Precautions for installation  
Useful features  
You can enjoy both DVD and VHS with the unit.  
Do not place the unit on  
amplifiers or equipment  
that may become hot.  
The heat can damage the unit.  
This DVD Recorder can record images and sounds in high quality to  
rapid random access capable DVD media. This has resulted in many  
new features that outperform older tape formats. The following  
information summarizes a few of these features.  
ª DVD  
Progressive output (l 14, 19)  
Before moving the unit, ensure the disc tray is empty.  
Failure to do so will risk severely damaging the disc and the  
unit.  
If you connect the unit with a progressive output compatible TV, you  
can enjoy higher-quality and less flickering images than conventional  
TVs (of the interlace output type) can present.  
Finalize (l 31)  
This function enables you to play recorded DVD-R, DVD-RW (DVD-  
Video format) and +R on other players.  
Cautions as to condensation  
Condensation can cause unreliable playback of VHS recordings.  
Condensation may form in the following cases,  
Instant play (l 33)  
The unit is brought from cold surroundings into a well-heated room.  
The unit is suddenly brought from cool surroundings, such as an  
air-conditioned room or car, to a place which is hot and humid.  
During the rainy season.  
This function can quickly find and play a video program you wish to  
watch. Direct Navigator guides you to the beginning of a previously  
recorded video program immediately.  
In any of the above-mentioned conditions, do not operate the unit for  
at least 2 hours. The unit is not equipped with a dew sensor.  
Quick view (l 20)  
This function allows you to watch news, information and other  
programs in a short time.  
Other precautions for installation  
The unit should not be installed or operated near large magnets or  
electromagnetic devices. Such devices can damage pre-recorded  
VHS recordings.  
Do not place any heavy objects atop the unit, and do not install it in  
a confined space. Please allow for adequate air circulation.  
The unit should not be mounted in a vertical position. It’s designed  
to operate in the horizontal position.  
Chasing play (l 26)  
There is no need to wait until recording is complete. Without stopping  
recording, you can play the video program currently being recorded  
from its beginning.  
Instant recording (l 24)  
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.  
About descriptions in these operating  
instructions  
Pages to be referred to are indicated as (l ±±).  
The explanations concerning discs are indicated by [DVD], and  
those concerning video are indicated by [VHS].  
Simultaneous recording and play (l 26)  
With this function, you can play a previously recorded video program  
while recording another program.  
Time slip (l 21, 26)  
This function enables you to jump to the scene you specify during  
play and also while recording.  
These operating instructions describe operations mainly using the  
remote control.  
The contents of the screens used in these instructions may not  
necessarily match what you will see on your screen.  
The displays shown in these instructions are examples. Actual  
display depends on discs.  
One touch transfer (dub) (l 55, 56)  
This function can copy video from VHS to DVD and vice versa.  
ª VHS  
Long recording (l 49)  
With this function, you can record approx. 10 hours of video onto a  
T-120 cassette, for example.

Video cassette care  
Poor quality or damaged video cassettes can cause the heads to become dirty and malfunction. Store your video cassettes carefully and  
discard them when they become dirty or damaged.  
Never use video cassettes on which juice has been spilled or those that are extremely damaged since this will not only cause the heads to  
become dirty, but will also make the unit malfunction.  
Maintenance  
Cleaning the video heads  
Dirt on the video heads can cause poor recording and play.  
If the picture does not improve, use an optional head-cleaning cassette (part number NV-TCL30PT). If the problem persists, seek advice from  
a qualified service person.

Glossary  
Bitstream  
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)  
This is a signal compressed and converted into digital form. It is  
converted back to a multi-channel audio signal, e.g., 5.1-channel, by  
a decoder.  
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 will  
be viewed on a widescreen TV (16:9 aspect ratio), so images often  
don’t fit regular TVs (4:3 aspect ratio). 2 styles of picture,  
“Pan & Scan” and “Letterbox”, deal with this problem.  
Decoder  
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This  
is called decoding.  
Pan & Scan:  
The sides are cut off so the picture fills the screen.  
Down-mixing  
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 TV’s  
speakers. Some discs prohibit down-mixing. If this is the case, this  
unit can only output the front two channels.  
Letterbox:  
Black bands appear at the top and bottom of the  
picture so the picture itself appears in an aspect ratio  
of 16:9.  
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 hear dialog clearly at low volume.  
Playback control (PBC)  
If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and  
information with menus displayed on the screen.  
(The unit is compatible with version 2.0 and 1.1.)  
Film and Video  
DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. The 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.  
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.  
Your TV must be compatible to enjoy progressive video.  
Video is 60 fields per second (2 fields making up 1 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 the 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.  
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.  
Formatting  
Formatting is the process of making media such as DVD-RAM  
recordable on recording equipment.  
You can format DVD-RAM and DVD-RW (only as DVD-Video format)  
on the unit.  
Formatting irrevocably erases all contents on the disc.  
Thumbnail  
This refers to a miniature representation of a picture used to display  
multiple pictures in the form of a list.  
Frame and field  
Frame refers to the single images that constitute the video you see  
on your TV. Each frame consists of 2 fields.  
Frame  
Field  
Field  
+
=
A frame still shows 2 fields, so there may be some blurring between  
them, but picture quality is generally better.  
A field still shows less picture information so it may be rougher, but  
there is no blurring.  
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)  
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.

The TV has both S-VIDEO IN  
terminal and COMPONENT VIDEO  
IN terminals. Which terminal should  
I connect with?  
We recommend the COMPONENT VIDEO IN terminal. Component signal outputs the  
color difference signals (PB/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve  
high fidelity in reproducing colors. If the TV is compatible with progressive output, a high  
quality picture can be output because the unit’s component video output terminal outputs  
a progressive output signal.  
Is my TV progressive output  
compatible?  
All Panasonic TVs that have 480p input terminals are compatible. Consult the  
manufacturer if you have another brand of TV.
