∫ Before Use

This unit incorporates an HDD and a DVD drive.
Select the drive (HDD/DVD) you intend to use—you may carry out 
recording and playback on the drive selected.
The HDD/DVD mode lamp on the front panel of the unit will light 
when you select a drive. The lit lamp indicates the current drive.

from another (editing is not possible).

≥When switching drives, the functions (playback, record or pause 

etc.) operate with respect to the current drive. For example, if you 
are recording using DVD and playing back using the HDD, 
pressing [

recording, select the DVD drive before pressing [

simultaneously.
If one drive is selected, the another will stop playback (if in

simultaneously.

It is not possible to switch between HDD/DVD drives while a disc 
is being read.
