It has two recording formats: "VR (Video Recording) mode" which has a wealth of editing functions, and "Video mode" which can be played back with existing DVD players. This lets you enjoy recording and dubbing to suit your purpose. "Time Shift Viewing", "Chasing Playback" and "Simultaneous Recording/Playback" --functions you can only get with a hard disc 2 High picture quality design (Used in all hard disc and DVD modes) VBR (Variable Bit Rate) recording · Constantly maintains optimal high picture quality by varying the bit rate (amount of video data) for each scene depending on the video content (e.g. whether movement is fast or slow). 3 A variety of hard disc t DVD dubbing functions 1High speed dubbing*1 Enables high speed dubbing from hard disc to DVD so you can enjoy creating your own video library. *1 1Time shift viewing While you are watching a programme, the phone rings.... At times like this, you can pause the programme being broadcast at the press of a button, and then watch the rest of the programme at your leisure after you finish your phone call. You can also switch to the current broadcast scene just by pressing ISTOP/LIVE button. 2Chasing playback You return home earlier than expected while timer recording is in progress.... At times like this, you don't have to wait for recording to end. You can immediately view the programme from the beginning. 3Simultaneous recording/playback Even while recording to the hard disc, you can enjoy playback of a DVD, or programmes already recorded on hard disc. You don't have to wait for recording to finish. (Only titles recorded on the hard disc or in VR mode on DVD-RW can be edited.) 1Play list edit This lets you gather only the needed parts (i.e. a "Play List") from a recorded original video (title). You can rearrange scenes and combine them with other scenes, or rearrange titles. This is convenient when you want to dub and save only the necessary scenes and titles. 2Chapter edit This lets you divide a title into chapter units during recording/playback or using the edit screen. After dividing, a list of recordings (thumbnails) can be displayed in chapter units, so you can copy, erase or dub to the play list in chapter units. 3Erase Scene This lets you erase unnecessary scenes. This is convenient when you want to cut out the commercials in a recorded programme before dubbing. 4Batch erasing of titles/chapters Titles and chapters which become unnecessary after editing can be batch erased by selecting them from the list of recordings (thumbnails). 5Edit undo function*2 If you mistakenly erase data during editing, this function lets you restore it to its immediately preceding state, just like "Undo" on a PC, so you can edit worry-free. 2 * Edit undo can only be used once. It only works when "UNDO" is assigned to a coloured button (green) displayed on the screen. For high speed dubbing, use discs conforming to DVD-RW Ver. 1.1/2g or DVD-R Ver. 2.0/4g. 5 Comprehensive editing functions 2Rate conversion dubbing The mode can be selected from 32 levels just like recording mode. This enables recording at the optimal picture quality, given the remaining empty space on the disc. 3Exact dubbing This automatically adjusts to the optimal record mode so that the material is dubbed exactly into the remaining area on the disc. The time normally required for a programme of an hour on High Speed Dubbing to a double speed compatible disc Recording Mode FINE SP LP EP Speed Approx. 2g Approx. 4g Approx. 8g Approx. 12g Time Required Approx. 30 min Approx. 15 min Approx. 7.5 min Approx. 5 min GB 4 Features 6 Simple operation and user-friendly design using a new remote control 9 SHOWVIEW*3 system 1START MENU Press START MENU button on the remote control, and display the list of main functions on the screen.

