Introduction about D-VHS
ABOUT D-VHS
The “D" in D-VHS represents Digital Data. As this name suggests, D-VHS is an extension of the world’s
most popular VHS home video format, which adds new digital recording (storage) capabilities that make it
an ideal match for digital broadcasts.
Like VHS, D-VHS is a tape-based format. Unlike VHS, D-VHS records digital signals as a digital bit streamj
(data) which is compatible with the MPEG II and ATSC standards utilized by your broadcast system.
Since digital data is stored “as is”, there is no loss of quality compared to the original broadcast.
And since you will want to continue enjoying all of the regular VHS tapes you’ve recorded or accumulated,
the D-VHS also offers conventional analog (VHS) recording and playback in addition to digital.
The relationship between type of broadcast, cassette D-VHS Switch, and resulting recording is as follows:

*5: For DTV timer program, tune the Set Top Box to the desired program, them it ON.
Explanations for Each Connection
(1) ANT (Set Top Box)
Connects the broadcast signal from your home antenna to receive Digital broadcasts.
To connect the broadcast signal to the D-VHS VCR, use a 2-Way Splitter {not supplied).
(2) Y, Pb, and Pr Jacks (Set Top Box)
Connects to Y, Pb, and Pr jacks on the Digital TV with RCA type cable to see digital
broadcasts and digital playback programs from the D-VHS VCR.
(3) AUDIO UR OUT Jacks (Set Top Box)
Connects to AUDIO L7R IN on the Digital TV to listen to Audio sound from the Set Top
Box. Y, Pb, Pr, and S-VIDEO jacks do not contain an audio signal. You cannot hear the audio
sound if these jacks are connected to the Digital TV.
(4) S-Video (Set Top Box) |
Connects to S-VIDEO on the Digital TV to see a high quality picture with NTSC.
(5) DIGITAL INTERFACE Jacks (Set Top Box)
Connects to DIGITAL INTERFACE jack on the D-VHS VCR with IEEE1394 Cable
(Supplied) to record and playback digital broadcasts.
• If IEEE1394 HUB is used, the D-VHS VCR may not operate correctly.
• The IEEE1394 cable may not be compatible for connection with other brand Set Top Boxes.
• Digital playback and digital recording with the D-VHS VCR is only possible if the signal is based
on MPEG 2 format.
Even with the D-VHS VCR connected to a DVC (digital video camera) with an IEEE1394 Digital
Interface cable, the D-VHS VCR cannot do a digital recording of the DVC playback, nor can the
DVC do a digital recording of the D-VHS VCR Playback.
(6) IN FROM ANT. Jack (D-VHS VCR)
Connects Antenna or Cable Box or DSS signal.
(7) OUT TO TV Jack (D-VHS VCR)
Connects to RF IN on the Digital TV with RF Cable (Supplied).
(8) AUDIOA^IDEO OUT (Set Top Box) <lf necessary>
Connects to AUDIOA/IDEO IN on the D-VHS VCR with RCA type cable to receive an
analog signal from the Set Top Box. Use this connection to record a digital broadcast
in VHS format with DTV selected as the input mode.
CAUTION: The D-VHS VCR should only be used with a Panasonic Set Top Box as other brands may not
function properly.
If you connect the DIGITAL OUTPUT on the Set Top Box to the DIGITAL INPUT on the DTV compatible TV
only, or the NTSC OUTPUT on the Set Top Box to the AUDIO/ VIDEO IN on the DTV compatible TV only,
some on screen displays such as MENU or PROGRAM will not be displayed.
• When “ ACT or “PRG” is dispiayed in the Multi Function Display, press ACTION or PROG to exit the MENU
or PROGRAM mode in order to operate the PLAY, STOP, REWIND, and FF buttons.
