Introduction
About this product
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/RW drive is installed. 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.
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.
Recording Restriction
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 can be copied or edited
only for personal use. 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.

Select a DVD-RAM disc that shows a statement on its package such as “this disc can be used with video
recorders and drives compatible with 4.7GB DVD-RAM discs” or “this disc can copy images that permit single
copying.”
Using different disc types for different purposes
Use 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 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 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 your PC, and
send them to your friends or relatives. The discs can be played on other DVD players. DVD-RW discs, which are
rewriteable can be used as well.
* This format is not suited for recording TV programs. 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
programs that include a scene with bilingual sounds, and programs that permit copying only once.
* This recorder records on a DVD-R/RW disc in DVD-Video format only. In DVD-VR format, recording is not possible.
We cannot guarantee that DVD-RAM/R/RW discs recorded on this recorder will be playable on all DVD players.
Similarly, there is no guarantee that all DVD-RAM/R/RW discs recorded on other recorders will be playable on this
player.

On DVD-RAM discs
To protect recorded contents
Slide the write-protect tab to
Use only DVD-RAM discs that comply with
DVD-RAM standard Version 2.0 or 2.1.
“PROTECT” with something sharp.
The disc can play, but cannot be
edited or erased. Refer to the
instructions that come with the disc.
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 DVD-
RAM 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.
PROTECT
• The resuming function (
page
56) 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
DVD-RAM discs with cartridges are
recommended for recording.
Two types of DVD-RAM discs are
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
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.
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 drive.
Some functions such as Library may not work with PC discs.

Each title, chapter, or track is assigned a number, which
is called “title number”, “chapter number”, or “track
number” respectively.
Some discs may not have these numbers.
When you record on a DVD-RAM/R/RW disc, one
recording will always equal one title.
If you cannot wipe off the dust with a soft cloth, wipe
the disc lightly with a slightly moistened soft cloth and
finish with a dry cloth.
Do not use any type of solvent such as thinner,
benzine, commercially available cleaners or antistatic
spray for vinyl LPs. It may damage the disc.
On storing discs
Do not store discs in a place subject to direct sunlight
or near heat sources.
Do not store discs in places subject to moisture and
dust such as a bathroom or near a humidifier.
Store discs vertically in a case. Stacking or placing
objects on discs outside of their case may cause
warping.

Before recording
Please be sure to read this critical background information prior to making a recording.
Conventional video cassette recorders have required tapes to record, while this recorder enables
recording on a DVD-RAM/R/RW disc whenever you want, without selecting an available tape and
confirming a point to start a recording from.
Further, if you use DVD-RAM discs, you can collect necessary scenes and store them in it to make
your own video library.
Is your DVD recorder ready?
Note
• This recorder records on a DVD-RAM disc if it complies
with DVD-RAM standard Version 2.0 or 2.1. However, you
may not record on some DVD-RAM discs that have
complicated contents (often, to protect the recorded data).
When you select a DVD-RAM discs that has already been
recorded, check that the disc is suitable for recording or the
remaining time of the disc is displayed. It is recommended
to use a new DVD-RAM disc for an important recording.
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.

When the programmed settings overlap
Before the first recording is completed, the second
program is scheduled to begin recording. When using
a DVD-RAM disc, the recording of the previous
program stops 15 seconds before the next program
starts.
When using a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc, the recording
of the previous program stops about 2 minutes before
the next program starts, to complete data process. In
this 2 minutes, you cannot operate the loaded DVD-R
or DVD-RW disc.

over 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 one-
hour earlier. In this case, set the programmed
recording one-hour longer in advance. If not set
accordingly, the programmed recording stops one-
hour shorter.
• When the clock loses across Daylight-saving time
during a programmed recording, it means that the
recording completion time is consequently set one-
hour later. In this case, as the programmed
recording continues one-hour longer, delete
unnecessary chapters by chapter dividing after the
completion of recording.
To check space remaining on a disc
1) Press the REMAIN button.
The current capacity is displayed at the bottom of
the screen and on the front panel display.
2) After checking the capacity, press the button
again to turn off the display.
Note
• You can also check the capacity of the disc by selecting
“Disc Budget Calculation” from the Quick Menu on the
REC MENU (
page 45).
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.
Notes
• The “Loading” icon appears in the top right of the screen after recording. This indicates that the unit is executing
the final recording process (writing managing information). Operations other than changing channels cannot be
done until this icon disappears. The time for executing this process differs depending on the recording time or
capacity of the disc.
• Note that all recording content may be deleted if the unit is disconnected from a wall outlet, or a power failure
occurs, during recording.
• If a power failure occurs within five minutes prior to the programed recording start time, the programmed recording
may not be executed.
• A programmed recording may not be executed correctly if scheduled when Daylight-Saving time starts or ends.

