DVD-RAM

This capable of rewriting and editing. There are 2 types of DVD-RAM, single-sided and double-sided. The capacity of the double-sided disc is 9.4 GB.

≥ This unit is compatible with the Content Protection for Recordable Media

(CPRM) system so you can record broadcasts that allow one copy, such as some CATV broadcasts, onto 4.7 GB/9.4 GB DVD-RAM (these are CPRM compatible). It is not possible to record onto DVD-R or 2.8 GB DVD-RAM.

≥ This unit cannot record to discs containing both PAL and NTSC signals.

(However, both types of programme may be recorded onto the HDD.) Play of discs recorded with both PAL and NTSC on another unit is not guaranteed.

≥ DVD-RAMs recorded on this unit cannot be played on incompatible

players.

≥ We recommend using Panasonic’s DVD-RAM, which is confirmed the

compatibility with this unit.

≥ The aspect ratio of the recorded images will be the same as that of the

originals.

DVD-R

This is a recordable disc with high compatibility and storage stability. (You cannot rewrite it.) This unit is capable of recording of DVD-R from 1k speed to 4k speed.

≥ You can play DVD-R on compatible DVD players by finalizing it on this

unit.

≥ The aspect ratio of the recorded images will be 4:3. ≥ DVD-R can be record only either of bilingual audio (M1 or M2). Select the

desirable audio type in “Bilingual Audio Selection” (page 54).

≥ Some broadcasts carry signals that allow you to copy once, but you cannot

record them with DVD-R. Use DVD-RAM to record these kinds of broadcast.

≥ Before finalizing, erasing programmes will not increase the disc’s available

time.

≥ After finalizing, these DVD-R can no longer be recorded on or edited. ≥ This unit may not be able to play back DVD-Rs other than Panasonic’s

product depending on the recording condition.

≥ DVD-R recorded by this unit cannot be recorded by other Panasonic’s

DVD recorders in some cases.

Features

≥ Recording to DVD-R (maximum) with k24 speed

- If you use DVD-R which is compatible with high speed, you can record

from HDD to DVD-R with the speed up to 24 times faster than as usual (in EP mode). The programmes stored on HDD can be quickly recorded on DVD-R.

HDD (Hard disk drive)

Follow the precautions indicated below to prevent damage to the internal HDD. (Not following precautions may result in a loss of recording, stop of operation or recording of noise.)

ªDuring setup

≥Do not place in an enclosed area so that 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.

≥Place in an area where condensation does not occur.

Conditions where condensation may occur

≥During the rainy season in tropical and sub tropical areas. ≥When the room humidity is high (Steam gets into the unit). ≥When there is an extreme change in temperature (moving

from a very hot location to a very cold location, or when an extreme change in a air conditioning or cooled air directly impacts the unit).

#In the above situation, with the power off, let the unit adjust to

the room temperature and wait 2-3 hours until condensation is gone.

ªWhile operating

≥Do not remove the AC mains plug from the household AC outlet,

or flip the power breaker switch. ≥Do not move the unit or subject to vibration or impact. #When moving the unit: 1 Press [DVD, Í] to switch the unit off. (Wait until “BYE”

disappears from the display.)

2 Remove the AC mains plug from the household AC outlet. 3 Wait 2 minutes before moving.

While the unit is on, the HDD will be spinning at high speed and it is normal to hear sounds. These sounds are not problems.

ªIn the event of a power failure

If a power failure occurs, contents in the process of playback/ recording (including contents in SD VIDEO (MPEG4)) may be damaged.

ªSafeguards against accidental loss

Data may be lost if the HDD suffers damage. Any contents you wish to keep permanently should be dubbed or moved to DVD-RAM or DVD-R.

ªWhen “HDD SLEEP” appears on the unit’s display

To keep the lifetime of HDD, HDD is automatically paused. (The [HDD] lamp blinks and then turns off.)

≥HDD starts when pressing [HDD]. ≥You cannot record or play back on HDD soon after it is paused

because it takes time to be started. ≥If you do not operate this unit without a disc for 30 minutes or

more, HDD is paused.

We recommend removing discs when you do not use this unit.

HDD remaining time

This units records using a VBR (Variable bit recording) 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 time is insufficient, erase any unwanted programmes to create enough space before you start recording. (Erasing a play list will not increase the amount of time.)

ªRecording sound using LPCM

To obtain higher quality recordings using LPCM, prepare as follows:

1) Select “LPCM” in the SETUP menu, “Sound”— “Audio Mode for XP Recording” (page 54).

2) Set recording mode to “XP”.

Note

≥Sound recordings under LPCM require more information than

usual. Consequently the picture quality of LPCM recordings may be less than that of normal XP mode recordings.

Flexible recording mode (FR)

[HDD] [RAM] [DVD-R] The unit calculates a recording rate that enables the recording to fit in the time you set (within the remaining time on the disc) with the best picture quality.

e.g.: disc is DVD-RAM

You can dub pictures on DVD-R in High Speed if you set “DVD-R

Rec for High Speed mode” to “On” (page 53).

If you set “MPEG4 Rec Mode” (page 53) to “SF”, “F”, “N” or “E” in advance, you can record SD VIDEO (MPEG4) simultaneously with the recording of the programme.

When recording an SD VIDEO (MPEG4) programme without

recording limits after recording programmes with recording limits, the first 10 seconds or around of the SD VIDEO (MPEG4) programme may not be recorded.

You can dub except SD VIDEO (MPEG4).

You can dub SD VIDEO (MPEG4) only.

You cannot record or dub programmes with recording limits as SD VIDEO (MPEG4).
