The hard disk has a high storage density, which enables long recording durations and quick access to the written data. However, it can easily be damaged by shock, vibration or dust, and should be kept away from magnets. To avoid losing important data, observe the following precautions. • Do not apply a strong shock to the recorder. • Do not place the recorder in a location subject to mechanical vibrations or in an unstable location. • Do not place the recorder on top of a hot surface, such as a VCR or amplifier (receiver). • Do not use the recorder in a place subject to extreme changes in temperature (temperature gradient less than 10 °C/hour). • Do not move the recorder with its mains lead connected. • Do not disconnect the mains lead while the power is on. • When disconnecting the mains lead, turn off the power and make sure that the hard disk drive is not operating (the clock is displayed in the front panel display and all recording or dubbing has stopped). • Do not move the recorder for one minute after you have unplugged the mains lead. • Do not attempt to replace or upgrade the hard disk by yourself, as this may result in malfunction. If the hard disk drive should malfunction, you cannot recover lost data. The hard disk drive is only a temporary storage space. 2 About repairing the hard disk drive • The contents of the hard disk drive may be checked in case of repair or inspection during a malfunction or modification. However, the contents will not be backed up or saved by Sony. • If the hard disk needs to be formatted or replaced, it will be done at the discretion of Sony. All contents of the hard disk drive will be erased, including contents that violate copyright laws. On power sources • The recorder is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the recorder itself has been turned off. • 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 (mains lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord. • Before disconnecting the AC power cord (mains lead), check that the recorder’s hard disk is not operating (recording or dubbing) on the front panel display. On placement • Place the recorder in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in 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 and discs away from equipment with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers. • Do not place heavy objects on the recorder. On recording • Note that the contents of the recording cannot be compensated for under any and all conditions, including conditions that may arise due to a malfunction of this unit. • Make trial recordings before making the actual recording.

In addition, the surround effects may also be difficult to hear depending on the title being played and the environment where the recorder is being used. • When you select one of the surround modes, turn off the surround settings of the connected TV or amplifier (receiver). • Make sure that your listening position is between and at an equal distance from your speakers, and that the speakers are located in similar surroundings. • Angles and subtitles cannot be changed with titles recorded on this recorder. • When you use the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL) jack to listen to MPEG audio signals and set “MPEG” to “MPEG” in “Audio” setup, no sound will come from your speakers if you select one of the TVS modes. • 96 kHz PCM audio and DTS audio do not have surround effects. • The surround effects do not work while performing playback quickly with sound. • When playing DTS-encoded CDs, excessive noise will be heard from the analogue stereo jacks. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, the consumer should take proper precautions when the analogue stereo jacks of the recorder are connected to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external 5.1-channel decoder system must be connected to the digital jack of the recorder. • Set the sound to “Stereo” using the (audio) button when you play DTS sound tracks on a CD (page 55). Notes on playing DVDs with a DTS sound track DTS audio signals are output only through the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack.

Before you start, read the following precautions, which are common to both dubbing methods. If you want to record from a digital video camera connected to the DV IN jack (RDR-HX710/ HX910 only), see “DV Dubbing (RDR-HX710/ HX910 only)” on page 77. To record from equipment connected to the LINE IN jacks, see “Recording from connected equipment without a timer” on page 52. • For a title whose picture size (16:9 or 4:3) is mixed: – When dubbed from the HDD to DVD-RW (Video mode) or DVD-R, the picture size is determined by the setting in “DVD Rec. Picture Size” (page 47). – When dubbed from HDD to DVD+RW or DVD+R, the picture size is always 4:3. – When dubbed from HDD to DVD-RW (VR mode), the originally recorded picture size is retained. z Hints • When you dub a Playlist title, it is recorded as an Original title. • When dubbed from a DVD to the HDD, the picture size and the sound types originally recorded are retained. b Notes • To play a dubbed disc on other DVD equipment, finalize the disc (page 39). • The recorder may not function as described depending on the disc status. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen. • You cannot dub from DVD VIDEOs to the HDD. • Thumbnails that you have set for the originally recorded title (page 34) will not be retained in the dubbed title. Before you start… • Select the disc type according to your needs (page 8). This recorder can record on various discs. • You cannot record both the main and sub sound on a DVD+RW, DVD-RW (Video mode), DVD+R, or DVD-R. For bilingual programs, set “DVD Bilingual Rec.” to either “Main” (default) or “Sub” in “Options” setup (page 94). • Timer recordings and Synchro-Recording do not start during dubbing. Before you start, check the Timer List menu to see if there is any timer recording due to start during dubbing. • When “Auto Chapter” of “Features” setup is set to “On,” chapter marks are automatically inserted at approximately 6-minute intervals while dubbing from the HDD to a DVD, or when the recorder detects picture and sound changes while dubbing from a DVD to the HDD. The chapter marks in the dubbing source are not retained in the dubbed title. 72 About “Dub Mode” With this recorder, the recording mode for dubbing is displayed as “Dub Mode.” Two dubbing method are available: High-speed Dubbing and Rec Mode Conversion Dubbing. Read the following and select according to the required time, disc space, and picture quality. Dubbing at high-speed (High-speed Dubbing) HDD , +RW / -RWVR / -RWVideo / +R / -R Allows you to dub what you have stored in the HDD to a high-speed DVD (8x-speed DVD+RWs/6x-speed DVD-RWs/16x-speed DVD+Rs/16x-speed DVD-Rs, or slower versions of each disc type), without changing the recording mode. Set “Dub Mode” to “Fast” in “Title Dub” or “Dub Selected Titles” display (page 74). You cannot select “Fast” when titles that cannot be dubbed at high speed are selected (such as the titles displayed in “Notes” below). The minimum required time is as follows (approximate).

