The outputs of 2, 3, 4, 7 and 8 are dedicated to modules of digital signal processing (DVD). The video and audio outputs of 5 and 6 are dedicated to modules of digital (DVD) or analogue (VHS) signal processing. Both groups of outputs are used for analogue and digital sources. But there are limitations, e.g.: During recording or scheduled recording on DVD, the VHS playback is only possible on outputs of 5 and 6.

For a conventional tube television, we recommend using the Scart socket. You retain a high-quality RGB video picture with an RGB-compatible television.

If you want to use a progressive-capable LCD/plasma television or LCD projector, connect it to COMPONENT VIDEO OUT to get a high quality progressive video picture.

With active write protection, you can neither record to the disc nor edit or delete content.

Cartridge write protection

Remove the 8-cm disc from the cartridge before using it with this unit.

Handling discs

If the surface of a disc, which has no Cartridge or was removed from one, is scratched, dirty, dusty or has finger prints, playback or processing can be impaired. Such impairments can also occur when the disc is placed back in the Cartridge. Note: Only write on the label side of the disc. Use a soft, oil-based felt-tip pen. Do not use a ball-point pen or any other hard writing instrument. Do not affix stickers or labels to the disc. When not in use, put the disc in its case or Cartridge.

Cleaning the DVD-RAM

Clean the disc with a special DVD-RAM cleaner (optional) and read the cleaner instructions throughly before use. Bad scratches and stubborn dirt may not be able to be removed so that recording, editing or playback is still compromised even after cleaning. The disc should then no longer be used. Do not use benzine, alcohol, water, cleaning sprays, household cleaners or other solvents.

DVD lens cleaner (RP-CL720E)

Compatible models: Only for Panasonic's DVD recorders. Do NOT use this cleaner with any other Panasonic DVD products or with the DVD products of any other companies since doing so may damage the products.

Cleaning DVD-Videos, Video-CDs and CDs

S-VHS Quasi Playback (SQPB)

It is possible to play cassettes that were recorded on an S-VHS unit. The picture quality is the same as a VHS recording. Depending on the video tape used, slight picture distortions may occur. An S-VHS recording is not possible with this unit.

Manual tracking

The unit sets tracking automatically. If a cassette was recorded on another unit, it may be necessary to set tracking manually.

The picture shows interference or is blurred during playback.

During normal playback or in slow motion, press until the blurriness disappears. If freeze frames are blurry, first switch the unit to slow motion and then adjust the tracking. Tracking cannot be controlled on some video cassettes. This does not indicate functional problems.

Automatic tracking

Press and at the same time to return to automatic

tracking. On some TVs, the picture can move up or down when special playback functions are used. This does not indicate functional problems.

TRACKING/V-LOCK +/-

Handling video cassettes

If the video cassette is not in use, remove it from the unit and store it in its jacket. Avoid recording on the same tape section multiple times in order to avoid wearing out the video tape prematurely. Carefully insert the cassette into the video recorder to avoid damage. Do not expose the video cassette to high humidity, temperature or dust particles. Do not store the video cassette near magnetic waves, such as television sets. Do not use defective cassettes and do not try to repair them. Do not open the housing or the protective flap on the front side of the cassette and do not touch the tape. Use high-quality name-brand cassettes, such as those made by Panasonic. When playing cassettes recorded on another VHS-Recorder, there may be a slight decrease in picture quality.

Write-protecting cassettes

Remove the write-protection tab to protect cassettes from accidentally being erased. If you want to record to a protected cassette, cover the gap with adhesive tape.

Cleaning video heads

Use a cleaning tape to clean the video heads.

CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media) This unit is compatible with the CPRM copy-protection system for recorable media. When using a CPRM-compatible disc, a digital programme can be recorded once. Programmes broadcast with this copy-protection system cannot be recorded to DVD-R or 2.8 GB DVD-RAM.

Formatting

If using an unformatted disc, you must format it before the first recording. Formatting prepares the media, such as a recordable DVD-RAM, for recording. All data is irreversibly erased.

For recording

The recording is saved to free areas on the disc. If there is no more space left on the disc, you must delete recordings or use a new disc. Continuous recording or playback of both sides of a double-sided disc is not possible. After the end of the recording, the unit needs approx. 30 seconds to record data for recording management.
