This DVD Recorder records high quality pictures to rapid random access capable HDD (Hard disk drive) and DVD-RAM. This has resulted in
many new features that outperform older tape formats. The following information summarizes a few of these features.
Instant recording
You no longer need to search for empty disc space. By pressing the
recording button, the unit finds available recording space and begins
recording right away. There is no need to worry about overwriting
already recorded content.
1 Sec. Quick Start for Recording & EPG Display
From the power on, recording starts in about 1 second§ after the
REC button is pressed. If the GUIDE button is pressed while the unit
is off, the Electronic Program Guide (EPG) displays in less than 1
second. (Quick Start Mode)
§
Only when recording to the HDD or DVD-RAM
HDD recording
You can keep on recording your favorite programmes to an internal
HDD that is able to record up to 355 hours [EP (8 Hours) mode].
You can also high speed transfer (dub) your favorite programmes to
DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW (DVD-Video format) or +R and create a
backup disc.
SD card slot, DV input terminal
≥The SD card slot of this unit lets you play digital camera
photographs and transfer (dub) them from a card to DVD-RAM for
easy storage without using a computer.
≥The DV automatic recording function of this unit lets you easily
transfer (dub) a video to the HDD by connecting only a single DV
cable.
Instant play
There is no need to rewind or search forward. Direct Navigator
guides you to the beginning of the recorded video immediately.
Chasing playback
There is no need to wait until recording is complete. Without
stopping recording, you can play the video currently being recorded
from its beginning.
Simultaneous Recording and Playback
While recording, you can play another video programme that was
recorded previously.
Time Slip
During play, and also while recording, you can jump to the scene you
wish to view by specifying the skip time.
The GUIDE Plus+ system
The GUIDE Plus+ system provides programme information from the
host station displayed on the television like a TV programme
magazine. Setting up to record a broadcast is easy too. Simply
select the desired programme from the displayed list. You can also
search for desired programmes by displaying only the programmes
in a certain category.
≥This service may not be available in some areas.

HDD (Hard disk drive) handling care
The HDD is a high precision recording instrument and because of its long recording capability and high speed operation it is a very special device
that is easily susceptible to damage.
As a basic rule, save important content to a disc as backup.
∫ The HDD is a device that is not built to withstand vibration/shock or dust
Depending on the setup environment and handling of the HDD some content may become damaged and play and recording may no longer be
possible. Especially during operation, do not subject the unit to any vibration, shock, or remove the AC mains lead from the household mains
socket. In the event of a power failure during recording or play, the content may be damaged.
∫ The HDD is a temporary storage device
The HDD is not an everlasting storage device for recorded content. Use the HDD as a temporary storage place for one-off viewing, editing, or
saving recorded content to a disc.
∫ Immediately save (backup) all content as soon as you feel there may be a problem with the HDD
If there is an irregularity within the HDD, repetitive strange sounds or problems with picture (block noise, etc.) may result. Using the HDD in this
condition may worsen the problem and in the worst case the HDD may no longer become usable. As soon as you notice this type of problem,
transfer (dub) all content to disc and request service. Recorded content (data) on a HDD that has become unusable is unrecoverable.
≥When the HDD has been automatically placed in the SLEEP mode (➡ below), or the unit is turned on or off, there may be an unexpected sound.
This does not indicate a problem with this unit.
∫ Setup precautions
≥Do not place in an enclosed area so the rear cooling fan
and the cooling vents on the side are covered up.
≥Place the unit on a surface that is flat and not subject to
vibration or impact.
≥Do not place on anything that
generates heat like a video cassette
recorder, etc.
≥Do not place in an area often subject to
temperature changes.
≥Place in an area where condensation
does not occur. Condensation is a phenomenon where moisture
HDD (Hard disk drive) handling care
forms on a cold surface when there is an extreme change in
temperature. Condensation may cause internal damage to the
unit.
≥Conditions where condensation may occur
–When there is an extreme change in temperature (moving from
a very hot location to a very cold location, or vice versa, or
when subjected to an air conditioner or when cooled air
directly impacts the unit). When the HDD (warms during
operation) is subjected to cold air, condensation may form on
the inside of the HDD and may cause damage to the HDD
heads, etc.