The value may vary depending on the disc condition. Also, this recorder may be unable to record at the maximum speed for discs that support recording speeds exceeding the maximum value. The maximum drive speed of this recorder is 6x when using 6x-speed or faster DVD+RWs. The maximum drive speed of this recorder is 8x when using 8x-speed or faster DVD+Rs/DVD-Rs. High-speed dubbing is not available when dubbing titles recorded in SLP and SEP mode to DVD+RWs and DVD+Rs. b Notes • High-speed Dubbing is not available for the following titles: – Titles recorded in HQ+. – Titles that contain both main and sub sounds (except DVD-RWs (VR mode)). – Titles recorded in mixed picture size (4:3 and 16:9 etc.), (except DVD-RWs (VR mode)). • When dubbed to a DVD-RW (Video mode)/ DVD+RW/DVD+R/DVD-R, remnants of edited titles may remain on the disc. If you edit a title, use the Rec Mode Conversion Dubbing method. This will smooth out the pauses between the scenes. • When dubbing to a DVD+R DL disc, the video may be momentarily interrupted at the point where the layers switch. You cannot dub movies and other DVD Videos to the HDD. Also, when dubbing from a DVD to the HDD, a gray, blank screen will be recorded for scenes that contain a copy protection signal. Copy protection signals Copy-Free (No copy protection signal) Copy-Once Dubbing HDD HDD +RW -RWVR , *1 b Note Dubbing (HDD y DVD) Allows you to dub from the HDD to a DVD or vice versa, in a dubbing mode that differs from the original recordings. For example, when you dub an HQ title (data size is large) in SP mode, you can reduce the data size, saving more titles using less space. Select a mode different from the original recording in “Dub Mode” in the steps of “Dubbing a single title (Title Dub)” on page 74 or “Dubbing multiple titles (Dub Selected Titles)” on page 75. When a title recorded to HDD in HQ or HQ+ mode is converted to another mode, the recorder automatically assigns an appropriate bit rate, thus retaining the original picture quality as much as possible.

Dolby Digital (page 90) Digital audio compression technology developed by Dolby Laboratories. This technology conforms to multi-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. Dolby Digital provides the same discrete channels of high quality digital audio found in “Dolby Digital” theater surround sound systems. Good channel separation is realized because all of the channel data is recorded discretely, and little deterioration occurs because all channel data processing is digital. DTS (page 90) Digital audio compression technology by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. This technology conforms to multi-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides the same discrete channels of high quality digital audio. Good channel separation is realized because all of the channel data is recorded discretely, and little deterioration occurs because all channel data processing is digital. DVD+R (page 8) A DVD+R (read “plus R”) is a recordable disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO. Contents can be recorded only once to a DVD+R, and will have the same format as a DVD VIDEO. 110 DVD+RW (page 8) A DVD+RW (read “plus RW”) is a recordable and rewritable disc. DVD+RWs use a recording format that is comparable to the DVD VIDEO format. DVD-R (page 8) A DVD-R is a recordable disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO. Contents can be recorded only once to a DVD-R, and will have the same format as a DVD VIDEO. DVD-RW (page 8) A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO. The DVDRW has two different modes: VR mode and Video mode. DVDs created in Video mode have the same format as a DVD VIDEO, while discs created in VR (Video Recording) mode allow the contents to be programmed or edited. DVD VIDEO (page 10) A disc that contains up to eight hours of moving pictures on a disc the same diameter as a CD. The data capacity of a single-layer and singlesided DVD is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), which is 7 times that of a CD. The data capacity of a doublelayer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a singlelayer and double-sided DVD is 9.4 GB, and double-layer and double-sided DVD is 17 GB. The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, which is a worldwide standard of digital compression technology. The picture data is compressed to about 1/40 (average) of its original size. The DVD also uses a variable rate coding technology that changes the data to be allocated according to the status of the picture. Audio information is recorded in a multi-channel format, such as Dolby Digital, allowing you to enjoy a more real audio presence. Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions are provided on the DVD. Hard disk drive (page 2) A hard disk drive is a whole mechanical system that consists of disks and drive. Disks are flat, circular, rigid plates coated with a thin magnetic media. Magnetic heads record data on the rapidly spinning disks, and this enables the speedy and efficient reading and writing of data. Interlace format (page 16) Interlace format shows every other line of an image as a single “field” and is the standard method for displaying images on television. The even number field shows the even numbered lines of an image, and the odd numbered field shows the odd numbered lines of an image. MPEG Audio (page 90) International standard coding system used to compress audio digital signals authorized by ISO/ IEC. MPEG 2, used on DVDs, conforms to up to 7.1-channel surround. Original (page 65) Titles actually recorded on a HDD/DVD-RW (VR mode). Erasing original titles frees up disc space. Playlist (page 65) Progressive format (page 16) Compared to the Interlace format that alternately shows every other line of an image (field) to create one frame, the Progressive format shows the entire image at once as a single frame. This means that while the Interlace format can show 25-30 frames/ 50-60 fields in one second, the Progressive format can show 50/60 frames in one second. The overall picture quality increases and still images, text, and horizontal lines appear sharper. Additional Information Playback information created from the actual recordings on a HDD/DVD-RW (VR mode). A Playlist leaves the original titles as they are, and contains only the information needed to control playback. A Playlist title takes up very little disc space. Title (page 60) The longest section of a picture or music feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video software, or the entire album in audio software. Track (page 60) Sections of a music feature on a CD/VIDEO CD (the length of a song). 111 Language Code List For details, see page 87.
