Usage Precautions

Tab

Normal picture Small amount of dirt Large amount of dirt

Please read these precautions before you operate this unit.

ªAvoid Sudden Changes in Temperature

If this unit is suddenly moved from a cold to a warm place, dew may form on the tape and inside this unit.

ªHumidity and Dust

Avoid places where there is high humidity or very dusty, which may cause damage to internal parts.

Do not obstruct the ventilation holes

The ventilation holes prevent abnormal increases in temperature. Do not block or cover these holes. Avoid covering holes with soft materials such as cloth or paper.

Avoid high temperature

Keep this unit away from extreme heat sources such as direct sunlight, heating radiators, or closed automobiles.

Avoid magnets or magnetized objects

Never bring a magnet or magnetized object near this unit as it will adversely affect the performance of this unit. Keep the unit away from magnets, to avoid any adverse effect on performance for both the unit and the equipment.

Do not place fingers or other objects inside

Do not attempt to disassemble this unit. Touching internal parts of this unit is dangerous, and may cause serious damage. There are no user serviceable parts inside.

Avoid water

Keep this unit away from flower vases, tubs, sinks, etc. If liquids are spilled into this unit, serious damage could occur. If you spill any liquid into this unit, consult qualified service personnel.

Lightning

To avoid damage by lightning, disconnect the aerial plug from this unit.

Cleaning this unit

Wipe this unit with a clean, dry cloth. Never use cleaning fluid or other chemicals. Do not use compressed air to remove any dust.

Stacking

Place this unit in a horizontal position, and do not place anything heavy on it.

If dew forms in this unit

Dew may form in the unit if:

≥This unit is in a room where the heater has just been turned on. ≥This unit is in a room with steam or high humidity. ≥This unit is brought from cold surroundings into a well-heated

room.

≥This unit is suddenly brought from cool surroundings, such as an

air-conditioned room or car, to a place which is hot and humid.

Note: Do not operate the unit for at least 1 hour if any of the above conditions occur. This unit does not incorporate a dew sensor.

Before Use

Video deck and cassette tape information

Surge Absorber

For added protection for this product, these models are equipped with new surge absorbing circuits which prevents damage due to power surges caused by induced lightning. ≥This function may not be effective for surges by direct lightning.

Longrun Head System

This longrun head system enables approximately 8,000 hours of recording/playback with high quality images. Newly developed head cylinder with narrower head windows and tapered cylinder design effectively protects heads from dust and prevents head clogging. Plus, “Alumina” Head Cleaner further enhanced cleaning efficiency. ≥Based on in-house tests with Panasonic video cassettes. Actual

head life may vary according to conditions of use, tape type, temperature, humidity, etc.

Tapes

≥You can use tapes with the VHS and S-VHS marks, but this unit

is unable to make full use of the characteristics of S-VHS tapes.

≥Break out the tape’s tab to prevent

accidental erasure. Cover the hole with a double layer of adhesive tape when you want to use the tape for recording again.

Dirt on the video heads

If the video heads get dirty, pictures will not be recorded or played back clearly. (See the following conditions.)

If this happens, insert and eject a cassette 5 successively to remove the dirt from the video heads.

If a clear picture is not produced, insert a commercially available cleaning cassette. Then, press [REC¥] (¥REC/OTR) (l page 7, 9) and keep it running for approximate 10 seconds to clean the video heads.

If the problem still persists after performing all of the measures listed above, contact a service personnel to request assistance.

Heads mainly become dirty because of scratched or dirty tapes, use of the unit in places where temperature and humidity are high, dust in the air and the other reasons.

Never use tapes on which juice has been spilt or those that are extremely damaged since this will not only cause the heads to become dirty, but will also make the unit malfunction.

To enjoy DVD video with a higher image quality

The following connections are for the DVD section only. Carry out the Basic Connections described on the left page to view video from the VCR section. ≥You may need to change the video-input mode on the TV to view video from the VCR and DVD sections. Read your television’s

operating instructions for details.

Connection to a TV using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminal (progressive out)

ª COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminal (progressive out)

These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive output and provide a purer picture than the S-VIDEO OUT terminal. Connection using these terminals outputs the color difference signals (P

) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high fidelity in

reproducing colors. ≥The description of the component video input terminals depends on the

television or monitor (e.g. Y/P terminals of the same color.

≥When making this connection, ensure you connect the audio cables (not

supplied) to the corresponding audio input terminals on the television.

≥After making this connection, change the black level for a better picture

(Black Level Control lpage 49).

To enjoy progressive video

1) Connect to the component video input terminals on a 480P compatible television. (Video will not be displayed correctly if connected to an incompatible television.)

2) In SET UP menus, set “Progressive Out (Component)” to “Enable” (lpage 49). Change “Video output mode” to “480P” in the on-screen menu (lpage 46

≥

All televisions manufactured by Panasonic and that have 480P input connectors are compatible. Consult the manufacturer if you have another brand of television.