–When there is high humidity or a lot of steam in the room.
–During the rainy season.
In the above situation, without turning the unit on, let the unit
adjust to the room temperature and wait 2–3 hours until
condensation is gone.
This unit
VCR
∫ Cigarette smoke etc. causes malfunction or
breakdown
The unit may breakdown if cigarette smoke or bug spray/vapor,
etc. gets inside the unit.
∫ While operating
≥Do not move the unit or subject to vibration or impact. (The
HDD may become damaged.)
≥Do not remove the AC mains lead from the household mains
socket, or flip the power breaker switch.
While the unit is on, the HDD is rotating at high speed. Sound or
movement due to rotation is normal.
∫ When moving the unit
1 Turn the unit off. (Wait until “BYE” disappears from the
display.)
2 Remove the AC mains lead from the household mains socket.
3 Move only after the unit has come to a complete stop (approx.
2 minutes) in order to avoid subjecting to vibration and shock.
(Even after turning the unit off, the HDD continues operating
for a short time.)
∫ HDD recording time remaining
This unit records using a VBR (Variable bit rate) data compression system to vary recorded data segments to match video data segments which
may cause differences in the displayed amount of time and space remaining for recording.
If the remaining amount of time is insufficient, erase any unwanted titles to create enough space before you start recording. (Erasing a playlist will
not increase the amount of time.)
RQT8203
4
∫ When “HDD SLP (SLEEP)” appears on the unit’s display
The HDD has been automatically placed in the SLEEP mode. (The HDD continues to rotate at high speed while the unit is on. In order to extend
the life of the HDD, the HDD will be placed in the SLEEP mode if no operation has been performed for 30 minutes while there is no disc on the
disc tray.)
≥Press [HDD] to activate.
≥While in SLEEP mode play or recording may not start right away because the HDD takes time to be re-activated.
≥When not using the unit, we recommend removing the disc in the tray in order to set the HDD to the SLEEP mode.
∫ Indemnity concerning recorded content
Panasonic does not accept any responsibility for damages directly or indirectly due to any type of problems that result in loss of recording or
edited content (data), and does not guarantee any content if recording or editing does not work properly. Likewise, the above also applies in a
case where any type of repair is made to the unit (including any other non-HDD related component).

Disc and card handling
∫ How to hold a disc or card
Do not touch the recorded surface or the terminal surface.
∫ Concerning non-cartridge discs
Be careful about scratches and dirt.
∫ If there is dirt or condensation on the disc
Wipe with a damp cloth and then wipe dry.
∫ Handling precautions
≥Do not attach labels or stickers to discs. (This may cause disc
warping and un-balanced rotation, rendering it unusable.)
≥Write on the label side of the disc only with a soft, oil-based felt
pen. Do not use ballpoint pens or other hard writing implements.
≥Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzine, thinner, static
electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent.
≥Do not use scratch-proof protectors or covers.
≥Do not expose the terminals of the card to water, garbage or other
strange things.
≥Do not drop stack, or impact discs. Do not place objects on them.
≥Do not use the following discs:
–Discs with exposed adhesive from removed stickers or labels
(rental discs, etc.).
–Discs that are badly warped or cracked.
–Irregularly shaped discs, such as heart
shapes.
≥Do not place in the following areas:
–In direct sunlight.
–In very dusty or humid areas.
–Near a heater.
–Locations susceptible to significant difference in temperature
(condensation can occur).
–Where static electricity or electromagnetic waves occur.
≥To protect discs from scratches and dirt, return them to their cases
or cartridges when you are not using them.
The manufacturer accepts no responsibility and offers no compensation for loss of recorded or edited material due to a problem
with the unit or recordable media, and accepts no responsibility and offers no compensation for any subsequent damage caused by
such loss.
Examples of causes of such losses are
≥A disc recorded and edited with this unit is played in a DVD Recorder or computer disc drive manufactured by another company.
≥A disc used as described above and then played again in this unit.
≥A disc recorded and edited with a DVD Recorder or computer disc drive manufactured by another company is played in this unit.
Unit care
The precision parts in this unit are readily affected by the
environment, especially temperature, humidity, and dust.
Cigarette smoke also can cause malfunction or breakdown.
To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
≥Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit.
