Automatic title transfer

When programmes are recorded from the TV Guide, the name of the selected programme is transferred automatically for the recording. If an analogue station broadcasts teletext, the unit automatically records the name of the programme and the station, on condition that the [Title page] setting has been entered correctly in the station table. It can take approx. 10 minutes to find the title with this unit, and sometimes this fails.

Note

The programme overview is available immediately if your DVD Recorder has found a digital station and loaded the information in the memory. This process can take a while depending on the particular station.

The programme overview data are continuously downloaded in the background when the unit is switched on. That means that the programme overview can sometimes change while you are looking at it.

If the unit is disconnected from the AC mains, all programme data are lost

The broadcasters allocate individual programmes to topic areas. If the selection is not complete, this is not an error in the unit.

VIDEO Plus+ Codes for satellite receivers

This DVD Recorder is not designed to control (switch on or change channel) your satellite receiver, however, it can be taught to recognize VIDEO Plus+ Codes for satellite stations. The satellite receiver 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 instructions for use of such timer facilities. For your DVD Recorder to recognize the VIDEO Plus+ Codes for each satellite station, you must teach your DVD Recorder which channel or AV input to record from for the first time. Otherwise when setting a VIDEO Plus+ recording, the [--] symbol will appear in the channel position indicating that the DVD Recorder does not know which channel position to set. Once you have set the channel/AV input the DVD Recorder will remember it whenever you use a VIDEO Plus+ Code for the station again.

Connection with HDMI cable (not included)

If you connect the DVD Recorder to an HDMI-compatible unit, just one cable transfers a high quality digital audio and video signal without interference.

Once an HDAVI Control-compatible unit has been connected to the HDMI terminal, switch the units on and switch on the external unit, select the input channel for the DVD Recorder. Repeat the procedure if there is any change to the HDMI terminal.

The audio signal cannot be transmitted via HDMI if an externally connected unit does not support CPPM (Content Protection for Prerecorded Media), or when playing a DVD audio with copy protection. In this case, use an audio cable.

If an connected TV only supports dual-channel audio, then an audio signal with 3 or more channels is down-converted, with output through 2 audio channels. It is not always possible to down-convert all discs. Titles where down-converting is not possible can only be reproduced via HDMI through an amplifier which corresponds to the HDMI Ver. 1.1 standard or higher and is CPPM compatible.

For HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) compatible units with DVI connection (e.g. PC monitors): depending on the unit, it is possible that a DVI/HDMI adapter does not reproduce the video signal perfectly. The audio signal is not transmitted in this case.

If you connect this unit with an HDMI cable to a Panasonic television set with HDAVI control function, then both units can be controlled. If you connect this unit with an fully wired 21 pin scart cable you can use the Q Link functions to control the television and this unit. You can use both kinds of connection at the same time. Settings for control with HDMI and Q Link:

The following systems from other manufacturers have similar function to Q Link from Panasonic.

- Easy Link (Trademark of Philips)

- SMARTLINK (Trademark of Sony)

- DATA LOGIC (Trademark of Metz)

- Megalogic (Trademark of Grundig) For details, refer to your television's operating

instructions or consult your dealer.

A TV takes a certain time to change over the input channel for the DVD Recorder automatically. It is therefore possible that the television set does not display the playback at the start of the title. Press SKIP or SLOW/SEARCH to return to the start of the playback.

Control via Q Link and HDMI (HDAVI Control)

Automatic input changeover (Easy Playback)

If you start the playback function or select a menu (e.g. Direct Navigator, Timer Recording), the TV automatically switches to the input channel for the DVD Recorder. If you are recording on the DVD drive, the TV does not automatically change to the input channel.

Direct TV recording

Press DIRECT TV REC to directly record the programme you are currently watching. You do not need to enter anything else.

Power on link

If you start the playback function or e.g. select the menu Direct Navigator or Timer Recording or by inserting a disc, the television set switches on and automatically selects the input channel for the DVD Recorder. If you are recording on the DVD drive, the TV does not automatically change to the input channel.

TV/DVD automatic switch-on If the TV set and DVD Recorder are switched off (in standby), both units are switched on automatically by pressing PLAY, DIRECT NAVIGATOR, GUIDE,

VIDEO Plus+ or PROG/CHECK.

Power off link

If the television set is switched off, this unit automatically switches off as well. The unit also switches off while the menu FUNCTIONS, DISPLAY or status messages are being displayed, and even when a Timer-controlled recording has been programmed or during playback. The unit does not switch off during a recording with the REC button, the Copying function or while a disc is being finalized.

Download from TV (analogue channels only) Station transfer from television set. During [data transfer from TV], data for the

station list are automatically downloaded from the TV set. The stations are stored in the same presets of the DVD Recorder as on your TV set.

This unit allows for Timer Recordings using the programming function of the television (e.g. IDTV).

The DVD-RAM can be compared with the hard disk and can be written to 100,000 times on average. The disc can only be played on DVD-RAM-compatible players. The recording occurs in DVD Video Recording format (VR). Movies and parts of movies can be edited and deleted. The deletion of movies frees previously used storage space. The creation of playlists does not require any additional storage space. Dual-channel sound and 16:9 format are supported in addition to the TIME SLIP function.

DVD-R/+R (Recordable) The DVD-R/+R can only be recorded once. Movies or parts of them can be deleted during processing, but storage space is still taken up and cannot be used for other movies. Through finalization, the DVD-R/+R becomes DVD-V that can be played on other units.

Handling discs

If the surface of a disc that does not have a cartridge or that was removed from the cartidge is not clean, recording, playback or processing can be impaired by scratches, dirt, dust or fingerprints. Such impairments may also still occur when the disc is inserted into the cartridge. Note: You can 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 other hard writing instrument. Do not apply 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 before use. Stubborn dirt may not be removable so that recording, playback or processing is still impaired even after cleaning. In this case, the disc should no longer be used. Do not use petrol, alcohol, water, cleaning sprays, household cleaners or other solvents.

DVD lens cleaner (RP-CL720E) Compatible models: Only for 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 of DVD-Videos, Video CDs and CDs

Wipe them with a damp and then a dry clothe.
