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.
Values are estimates only. Parts of the HDD storage capacity will be reserved for the operations of this recorder and time shifting.

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 the set (e.g., CDs, magazines.) Install this 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) clearance from the rear and the top of the set and 5 cm (2) from the left and right to prevent overheating. Avoid high temperatures, moisture, water and dust Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing. Do not place any sources of danger on the apparatus (e.g., liquid filled objects, lighted candles.)
CAUTION! Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static sprays intended for discs.

The DVD recordable disc has a limited recording lifetime, please change a new disc for recording. The requested action requires that the time shift buffer (temporary HDD storage) to be cleared. All contents that were not marked for recording will be deleted. Reselect the { Delete HDD } option and delete the HDD contents again.
The message This will clear the time shift buffer appears.
