∫ 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.

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.

Maintenance and Handling

Maintenance

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, read the instructions of the

cloth carefully.

Dust and dirt may adhere to the unit’s lenses over time, possibly making it impossible to record or play discs. Use the recommended DVD-RAM/PD lens cleaner (LF-K123LCA1) about once every year, depending on frequency of use and the operating environment.

Disc handling

Do not use irregularly shaped discs such as heart-shaped. (These can damage the unit.)

Read the lens cleaner’s instructions carefully before use. ≥The lens cleaner may sound during use, but this does not mean a

malfunction.

≥“NO READ” appears on the unit’s display when cleaning finishes. The precision parts in this unit are readily affected by the

environment, especially temperature, humidity, and dust. Observe the following points to ensure continued listening and viewing pleasure.

DVD-Audio, DVD-Video, Video CD and CD

Wipe with a damp cloth and then wipe dry.

ªHow to hold a disc

Do not touch the recorded surface.

ªIf there is dirt or condensation on the disc

If the disc is dirty, wipe with a damp cloth and then wipe dry. Moisture may condense on discs after they are brought inside from the cold.

DVD-RAM and DVD-R

≥Clean and dry with an optional DVD-RAM/PD disc cleaner

(LF-K200DCA1, where available). Do not use other cleaners or clothes to clean DVD-RAM and DVD-R.

≥Never use cloths or cleaners for CDs, etc.

Glossary

ªHandling precautions

≥Do not write on the label side with a ball-point pen or other writing

instrument.

≥Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzine, thinner, static

electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent.

≥Do not attach labels or stickers to discs. (Do not use discs with

exposed adhesive from tape or left over peeled-off stickers.)

≥Do not use scratch-proof protectors or covers. ≥Do not use discs printed with label printers except the product by

Panasonic.

≥Do not use discs that are badly warped or cracked.

ªDo not place or store discs in the following places

≥Locations exposed to direct sunlight ≥Humid or dusty locations ≥Locations directly exposed to a heat vent or heating appliance

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories. Not only stereo (2 channel) audio, these signals can also be 5.1-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc by this method.

DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)

DPOF is the standard printing format for still picture data. It is used at a photo studio to print out the still picture data taken with a digital camera etc. or when you print out using a domestic printer.

Drive

In this instruction, drive means the hard disk (HDD) and DVD. These perform the reading and writing of data. Select them by pressing [HDD] and [DVD].

DTS Digital Surround

This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world. The separation between channels is good and the compression ratio is low, so realistic sound effects are possible. DTS soundtracks are produced with the assumption that all channels will be used.

Finalize

This process allows DVD-R to be played on compatible equipment.

∫ Helpful Hints

Frame and field

Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture. A frame consists of 2 fields.

Frame Field Field

≥A frame still is consists of 2 alternating fields, so the picture may

appear blurred, but overall quality is high.

≥A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a

frame still so picture quality is lower.

Hard disk (HDD)

This is a mass data storage device used in computers etc. It spins a disk which has a surface treated with magnetic fluid and reads/ writes large amounts of data at high speed by bringing magnetic head close to the disk.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

This is a system used for compressing/decoding colour still pictures. If you select JPEG as the storage system on digital cameras etc., the data will be compressed to 1/10 —1/100 of its original size. The feature of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering the degree of compression.

MPEG2/MPEG4 (Moving Picture Experts Group)

They are standards for colour motion pictures to be effectively compressed or expanded. MPEG2 is a compression technology used for DVD, etc. This unit adopts MPEG2 when recording programmes. MPEG4 is a compression technology designed for use on mobile devices and network. It can record pictures with high efficiency even in low bit rate.

Pan&Scan/Letterbox

In general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention to be viewed on a widescreen TV with an aspect ratio of 16:9. This means you can view most of material with the intended aspect ratio on a widescreen TV. Material with this ratio will not fit onto a standard TV with an aspect ratio of 4:3. 2 styles of picture, “Pan&Scan” and “Letterbox”, deal with this problem. Pan&Scan: The sides are cut off so the picture fills the screen.

Letterbox: Black bands appear at the top and bottom of the

screen so the picture appears in an aspect ratio of 16:9.

Linear PCM

These are uncompressed digital signals. CDs are recorded with

44.1 kHz/16 bit PCM, while DVDs use PCM between 48 kHz/16 bit and 96 kHz/24 bit, allowing playback with greater quality sound. The linear PCM signals output from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT, OPTICAL terminal are stereo (2 channel). LPCM sound is available when recording in XP mode.

Q Link

This function works only if the unit is connected via a fully-wired 21-pin Scart cable to a TV featuring the Q Link or similar function. Q Link offers the following functions:

1) Download from the TV° When you connect the unit to a TV, the station list data is automatically copied from the TV to the unit, and the TV stations are assigned to the programme positions on the unit in the same order as on the TV.

2) Direct TV Recording By simply pressing [DIRECT TV REC], you can at once record the same programme that you are watching.

3) TV/DVD Auto On° Even if the TV and the unit are off (standby mode), pressing [1, PLAY/k1.3], [TOP MENU, DIRECT NAVIGATOR], [VIDEO Plus+] or [PROG/CHECK] automatically turns on both the TV and the unit. If the TV is off and the unit is on, when you press the [FUNCTION] or the [1, PLAY/k1.3], or insert the disc (except DVD-RAM and DVD-R), the TV automatically is turned on.

4) DVD Auto Standby° When you turn the TV off, the unit is also turned off. However, this function works in the stop mode. This function does not work during the following operations: Preset Download, Auto Setup, Auto Clock Setting and Manual Tuning. This function does also not work when the DVD drive is selected and an audio CD is in the disc tray.

Playback control (PBC)

This is a method of playing Video CDs. You can select parts to play by using menus recorded on the disc.

Play list

This is a collection of scenes. It enables you to play these scenes in succession or to select specific ones.

TIFF (Tag Image File Format)

A still picture data standard. A common format for storing high quality images on digital camera’s and other devices.

PDC

PDC (Programme Delivery Control) Programme Delivery Control adjusts the start and stop time of a timer recording automatically to ensure the recording starts and finishes in line with the programme broadcast. This is useful when a programme over-runs the published times. The station must be transmitting PDC and the exact time must be set for PDC to work.

Title/Chapter (DVD-Video)

DVD-Video are divided into large sections (titles) and smaller sections (chapters). The numbers allocated to these sections are called title numbers and chapter numbers.

Example

(3)

(2)

(4)(5)

(1) Title 1 (2) Title 2 (3) Chapter 1 (4) Chapter 2 (5) Chapter 3

(3)

(1)

(4)

The unit detects whether a station is transmitting PDC only during the tuning process. If PDC is introduced or discontinued by a station you will need to re-tune the unit before it becomes aware of this. PDC transmissions are not currently nation-wide so please check with your local broadcaster for more information. The beginnings of recordings may not be recorded correctly in some cases.

Track

This is the smallest division on CD, and Video CD.
