Additional information 09 English Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component in your stereo system that becomes hot in use. Use near a television or monitor as you may experience interference-especially if the television uses an indoor antenna. Use in a kitchen or other room where the recorder may be exposed to smoke or steam. Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloth-this may prevent proper cooling of the unit. Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large enough to support all four of the unit's feet. 3 Program the IR controller supplied with your STB to send start/stop recording codes for a Pioneer VCR. See the manual that came with the STB for how to do this. Only the REC and STOP codes have any effect when used with this recorder: • REC - Start recording • STOP - Stop recording 4 Position the IR controller so that it will control this recorder.

Glossary Analog audio An electrical signal that directly represents sound. Compare this to digital audio which can be an electrical signal, but is an indirect representation of sound. See also digital audio. Aspect ratio The width of a TV screen relative to its height. Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the screen is almost square); widescreen models are 16:9 (the screen is almost twice as wide as it is high). Chapter Just as a book is split up into several chapters, a title on a DVD disc is usually divided into chapters. See also Title. Digital audio An indirect representation of sound by numbers. during recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals (44,100 times a second for CD audio) by an analog-todigital converter, generating a stream of numbers. On playback, a digital-to-analog converter generates an analog signal based on these numbers. See also Sampling frequency and Analog audio. 63 En
