The outputs of 2, 3, 4, 7 and 8 are dedicated to modules of digital signal processing (DVD).  
The video and audio outputs of 5 and 6 are dedicated to modules of digital (DVD) or analogue (VHS) signal processing.  
Both groups of outputs are used for analogue and digital sources. But there are limitations, e.g.: During recording or scheduled recording on DVD, the VHS  
playback is only possible on outputs of 5 and 6.  
For a conventional tube television, we recommend using the Scart socket.  
You retain a high-quality RGB video picture with an RGB-compatible television.

Handling discs  
Only play round discs.  
If the surface of a disc, which has no Cartridge or was removed from one, is scratched, dirty,  
dusty or has finger prints, playback or processing can be impaired. Such impairments can  
also occur when the disc is placed back in the Cartridge.  
Do not touch the disc  
recording surface.  
Note: Only write on the label side of the disc. Use a soft, oil-based felt-tip pen. Do not use  
a ball-point pen or any other hard writing instrument. Do not affix stickers or labels to the  
disc. When not in use, put the disc in its case or Cartridge.  
RAM  
Cartridge discs  
With active write protection, you can  
neither record to the disc nor edit or  
delete content.  
Cleaning the DVD-RAM  
Clean the disc with a special DVD-RAM cleaner (optional) and read the cleaner  
instructions throughly before use. Bad scratches and stubborn dirt may not be able to be  
removed so that recording, editing or playback is still compromised even after cleaning.  
The disc should then no longer be used.  
Do not use benzine, alcohol, water, cleaning sprays, household cleaners or other solvents.  
DVD lens cleaner (RP-CL720E)  
Cartridge write protection  
Compatible models: Only for Panasonic's DVD recorders.  
Do NOT use this cleaner with any other Panasonic DVD products or with the DVD products of  
any other companies since doing so may damage the products.  
Remove the 8-cm disc from the  
cartridge before using it with this unit.
