Introduction
About this product
Introduction
Digital AV equipment
This recorder is operated by sophisticated software and
is different from other conventional AV equipment. Within
the recorder, a DVD-RAM/R drive and a hard disc drive
are connected by ATAPI, one of the standard
connections used for personal computers (PCs). The
hardware and software work by way of an operating
system (OS), which requires some time to start up after
turning on the power. Also, some commands, such as
erasing recorded contents may take time to execute.
About the internal hard disc (HDD)
Generally, hard discs (HDD) are very fragile. Depending
on the operating conditions, the internal HDD may
partially fail, or in the worst cases, may completely stop
functioning. Therefore, use the HDD as a temporal
storage, not as a long-term archive. After watching the
recorded contents once or copying it to a DVD-RAM disc,
the contents should be erased from the HDD.
If the damaged part of the HDD is used for recording,
block noise may occur. If you continue using the HDD,
the noise may worsen, and you risk permanent damage
to the entire HDD. When such noise is observed, copy
the HDD’s contents to a DVD-RAM disc immediately. Like
a hard disc in a PC, the HDD can be easily damaged,
and should be used cautiously with a backup.
Playback Restriction
This owner’s manual explains the basic instructions for
this recorder. Some DVD video discs are produced in a
manner that allows specific or limited operation during
playback. As such, the recorder may not respond to all
operating commands. This is not a defect in the recorder.
Refer to the instruction notes of discs.
” may appear on the TV screen during operation.
“
” means that the operation is not permitted by the
“
recorder or the disc.
Using different disc types for different purposes
Use DVD-RAM discs for your personal library
DVD-RAM discs comply with the global standard DVDVR (Video Recording) format, and are optimized for
recording of TV programmes. You can rewrite them
about 100,000 times without any deterioration, erase
unnecessary parts, divide a chapter, or specify playback
area by frame. Its cartridge is suitable for a long-term
storage and family use, and its large capacity of 9.4 GB
double sided disc is space saving.
Use DVD-R discs when creating your own original
discs for distribution
DVD-R discs comply with the global standard DVDVIDEO format, and can be recorded only once. DVD-R
discs are convenient when you edit your original content
(recorded personal events such as a wedding party) with
your PC, and send them to your friends or relatives. The
discs can be played on other DVD players. (Not all
compatible DVD video players can play DVD-R discs
recorded with this recorder.)
* This format is not suited for recording TV programmes.
According to DVD-VIDEO format, recording and
dividing into chapters must be by 15 frames. Possibly
an unnecessary part may remain even after editing.
Also, you cannot record programmes that include a
scene with bilingual sounds, and programms that
permit copying only once.

On DVD-RAM discs
Introduction
Use only DVD-RAM discs that comply with DVDRAM standard Version 2.0 or 2.1
The recorder cannot record on a disc formatted in any
other standard. When using such a disc, initialize it
using the disc-format function of the recorder.
The recorder may not record, dub, or edit some DVDRAM discs, because they are edited/recorded with
another manufacture’s equipment or PC, contain a
large number of titles, or have little remaining capacity.
Also, a DVD-RAM disc may not be edited or recorded
if its title contains still pictures.
This recorder complies with current copyright
protection technology and can copy a disc only when
the disc permits copying once. When there is no
indication on the disc, copying will not be allowed.
DVD-RAM discs with cartridges are
recommended for recording
Tw o types of DVD-RAM discs are
available: ones with cartridges and ones
without cartridges. You can use either of
them with this recorder, but the former
ones are recommended.
In order to record highly detailed data, make sure the
disc is clean. DVD-RAM discs with cartridges are
easier to handle in this regard.
Do not open the cartridge shutter. The disc may not
play, or may not be recorded or edited once it
becomes dirty.
There are two types of DVD-RAM cartridges;
removable and not removable. It is recommended you
do not remove the disc even when you can.
Refer to the instruction manual that comes with the
disc if it is absolutely necessary to remove the disc.
Some commercially available cartridge discs cannot
be recorded or edited once the inside discs are
removed.
To protect recorded contents
Slide the write-protect tab to
“PROTECT” with something sharp.
The disc can play, but cannot be
edited or erased. Refer to the
instructions that come with the disc.
• The resuming function (
31) will not work if the write-protect
tab is set to “PROTECT”.
When using a disc without a
cartridge (commercially
available discs)
Discs without cartridges can easily
attract fingerprints and dust, which is the reason they
are not recommended. If you cannot avoid using them,
handle with proper care.
When you write in a title column on a disc, use a pen
with a soft tip. Do not use a pen with a hard tip, such
as a ballpoint pen.
Recommended discs
The following discs have been tested with this recorder:
9.4 GB double-sided type4 cartridge: Panasonic LMAD240E
4.7 GB single-sided type4 cartridge: Panasonic LMAB120E
page
PROTECT
On DVD-R discs
A 4.7 GB DVD-R disc can only be recorded from the
HDD when the DVD-R Broadcast Record (
is set to on; you cannot record directly on the disc. Only
blank discs that have never been recorded are usable.
Once recorded, you cannot add or delete content.
Make sure that the disc is clean, as the discs are not
covered with cartridges. Images that restrict or prohibit
copying cannot be recorded. And not all compatible DVD
Video players can play DVD-R discs recorded with this
recorder.

single copying”.
Some functions such as Library may not work with PC discs.
The company does not hold any responsibility to compensate the contents which should have been recorded, and
any losses or damages (e.g. losses of business profit, or business intermission) that may arise from malfunction of
this recorder (not recording/editing as intended).
