About this product
Introduction
Some differences
This DVD recorder is more similar to a computer than it is to a standard DVD player. In addition to a microprocessor, it contains a hard disc drive (an HDD), an operating system, random access memory (RAM), and a DVD-RAM/R/RW drive. The operating system includes software stored on the HDD that is transferred to the RAM when the machine is turned on and at other times during operation. This transfer can take time. Thus, when you turn on the DVD recorder, it may be a minute or so before it is ready to use. Likewise, other functions may not be performed as quickly as they would on other AV equipment. In addition, because programs stored on the DVD-RAM/R/RW drive cannot be accessed as quickly as those stored on the HDD, accessing those programs (or deleting a program from a DVD-RAM or DVD-RW disc) may take more time. Please take these factors into consideration as you use the DVD recorder.
About the hard disc drive (HDD)
Like any HDD, the HDD in the DVD recorder is a fragile device that is susceptible to partial or complete failure if it is jarred or as a result of use over time. It will not last forever. Therefore, do not use the HDD for longer term storage of programs you wish to retain. [If portions of the HDD become damaged, programs recorded on those portions may exhibit pixelization or block noise when played back. Repeated playback of the program may cause the problem to get worse and, eventually, the program may become unplayable. Accordingly, if you notice such noise in a program that you want to save, you should transfer to a recordable DVD disc as soon as possible.] Recordable DVD discs are also susceptible to damage if not handled and stored carefully and some or all of the programs on them may become unplayable. You can reduce these risks by using high quality DVD recordable discs and checking their playability from time to time. If it becomes necessary to service your DVD recorder, it may be necessary to delete some or all of the programs on the HDD.
Playback Restrictions
This owners 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. Please refer to the notes on compatible discs later in this Introduction and to the discussion of DVD playback and features later in this manual.
may appear on the TV screen dur ing operation.
means that the operation is not permitted by the
recorder or the disc.
Recording Restrictions
Copy-protected contents of DVD-Video disc, VIDEO CDs or audio CDs on the market cannot be copied on this recorder. Contents without copy protection should be copied or edited only in accordance with applicable copyright laws, which may restrict copying or editing. Contents that permit single copying (copy once contents) can be recorded onto DVD-RAM discs, with some dubbing and editing restrictions. DVD-R/RW discs cannot record these contents.
Compatiblity
In isolated cases, a disc bearing the DVD or CD logo may not fully and properly play back all features. This can be due, among other reasons, to problems and errors that can occur during the creation or recording of DVD and other software and the manufacture of software discs (including blank discs). Moreover, because of variations in the quality of discs, this recorder may not be able to record on all discs that bear a DVD-RAM, DVD-R or DVD-RW logo, but you should not encounter difficulty if you use only high quality recordable DVD discs.

Using different disc types for different purposes
DVD-RAM discs for your personal library
DVD-RAM discs comply with the global standard DVD-VR (Video Recording) format, and are optimized for recording of TV programs. You can rewrite repeatedly without deterioration of an image quality, erase unnecessary parts, divide a chapter, or specify playback area by frame. Its cartridge is suitable for a longer-term storage and family use, and its large capacity of 9.4 GB allows more recording space.
DVD-R discs when creating your own original discs for distribution
DVD-R discs are designed to comply with the global standard DVD-Video 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 this recorder, transfer them to the recorder and make copies to send to your friends or relatives. The discs can be played on other compatible DVD players. DVD-RW discs, which are rewriteable, can be used as well. * DVD-R and DVD-RW may not be the best suited format for recording TV programs. Because of the way the discs
are formatted, it may not be possible to edit or divide the program as you may prefer, to record secondary languages, or programs that are copy protected in a way that allows only one copy. (NOTE: “Copy once” protected programs
generally can be recorded to DVD-RAM discs.) * This recorder records on a DVD-R/RW disc in DVD-Video format only. In DVD-VR format, recording is not possible. * On DVD-R/RW discs, direct recording, copying or the method Creating a DVD-Video” (

Introduction Compatible discs (Continued)
On DVD-RAM discs
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 by using the disc-format function of this 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. DVD-RAM discs formatted in UDF2.0 on a PC are not compatible with this recorder. Before using these discs, initialize them on this recorder. 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. Such an indication on a disc is required also for the Library Management database.
DVD-RAM discs with cartridges are recommended for recording.
Two 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 (TYPE 2/4) and not removable (TYPE 1). 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 small enough. The disc can play, but cannot be edited or erased. Refer to the instructions that come with the disc.
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 cartridge: Panasonic LM-AD240U
4.7 GB single-sided cartridge: Panasonic LM-AB120U
PROTECT
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). Problems arising in the following situations are included.
When a DVD disc recorded on this recorder is used in a DVD recorder of another manufacturer, or used (insertion, playback, recording or editing) in a personal computer DVD drive.
When a DVD that has been used as above is used again in this recorder.
When a DVD disc recorded in a DVD recorder of another manufacturer, or in a personal computer DVD dr ive
is used.

