Useful features

This DVD Recorder records high quality images to rapid random access capable HDD (Hard disk drive) or DVD-RAM. This has resulted in many

new features that outperform older tape formats. The following information summarizes a few of these features.

TV Guide On Screen^TMsystem

Instant recording

The TV Guide On Screen^TMsystem provides a handy electronic

program guide (EPG) for checking what’s on. Setting up to record a

broadcast is easy too. Simply select the desired program from the

displayed list. You can also search for desired programs alphabetically

or by displaying only the programs in a certain category.

≥This service may not be available in some areas.

Instant play

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 TV GUIDE button is pressed while the

unit is off, the Electronic Program Guide (EPG) starts displaying in

less than 1 second, with the full EPG displaying in about 1.5

seconds.

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 program that was

recorded previously.

Time Slip

^§Only when recording to the HDD or DVD-RAM

HDD recording

You can keep on recording your favorite programs to an internal HDD

that is able to record up to 355 hours when using EP (8H) mode.

You can also high speed transfer (dub) your favorite programs 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.

During play, and also while recording, you can jump to the scene you

wish to view by specifying the skip time.

≥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.

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 power plug from the household AC outlet.

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 an 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

∫ Cigarette smoke, etc. causes malfunction or

≥Do not place in an enclosed area where 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.

breakdown

The unit may breakdown if cigarette smoke or bug spray/vapor, etc.

gets inside the unit.

∫ While operating

≥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 forms

on a cold surface when there is an extreme change in temperature.

Condensation may cause internal damage to the unit.

≥Do not move the unit or subject to vibration or impact. (The HDD

may become damaged.)

This unit

VCR

≥Do not remove the AC power plug from the household AC outlet, 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

≥Conditions where condensation may occur

Turn the unit off. (Wait until “BYE” disappears from the display.)

–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.

2 Remove the AC power plug from the household AC outlet.

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.)

–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.

∫ 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.)

∫

When “HDD SLP (SLEEP)” appears in the 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 begin 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

≥Do not expose the terminals of the card to water, garbage or other

strange things.

∫ How to hold a disc or card

≥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 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.

≥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.

∫ 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.

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.

Do not place the unit on

amplifiers or equipment

that may become hot.

The heat can damage the unit.

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.

Before moving the unit, ensure the disc tray is empty.

Failure to do so will risk severely damaging the disc and the

unit.

Glossary

Bitstream

Formatting

This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel)

Formatting is the process of making media such as DVD-RAM

before it is decoded into its various channels.

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 irrevocably

erases all contents.

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.

Frames and fields

Frames refer to the single images that constitute the video you see

on your television. Each frame consists of two fields.

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.

Frame

Field

≥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.

Down-mixing

HDD (Hard disk drive)

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.

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)

DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)

This is a system used for compressing/decoding color 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.

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.

LPCM (Linear PCM)

These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on

CDs. LPCM sound is available when recording in XP mode.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)

This surround system is used in many movie theaters. There is good

separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are

possible.

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.

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 dialog clearly.

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.

EPG (Electronic Program Guide)

This is a system used to display the television program 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 program

list for functions such as scheduled recording.

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.

Film and video

DVD-Video 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.

Film is 24 or 30 frames per second, with motion picture film generally

being 24 frames per second.

(This unit is compatible with version 2.0 and 1.1.)

Progressive/Interlace

NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (i) scan lines,

whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines.

This is called 480p.

Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution video

recorded on media such as DVD-Video.

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) and +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.

Your television must be compatible to enjoy progressive video.

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.

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 color still pictures, a

common format for storing high quality images on digital cameras

and other devices.
