•We recommend using Panasonic discs. We also recommend using DVD-RAM discs with cartridges to protect them from scratches and dirt.
•You may not be able to record depending on the condition of the discs and you may not be able to play due to the condition of the recording.
•For the recording time, refer to “Recording modes and approximate recording times” on page 15.
•You cannot record programmes that allow “One time only recording” to CPRM compatible DVD-R and DVD-RW on this unit. You can record other programmes as DVD-Video format.
1 You cannot continue a recording from the first layer to the second layer on dualor double-layer discs. To record onto the second layer, you must first close the first layer using the “Close First Layer” item in DVD Management (Ô page 37). You will no longer be able to record to the first layer after you do this (Ô page 14).
When playing a title recorded on both layers, video and audio may momentarily cut out when the unit is switching layers.
2 You may not be able to use +R recorded on this unit in another Panasonic DVD recorder and vice versa. Once the disc is finalized, however, it can be played in the other unit.
3 The amount of the recordable disc space doesn’t increase even if the programme is deleted when you use a one time recording disc.
4 CPRM (Ô page 50) compatible discs only.
5 This unit can use the high-speed recording discs shown in the chart, but using them will not shorten the recording time.
6 You can play 8x recording speed discs recorded on another equipment.
7 Play on DVD-R DL compatible equipment. 
8 Play on +R DL compatible equipment.
Regarding recording format
VR (DVD Video Recording) format
This is a recording method which allows you to freely record and edit television broadcasts and so on.
•Digital broadcasts that allow “One time only recording” can be recorded to a CPRM compatible disc. You can record to CPRM compatible DVD-RAM on this unit.
•Play is only possible on a compatible DVD player.
DVD-Video format
This recording method is the same as commercially available DVD-Video.
•Digital broadcasts that allow “One time only recording” cannot be recorded.
•You can play on compatible equipment such as DVD players after finalizing the disc on this unit.
+VR (+R/+RW Video Recording) format
This is method for recording moving pictures to +R/+RW discs. You can play back such discs recorded in this method in a similar way as contents recorded in the DVD-Video format.
• Digital broadcasts that allow “One time only recording” cannot be recorded.
RQT8317 • After finalizing the disc or creating the top menu, you can play the disc on DVD players and other equipment.

1 Close the session after recording. Play may be impossible on some discs due to the condition of the recording.
Regarding DVD-Audio
Some multi-channel DVD-Audio will prevent down-mixing (Ô page 50) of all or part of their contents if this is the manufacturer’s intention. Tracks that are prevented from being down-mixed will not be played properly on this unit (e.g. audio is played from the front two channels only). Refer to the disc’s jacket for more information.

•Write on the label side of the disc only with a soft, oil-based felt pen. Do not use ballpoint pens or other hard writing implements. (This may cause disc warping and un-balanced rotation, rendering it unusable.)
•Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzine, thinner, static electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent.
•Do not use scratch-proof protectors or covers.
•Do not drop stack, or impact discs. Do not place objects on them.
•Do not use the following discs:
–Discs with exposed adhesive from removed stickers or labels (rental discs, etc.).
–Discs that are badly warped or cracked.
–Irregularly shaped discs, such as heart shapes.
•Do not place in the following areas:
–In direct sunlight.
–In very dusty or humid areas.
–Near a heater.
–Locations susceptible to significant difference in temperature (condensation can occur).
–Where static electricity or electromagnetic waves occur.
•To protect discs from scratches and dirt, return them to their cases or cartridges when you are not using them.
The manufacturer accepts no responsibility and offers no compensation for loss of recorded or edited material due to a problem with the unit or recordable media, and accepts no responsibility and offers no compensation for any subsequent damage caused by such loss.
Examples of causes of such losses are
•A disc recorded and edited with this unit is played in a DVD Recorder or computer disc drive manufactured by another company.
•A disc used as described above and then played again in this unit.
•A disc recorded and edited with a DVD Recorder or computer disc drive manufactured by another company is played in this unit.
Unit care
The precision parts in this unit are readily affected by the environment, especially temperature, humidity, and dust. Cigarette smoke also can cause malfunction or breakdown.
To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
•Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit.
•Before using chemically treated cloth, carefully read the
instructions that came with the cloth.
Observe the following points to ensure continued listening and viewing pleasure.
Dust and dirt may adhere to the unit’s lens over time, making it impossible to record or play discs.
Use the DVD lens cleaner (RP-CL720E) about once every year, depending on frequency of use and the operating environment. Carefully read the lens cleaner’s instructions before use.
RQT8317

Recording time
1 It is not possible to record or play continuously from one side of a double sided disc to the other.
2 When “Recording time in EP mode” is set to “EP ( 6Hours )” in the Setup menu (Ô page 39).
The sound quality is better when using “EP ( 6Hours )” than when using “EP ( 8Hours )”.
3 It is not possible to record continuously from the first layer to the second layer.
Note
•This unit uses variable bit rate (VBR) recording which varies the amount of data recorded to suit the images, so actual recording times and remaining recording times shown by the unit will be different. (The difference will be especially noticeable with DVD-R DL and +R DL.)
Use a disc with plenty of remaining time to be sure.
•RAM When recording to DVD-RAM using EP ( 8Hours ) mode, play may not be possible on DVD players that are compatible with DVD-RAM. In this case use EP ( 6Hours ) mode.
FR (Flexible Recording)
The unit automatically selects a recording rate between XP and EP ( 8Hours ) that will enable the recordings to fit in the remaining disc space with the best possible recording quality.
•You can use FR mode in timer recording (Ô page 18, 19, step 3) and Flexible Recording (Ô page 17).
Using FR mode is convenient in these kind of situations
•When the amount of free space on the disc makes selecting an appropriate recording mode difficult
•When you want to record a long programme with the best picture quality possible
e.g., Recording a 90 minutes programme to disc
