Dolby Digital (l 44)  
∫ To enjoy multi-channel surround sound on  
This is a method of coding digital signals developed  
by Dolby Laboratories. Not only stereo (2 channel)  
audio, these signals can also be 5.1-channel audio.  
A large amount of audio information can be  
recorded on one disc by this method.  
DVD-Video (digital connection)  
Connect an amplifier with a built-in decoder  
with these logo marks.  
≥Use an optical digital audio cable.  
≥Change the settings in “Digital Audio Output” (l 44).  
DTS Digital Surround (l 44)  
≥You cannot use DTS Digital Surround decoders not suited to DVD.  
≥Even if using this connection, output will be only 2 channels when  
playing DVD-Audio  
This surround system is used in many movie  
theatres around the world. The separation between  
channels is good and the compression ratio is low,  
so realistic sound effects are possible.  
DTS sound tracks are produced with the assumption  
that all channels will be used.

DVD-RAM  
DVD-R  
≥This unit is compatible with the Content Protection for Recordable  
Media (CPRM) system so you can record broadcasts that allow  
one copy, such as some CATV broadcasts, onto 4.7 GB/9.4 GB  
DVD-RAM (these are CPRM compatible). It is not possible to  
record onto DVD-R or 2.8 GB DVD-RAM.  
≥DVD-RAMs recorded on this unit cannot be played on incompatible  
players.  
≥We recommend using Panasonic’s DVD-RAM, which has  
confirmed compatibility with this unit.  
≥You can play DVD-R on compatible DVD players by finalizing it on  
this unit.  
≥The aspect ratio of the recorded images will be 4:3.  
≥DVD-R can be recorded only in either of these audio types (Main or  
SAP). Select the desired audio type in “Select MTS” (l 44).  
≥Some broadcasts carry signals that allow you to copy once, but you  
cannot record them with DVD-R. Use DVD-RAM to record these  
kinds of broadcast.  
≥Before finalizing, erasing titles will not increase the disc’s available  
time.  
≥After finalizing, these DVD-R can no longer be recorded on or  
edited.  
≥The aspect ratio of the recorded images will be the same as that of  
the originals.  
∫Protection of cartridge disc  
You can protect the contents of your discs.  
≥With the write-protect tab in the protect  
position, you cannot record to, edit, or erase  
from the disc.  
≥This unit may not be able to play back DVD-Rs other than  
Panasonic’s product depending on the recording condition. We  
recommend using Panasonic’s DVD-R, which has confirmed  
compatibility with this unit.

Cautions for using timer recording on  
DVD and VHS  
Timer recording for TV programs cannot be executed on both DVD  
and VHS at the same time.  
Make sure the timer recording start times do not overlap on both  
DVD (l left) and VHS (l 53) timer-programming screens.  
When the timer recording settings overlap:  
≥When the start time of both timer recordings is the same, the timer  
recording of DVD has priority.  
∫To stop recording while a program is working  
Press [∫, STOP], then [ENTER] within 5 seconds.  
≥You can also press and hold [∫] on the main unit for more than 3  
seconds to stop recording.  
≥When tuner channels are specified in timer recordings on both VHS  
and DVD, only one timer recording can be started.  
≥When the interval between the first timer recording and the second  
timer recording on DVD is 1 minute or less as shown below, the  
second timer recording on DVD has priority over the timer  
recording on VHS even if its start time is later than the timer  
recording on VHS.

Cautions for using timer recording on  
DVD and VHS  
Timer recording for TV programs cannot be executed on both DVD  
and VHS at the same time.  
Make sure the timer recording start times do not overlap on both  
DVD (l 29) and VHS (l left) timer-programming screens.  
If, at the beginning of a timer program, there is not enough tape  
remaining to complete the recording, the SP/EP function will  
automatically run the tape at EP speed. This ensures that the entire  
program will be recorded. If EP mode is not enough to stretch the  
remaining tape to fit the whole program you will not be able to record  
all of the TV program.  
When the timer recording settings overlap:  
≥When the start time of both timer recordings is the same, the timer  
recording of DVD has priority.  
≥When tuner channels are specified in timer recordings on both VHS  
and DVD, only one timer recording can be started.  
≥When the interval between the first timer recording and the second  
timer recording on DVD is 1 minute or less as shown below, the  
second timer recording on DVD has priority over the timer  
recording on VHS even if its start time is later than the timer  
recording on VHS.

Glossary  
Bitstream  
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)  
This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel)  
before it is decoded into its various channels.  
An audio compression method that compresses audio to  
approximately one tenth of its size without any considerable loss of  
audio quality. You can play MP3s you have recorded onto CD-R and  
CD-RW.  
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.  
Pan & Scan/Letterbox  
In general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention that they be  
viewed on a widescreen TV (16:9 aspect ratio), so images often  
don’t fit regular (4:3 aspect ratio) TVs. Two styles of picture,  
“Pan & Scan” and “Letterbox”, deal with this problem.  
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:  
The sides are cut off so the picture fills the screen.  
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.  
≥Film is 24 or 30 frames per second, with motion picture film  
generally being 24 frames per second.  
Letterbox:  
Black bands appear at the top and bottom of the  
picture so the picture itself appears in an aspect ratio  
of 16:9.  
≥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 on this unit.  
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.)  
Formatting  
Formatting is the process of making media such as DVD-RAM  
recordable on recording equipment.  
You can format DVD-RAM on this unit.  
Formatting irrevocably erases all recordings on the disc.  
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.  
Frame and field  
Frame refers to the single images that constitute the video you see  
on your TV. Each frame consists of two fields.  
Your TV must be compatible to enjoy progressive video.  
Frame  
Field

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.  
≥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.  
VBR (Variable Bitrate)  
This is a method of video recording that adjusts the bit rate according  
to video signal.  
Linear PCM (LPCM)  
These are uncompressed digital signals. CDs are recorded with 44.1  
kHz/16 bit PCM, while DVDs use PCM between 48 kHz/16 bit and 96  
kHz/24 bit, allowing playback with greater quality sound.  
The linear PCM signals output from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT  
OPTICAL terminal are stereo (2 channel).  
LPCM sound is available when recording in XP mode.  
Title/Chapter (DVD-Video)  
Track  
DVD-Video are divided into large sections (titles) and smaller  
sections (chapters). The numbers allocated to these sections are  
called title numbers and chapter numbers.  
This is the smallest division on CD and Video CD.
