Before you start
Features
• Chase play
Using chase play you can start watching a recording
before the recording has finished. For example, you could
set a timer recording for a program that you’re going to
miss the first 15 minutes of, then start watching while the
recorder is still recording the program 15 minutes ahead
of you.
• Simultaneous recording and playback
This feature allows you to record a broadcast program
while watching something else already recorded on the
same disc.
• Disc Navigator
The Disc Navigator makes editing and finding your way
around a disc easy by displaying a frame from each title
(or chapter within a title) as a visual reminder of what the
title (or chapter) is.
• Disc History
The Disc History screen shows disc information,
including how much free space remains for recording,
for the last 30 recordable discs loaded in the recorder.
Every time you load a recordable disc, the Disc History is
automatically updated with the latest information.
• Home Menu
The Home Menu gives you on-screen access to all the
recorder’s features in one convenient place, from setting
up the recorder, to programming a timer recording and
editing a recording.
• Cinema surround sound in your home
Connect this recorder to a Dolby Digital and/or DTS-
compatible amplifier/receiver to enjoy full surround
sound effects from Dolby Digital and DTS DVD discs.
• Easy Timer Recording
Setting the recorder to record a program is simple from
the Easy Timer Recording screen. Graphically set the
start and end times of the recording, enter the channel
number and change the recording quality if you want to.
That’s it!
• Program up to 32 timer recordings
You can program the recorder to record up to 32
programs, up to a month in advance, using the
ShowView system
*1
for easy programming if you want.
As well as single programs, you can specify daily or
weekly recordings, too.
This recorder is also compatible with VPS/PDC systems,
which ensure you don’t miss a timer recording, even if
the broadcast is not running to schedule.

• One-touch recording
Use one-touch recording to start recording immediately
in 30 minute blocks. Each time you press the record
button, the recording time is extended by another 30
minutes.
• Optimized recording
Optimized recording adjusts the recording quality
automatically if a timer recording will not fit onto a disc
with the settings that you made.
• Auto Start Recording from satellite receiver or
other set top box
With a satellite receiver or other set top box connected to
the
INPUT 3/AUTO START REC
inputs of this recorder,
you can start and stop recording automatically according
to the timer settings of the set top box.
• High quality 16-bit Linear PCM audio
When recording using one of the high quality record
settings (
FINE
or
MN32
), the audio is recorded in
uncompressed 16-bit Linear PCM format. This delivers
great sounding audio to accompany the high picture
quality. See
Setting the picture quality/recording time
on
page 46 for more on recording modes.
• Picture quality adjustment features
During playback, you can adjust various picture quality
settings to improve the picture. You can also adjust the
recording picture quality. For example, if you want to
make a DVD copy of an old video tape, you can optimize
the picture quality before transferring it to disc.
• Find what you want to watch quickly and easily
Unlike video tape that needs to be wound to the correct
place, you can jump right to the part of a DVD disc that
you want to watch. Search for a point on a disc by title,
chapter or time.
• Manual recording
In addition to the four preset recording quality modes
(
FINE
,
SP
,
LP
and
EP
), the manual recording mode allows
you to access 32 different recording quality/time settings,
giving you very fine control over the recording.
