest quality (VHS standard).
What is the difference between DVDR and DVDRW?
DVDRs are recordable discs and DVDRWs are rewritable discs. With a DVDR disc, you can record multiple sessions on the same disc, but when the disc is full, you cannot record any more content on the disc. The DVDRW disc allows you to record over the same disc repeatedly.
A program is recorded as a single title, it may consist of one chapter or a few chapters within a title, depending on the recording settings. How do I set up Titles and Chapters? The recorder will automatically create a new Title each time you start a new recording. For DVD recordings, you can add chapters manually. For HDD recordings, you can preset chapters to be automatically inserted at 5-minutes intervals.

What is DV?

Using DV, also known as i.LINK, you can connect a DV-equipped camcorder to this recorder using a single DV cable for input and output of audio, video, data and control signals. This recorder is only compatible with DV-format (DVC-SD) camcorders. Digital satellite tuners and Digital VHS video recorders are not compatible. You cannot connect more than one DV camcorder at a time to this recorder. You cannot control this recorder from external equipment connected via the DV IN jack.
What does finalizing a disc do?
Finalizing a disc locks the disc so it can no longer be recorded, only required for recorable DVDs. It will then be compatible with virtually any DVD player. To close a disc without finalizing it, simply stop recording and eject the disc. you will still be able to record on the disc if there is room for more recordings.