Notes
DVD-RAM Physical Format
• 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.
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.
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.
• You need to start physical formatting from the first step
again when you use a failed disc.
• Physical formatting does not work if the disc contains a lot
of void beyond 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.

– Load a disc which has sufficient remaining space to record the program.
– Make sure the loaded disc is not write-protected.
Notes
• The audio format of the recorder does not support DVD audio discs, etc. If equipment that can play DVD audio or other high
resolution discs is connected to this recorder, this unit records audio that is within the frequency range of regular audio CD’s.
Refer to the instructions of the connected equipment.
• When you record an external source onto a DVD-R/RW disc, set the connected equipment to output sound you want to
record (if selectable such as multiplex broadcasting), as the recorder records sounds of external source in stereo onto a
DVD-R/RW disc, neglecting the setting of “DVD Video Compatibility” (
page 130).
• DVD-R/RW discs cannot record contents with copy restriction signal embedded (copy-protected or copy onde contents),
DVD-RAM discs can record copy once contents.
• Some satellite programs via a connected tuner may contain both 4:3 pictures and 16:9 pictures. DVD-R/RW discs cannot
record such contents, under restriction of DVD-Video standard. To record them, use DVD-RAM discs.

Notes on recording from a connected VCR or camcorder
Check the condition of the source equipment before playing.
Set the equipment in good condition, e.g. clean the head or adjust the tracking, etc. to obtain optimum playback.
Bad condition may produce noises in playback. These noises may be detected as copy protection signals,
resulting in stop of recording on this recorder.
Play a source in usual mode. Avoid using any correcting or enhancing features, as they may add signals which
can be detected as copy protection signals.
Source quality or tape condition beyond adjustments on the source equipment may stop a recording on this
recorder.
Do not operate the source equipment during recording on this recorder.
Operations such as pausing, resuming, fast-forwarding (CUE) and fast-reversing (REVIEW), etc. may produce
noises, which may be detected as copy protection signals. Therefore, first start playback on the source equipment
to confirm that the desired source can be played properly, and then start recording on this recorder.
Do not operate the source equipment during recording. After completing the desired scene, stop the recording on
the recorder, and then stop the playback on the source equipment. Delete unnecessary scenes using editing
functions (
page 100). If you want to operate the source equipment during recording, pause or stop the
recording. After operating the source equipment, resume the recording as above.
When recording from a camcorder
Follow the above notes. Be sure to power the camcorder by its AC adapter, not batteries.

• When you do not have to preserve the recorded content longer.
Select “LP.” Inferior to “SP” in picture quality, but it can record longer.
• To record a high picture quality

