DVD-R

You can play DVD-R on compatible DVD players by finalizing [the process that allows recordings on DVD-R to be played on compatible DVD players, (page 35)] them on this unit, effectively making them into DVD-Video.

ªBefore finalizing

You can record onto the available space on the disc and perform editing functions, such as giving titles to discs and programmes and erasing programmes. You cannot record to or edit DVD-R with this unit if it was recorded with another unit, whether it is finalized or not. You cannot record over parts that have been recorded. Erasing programmes will not increase the disc’s available time.

ªAfter finalizing

The video and audio is recorded according to the DVD-Video specifications, and your very own DVD-Video is created.

≥The titles you entered with this unit appear as menus. ≥Programmes longer than 5 minutes are divided into 5-minute

chapters.

≥These DVD-R can no longer be recorded on or edited. ≥These DVD-R can be played on other DVD players, but this is not

guaranteed. Play may not be possible due to the player you are using, the DVD-R, or the condition of the recording. Use this unit to play the disc if the player is unable.

For your reference

≥It takes about 30 seconds for the unit to complete recording

management information after recording finishes.

≥To record on DVD-R, this unit optimizes the disc for each

recording. Optimizing is carried out when you start recording after inserting the disc or turning the unit on. Recording may become impossible after the disc is optimized more than 50 times.

≥The first 30 seconds of a programme may not be recorded if you

make successive timer recordings.

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

signal input. Use the television's screen modes to change the screen size for play.

≥Some broadcasts carry signals that allow you to make one copy,

but you cannot record these broadcast with DVD-R. Use DVD-RAM to record these kinds of broadcast.

≥Play may be impossible in some cases due the condition of the

recording.

≥We recommend using DVD-R manufactured by Panasonic as

they have been tested to be compatible with this unit.

≥You cannot change audio type if a DVD-R is in the unit. Select

the audio type (M1 or M2) before recording by going to “Bilingual Audio Selection” in the “Sound” menu.

ªSetting for control of the recording starting and

ending time by special signal Included in the broadcasting signal (VPS/PDC Function)

(For Continental Europe)

VPS stands for Video Programme System. PDC stands for Programme Delivery Control. If a TV programme, for example a football game runs longer than scheduled, is shortened or starts earlier or later, this function synchronizes the recording start and stop with the actual broadcasting start and stop of the TV programme. Conditions for correct operation of the VPS/PDC function:

≥“ON” must be displayed under [VPS/PDC] on the display. ≥The TV station must broadcast VPS/PDC signals. ≥The programme starting time must be set correctly to the starting

time listed in the newspaper/magazine.

To activate the VPS/PDC Function:

Use [3, 4] (10) to make the “ON” indication appear. ªIf “– –” appears under “Name” after entering a

HOWVIEW (G-CODE) number

Name stands for Programme Position/TV Station Name. Normally, the name of the TV station or the number of the programme position is displayed under “Name”. However, if the TV station information was not automatically set during Preset Downroad or Auto Setup due to adverse reception conditions, the “– –” indication appears instead. In such a case, follow the operation steps below to correct it.

Use [3, 4] (10) repeatedly to select the programme position on which the TV programme to be recorded will be broadcast.

After you have entered the information of a TV station, it remains stored in the unit’s memory, and you do not need to enter it again in the future.

Operating other Panasonic DVD equipment with the remote control

By changing the remote control code, you can operate other DVD recorders and players manufactured by Panasonic. Most of the DVD recorders and players manufactured by Panasonic use the same system for their remote controls, so if you operate them in the same place, the controls can be confused by the different pieces of equipment. Use the following procedure to change the remote control code to solve this problem. ≥Use “1”, the factory set code, under normal circumstances.

Preparation

≥Switch [DVD, TV] (15) to “DVD”.

Press [ENTER] (10) and the numeric buttons (4) corresponding to the code you want to set, [1], [2], or [3], at the same time.

Note

≥Be sure to set the same remote control code on the main unit as

you did for the remote control itself (page 55, “Settings” — “Remote”).

≥The following display appears on the unit’s display if its code and

the remote control’s code are different. Change the remote control’s code to suit the unit.

Glossary

Bitstream

This is the compressed form of digital signals. A decoder decodes these signals into 5.1 surround and multi-channel signals.