Before recording
Please be sure to read this critical background information prior to making a recording.
This recorder is equipped with a built-in HDD. Conventional video cassette recorders have required tapes to record, while this recorder enables recording on the HDD whenever you want, without selecting an available tape or confirming its recording time or tape remaining. Further, the DVD-RAM drive on this recorder can record on a DVD-RAM/RW/R disc in the same way as a tape. You can also copy contents recorded on the HDD to a DVD-RAM/RW/R disc to create your own library .
Is your recorder ready?
Before recording a TV program on this recorder, insure that channels you want to record are correctly tuned in on this recorder. If not tuned in, read the separate “INSTALLATION GUIDE volume again, and confirm all the necessary connections and settings have been done. Also, insure the clock is set precisely for program recording. Set the clock using the Initial settings menu (
Disc initializing Whenever you use a new DVD-RAM/RW disc on this recorder, be sure to initialize the disc. For DVD-RAM disc, initialization is indispensable to the database system of this recorder. Normally, the HDD does not need to be formatted. If the HDD does not work normally due to a problem, format the HDD for possible recovery. Once you format the HDD, all the recorded titles and Library information are deleted. Before formatting, be sure to write Library information to a DVD-RAM disc and check any titles to be deleted. DVD-RW discs can be emptied by initializing. DVD-R discs can be used on this recorder without initializing.
For details of initialization of DVD-RAM/RW discs, see
If an initialized DVD-RAM disc is still unusable, it may become usable by executing DVD-RAM physical format in the Management settings menu. For DVD-RAM physical format, see

Programmed recording and operational status
The recorder gives priority to programmed recordings in every operating mode. Even if the recorder is playing, recording or editing, or even in standby mode, at a starting time of a programmed recording the recorder will make itself ready or stop those operations and start the recording. However, Creating a DVD-Video ( DVD-Video finalizing process ( operations may have priority over programmed recordings.
When the programmed settings overlap
Before the first recording is completed, the second programme is scheduled to begin recording. When using a DVD-RAM disc, the recording of the previous programme stops 15 seconds before the next programme starts. (If you have been recording over 8 hours on the same drive, the current recording stops approximately 2 minutes before the next programme starts.) When using a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc, the recording of the previous programme stops about 2 minutes before the next programme starts, to complete data process. In this 2 minutes, you cannot operate the loaded DVD-R or DVD-RW disc.
On a programmed recording across the change­over of Daylight-saving time
When the clock gains across Daylight-saving time during a programmed recording, it means that the recording completion time is consequently set one­hour earlier. In this case, set the programmed recording one-hour longer in advance. If not set accordingly, the programmed recording stops one­hour shorter.
When the clock loses across Daylight-saving time during a programmed recording, it means that the recording completion time is consequently set one­hour later. In this case, as the programmed recording continues one-hour longer, delete unnecessary chapters by chapter dividing after the completion of recording.

Initializing a DVD-RAM/RW disc (Logical Format)
Be sure to read this section prior to using a DVD-RAM/RW disc on this recorder for the first time. For DVD-R, initializing is not necessary .
A disc should be initialized in the following cases: (The recorder may display a message to request you to do so.)
e.g.
When you use a DVD-RAM/RW disc on this recorder for the first time. If data fragments produced by repeated recording or erasing have accumulated. If a disc error has occurred. When you want to record on a DVD-RAM disc for PC.

DVD-RAM physical format
Physical formatting is a simple execution for a disc which cannot be used or read (or which is becoming hard to read). It may refresh such a disc for recording and playback. (There is no guarantee that all such discs will be recovered.) DVD-RAM logical format process only rewrites certain data on file system and management information, however, DVD-RAM physical format” rewrites all data on a disc, therefore it takes a much longer time to complete. For a 4.7GB single sided DVD-RAM, about 70 minutes will be necessary. While processing, all recorder operations and functions including program recording will not work until the process is finished. Also this process erases all data stored on the DVD-RAM disc.
Notes
The physical format process may fail if executed to a dirty DVD-RAM disc. Also, the disc may be difficult to record, even if it finished. Before executing DVD-RAM physical format process, be sure to confirm the disc is not dirty.
Function setup
Clean it if necessary. If the disc has scratches or dust beyond cleaner’s efficacy, do not execute DVD-RAM physical format process on the disc.
The following DVD-RAM discs require physical formatting:A disc which is not formatted correctly .The disc which has errors during writing because of dirt
on the disc, and cannot be further recorded, or cannot initialize normally.
You need to start physical formatting from the first step again when you use a failed disc.
Others
Physical formatting does not work if the disc contains a lot of voids beyond the limitation of this recorder.
If an error occurs in physical formatting, ERR-01 appears in the front panel display. To turn off the message, press the DISPLAY button on the remote control.