Technical Information
About recording time
On a blank 4.7 GB DVD-RAM disc, the “Auto” mode
automatically sets the appropriate bit rate
The recording time of a typical VCR (Video Cassette
Recorder) is determined by the length of a video tape
and recording speed (SP, LP, etc.). Video tapes with
various recording times are available in the market.
On the other hand, the recording time of a DVD-RAM/
R/RW depends on the bit rate (Mbps: amount of data
transmitted per second), which can be varied in
MPEG2 (Moving Picture Experts Group2)
corresponded to the recording time from about 1 hour
to up to 2 and a half hours so that you can achieve the
best picture quality. If a part of a DVD-RAM disc has
already been recorded, the “Auto” mode sets the bit
rate suitable for the remaining space on the disc. (The
picture quality is determined referring the remaining
space just before recording. When the remaining
space is scarce in the disc, the picture quality may
decrease from what you set beforehand or the
recording may stop halfway.) “Auto” mode is available
also on DVD-R/RW recordings.
When you want to record a music program or
animation with high picture quality, it is recommended
that you select the “Manual” mode. If you select more
than 6 Mbps, you can usually record with considerably
higher picture quality. However the higher you set the
bit rate, the shorter the recording time.
compression technology.
As an example, when you pour water into a bucket
from a faucet, the more turn it on to make water flow,
the sooner the buck is filled with water. On the other
hand, the less you turn it on, the more slowly the
bucket is filled. The DVD-RAM/R/RW is, so to speak,
such a bucket, and the degree you turn the faucet is
bit rate, the time required to fill the bucket with water is
the recording time available for a disc. The higher you
set the bit rate (making much more water flow), the
sooner a disc is filled. Consequently, the recording
time becomes shorter. The lower you set the bit rate,
the longer time it takes to fill a disc.
D /M1,
D /M2
Sound recording format onto DVD-RAM discs. When
recording, sounds are converted into digital signals
and compressed. In playback, they are extracted to the
About picture quality (SP, LP, Auto, Manual mode)
original sound. The standard differenciates
and D /M2 in data volume to use. D /M1 and
D /M2 are applied the digital recording technology
for consumer products of Dolby Laboratories. Dolby
Digital 192 kbps is set for D /M1 and Dolby Digital
384 kbps for D /M2.
D /M1
The higher you set the bite rate, the more the volume
of information for the picture. The lower the bit rate, the
less the volume of picture information.
However a high bit rate does not always mean that the
picture quality is high. The difference between the 1.4
Mbps and 9.2 Mbps is obvious, but when comparing
similar bit rates, the difference may be insignificant.
Generally when you set the bit rate low for longer
recording time, the data volume shortage will result in
a lack of detail information. As a result, the picture
quality is decreased (more noticable with dynamically
moving images). For example, square noises (block
noise) may occur in a scene with fast action or a
scene with light and shadows, such as a water
surface.
L-PCM (Linear PCM)
Sound recording format, like Dolby Digital. However,
sounds are converted into digital signals and recorded
as they are without compression. This process
requires more data than Dolby Digital.
This recorder has a two settings, 2 hour recording at
“SP” mode or 4 hour recording at “LP” mode (both
assume a blank 4.7 GB DVD-RAM). It is
recommended to consider the “SP” mode as a
standard mode and use the “LP” mode when you want
to record for long time regardless of the picture quality.
If you want to record for about 2 hours or are uncertain
which one to select, select the “Auto” mode.

Editing
Before Editing
This section describes information for editing of contents recorded on a DVD-RAM disc. Be sure to read
before performing any editing.
Basic steps of editing
Creating chapters
➔
Programming a Playlist
➔
Dub (Copy) the Playlist (this will create an Original
title of the desired scenes)
Editing is executed by a title and a chapter. Titles and chapters are classified into “Original” and “Playlist.” First, specify
a desired scene by dividing a title (Original) into chapters. Then compile the necessary chapters (Original) in desired
order by programming a Playlist. Then dub (copy) the Playlist on the same disc. This creates a title (Original).
Refer to the following examples about “Playlist” and “Original.”
Example: Creating your own music compilation by collecting songs from music programs you record from Monday
to Friday.
You can create one title for one recording.
Favorite songs
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Title (Original) 1
(including one chapter (Original))
In the example above, five titles are created, as you recorded programs five times from Monday to Friday. The
content you recorded is called “Title (Original)”
All chapters in a title (Original) are chapters (Original).
Specify the range (a favorite song) you need in
each title (Original).
To specify the range, create a chapter. A segment of
a song becomes one chapter by creating divisions in
a chapter at the beginning and end of a song. In the
example to the right, three chapters (Original) are
created in one title (Original).

Compile chapters in a desired order.
You can select any chapter or order of chapters, as
you want. Also you can assign a title to multiple
chapters.
Title (Original) 1
(including three chapters (Original))
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3

Monday
Each element to be compiled is called a part. In the
example to the right, the three chapters in
Wednesday, Friday, and Monday are the parts.
When compiled, the source chapter (Original)
remains as it is in the title (Original).
Tuesday
Wednesday
1
A new part is not created copying the source chapter
(Original). It does not contain actual recorded content
but only exists as an informational sub-set of the
chapter name and the playback order (in the right
example, the chapter names are “Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday” and the playback order is
“Wednesday→Friday→Monday”).
Thursday
Friday
2
For actual playback, the contents of the source
chapter (Original) are played.
Chapter

Chapter
(Playlist) 3
(Playlist) 1
(Playlist) 2
You can create a part from the Original as many
times as you want and you can make different titles
with the same parts by changing the combination or
order.
Title (Playlist) 1
(including three chapters (Playlist))
For parts, you can use not only chapters like in the
example, but also titles (Original) and other Playlist.
When title (Playlist) 1 is played,
,

and
are played in order.