Channel (when referring to DVD)

Sound is divided into channels based on the sound’s role. For example, 5.1 channel

≥Front speakers — 1 left channel and 1 right channel ≥Center speaker —1 channel ≥Surround speakers—1 left channel and 1 right channel ≥Subwoofer —1 channelk0.1 (the ratio of bass to the total amount

of sound output)

Examples as shown in the status display

3/2 .1 ch

(1) 1: Subwoofer signal

(not displayed if there is no subwoofer signal)

(2) 0: No surround

1: Mono surround 2: Stereo surround (left/right)

(3) 1: Center

2: Front leftiFront right 3: Front leftiFront rightiCenter

DIRECT NAVIGATOR

This is a list of programmes you have recorded. You can select programmes from the list to view. The list also shows the date and time of recording, the channel, and the titles of titled programmes. The selected programme is played in the background, making selection even simpler.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories. Apart from 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 using this method.

Dolby Pro Logic

A surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as 2 channels and then is restored to 4 channels for play. The surround channel is monaural.

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.

Linear PCM

This is a form of signal that has been digitized without compressing it. 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 reproduction of greater quality sound. The linear PCM signals output from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT, OPTICAL terminal are stereo (2 channel).

NICAM (NICAM Broadcasting System)

This is a 2 channel sound broadcast system which in most instances provides high quality stereo sound. Broadcasters can also transmit two separate mono soundtracks on this system.

Pan&Scan/Letterbox

In general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention that they be viewed on a widescreen television with an aspect ratio of 16:9. This means you can view most material with the intended aspect ratio on a widescreen television. Material with this ratio will not fit onto a standard television with an aspect ratio of 4:3. Two 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

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

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 to play.

Programme (PRG)

The section between the point where recording is started and the point where it is stopped.

Sampling frequency

This is the number of samples of sound taken per second during conversion to a digital signal. A high sampling frequency results in a sound close to the original when played back.

S-video output

The colour and luminance signals are separated before being sent to the television, making for greater picture clarity.

Frame and field

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

Frame Field Field

≥A frame still is made up of two 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.

Q Link (For Continental Europe)

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] (17), you can at once record the same programme that you are watching on the TV.

3) TV/DVD Auto Power On* Even if the TV and the unit are off (standby mode), pressing [1] (21), [ShowView] ([G-Code]) (2) or [PROG/CHECK] (13) automatically turns on both the TV and the unit.

4) DVD Auto Power Off* When you turn the TV off, the unit is turned off as well. 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.

5) On-Screen Messages* When you are watching a TV programme, the following unit messages appear on the TV screen to inform you of the unit’s condition:

Message Message appears when:

VPS/PDC

(For Continental Europe) VPS (Video Programme System)/ PDC (Programme Delivery Control) VPS or PDC is a very convenient system which assures that the TV programmes you have programmed for timer recording will be recorded exactly from beginning to end, even if the actual broadcasting time differs from the scheduled time due to delayed start or extension of the programme duration. Also, if a programme is interrupted and, for example, some special news is inserted, the recording will also be interrupted automatically and resumed when the programme continues. Depending on the signals sent from the TV stations, the VPS/PDC system may not operate properly even when “VPS/PDC” has been set to “ON”. Please check with the broadcasters in your area for details. ≥In the case of VPS/PDC recording, use the correct time (VPS/PDC time) for recording the TV programmes.

Set “VPS/PDC” to “OFF” when the recording time is not the correct time (VPS/PDC time). VPS/PDC recording is not performed when the time (VPS/PDC time) is incorrect, even if only by one minute. To find out the correct time (VPS/PDC time), consult Teletext, a newspaper or magazine, or other source.

≥If the actual broadcasting times of timer recordings overlap (regardless of whether they are VPS/PDC controlled), the recording that starts

first always has priority, and the recording of the later beginning programme will start only after the first timer recording has finished.

≥When the VPS/PDC signal drops out because the broadcast signal is weak, or when a TV station does not transmit a regular VPS/PDC

signal, the timer recording will be performed in the normal mode (without VPS/PDC) even if it was programmed for VPS/PDC. In this case, even if the timer recording is performed, whatever has been programmed will not be cancelled at that particular time but at 4 a.m. the day after tomorrow.

≥The start times of scheduled programmes listed in the newspaper or magazine may be changed at a later date. Set “VPS/PDC” to “OFF”

when programming a programme whose start time has been subsequently changed. Particular care must be taken in this respect with

HOWVIEW (G-CODE) programming since “VPS/PDC” is automatically set to “ON” in some countries.

≥If a programme listed in a newspaper or magazine has two S

if you wish to proceed with VPS/PDC recording using S

HOWVIEW (G-CODE) numbers, use the SHOWVIEW (G-CODE) number for VPS/PDC

HOWVIEW (G-CODE) programming.

≥The default settings for “VPS/PDC” differ depending on the country concerned. Refer to the following table.
