Safety precautions

Foreign matter

Placement

Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can cause electric

shock or malfunction.

Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric shock or

malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the unit from the

power supply and contact your dealer.

Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain

flammable gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.

Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight, high

temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These

conditions can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby

shortening the unit’s service life.

Do not place heavy items on the unit.

Voltage

Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the unit

and cause a fire.

Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when

setting the unit up on a ship or other place where DC is used.

Service

Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is

interrupted, indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any other

problem that is not covered in these instructions occurs, disconnect

the AC mains lead and contact your dealer or an authorized service

centre. Electric shock or damage to the unit can occur if the unit is

repaired, disassembled or reconstructed by unqualified persons.

AC mains lead protection

Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not

damaged. Poor connection and lead damage can cause fire or

electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or place heavy items on the lead.

Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the AC

mains lead can cause electric shock.

Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the power

source if it is not to be used for a long time.

Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric

shock.

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 mains lead from the household mains

socket. 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

copying. It is recommended to save the recorded content on a disc or to keep the original data or CDs that they were copied from.

∫ 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 be usable. As soon as you notice this type of problem, copy all

content to disc and request service. Recorded content (data) on a HDD that has become unusable is unrecoverable.

≥When 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 move the unit or subject to vibration or impact. (The HDD

may become damaged.)

≥Do not place on anything that

DO NOT

generates heat like a video cassette

recorder, etc.

≥Do not remove the AC mains lead from the household mains

socket, 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.

≥Do not place in an area often subject to

temperature changes.

≥Place in an area where condensation

This unit

VCR

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.

∫ When moving the unit

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

2 Remove the AC mains lead from the household mains socket.

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.)

≥Conditions where condensation may occur

– 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.

– 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, delete any unwanted titles to create enough space before you start recording. (Deleting a playlist

will not increase the amount of time.)

∫ 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).

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

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 (not included) about once every year,

depending on frequency of use and the operating environment.

Carefully read the lens cleaner’s instructions before use.

Note

Do not obstruct the rear panel’s internal cooling fan.

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

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

unit.

DVD lens cleaner: RP-CL720E

≥This lens cleaner may not be for sale depending on the region.

The titles that were temporarily copied to the HDD are then deleted.

You cannot copy to DVD-R DL and +R DL in the following cases.

– When there is not enough free space on the HDD. (When copying to a new

blank disc, if you intend to fill a new disc when copying to it, the equivalent

of up to 4 hours of free space in SP mode is needed on the HDD.)

– When the number of titles recorded to the HDD and the number of titles to

be copied to the DVD-R DL and +R DL is greater than 499 in total.

(Depends on the remaining capacity.)

When a CD is inserted or recording from a CD begins, the unit will

automatically search for and obtain information about the inserted

CD.

The Gracenote^®Database comes pre-installed on this unit, so titles

and artist information can be obtained. Please note however that the

newest CD titles, etc. may not be registered yet to the internal

database. This unit has an internal database containing information

for approximately 350,000 album titles.

Glossary

Bitstream

Formatting

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

before it is decoded into its various channels.

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

recordable on recording equipment.

You can format DVD-RAM, DVD-RW (only as DVD-Video format),

+RW and the HDD or unused +R and +R DL on this unit.

Formatting permanently deletes 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.

Deep Colour

This unit incorporates HDMI^TM(V.1.3a with Deep Colour) technology

that can reproduce greater colour gradation (4096 steps) when

connected to a compatible TV. You can enjoy exceptionally rich,

natural-looking colours, with smooth, detailed gradation and minimal

colour banding. [A lower colour gradation (256 steps), without Deep

Colour, will be reproduced if connected to a TV which does not

support Deep Colour. The unit will automatically set appropriate

output to suit the connected TV.]

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.

HDD (Hard disk drive)

DivX

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.

DivX is a popular media technology created by DivX, Inc. DivX

media files contain highly compressed video with high visual quality

that maintains a relatively small file size.

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.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

Unlike conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed digital

video and audio signals on a single cable. This unit supports high-

definition video output [720p (750p), 1080i (1125i), 1080p (1125p)]

from HDMI AV OUT terminals. To enjoy high-definition video a high

definition compatible television is required.

Down-mixing

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

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 system used for compressing/decoding colour 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.

Drive

LPCM (Linear PCM)

These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on

CDs.

In the instance of this unit, this refers to the hard disk (HDD) and disc

(DVD). These perform the reading and writing of data.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

MPEG2 (Moving Picture Experts Group)

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

separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are

possible.

A standard for efficiently compressing and expanding colour video.

MPEG2 is a compression standard used for DVD and satellite based

digital broadcasting. This unit records programmes using MPEG2.

SD Video files shot with a Panasonic SD video camera, etc. can be

copied to the HDD or a DVD-RAM disc.

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 dialogue clearly.

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)

An audio compression method that compresses audio to

approximately one tenth of its size without any considerable loss of

audio quality.

Pan&Scan/Letterbox

Film and video

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.

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:

Recorded at 25 frames per second (PAL discs) or 24

frames per second (NTSC discs). (NTSC discs

recorded at 30 frames per second as well.)

Generally appropriate for motion picture films.

Recorded at 25 frames/50 fields per second. (PAL

discs) or 30 frames/60 fields per second (NTSC discs).

Generally appropriate for TV drama programmes or

animation.

Pan & Scan: The sides are cut off so the picture

fills the screen.

Video:

Letterbox:

Black bands appear at the top and

bottom of the picture so the picture

itself appears in an aspect ratio of

16:9.

Finalise

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

finalise DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW (DVD-Video format), +R, +R

DL 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.)

After finalising, the disc becomes play-only and you can no longer

record or edit. However, finalised DVD-RW can be formatted for

recording again.

Progressive/Interlace

The PAL video signal standard has 576 (or 625) interlaced (i) scan

lines, whereas progressive scanning, called 576p (or 625p), uses

twice the number of scan lines. For the NTSC standard, these are

called 480i (or 525i) and 480p (or 525p) respectively.

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

recorded on media such as DVD-Video.

Folder

This is a place on the hard disk or disc where groups of data are

stored together. In the case of this unit, it refers to the place where

still pictures (JPEG) and MPEG2 are stored.

Your television must be compatible to enjoy progressive video.

Panasonic televisions with 576 (625)/50i · 50p, 480 (525)/60i · 60p

input terminals are progressive compatible.
