Precautions On safety Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the system and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further. When disconnecting the mains leads, do not touch the metallic part of the jacks or plugs. About the hard disk drive 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. 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 system is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the system itself has been turned off. • If you are not going to use the system for a long time, be sure to disconnect the system 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. • Do not put any object into the holes on the set (fan ventilation holes, jacks, etc.). Electric shock may result. • • • • • • • • • • On placement • Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system. • At high volume, over long periods of time, the cabinet becomes hot to the touch.

Insert two Size R6 (AA) batteries by matching the 3 and # ends on the batteries to the markings inside the compartment. When using the remote, point the remote at (remote sensor) on the recorder. Notes • To operate a non Sony TV, set the code number of the TV’s manufacturer (page 88). • Use the batteries correctly to avoid possible leakage and corrosion. Do not touch the liquid with bare hands should leakage occur. Observe the following: – Do not use a new battery with an old battery, or batteries of different manufacturers. – Do not attempt to recharge the batteries. – If you do not intend to use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batteries. – If battery leakage occurs, wipe out any liquid inside the battery compartment, and insert new batteries. • Do not expose the remote sensors (marked on the recorder) to strong light, such as direct sunlight or lighting apparatus. The system may not respond to the remote. 13 Step 2: Connecting the Speaker System For DAR-RH7000 Connect the speaker system using the supplied speaker cords, matching the colours of the terminals with the cords.

SURROUND L R CENTER L • Do not place the speakers in locations that are: – Extremely hot or cold. – Dusty or dirty. ,continued 15 • • • • – Very humid. – Subject to vibration. – Subject to direct sunlight. Do not connect any speakers other than those supplied with this system. Use caution when placing the speakers and/or speaker stands (not supplied) attached to the speakers on a specially treated floor (waxed, oiled, polished, etc.), as staining or discoloration may result. Cover the floor with a cloth when connecting. Be sure to match the speaker cord polarity with the component terminals: 3 to 3 (grey), # to # (black). If reversed, the sound will lack bass and may be distorted. Positioning the speakers For the best possible surround sound, all speakers other than the subwoofer should be the same distance from the listening position (A). However, this system allows you to place the centre speaker up to 1.6 m closer (B) and the surround speakers up to 4.6 m closer (C) to the listening position. The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to 7.0 m (A) from the listening position. Notes on speaker cord treatment • Do not insert the speaker cord insulation in the speaker terminals. Bend the stripped cord at the insulation before connecting. • To avoid short-circuiting the speakers, make sure speaker cord conductors do not touch the neighbouring conductors or terminal. Example: • Do not place the centre speaker and surround speakers farther away from the listening position than the front speakers. • If you change the speaker positions after Easy Setup (page 34), change the “Distance” and “Size” settings in “Speaker” setup accordingly (page 100). Conductors are splayed, and touching neighbouring terminal. Note on subwoofer placement After connecting the system components and the mains leads, you can check for a speaker shortcircuit using the test tone (page 102). If the test tone is not output, or is output from a speaker other than indicated in the front panel display, check the speaker connection. Note If you connect the speakers incorrectly, or turn up the volume while the speakers are short-circuited, the POWER indicator on the subwoofer flashes and the system enters standby mode. If this happens, disconnect the mains lead, wait about two minutes, and then reconnect to turn on the system. 16 Notes Too much insulation is removed. Conductors are touching each other. If the subwoofer is placed too close to a CRT TV or projector, magnetic leakage may interfere with the video signals and cause colour irregularity. Should this happen, turn off the TV or the projector, wait for 15 to 30 minutes, and then turn it on again. If the problem persists, try the following: – Position the subwoofer at least 0.3 m away from the TV or the projector. – Move any nearby magnetic object away from the subwoofer (healthcare devices, toys, etc.). Magnetic latches on TV stands may also cause a problem.