≥Before using chemically treated cloth, carefully read the
instructions that came with the cloth.
Observe the following points to ensure continued listening and
viewing pleasure.
Dust and dirt may adhere to the unit’s lens over time, making it
impossible to record or play discs.
Use the DVD lens cleaner about once every year, depending on
frequency of use and the operating environment. Carefully read the
lens cleaner’s instructions before use.
DVD lens cleaner: RP-CL720E
Do not place the unit on
amplifiers or equipment
that may become hot.
The heat can damage the unit.
[Note]
Do not obstruct the rear panel’s internal cooling fan.
Before moving the unit, ensure the disc tray is empty.
Failure to do so will risk severely damaging the disc and the
unit.

Bitstream
This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel)
before it is decoded into its various channels.
CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media)
CPRM is technology used to protect broadcasts that are allowed to
be recorded only once. Such broadcasts can be recorded only with
CPRM compatible recorders and discs.
Decoder
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This
is called decoding.
Dolby Digital
This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby
Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can
also be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can
be recorded on one disc using this method.
When recording on this unit Dolby Digital (2 channel) is the default
audio.
Down-mixing
This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found on
some discs into two channels. It is useful when you want to listen to
the 5.1-channel audio recorded on DVDs through your television’s
speakers. Some discs prohibit down-mixing and this unit can then
only output the front two channels.
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)
DPOF is the standard printing format for still picture data taken by a
digital camera, etc. It is used for automatic printing at a photo
developing store or on your home printer.
Drive
In the instance of this unit, this refers to the hard disk (HDD), disc
(DVD) and SD card (SD). These perform the reading and writing of
data.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
This surround system is used in many movie theaters. There is good
separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are
possible.
Dynamic range
Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound
that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest
level of sound before distortion occurs.
Dynamic range compression means reducing the gap between the
loudest and softest sounds. This means you can listen at low
volumes but still hear dialogue clearly.
Electronic Programme Guide (EPG)
This is a system used to display the television programme list on
televisions, computers and cellular phones. Data is transmitted using
the internet or television waves. This unit is compatible with the
method using television waves. You can use the television
programme list for functions such as timer recording.
Film and video
DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. This unit can
determine which type has been used, then uses the most suitable
method of progressive output.
For PAL
Film is 25 frames per second.
Video is 50 fields per second (two fields making up one frame).
For NTSC
Film is 24 or 30 frames per second, with motion picture film generally
being 24 frames per second.
Video is 60 fields per second (two fields making up one frame).
Finalize
A process that makes play of a recorded CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, etc.
possible on equipment that can play such media. You can finalize
DVD-R, DVD-RW (DVD-Video format), +R on this unit.
After finalizing, the disc becomes play-only and you can no longer
record or edit. However, finalized DVD-RW can be formatted to
become recordable.
Folder
This is a place on the hard disk or memory card where groups of
data are stored together. In the case of this unit, it refers to the place
where still pictures (JPEG, TIFF) are stored.
Formatting
Formatting is the process of making media such as DVD-RAM
recordable on recording equipment.
You can format the HDD, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW (only as DVD-Video
format) and SD Memory Card on this unit. Formatting erases
irrevocably all contents.

Frames and fields
Frames refer to the single images that constitute the video you see
on your television. Each frame consists of two fields.
u
FrameFieldField
≥A frame still shows two fields, so there may be some blurring, but
picture quality is generally better.
≥A field still shows less picture information so it may be rougher, but
there is no blurring.
HDD (Hard disk drive)
This is a mass data storage device used in computers, etc. A disk
with a surface that has been treated with magnetic fluid is spun and
a magnetic head is brought in close proximity to facilitate the reading
and writing of large amounts of data at high speed.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
This is a system used for compressing/decoding colour still pictures.
If you select JPEG as the storage system on digital cameras, etc.,
the data will be compressed to 1/10–1/100 of its original size. The
benefit of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering
the degree of compression.
LPCM (Linear PCM)
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on
CDs. LPCM sound is available when recording in XP mode.
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)
An audio compression method that compresses audio to
approximately one tenth of its size without any considerable loss of
audio quality. You can play MP3 you have recorded onto CD-R and
CD-RW.
