≥Discs can be recorded from the external equipment. Discs that can be recorded will differ depending on the recording method.

For details, please refer to “Recording method and disc” on page 29.

Regarding Blu-ray Disc

1.High volume recording

The Blu-ray Disc (BD-RE and BD-R) has a lot more recording capacity compared with the DVD.

When you compare the Blu-ray Disc (single-side dual-layer 50 GB) with the DVD-R (4.7 GB)

2.High quality recording

Blu-ray Disc can record the image of the digital broadcasting in the same quality as broadcasted. Therefore, high definition quality can be recorded as high definition quality as it is.

RQT9434

HDD (Hard disk drive) handling care

Do not place the unit on amplifiers or equipment that may become hot.

The heat can damage the unit.

DO NOT

The HDD is a high precision recording instrument and because of its long recording capability and high speed operation it is a very special device that is easily susceptible to damage. As a basic rule, save important content to a disc as backup.

∫ The HDD is a device that is not built to withstand vibration/shock or dust

Depending on the setup environment and handling of the HDD some content may become damaged and play and recording may no longer be possible. Especially during operation, do not subject the unit to any vibration, shock, or remove the AC mains lead from the household mains socket. In the event of a power failure during recording or play, the content may be damaged.

∫ The HDD is a temporary storage device

The HDD is not an everlasting storage device for recorded content. Use the HDD as a temporary storage place for one-off viewing, editing, or copying. It is recommended to save the recorded content on a disc or to keep the original data or CDs that they were copied from.

∫ Immediately save (backup) all content as soon as you feel there may be a problem with the HDD

If there is an irregularity within the HDD, repetitive strange sounds or problems with picture (block noise, etc.) may result. Using the HDD in this condition may worsen the problem and in the worst case the HDD may no longer be usable. As soon as you notice this type of problem, copy all content to disc and request service. Recorded content (data) on a HDD that has become unusable is unrecoverable.

≥When the unit is turned on or off, there may be an unexpected sound. This does not indicate a problem with this unit.

∫ Setup precautions

≥Do not place in an enclosed area where the rear cooling fan

and the cooling vents on the side are covered up.

≥Place the unit on a surface that is flat and not subject to

vibration or impact.

≥Do not place on anything that

generates heat like a video cassette recorder, etc.

≥Do not place in an area often subject to

temperature changes.

≥Place in an area where condensation

does not occur. Condensation is a phenomenon where moisture forms on a cold surface when there is an extreme change in temperature. Condensation may cause internal damage to the unit.

≥Conditions where condensation may occur

–When there is an extreme change in temperature (moving from

a very hot location to a very cold location, or vice versa, or when subjected to an air conditioner or when cooled air directly impacts the unit). When the HDD (warms during operation) is subjected to cold air, condensation may form on the inside of the

HDD and may cause damage to the HDD heads, etc. –When there is high humidity or a lot of steam in the room. –During the rainy season.

In the above situation, without turning the unit on, let the unit adjust to the room temperature and wait 2–3 hours until condensation is gone.

DO NOT

This unit

VCR

∫ Cigarette smoke etc. causes malfunction or

breakdown

The unit may breakdown if cigarette smoke or bug spray/vapor, etc. gets inside the unit.

∫ While operating

≥Do not move the unit or subject to vibration or impact. (The HDD

may become damaged.)

≥Do not remove the AC mains lead from the household mains

socket, or flip the power breaker switch. While the unit is on, the HDD is rotating at high speed. Sound or movement due to rotation is normal.

∫ When moving the unit

1 Turn the unit off. (Wait until “BYE” disappears from the display.) 2 Remove the AC mains lead from the household mains socket. 3 Move only after the unit has come to a complete stop (approx.

2 minutes) in order to avoid subjecting to vibration and shock. (Even after turning the unit off, the HDD continues operating for a short time.)

∫ Indemnity concerning recorded content

Panasonic does not accept any responsibility for damages directly or indirectly due to any type of problems that result in loss of recording or edited content (data), and does not guarantee any content if recording or editing does not work properly. Likewise, the above also applies in a case where any type of repair is made to the unit (including any other non-HDD related component).

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 Lens cleaner (not included) about once every year, depending on frequency of use and the operating environment. Carefully read the lens cleaner’s instructions before use.

Lens cleaner: RP-CL720E ≥This lens cleaner may not be for sale depending on the region.

RQT9434

[Note]

Do not obstruct the rear panel’s internal cooling fan.

Before moving the unit, ensure the disc tray is empty.

Failure to do so will risk severely damaging the disc and the unit.

Media handling (Disc/USB memory/SD card)

Insert label-up.

ADAPTER

If you are using a miniSD card, a miniSDHC card, a microSD card or a microSDHC card, insert it into the adaptor that comes with the card. Insert and remove this adaptor from the unit.

You can set FR (Flexible Recording) mode when copying or recording from external equipment. The unit automatically selects a recording rate between XP and EP (8 hours) that will enable the recordings to fit in the remaining disc space with the best possible recording quality. For example with a 90 minute recording to an unused DVD-RAM, the picture quality is adjusted to between “XP” and “SP”. When recording to the HDD, picture quality is automatically adjusted to precisely fit a copied title on a 4.7 GB disc.

§3

When recording to the HDD in “EP” or “FR (recordings 5 hours or longer)” mode, you cannot perform high-speed copy to +R, +R DL or +RW discs.

§4

When “Recording time in EP mode” is set to “6 hours” in the Setup menu (> 90). The sound quality is better when using “6 hours” than when using “8 hours”.

≥[RAM] When recording to DVD-RAM using “8 hours” mode, play may not be possible on DVD players that are compatible with DVD-RAM.

Use “6 hours” mode if playback may be on other equipment.

§4

)

∫ Regarding recording time remaining

DR mode recording

Remaining time in the DR mode is calculated with a bit rate of approx. 14 Mbps. But the bit rate differs depending on the broadcast, so the displayed remaining time might be different from the actual remaining time.

Other recording modes (title conversion or from external input)

This unit records using a VBR (Variable bit rate) data compression system to vary recorded data segments to match video data segments which may cause differences in the displayed amount of time and space remaining for recording.

If the remaining amount of time is insufficient, delete any unwanted titles to create enough space before you start recording.