Dubbing (HDD y DVD) Before Dubbing HDD +RW -RWVR -RWVideo +R -R In this section, “dubbing” refers to “copying a recorded title on the internal hard disk drive (HDD) to another disc, or vice versa.” You can select to dub one title at a time (Title Dubbing – see “Dubbing a single title (Title Dub)” on page 81), or multiple titles all at once (Multiple Title Dubbing – see “Dubbing multiple titles (Dub Selected Titles)” on page 82). To record from equipment connected to the LINE IN jacks, see “Recording from connected equipment without a timer” on page 59. 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 programmes, set “DVD Bilingual Rec.” to either “Main” (default) or “Sub” in “Options” setup (page 103). • Timer recording 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. • For titles with mixed picture sizes (16:9 or 4:3): – 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 54). – When dubbed from HDD to DVD+RW or DVD+R, the picture size is always 4:3. Notes • To play a dubbed disc on other DVD equipment, finalize the disc (page 46). • 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 41) will not be retained in the dubbed title. About “Dub Mode” With this recorder, the recording mode for dubbing is displayed as “Dub Mode.” Two dubbing methods 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 (HDD y DVD) Before you start, read the following precautions, which are common to both dubbing methods. 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 sizes and the sound types originally recorded are retained. 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 81). 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). ,continued 79 Required times for High-speed Dubbing from HDD to DVD (for a 60-minute programme)*1 Speed*2 6x 6x*3 8x*4 8x*4 2.4x Rec. mode Highspeed DVDRW Highspeed DVD+ RW Highspeed DVDR Highspeed DVD+ R DVD+ R (Double Layer) HQ 10 min. 10 min. 8 min. 8 min. 25 min.

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 81 or “Dubbing multiple titles (Dub Selected Titles)” on page 82. 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. Note The picture quality will not improve even if a title is converted to a recording mode of better picture quality. Dubbing restriction The values in the above table are for reference only. Actual times for dubbing also require time for creating the disc’s control information and other data. This is the maximum recording speed of this recorder. 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. You cannot dub movies and other DVD VIDEOs to the HDD. Also, when dubbing from a DVD to the HDD, a grey, blank screen will be recorded for scenes that contain a copy protection signal. Notes * CPRM-compatible DVD-RWs (VR mode) only CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media) is a coding technology that protects copyrights for images. • 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 with mixed picture sizes (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. 80 +R -R Copy protection signals Copy-Free (No copy protection signal) Copy-Once Dubbing HDD HDD +RW -RWVR , *1 Rec Mode Conversion Dubbing HDD n +RW / -RWVR / -RWVideo / -RWVideo +R , -RWVR , -R * Move HDD , -RWVR Titles containing “Copy-Once” copy protection signals can be moved only from HDD to DVDRW (VR mode)* (after the title is moved, the original title in the HDD is erased).

Digital Cinema Sound (DCS) (page 85) This is the generic name of the surround sound produced by digital signal processing technology developed by Sony. Unlike previous surround sound fields mainly directed at the reproduction of music, Digital Cinema Sound is designed specifically for the enjoyment of movies. Dolby Digital (page 3) Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels from two channel sources. This is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations. ◆Movie mode The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all programmes encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced sound field directionality that approaches the quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound. ◆Music mode The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound space. Dolby Surround Pro Logic (page 84) As one method of decoding Dolby Surround, Dolby Surround Pro Logic produces four channels from two-channel sound. Compared with the former Dolby Surround system, Dolby Surround Pro Logic reproduces left-to-right panning more naturally and localizes sounds more precisely. To take full advantage of Dolby Surround Pro Logic, you should have one pair of surround speakers and a centre speaker. The surround speakers output monaural sound. DTS (page 63) 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. Additional Information 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” theatre 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.

DVD+RWs use a recording format that is comparable to the DVD VIDEO format. A JPEG image recorded on a DATA CD. (File is an exclusive definition for this recorder.) A single file consist of a single image. Interlace format (page 26) 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. 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. 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. MPEG Audio (page 62) 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 71) Titles actually recorded on a HDD/DVD-RW (VR mode). Erasing original titles frees up disc space. Playlist (page 71) 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. Progressive format (page 26) 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.
