The outputs of 3, 4, 5, 8 and 9 are dedicated to modules of digital signal processing (DVD). The video and audio outputs of 6 and 7 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 6 and 7.

For a conventional tube television, we recommend using the Scart terminal. 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.

21-pin Scart terminal

The 21-pin Scart terminal transmits both input and output signals for picture and sound. TVs equipped with the same type of terminal can be connected here. This type of terminal is also called Peritel, Euro Connector and Euro AV.

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.

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 a 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.

Connect an amplifier complying with the HDMI Ver. 1.1 standard and adjust the setting in the [Setup] menu to [HDMI and Optical]. Now you can enjoy the full audio sound.

For HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) compatible units with DVI (Digital Visual Interface) 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.

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.

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.

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 disc 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 Video Recording format (VR)

This format enables recording and playback. Programmes limited to "one-time recording" can be recorded to a CPRM-compatible disc. You can record to a CPRM-compatible DVD-RAM. Playback is only possible with a compatible DVD player. Use a DVD-RAM to record in DVD Video Recording format.

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

Wipe with a moist and then with a dry cloth.

Please refer to your satellite receiver instructions for use of such timer facilities. For your DVD Recorder to recognise 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
