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 2.8 GB DVD-RAM/DVD-R. Do not allow the disc to become dirty or scratched. Fingerprints,

≥

dirt, dust, and scratches on the recording surface may make it impossible to use the disc for recording. If you use DVD-RAM cartridges, you can protect your recordings

≥

with the write protected tab (page 73). With the tab in this position, you cannot record to the disc, delete programmes with the direct navigator, edit with the play list screen, or format the disc. This unit is compatible with both non-cartridge and cartridge

≥

DVD-RAM, but cartridge-type discs give better protection to your valuable recordings.

For your reference

DVD-RAM recorded on this unit cannot be played on

≥

incompatible players (including players manufactured by Panasonic).

Using a Panasonic DVD-RAM, you can record broadcasts that

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 39)] 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.

Visit Panasonic’s homepage for more information about DVDs. http://www.matsushita-europe.com/

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.

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,

(For the United Kingdom)

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 PDC function:

“ON” must be displayed under [PDC] on the screen.

The TV station must broadcast PDC signals.

≥

The programme starting time must be set correctly to the starting

) 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.

Use the recommended DVD-RAM/PD lens cleaner (LF-K123LCA1) every 1 to 4 months, depending on frequency of use and the operating environment. Read the lens cleaner’s instructions carefully before use.

The lens cleaner may make some sound during use but this does not indicate a malfunction.

≥

“U11” 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.

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 left 3: Front left

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.

Front right

Front rightiCenter

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 Broadcasting System)

NICAM

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.

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. 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.
