≥We recommend using Panasonic discs. We also recommend using DVD-RAM discs with cartridges to protect them from scratches and dirt.

≥You may not be able to record depending on the condition of the discs and you may not be able to play due to the condition of the recording.

≥For the recording time, refer to “Recording modes and approximate recording times” on page 23.

≥You cannot record programmes that allow “One time only recording” to CPRM compatible DVD-R and DVD-RW on this unit. You can record other programmes as DVD-Video format.

§1 You cannot continue a recording from the first layer to the second layer on dualor double-layer discs. To record onto the second layer, you must first close the first layer using the “Close First Layer” item in DVD Management ( 45). You will no longer be able to record to the first layer after you do this ( 22).

When playing a title recorded on both layers, video and audio may momentarily cut out when the unit is switching layers. §2 You may not be able to use +R recorded on this unit in another Panasonic DVD recorder and vice versa. Once the disc is

finalized, however, it can be played in the other unit.

§3 The amount of the recordable disc space doesn’t increase even if the programme is deleted when you use a one time recording disc. §4 CPRM ( 65) compatible discs only.

§5 This unit can use the high-speed recording discs shown in the chart, but using them will not shorten the recording time. §6 You can play 8x recording speed discs recorded on another equipment.

§7 Play on DVD-R DL compatible equipment. §8 Play on +R DL compatible equipment.

Regarding recording format

VR (DVD Video Recording) format

This is a recording method which allows you to freely record and edit television broadcasts and so on.

≥Digital broadcasts that allow “One time only recording” can be recorded to a CPRM compatible disc. You can record to CPRM compatible DVD-RAM on this unit.

≥Play is only possible on a compatible DVD player.

Preventing the front and surround speakers from falling over

Preparation

Attach screw eyes (not included) to secure the speakers to the wall ( diagram right).

≥You will need to obtain the appropriate screw eyes to match the walls or pillars to which they are going to be fastened.

≥The walls or pillars to which the screw eyes are going to be fastened should be capable of supporting 20 kg. Consult a qualified housing contractor concerning the appropriate procedure when attaching to a concrete wall or a surface that may not have strong enough support. Improper attachment may result in damage to the wall or speakers.

To prevent the speaker from falling over, thread the string (not included) from the wall to the speaker as shown and tie tightly.

Notes on speaker use

≥You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if you play sound at high levels over extended periods.

≥Reduce the volume in the following

cases to avoid damage: –When playing distorted sound.

–When the speakers are reverberating due to a record player, noise from FM broadcasts, or continuous signals from an oscillator, test disc, or electronic instrument.

–When adjusting the sound quality. –When turning the unit on or off.

If irregular colouring occurs on your television

The front and center speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions and setup combinations.

If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes.

The television’s demagnetizing function should correct the problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the television.
