Features

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.

≥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.

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

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:

1Press [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.)

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

recorded SD VIDEO (MPEG4) programmes can be dubbed when dubbing them on SD Memory Card in “High Speed” mode (page 28).

≥You cannot directly record on SD Memory Card.

≥The audio for the SD VIDEO (MPEG4) is monaural. You can select the audio for bilingual broadcasting on “Bilingual Audio Selection” (page 54).

≥The aspect ratio of the recorded picture is 4:3.

≥Set the item in “SD CARD capacity” (page 53) according to the capacity of your card. The recording of the programme is divided according to the setting. The programme is divided even the recording is stopped or paused. (“When dubbing programmes to DVD-RAM or DVD-R (t1–t4) in High Speed mode”, page 27)

ªSD VIDEO (MPEG4) Title

≥When recording SD VIDEO (MPEG4) programme, it is automatically divided by “SD CARD capacity” (page 53) to be recorded within the capacity of SD Memory Card.

≥In case of a TV station with Teletext information, the title of the TV programme is entered automatically, provided the “Title page” is correctly set. (page 58)

≥If a programme is divided before entering its title by Teletext information, the title is not entered to the divided programmes. Until the title of the programme is entered by Teletext information, serial numbers (e.g. “MOL***”) are automatically

given as the title of divided programmes.

≥When the title of the programme is entered, it becomes effective to all subsequent programmes.

≥In case of a TV station with Teletext information, it may take over 30 minutes to get the title or may fail to get.

Recording modes and approximate recording times in hours

The time shown below is an approximation at the moment of purchase. The available recording time depends on the content of recording.

		DVD-RAM
	HDD	Single-	Double-	DVD-R
	(80 GB)	sided	sided	(4.7 GB)

XP (High quality)	17°	1	2	1

SP (Normal)	34°	2	4	2

LP (Long play)	68°	4	8	4

EP (Extra long play)	106°	6	12	6

°If you set “MPEG4 Rec Mode” (page 53) to “SF”, “F”, “N” or “E”, the available recording time is reduced.

FR (Flexible recording):

≥You can use this function in dubbing or timer recording. ≥When dubbing content stored on the HDD, the picture quality is

automatically adjusted to fit on 4.7 GB DVD-RAM/R discs. ≥The picture quality is automatically adjusted among “XP”, “SP”,

“LP” and “EP” according to the remained capacity of the disc.

≥All of recording mode indicators on the unit’s display are lit during FR.

For your reference

≥You cannot change the channel or recording mode during recording. You can change them while recording is paused, but the material is recorded as a separate programme.

≥Even if you try to switch from HDD to DVD or vice versa while recording, the channel will not be changed.

Also, it is not possible to record a programme to both HDD and DVD simultaneously.

≥[RAM] [DVD-R]

Discs cannot be recorded correctly if you try to record PAL system when they already contain records using NTSC.

For any one DVD-RAM/DVD-R disc, programme is recorded using only one TV system (PAL or NTSC) that is defined by the first programme recorded on the disc. However, both types of programme (PAL/NTSC) may be recorded onto the HDD.

∫ Recording

≥You can record up to 250 programmes on HDD, 99 on a disc. (1 programme may be recorded continuously for 6 hours at its maximum.)

≥[HDD]

- When a programme is being recorded, or the unit is on standby for timer recording, only programmes of the same encoding system as selected in “TV System” (i.e. either PAL or NTSC) (page 55) can be played.

≥DVD-R has limitations on recording (page 8).

≥In RGB recording, set “AV2 Input” to “RGB (PAL only)”. (page 55)

≥The video is recorded in a 4:3 aspect irrespective of the video signal input.

When using DVD-R or discs with LPCM recording or setting “DVD-R Rec for High Speed mode” to “On”

≥When recording bilingual TV broadcast while receiving a bilingual TV broadcast

You can use the SETUP menus to select which audio type is recorded, either “M1” or “M2”. “M1” is the default setting. (page 54, “Sound”— “Bilingual Audio Selection”)

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).