3
You can play the actual recorded content, such as titles (Original) and chapters (Original), or by managing the
Originals and parts, you can virtually create a variety of titles without increasing the use of disc space.
These virtual titles or chapters are called “Title (Playlist)” or “Chapter (Playlist)” respectively.
In order to differentiate titles (Playlist) from titles (Original), an Original is displayed on screen as “ORG” and a Playlist
is displayed as “PL”.

Notes
• A title (Playlist) or a chapter (Playlist) is based on a title (Original) or a chapter (Original). Therefore changing or deleting a
title (Original) or a chapter (Original) will affect the related title (Playlist) or chapter (Playlist).
• Some recorded content cannot be edited (for example, a title including still images).
• The boundary of the title with unnecessary part deleted and titles (Playlist) having different parts cannot be played back
seamlessly (without break).
Proceed to the practical operations.

Creating Chapters
A recording makes 1 title, which includes 1 chapter. By dividing it into several chapters, it will be easier
to access a desired scene, and your editing or playback will be much easier.
To create chapters in a title, insert a chapter mark. Use the frame advance and pause to locate a point where you want
to divide, then press the CHP DIVIDE button. You can insert a chapter mark also while recording, by pressing the
PAUSE button to pause the recording or by pressing the CHP DIVIDE button.
The point divides the chapter (into two). You can create multiple chapters by repeating the above operation.
Notes
• Chapters cannot be created in the following modes:
Dubbing / Fast-reverse, Fast-forward / Slow-motion
• You cannot divide a title of a DVD-R/RW disc into chapters. It is possible to create chapters in a DVD-R/RW disc by pressing
the CHP DIVIDE button during recording at the desired points, or by selecting an option that inserts chapter marks
automaticallly during recording at regular intervals. (
page 130)
If you want to modify the chapter division, or want to place a chapter mark more precisely monitoring the
frame counter, follow the procedures below.

DV Recording (Recording from a digital video camera) (Continued)
Notes
• Depending on the models of DV format digital video
cameras, recording may not work properly or some
functions may be disabled.
• On an input source from a DV tape which is partly recorded
over, “DV Chapter Create” may not work properly.
• The DV terminal of this recorder supports only input from a
DV format digital video camera. It cannot output to a
connected device. Some models of DV format digital video
cameras may be not compatible.
• At step 5, you can enlarge a thumbnail by selecting “Full
Display”, then pressing the ENTER button.
• If “DV Chapter Create” is set to “Off” and you record onto a
DVD-R/RW disc, chapters are automatically made
according to the “DVD-Video: CHP Create” setting
(
page 130). The number of chapters has the limit.
Chapters are divided with a margin of about 0.5 second or
less according to the DVD-Video standard.
• DV recording does not start in the following cases:
- While recording or in the time slip mode.
- While operating a REC MENU, CONTENT MENU or
LIBRARY MENU.
- If the recorder’s clock is not set yet.
- Within 5 minutes before a programmed recording starts, or
during a programmed recording is being executed.
• If a DV recording overlaps with a programmed recording,
the DV recording will stop 5 minutes before the
programmed recording starts, and the programmed
recording will be executed.
• DV recording does not work if the DV terminal is connected
equipment other than DV format digital video camera, such
as a PC.
• Depending on the connected DV format digital video
camera, the display at step 5 may not show “Manufacturer”
or “Equipment”.
• If the DV terminal is connected more than one DV format
digital video camera, DV recording may not work properly.
For proper functioning of DV recording, connect only one
device to the DV terminal.
• Keep the DV terminal not connected unless you record
from a DV format digital video camera, as it may give
influence on the recorder if operated.
• If you start a recording and do not operate for about 15
minutes, the display switches to the full mode, when
“Screen Protector” (
page 127) is set to “On.” Pressing
the ENTER button while “Detail Display” is selected can
restore the previous display.
• “DV Chapter Create” is not available when recording to a
DVD-RAM disc.
• To record stereo sound from the connected DV format
digital video camera, connect it to the INPUT 1 jacks using
compatible cables such as supplied audio/video cables.
• To record stereo sound from the connected DV format
digital video camera, connect it to the input jacks using
compatible cables such as supplied audio and video
cables. (
page 36)
• If a DV format digital video camera is not recognized, pull
out the plug and connect it again.
• Some models of DV format digital video cameras may
support a different compression format. From such
equipment, recording is not possible.