Pan&Scan/Letterbox
In general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention that they be
viewed on a widescreen television (16:9 aspect ratio), so images
often don’t fit regular (4:3 aspect ratio) televisions. Two styles of
picture, “Pan & Scan” and “Letterbox”, deal with this problem.
Pan & Scan: The sides are cut off so the picture
fills the screen.
Letterbox: Black bands appear at the top and
bottom of the picture so the picture
itself appears in an aspect ratio of
16:9.
Playback control (PBC)
If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and
information with menus.
(This unit is compatible with version 2.0 and 1.1.)
Progressive/Interlace
The PAL video signal standard has 625 (or 576) interlaced (i) scan
lines, whereas progressive scanning, called 625p (or 576p), uses
twice the number of scan lines. For the NTSC standard, these are
called 525i (or 480i) and 525p (or 480p) respectively.
Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution video
recorded on media such as DVD-Video.
Your television must be compatible to enjoy progressive video.
Panasonic televisions with 625 (576)/50i · 50p, 525 (480)/60i · 60p
input terminals are progressive compatible.
Protection
You can prevent accidental erasure by setting writing protection or
erasure protection.
Sampling frequency
Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave
(analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital
encoding). Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per
second, so larger numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the
original sound.
Thumbnail
This refers to a miniature representation of a picture used to display
multiple pictures in the form of a list.
TIFF (Tag Image File Format)
This is a system used for compressing/decoding colour still pictures,
a common format for storing high quality images on digital cameras
and other devices.

≥If you have an IDTV with electronic programme guide function for
digital broadcasts, you can perform timer recording using the
electronic programme guide function. Refer to the television’s
operating instructions for further information.
VPS or PDC is a very convenient system which records exactly from
beginning to end of the TV programmes set in timer recording, even
if the actual broadcasting time differs from the scheduled time due to
delayed start or extension of the programme duration. Also, if a
programme is interrupted, for example, some special news is
inserted, the recording will be paused automatically and resumed
when the programme continues.
Depending on the signals sent from the TV stations, the VPS/PDC
system may not work properly even when “VPS/PDC” has been set
to “ON”.
Please check with the broadcasters in your area for details.
≥In the case of VPS/PDC recording, use the correct time (VPS/PDC
time) for recording the TV programmes.
Set “VPS/PDC” to “OFF” when the recording time is not the correct
time (VPS/PDC time).
VPS/PDC recording is not performed when the time (VPS/PDC
time) is incorrect, even if only by one minute. To find out the correct
time (VPS/PDC time), consult Teletext, a newspaper or magazine,
or other source.
≥If the actual broadcasting times of timer recordings overlap
(regardless of whether they are VPS/PDC controlled), the
recording that starts first always has priority, and the recording of
the later programme will start only after the first timer recording has
finished.
When SHOWVIEW
programming
≥When the VPS/PDC signal drops out because the broadcast signal
is weak, or when a TV station does not transmit a regular VPS/
PDC signal, the timer recording will be performed in the normal
mode (without VPS/PDC) even if it was programmed for VPS/PDC.
In this case, even if the timer recording is performed, whatever has
been programmed will not be cancelled at that particular time but
at 4 a.m. two days later.
≥The start times of scheduled programmes listed in the newspaper
or magazine may be changed at a later date. Set “VPS/PDC” to
“OFF” when programming a programme whose start time has
been subsequently changed. Particular care must be taken in this
respect with S
HOWVIEW programming since “VPS/PDC” is
automatically set to “ON” in some countries (➡ below).
≥If a programme listed in a newspaper or magazine has two
HOWVIEW numbers, use the SHOWVIEW number for VPS/PDC if
S
you wish to proceed with VPS/PDC recording using S
HOWVIEW
programming.
≥The default settings for “VPS/PDC” differ depending on the country
concerned. Refer to the following table.

wenn ein Kind die Karte verschluckt hat.
Dieser DVD-Recorder verwendet eine Festplatte (HDD) und eine DVD-RAM und ermöglicht hochqualitative Bildaufnahmen und einen schnellen, freien Zugriff. Das
Gerät ist mit vielen neuen, den älteren Bandaufnahmeformaten überlegenen Funktionen ausgestattet. Im Folgenden sind einige dieser Funktionen zusammengestellt.
