CAUTION
You are cautioned that any change or

authority to operate this equipment.
Note
This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the
following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
– Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet
on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.
Precautions
On safety
Should any solid object or liquid fall
into the cabinet, unplug the recorder
and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any
further.
On power sources
• Operate the recorder only on
120 V AC, 60 Hz.
• The recorder is not disconnected
from the AC power source as long
as it is connected to the wall outlet,
even if the recorder itself has been
turned off.
• Install this system so that the
power cord can be unplugged from
the wall socket immediately in the
event of trouble.
• If you are not going to use the
recorder for a long time, be sure to
disconnect the recorder from the
wall outlet. To disconnect the AC
power cord, grasp the plug itself;
never pull the cord.
On placement
• Place the recorder in a location
with adequate ventilation to
prevent heat build-up in the
recorder.
• If the recorder is brought directly
from a cold to a warm location, or
is placed in a very damp room,
moisture may condense on the
lenses inside the recorder and
cause damage to the video head,
tape, and the optical block. Should
this occur, the recorder may not
operate properly. When you first
install the recorder, or when you
move it from a cold to a warm
location, remove the disc and tape
and leave the recorder turned on
for about three hours before
operating the recorder.
• Do not place the recorder on a soft
surface such as a rug that might
block the ventilation holes.
• Do not place the recorder in a
confined space such as a bookshelf
or similar unit.
• Do not place the recorder in a
location near heat sources, or in a
place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, or mechanical
shock.
• Do not place the recorder in an
inclined position. It is designed to
be operated in a horizontal
position only.
• Keep the recorder, discs, and
cassettes away from equipment
with strong magnets, such as
microwave ovens, or large
loudspeakers.
• Do not place heavy objects on the
recorder.
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do
not place objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, on the
apparatus.
• When you move the recorder, take
out any discs. If you do not, the
disc may be damaged.
On recording
• Contents of the recording cannot
be compensated for if the
recording or playback is not made
due to a malfunction of the
recorder, disc, etc.
• Make trial recordings before
making the actual recording.
Copy guard function
Since the recorder has a copy guard
function, programs received through
an external tuner (not supplied) may
contain copy protection signals
(copy guard function) and as such
may not be recordable, depending
on the type of signal.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Caution: This recorder is capable
of holding a still video image or
on-screen display image on your
television screen indefinitely. If
you leave the still video image or
on-screen display image displayed
on your TV for an extended period
of time you risk permanent
damage to your television screen.
Plasma display panels and
projection televisions are
especially susceptible to this.
If you have any questions or
problems concerning your recorder,
please consult your nearest Sony
dealer.

Step 2: Connecting the
Cable Box/Satellite
Receiver (Tuner)
This recorder does not include a TV tuner.
To record TV programs on this recorder, you need
to connect the recorder to a tuner that has audio/
video output jacks.
If you have been using your VCR connected to an
antenna, connect this recorder to your VCR using
an audio/video cord. In this way, you will be able
to record TV programs.
You cannot record on this recorder if you have:
– a cable box or satellite receiver without audio/
video outputs.
– cable with no cable box.
– antenna only (no cable TV).
In the cases above, contact your cable service or
satellite service company to see if they can
provide you with a compatible cable box or
satellite receiver.
Using the cable box/satellite
receiver control function
This function allows the recorder to control a
cable box or satellite receiver via the supplied set
top box controller. You can also use the recorder’s
remote control to change channels on the cable
box/satellite receiver whenever the cable box/
satellite receiver and the recorder are turned on.
To use the cable box/satellite receiver control
function, you need to:
– Check the brand code of your cable box/satellite
receiver. See “Cable Box/Satellite Receiver
Brand Code” (page 121).
– Connect the set top box controller (page 13).
– Set the brand code number and the recorder’s
input that is connected to the cable box/satellite
receiver (page 23).
After setting up the cable box/satellite receiver
control, check that the recorder can correctly
control the cable box or satellite receiver
(page 25).