Connection to a TV using the S-VIDEO OUT terminal

ª S-VIDEO OUT terminal

The S-VIDEO OUT terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the VIDEO OUT terminal by separating the chrominance (C) and luminance (Y) signals. (Actual results depend on the television.) ≥When making this connection, ensure you connect the audio cables to the

corresponding audio input terminals on the television.

≥Connect to a different terminal group (e.g., “VIDEO 2”) than that you used

for the connection through this unit’s OUT1 (VCR/DVD) terminal. Picture from this unit’s VCR will not appear when you use the same group input terminal connections because the S-video terminal input takes precedence.

The unit has an extended range, and can tune the Low-Band, Mid-Band, Super-Band, Hyper-Band, Ultra-Band, and Special cable channels (Channels A-5sA-1, AsW, AAsFFF, GGGsWWW, WWWr1sWWWr12, 100s125, 5A). Also, the unit can tune to any of the 56 UHF channels (14s69). Refer to Channel Set on page 29 .

BASIC Hook-Up

Since the unit can tune Mid and Super Bands, this connection will provide the reception of all cable channels except those which are intentionally scrambled. However, if you subscribe to a special channel which is scrambled you will probably have a descrambler box for proper reception. The unit by itself cannot properly receive a scrambled program since it does not contain a descrambler. In order for the unit to properly receive a scrambled program, your existing descrambler must be used. There are two

Since the unit has an extended range of tuning, tuning-programing of non-scrambled Mid-Band and Super-Band TV programs is possible. When a cable converter or descrambler box is connected to the unit, all timer-controlled recording functions will continue to operate with the exception of charging channels automatically. CATV Channel selection will have to be performed with the cable converter. Timercontrolled recording from CATV Channels is therefore limited to one channel at any given time.

tape position are checked. (During this checking, [CHECKING JET NAVIGATOR DATA] is displayed on the TV screen.)

≥Checking cannot be performed properly where there are no

signals, such as at unrecorded portions of the tape. In this case, press [NAVI] at a portion of the tape where a program has been recorded on this unit. This will allow signal checking to be performed more reliably. When a signal can still not be found, the message [CAN NOT FIND JET NAVIGATOR DATA] is displayed on the TV.

≥Up to 20 cassettes and 50 programs can be registered. ≥If data for 50 recorded programs is already stored in memory and

you attempt to store timer recording data for another program, the message [REMAINING PROGRAM 0 DELETE JET NAVIGATOR DATA] appears. If you attempt to make a new recording, this same message also appears after you insert the cassette and the Jet Navigator data is checked. As each timer recording or manual recording is finished, the program data is deleted, starting from the oldest data.

≥If a new program is attempted to be recorded when data for 20

cassettes are already stored in memory, [REMAINING CASSETTE 0 FOR JET NAVIGATOR DELETE JET NAVIGATOR DATA] is displayed. Programs recorded without deleting data as instructed are not registered in the list.

To Demonstrate the Jet Navigator Function

Keep [NAVI] pressed for more than 5 seconds without inserting a cassette tape.

Bitstream

Digitized and compressed audio signal It is decoded by decoders into multi-channel audio signals, such as

5.1 channels.

Decoder

A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is called decoding.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also be 5.1-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc using this method.

Dolby Pro Logic

A surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as 2 channels and then is restored to 4 channels for play.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are possible.

Dynamic range

Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of sound before distortion occurs.

Finalize

To process a DVD-R, CD-R or CD-RW disc recorded on by DVD recorder, etc. so that it can be played back by a player.

Frame and field

Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture. A frame is made up of 2 fields..

≥A frame still is made up of two alternating fields, so the picture

may appear blurred, but overall quality is high.

≥A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a

frame still so picture quality is lower.

ID3 tag

An MP3 file has an area in which the character-based information, referred to as ID3 tag, is stored. The information of the track, such as the title, artist name, etc. can be stored here. The information can be displayed on players supporting the ID3 tag when a track is played back. However, this unit cannot because it does not support the ID3 tag.

Interlace and progressive output

NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (I) scan lines, whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines. This is called 480P. To output progressive video, connect the Component video out terminal on the rear panel of this unit to the component video input terminals and press [PROGRESSIVE OUT] so that “PR ON” appears. You can enjoy video quality higher than that of the conventional VIDEO OUT or S-VIDEO OUT terminals.

I/P/B

The DVD recording system shares the data commonly used by screens and uses screen-independent data individually for each screen to store the data on the disc efficiently.

≥I-picture (Intra coded picture):

A frame recorded independently as reference for commonly used data

≥P-picture (Predictive coded picture):

This picture is calculated based on past I- or P-pictures.

≥B-picture (Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture):

This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I- and P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.

I-picture has the best quality and is the best to use when adjusting the picture.

Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)

These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs. This unit outputs linear PCM signals fed from the OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal with 2 channels.

Example:

MP3 (MPEG AUDIO Layer3 )

One of audio data compression methods adopted by MPEG. The audio data can be compressed into approx. 1/10 with only slight degradation of sound quality.