Sofortiges Aufnehmen
Vor dem Aufnehmen brauchen Sie keine leere Stelle auf der Disc zu
suchen. Nach Drücken der Aufnahmetaste sucht das Gerät
automatisch eine freie Stelle und beginnt mit der Aufnahme. Es
besteht keine Gefahr, dass existierende Aufnahmen überschrieben
werden.
Schnelles Starten der Aufnahme und Abrufen der EPGAnzeige in nur 1 Sekunde
Wennn Sie die REC-Taste bei eingeschaltetem Gerät drücken,
beginnnt nach ca. 1 Sekunde
Taste bei ausgeschaltetem Gerät drücken, erscheint innerhalb einer
Sekunde der elektronische Programmführer (EPG). (SchnellstartModus)

Vorsichtsmaßnahmen zur Festplatte
Die Festplatte ist ein Speichermedium großer Kapazität, das aufgrund der Präzisionsbauteile und der hohen Drehzahl sehr empfindlich ist und
leicht beschädigt werden kann.
Grundsätzlich ist es ratsam, von wichtigen Aufnahmen eine Sicherungskopie auf einer Disc anzulegen.
∫ Die Festplatte darf keinen Vibrationen/Stößen und keinem Staub ausgesetzt werden
Bei ungünstiger Aufstellung oder unsachgemäßer Handhabung der Festplatte kann das aufgezeichnete Material beschädigt werden. Es kann
dann möglicherweise nicht mehr wiedergegeben oder aufgenommen werden. Insbesondere während des Betriebs ist darauf zu achten, dass die
Festplatte keinen Vibrationen oder Stößen ausgesetzt und das Netzkabel nicht abgetrennt wird. Bei einem Stromausfall während der Aufnahme
oder Wiedergabe können die Daten beschädigt werden.
∫ Die Festplatte ist als Zwischenspeicher konzipiert
Die Festplatte eignet sich nicht zur Langzeitspeicherung. Verwenden Sie sie als Zwischenspeicher zum einmaligen Ansehen der Aufnahme, zum
Editieren oder zum Sichern auf eine Disc.
∫ Bei Problemen mit der Festplatte umgehend eine Sicherungskopie von allen Aufzeichnungen anlegen
Störgeräusche und Bildstörungen (Raster im Bild usw.) sind Anzeichen dafür, dass die Festplatte nicht richtig arbeitet. Bei weiterem Betrieb der
Festplatte kann sich das Problem verschlimmern, und Sie haben evtl. keinen Zugriff mehr auf die Aufzeichnungen. Kopieren Sie bei Problemen
umgehend das ganze Material auf eine Disc und wenden Sie sich an den Kundendienst. Beschädigte Aufnahmen (Daten) der Festplatte sind
unwiderruflich verloren.
≥Wenn die Festplatte automatisch in den SLEEP-Modus schaltet (➡ unten) sowie beim Ein- und Ausschalten des Geräts kann ein kurzes
Tonsignal zu hören sein. Dies ist kein Anzeichen einer Störung.
Vorsichtsmaßnahmen zur Festplatte
∫ Wichtige Hinweise zur Aufstellung
≥Stellen Sie das Gerät so auf, dass der Lüfter auf der
Rückseite und die Kühlöffnungen an der Seite frei sind.
≥Stellen Sie das Gerät auf eine ebene Fläche, die keinen
Vibrationen oder Stößen ausgesetzt ist.
≥Stellen Sie das Gerät nicht auf einen
Videorecorder oder ein anderes
Wärme abgebendes Gerät.
≥Stellen Sie das Gerät nicht an einen Platz
mit häufigen Temperaturschwankungen.
≥Stellen Sie das Gerät an einem Platz auf,
an dem sich kein Kondenswasser bildet. Kondenswasser bildet
sich beispielsweise auf einer kalten Fläche, die einer plötzlichen
starken Temperaturänderung ausgesetzt ist. Durch
Kondenswasser können Teile im Inneren des Geräts beschädigt
werden.
