Check for the ASTA mark Ï or the BSI mark Ì on the body of the fuse.

If the plug contains a removable fuse cover you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced. If you lose the fuse cover, the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local Panasonic Dealer.

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.

≥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 recorded only either of bilingual audio (M1 or M2).

Select the desirable audio type in “Bilingual Audio Selection” (page 60).

≥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.

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

record from HDD to DVD-R with k24 speed at its maximum (in the case of a programme of Dolby Digital recorded in EP mode). The programmes stored on HDD can be quickly recorded on DVD-R.

DVD-Audio

This is a disc for music with high sound quality. ≥In this unit, it is played with 2 channels (stereos).

∫ Before Use

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 video signal by “Sky personal Planner” and “External Link 1”

Functions

To record programmes from satellite receiver using “Sky Personal Planner” function together with the “External Link1” function of this DVD Recorder:

≥Make connections as shown. ≥Change the settings in the SETUP menu as follows (page 61).

- “AV2 Input” set to “Video”

- “AV2 Connection” set to “Ext Link 1”

- “AV1 Output” set to “RGB” or “S-Video” or “Video” to suit the AV terminal of your TV.

≥Set up Personal Planner programmes as required. ≥Press [EXT LINK] on the main unit.

“External Link1” function can only be used with the “Sky Personal Planner” function for timer recording of video signal from the “VCR Scart” terminal of the Sky Digital Set Top Box.

To AC Mains socket

ªRecording RGB Signals

Most Satellite Receivers are capable of outputting RGB signals for viewing on TV through a Scart terminal (called “TV Scart” on a Sky Digital STB). In the case of a Sky Digital STB, recording of RGB signals from the “TV Scart” terminals is possible, but the “Personal Planner” function for timer recording cannot be used in conjunction with the “External Link1” function of this DVD Recorder. To record programmes by RGB signals:

≥Make connections as shown. ≥Set your Sky Digital STB to output “RGB” signals. ≥Change the settings in the SETUP menu as follows (page 61).

- “AV2 Input” set to “RGB”

- “AV2 Connection” set to “NORMAL”

- “AV1 Output” set to “RGB” or “S-Video” or “Video” to suit the AV terminal of your TV.

≥Set up Personal Planner programmes as required. ≥Follow the steps for setting up timer programming.

After setting Personal Planner programmes as required, Sky Digital STB must be left on (not set to standby) to ensure continuous output of RGB signals.

It is not possible to use the “External Link 1” function of the DVD Recorder for timer recording of RGB signals from the Sky Digital STB.

Video Plus+ Codes for Satellite Receivers/Cable TV

This unit is not designed to control (switch on or change channel) your satellite receiver or Cable TV box, however, it can be taught to recognise Video Plus+ Codes for Satellite stations. The Satellite receiver or Cable TV box must be switched on and the correct station selected. Some receivers have their own timer facility for this purpose. Please refer to your Satellite Receiver/Cable TV box instructions for use of such timer facilities.

For your unit to recognise the station, you must teach your unit which channel or AV input to record from for the first time. Otherwise when setting a VIDEO Plus+ recording,

] symbol will appear in the channel position indicating that the

the [ unit does not know which channel position to set. Once you have set the channel/AV input once the unit will remember it whenever you use a Video Plus+ Code

for the station again.

[1] Turn on the TV and the unit. Select

video playback channel on the TV.

[2] Press [VIDEO Plus+].

[3] Enter a Video Plus+ Code from a

Satellite TV Guide for a satellite channel, e.g. Sky 1 using the numeric buttons.

≥If you make a mistake, use [2] to go back.

[4] Press [ENTER]. [ss] will appear

instead of a channel number/AV input.
