The manufacturer accepts no responsibility and offers no compensation for loss of recorded or edited material due to a problem with the unit or disc, and accepts no responsibility and offers no compensation for any subsequent damage caused by such loss. Examples of causes of such losses are

(1) A disc recorded and edited with this unit is played in a DVD

recorder or computer disc drive manufactured by another company.

(2) A disc used as described in (1) and then played again in this

unit.

(3) A disc recorded and edited with a DVD recorder or computer

disc drive manufactured by another company is played in this unit.

Note

≥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.

≥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 69). 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

allow you to make one copy, such as some satellite broadcasts.

≥This unit cannot record PAL signals to discs containing NTSC

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.

Visit Panasonic’s homepage for more information about DVDs. http://www.panasonic-europe.com (For Continental Europe)

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.