≥Situationen und Orte, an denen sich Kondenswasser bilden
kann
– Bei einer extremen Temperaturänderung (wenn das Gerät von
einem sehr warmen an einen sehr kalten Ort gebracht wird
oder umgekehrt, wenn das Zimmer durch eine Klimaanlage
gekühlt wird oder wenn das Gerät dem direkten Luftstrahl
einer Klimaanlage ausgesetzt ist). Ist die Festplatte (die sich
beim Betrieb erwärmt) kalter Luft ausgesetzt, kann sich
Kondenswasser in der Festplatte bilden und die Köpfe usw.
beschädigen.
– Räume mit hoher Luftfeuchtigkeit oder Wasserdampf.
– In tropischen Ländern während der Regenzeit.
Lassen Sie das Gerät in solchen Fällen ausgeschaltet und
warten Sie etwa 2 bis 3 Stunden ab, bis die Feuchtigkeit
verdunstet ist.
Dieses Gerät
Videorecorder
∫ Zigarettenrauch usw. kann Fehlfunktionen
und Störungen verursachen
Achten Sie darauf, dass kein Zigarettenrauch, kein
Insektenspray und keine anderen Dämpfe in das Gerät
gelangen, da es sonst zu Störungen kommen kann.
∫ Während des Betriebs
≥Das Gerät darf nicht bewegt und keinen Vibrationen oder
Stößen ausgesetzt werden. (Ansonsten kann die Festplatte
beschädigt werden.)
≥Das Netzkabel darf nicht abgetrennt und die Sicherung nicht
unterbrochen werden.
Bei eingeschaltetem Gerät dreht sich die Festplatte mit hoher
Geschwindigkeit. Gewisse Laufgeräusche und Schwingungen
sind kein Anzeichen einer Störung.
∫ Bevor Sie das Gerät bewegen
1 Schalten Sie das Gerät aus. (Warten Sie, bis “BYE” im
Display erlischt.)
2 Trennen Sie das Netzkabel von der Steckdose ab.
3 Bewegen Sie das Gerät erst, wenn es vollkommen zum
Stillstand gekommen ist (nach ca. 2 Minuten). Vorher kann es
durch Vibrationen oder Stöße zu Schäden kommen. (Nach
dem Ausschalten des Geräts läuft die Festplatte noch kurze
Zeit weiter.)
RQT8203
4
∫ Restliche Festplatten-Aufnahmezeit
Das Gerät arbeitet mit einer VBR-Datenkompression (Variable Bit Rate), die die aufgenommenen Datensegmente entsprechend den
Videodatensegmenten variiert. Dadurch kann es vorkommen, dass Differenzen zwischen der angezeigten Zeit und der Aufnahmerestzeit
auftreten.
Reicht die Restzeit nicht aus, löschen Sie nicht mehr benötigte Titel, um Platz zu schaffen, bevor Sie mit der Aufnahme beginnen. (Durch
Löschen einer Playliste erhöht sich die verfügbare Zeit nicht.)
∫ Wenn “HDD SLP (SLEEP)” im Display des Geräts erscheint
Die Festplatte wurde automatisch in den SLEEP-Modus geschaltet. (Bei eingeschaltetem Gerät dreht sich die Festplatte ständig mit hoher
Drehzahl. Um die Lebensdauer der Festplatte zu verlängern, wird sie in den SLEEP-Modus geschaltet, wenn keine Disc eingelegt und 30
Minuten lang keine Bedienung vorgenommen wurde.)
≥Drücken Sie [HDD], um sie wieder zu aktivieren.
≥Wird die Wiedergabe oder Aufnahme aus dem SLEEP-Modus heraus gestartet, dauert es einige Zeit, bis die Festplatte wieder hochgefahren
ist.
≥Bei Nichtverwendung des Geräts empfehlen wir, die Disc aus der Lade herauszunehmen, damit die Festplatte in den SLEEP-Modus schaltet.
∫ Haftung für Aufnahmematerial
Panasonic übernimmt keine Haftung für Schäden, die bei Problemen direkt oder indirekt durch den Verlust von Aufnahmen oder
Editiermaterial (Daten) entstanden sind, und leistet keinen Ersatz für verlorenes Material, wenn die Aufnahme oder das Editieren nicht richtig
ausgeführt werden konnte. Gleiches gilt auch bei einer Reparatur des Geräts (auch wenn es sich um ein nicht mit der Festplatte in
Zusammenhang stehendes Bauteil handelt).