DV/D8 Dubbing (DV/D8 t DVD)
Before DV/D8 Dubbing
This section explains dubbing with a DV
camcorder via the DV IN jack on the front panel.
If you want to dub by way of the LINE IN jacks,
see “Recording From Another VCR or Similar
Device” on page 56.
About the DV IN jack
The DV IN jack on this recorder conforms to the
i.LINK standard. You can connect any other
equipment that has an i.LINK (DV) jack, and
record digital signals.
For more information about i.LINK, see “About
i.LINK” on page 115.
Connecting a DV Camcorder
to the DV IN Jack
You can connect a DV camcorder to the DV IN
jack on the recorder to record or edit from a DV/
D8 format tape. Operation is straightforward
because the DVD recorder will fast forward and
rewind the tape for you – you do not need to
operate your DV camcorder.
Refer to the instruction manual supplied with the
DV camcorder as well before connecting.
VCR-DVD recorder
DV IN
z Hint
If you plan to do additional editing on a disc after the
initial dub, use the DV IN jack and record on a DVD-RW
(VR mode) or DVD-R (VR mode). Note that erasing
unwanted scenes does not free up disc space for DVD-Rs
(VR mode).
to DV IN
i.LINK cable
(not supplied)
Notes
• The DV IN jack is for input only. It will not output
signals.
• You cannot use the DV IN jack when:
– your DV camcorder does not work with this recorder.
Connect the camcorder to the LINE IN jack and
follow the instructions of “Recording From Another
VCR or Similar Device” on page 56.
– the input signal is not in DVC-SD format. Do not
connect a MICROMV format DV camcorder even if
it has an i.LINK jack.
– the input signal is in HDV (1080i) format.
– the images on the tape contain copy protection
signals, which limit recording.

ONE-TOUCH DUBBING
You can simply record the entire contents of a DV/
D8 format tape onto a disc. The recorder controls
the DV camcorder for the whole process. You can
also select the scenes on the tape using the onscreen display. See “Dubbing selected scenes” on
page 88.
◆How titles and chapters are created
The dubbed contents on the disc become one title,
and the title is then divided into chapters at either
5 or 15-minute intervals, according to the “DVD
Auto Chapter” setting of “Features” in the “Setup”
display.
Notes
• To play the dubbed disc on other DVD equipment,
finalize the disc (page 66). If you set “Auto Finalize” to
“On” in the “Features” setup (page 103), the Auto
Finalize function works for DVD-RWs (Video mode),
DVD-Rs (Video mode) and DVD+Rs after dubbing.
For details, see page 67.
• Do not connect the
(USB) jack at the same time.

Modo de grabación
Esta grabadora dispone de ocho modos de
grabación distintos, al igual que los modos de
grabación SP o EP de las videograbadoras.
Seleccione el modo de grabación en función del
tiempo y la calidad de imagen deseada. Por
ejemplo, si la calidad de la imagen es su principal
prioridad, seleccione el modo “HQ” (alta calidad).
Si su principal prioridad es el tiempo de grabación,
el modo “SLP” puede ser su alternativa.
Presione REC MODE varias veces para
cambiar los modos de grabación.

Notas
• En modos de grabación distintos a HQ, la grabadora
comprime los datos de audio/video antes de la
grabación. Dado que las escenas de movimientos
rápidos o la existencia de ruido en la imagen requieren
que las tasas de compresión disminuyan, el tamaño de
los datos grabados aumenta y el tiempo de grabación
disponible se acorta. En la grabación de estas
imágenes, se recomienda un modo de grabación que
proporcione un tiempo de grabación más largo.
• Los siguientes casos pueden producir inexactitudes en
el tiempo de grabación.
– Grabación de imágenes con ruido de imagen o
escenas de movimiento rápido.
– Grabación de un programa con recepción defectuosa,
o una fuente de programa o video con imagen de baja
calidad
– Grabación en un disco ya editado
– Grabación de imágenes fijas o sonido únicamente
• Debido a que el modo de grabación de títulos grabados
se calcula después del muestreo de datos grabados
durante la reproducción, es posible que se muestre
diferente del modo que seleccionó durante la
grabación. Sin embargo, la grabación real se realizó
correctamente en el modo seleccionado.