Multi-session

This means recording data onto a CD-R/CD-RW disc several times. “Read-in/Program area/Read-out” of the data on a disc makes one session. If data, such as music is added onto a pre-recorded CD-R/RW disc, a new session will be added. Such a disc is referred to as a multisession disc. Normal audio CD players can play back only the first session. On the other hand, this unit can play back 2 or more sessions.

Optical digital audio output terminal

It converts the electrical signals into optical signals and transfers them to an amplifier. The signals are free from noises caused by external electrical effects.

Pan&Scan/Letterbox

In general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention that they be viewed on a widescreen television with an aspect ratio of 16:9. This means you can view most material with the intended aspect ratio on a widescreen television. Material with this ratio will not fit onto a standard television with an aspect ratio of 4:3. Two styles of picture, “Pan&Scan” and “Letterbox”, deal with this problem.

≥Pan&Scan

The sides are cut off so the picture fills the screen.

≥Letterbox

A black belt appears on top and bottom of the screen to present 16:9 aspect ratio video on the 4:3 aspect ratio screen.

Title and chapter (DVD-Video)

The content of a DVD-Video is divided into larger segments (titles) and smaller segments (chapters). They are identified by title numbers and chapter numbers.

Track (Video CD/CD)

The content of a Video CD or CD is divided into some segments (tracks) and they are identified by track numbers.

(a) (b) (c) (d) (e)

WMA (Windows Media Audio)

One of compression formats developed by Microsoft Corporation. It achieves the same sound quality as MP3 with a file size that is smaller than that of MP3.

Playback control (PBC)

If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and information with menus. In this manual, playing back of the contents of a Video CD using the menu screen is referred to as “Menu play” for Video CD.

Sampling frequency

This is the number of samples of sound taken per second during conversion to a digital signal. A high sampling frequency results in a sound close to the original when played back.

Q&A

Connection

I have a TV equipped with both the S-video input and the component video inputs. Which one should be used?

≥To view only the video on the DVD section, it is recommended to

connect to the component video inputs. (lpage 13) The component video inputs allow the signals on a DVD to be output as they were recorded and reproduce colors with higher fidelity than using the S-video input terminal. However, this connection does not output the video on the VCR. To view the video on the VCR, connect the OUT1(VCR/DVD) terminal to the video input terminal on the TV.

I would like to enjoy Dolby Digital or 5.1-ch surround audio of DTS. What equipment is necessary?

≥To enjoy the 5.1-ch surround audio, use an AV amplifier with a

built-in decoder (with 5.1-ch audio input terminals) and 6 speakers.

Video Cassette

Can I use an S-VHS cassette to record and play?

≥Yes, you can. However, the unit only records VHS, even on an

S-VHS cassette. (lpage 20) Cassettes recorded in S-VHS mode can be played back, but the S-VHS’s original picture quality is not reproduced.

VCR playback

Can cassettes recorded overseas be played back?

Yes, if they were recorded in NTSC format in the SP, LP or EP mode.

Can cassettes recorded in the VP mode of this unit be played back on other VCRs?

≥No.

Play back cassettes recorded in the VP mode on this unit.

Recording

Is it possible to only listen to the left-channel audio or rightchannel audio for stereophonic broadcasting (only the main audio channel or sub audio channel for bilingual broadcasting) while recording?

≥Yes, it is possible.

Select the desired channel with [AUDIO]. (lpage 31)

Timer recording

Is it possible to view programs on another cassette when the timer recording is set? Or is it possible to replace the cassette?

≥It is possible when you cancel the timer recording set.

Press [TIMER ] to turn off the indication “ ” in the unit’s display, then proceed with the operation. (lpage 22)

Is it necessary to turn on the TV?

≥If only the timer recording is being set on this unit, it is not

necessary to turn on the TV.

Disc playback

Can DVDs bought overseas be played back?

≥If the DVDs have the region number, “ALL” or “1” and are

recorded in NTSC format, they can be played back. Check this on the jacket of the DVDs.

Can Video CDs bought overseas be played back?

≥If the Video CDs are recorded in NTSC format, they can be

played back.

Can discs having no region number be played back?

≥The DVD region number means that the DVD conforms to the

Standards. Any DVDs not conforming to the Standards cannot be played back.

VCR/DVD output switching

Immediately after the unit is turned on, the output is sometimes switched to DVD automatically. Why?

≥Some discs may automatically start to be played back when the

unit is turned on when such a disc is inserted. If “OUT1 [VCR/DVD]” in the VCR MENU “OPTION” is set to “AUTO”, disc starts to be played back. If you do not wish to automatically switch to the DVD in such cases, select “MANUAL” for “OUT1 [VCR/DVD]” in the If it is set to “AUTO”, the DVD is not switched to when a unit with no disc is turned on.

the DVD video output is automatically selected when the

VCR MENU

“OPTION”. (lpage 30)