Doing so may cause problems like paint peeling. · Do not affix stickers or tape to the Recorder. Doing so may cause cabinet discolouration or damage. · If the cabinet or front panel display gets dirty, gently wipe it off with soft cloth like flannel. If it is extremely dirty, soak a cloth in neutral detergent diluted with water, wring the cloth well, wipe, and then wipe again with a dry cloth. Using powerful cleaners may cause discolouration, deterioration or paint peeling. We recommend testing any cleaners at an inconspicuous location on the Recorder. · When you are finished using the Recorder, conserve power by turning power off. If you go on a trip, or otherwise will not use the Recorder for a long time, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet to ensure safety. Requests regarding setup · Do not cover the fan or ventilation holes on the back of the Recorder. Doing so will interfere with heat radiation and cause malfunction. Notes about use · The Recorder and cabinet may become a little hot, depending on the use environment when using this Recorder. This is not a malfunction. · When unplugging the power cord (to move the Recorder, etc.), first turn off power (STANDBY indicator on the front of the Recorder lights up red) to protect the hard disc (HDD). · When power is turned on, the fan will rotate to cool the Recorder. · Immediately after plugging the power cord into an AC outlet, or after recovery from a power failure, the unit may fail to operate for more than ten seconds because the Recorder is performing system adjustment. Electromagnetic interference · If you use a mobile phone or other electronic equipment near the Recorder, video may be disturbed or become noisy during playback or recording due to electromagnetic interference. Antenna · To avoid the effects of radio interference, set up the antenna at a location away from busy roads, electric wires for train, electric transmission lines and neon signs. This is effective for preventing electric shock accidents in the unlikely event that antenna falls down. · Do not make the antenna line unnecessarily long, or bundle it. Be careful because doing so will cause the picture to be unstable. · The antenna is exposed to the weather, so be careful to periodically check and replace it. This will ensure a beautiful picture. Antennas are particularly susceptible to damage at locations with heavy smoke and soot, and locations exposed to sea breeze. Notes about this operation manual · In this operation manual, the terms "the Recorder", "this Recorder" or "your Recorder" refer to the "DV-HR350F/ DV-HR300F DVD Recorder with Hard Disc". · The screen displays and Recorder illustrations given in this operation manual are for explanatory purposes, and may differ somewhat from the actual screen and Recorder.

We recommend keeping variation in room temperature within 10°C per hour. · Do not place at a location with high humidity. · Place the Recorder horizontally, never at an incline. · When the power is on, do not unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, turn off the breaker for the area where the Recorder is set up, or move the Recorder. s When moving the Recorder, first turn off the power and then unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. In the unlikely event that there is some problem like loss of recorded video or audio content due to a HDD malfunction, please be aware beforehand that Sharp will bear no responsibility to compensate for the content which could not be recorded or edited, for the loss of recorded or edited video, or for other related direct or indirect damages. I If a power failure occurs · The content being recorded or timer recorded will be damaged if power failure occurs. · The content being played back may be damaged. I For important recording · If the HDD malfunctions, the content recorded on the HDD may be lost. If you wish to save content permanently, we recommend copying or moving the content to DVD-RW or DVD-R. NOTE · If a message indicating a HDD error is displayed (such as "CANNOT OPERATE DUE TO HDD ERROR.") and the HDD has malfunctioned, you cannot replace the HDD by yourself. If you disassemble the Recorder, the warranty will become void. Also, recovery of data is impossible. If playback is possible, re-record the recorded content onto a DVD-RW/R disc, and contact your nearest service centre approved by Sharp. Recording Format I HDD recording is done using the variable bit rate format for more efficient recording. The following phenomena may occur. With the variable bit rate format, the remaining amount which can be recorded may increase or decrease relative to the display of the remaining amount of HDD space. · When the display indicates that the remaining amount of HDD space is low, first delete unnecessary programmes, and then record with an extra margin in the amount of remaining space. · Even if you delete a programme, the remaining amount may not increase by the amount of deleted time. When recording new video, record with an extra margin in the amount of remaining space. · With this Recorder, part of the HDD capacity is used as a system management area. Hard Disc Operation (Recording / Playback / Time Shift Recording) · If the Recorder is used in a cold location (a location at low temperature), the drive will only allow live viewing after power is turned on until the HDD is ready. During this time, the Recorder will not allow Time Shift Viewing, recording, display of recording lists or playback of recorded programmes. Please wait until the HDD is ready. Initialization · Initialization erases all video recorded on the HDD. Be sure to dub important recordings onto DVD-RW/R discs before initializing. Unrecordable Material · This Recorder is equipped with a copy guard function that prevents recording of video software or broadcast programmes that contain a signal that restricts copying in accordance with copyrights and so forth. · In the case a copy guard signal is contained in a source video that occurs partway through recording, recording is paused at that point. Recording resumes when the copy guard signal is no longer present, while no recordings will be made for the part where the copy prevention signal is present. CPRM (control) Information · There are 3 types of copy control signals: "Copy Freely", "Copy Once" and "Copy Never". "Copy Never" programmes cannot be recorded on HDD.
