Frequently asked questions

In this section you can find answers to frequently asked
questions on how to use your DVD recorder and what it
can do.

• How do I make a high-quality copy?

We recommend that you use the high-speed copy
mode. Although the copy is faster than real time,
there is no loss of picture or sound quality compared
to the original.

If there is not enough space on the disc to make a
copy at the same picture quality as the original, we
recommend that you change the recording mode to
‘Optimized’. This will fit the recording on to the
available space on the disc.

• Can I make a DVD copy of, say, a movie that has had

the commercials edited out?

Yes. There are two ways to do this. You can either edit
the video on the HDD then copy the edited version to
DVD, or you can assemble a Copy List that cuts out
the commercials, then record that to DVD.

• I have a two-hour recording on the HDD made in

FINE

mode. Can I copy this to DVD in high-speed mode?

A standard DVD disc can hold only an hour of

FINE

mode material, so you wouldn’t be able to make a
high-speed copy of this on to one disc. You could
divide up the recording on the HDD into two titles of
an hour each and copy these to two DVDs (using
high-speed copy). Alternatively, you could copy the
material in

SP

(or Optimized) so as to fit it all on to one

disc (note that there will be some loss in picture
quality if you do this).

• Can I record a dual mono broadcast to the HDD,

keeping both audio channels and switch them on
playback?

No. Only the audio channel set in the Dual Mono
Recording setting in the Initial Settings menu will be
recorded. If you need to record both channels of
audio, please record using a VR mode DVD-RW disc.

• Can I record continuously on the HDD for more than 6

hours?

No, the maximum continuous recording length is 6
hours. To record something longer than 6 hours, set
up a timer recording for the first 6 hours, then set
more timer recordings as needed for the remainder.
(Note that the recording will not be one continuous
title.)

• Can I copy a finalized Video mode disc (DVD-R or DVD-

RW) to the HDD?

Yes. Start playing the Video mode disc and use the
One Touch Copy button to copy the currently playing
title to the HDD. Repeat for as many titles on the disc
as you want to copy.

• Can I use high-speed copy to copy from DVD to HDD?

You can only use high-speed copy from DVD to HDD
when copying Original titles from a VR mode DVD-
RW.

• Can I copy a copy-once protected program from a

subscription satellite or cable channel to a DVD from
the HDD?

Yes, you can use high-speed copy to copy to a VR
mode DVD-RW disc. You can also divide the
recording on the HDD into a number of smaller titles
if the whole recording won’t fit on to one disc.

The picture freezes and the front
panel and remote control buttons
stop working.

• Press the front panel

STANDBY/ON

button to switch the power off, then

switch back on and restart playback. If the power fails to switch off, press and hold

STANDBY/ON

for 10 seconds until the power switches off.
