Important Notice  
If you copy motion video recorded in  
AVCHD format to a disc, do not insert  
this disc in the devices which do not  
support AVCHD format. In some cases  
the disc may get stuck in the device.  
The disc will not play back on the  
devices that do not support AVCHD  
format.  
You cannot record or play continuously  
from one side of the disc to the other  
when using a double sided disc. You will  
need to eject the disc and turn it over.  
Discs inserted in a holder, cartridge, or  
caddy case cannot be used. Always  
remove bare discs from these containers  
prior to use.  
It is recommended that you use  
Panasonic discs. Usually discs  
compatible with the DVD standard can  
be used for recording and playback with  
no problems. However, some  
commercially available discs do not meet  
the DVD standard for quality and  
performance. If you use one of these  
discs, you may not be able to record or  
play back normally.

LSQT1571 (ENG)  
Discs recorded on this unit may not  
be playable on other products. In  
such cases, play back the disc on this  
unit instead.  
How to hold a disc  
Do not touch the recorded surface.  
When using DVD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-R  
DL, +RW, +R or +R DL do not perform  
the following as it may make the disc  
unusable.  
Record on a disc with other products  
after recording on it with this unit.  
Record on a disc with this unit after  
recording on it with other products.  
Insert an un-finalized disc in any other  
products.  
When inserting/removing a disc  
Do not allow fingerprints or dirt to get on  
the recording/playback side of the disc.  
If there are scratches or dirt (e.g. dust or  
fingerprints) on the recording/playback  
side of the disc, normal recording/  
playback may not be possible and the  
following may occur:  
About DVD-R DL/+R DL  
Recording/playback is not possible.  
The image or the sound is interrupted  
or stops momentarily.  
Noise may appear on the image and/or  
the sound.  
DVD-R DL or +R DL discs have two layers  
of recording and playback surface on one  
side. If a scene does not fit on the first layer  
(L0), recording continues on the second  
layer (L1) so one scene is recorded across  
two layers. This unit automatically switches  
layers during disc playback so you can play  
the whole disc continuously like a normal  
disc. However, the image or the sound may  
momentarily stop at the point where the  
layers switch.  
If there is dirt on the disc  
Clean it with the commercially available  
disc cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from  
the center to the outer edge to remove  
the dirt. Do not use force when wiping  
the disc as it may scratch it. Also, do not  
use solvents (thinner, water, antistatic  
agent, detergent etc.).  
Examples of discs that cannot be  
used on this unit  
Discs other than those with a 12 cm (5z)  
diameter (You cannot use 8 cm (3z)

A strong impact can break the unit’s  
casing, causing it to malfunction.  
¬ Cautions for Use  
About this unit  
The unit and disc become warm after long  
operation, but this is not a malfunction.  
Keep the unit as far away as possible  
from electromagnetic equipment (such  
as microwave ovens, TVs, video games  
etc.).  
If you use the unit on top of or near a TV,  
the motion video/pictures and sound on  
the unit may be disrupted by  
electromagnetic wave radiation.  
Do not use the unit near cell phones  
because doing so may result in noise  
adversely affecting the motion video/  
pictures and sound.  
Recorded data may be damaged, or  
motion video/pictures may be distorted,  
by strong magnetic fields created by  
speakers or large motors.  
Electromagnetic wave radiation  
generated by microprocessors may  
adversely affect the unit, disturbing the  
motion video/pictures and sound.  
If this unit is adversely affected by  
electromagnetic equipment and stops  
functioning properly, disconnect the AC  
adaptor and then connect it again.  
In particular, do not place a Camcorder  
etc. on top of this unit during use. If this  
unit is subjected to vibration during disc  
reading or writing, the operation of the  
Camcorder may be affected or the  
Camcorder may fall.  
Do not use benzine, paint thinner or  
alcohol for cleaning the unit.  
Before cleaning, pull out the AC cable  
from the AC Jack.  
If you use a solvent, the casing may be  
discolored and the surface finish may  
peel off.  
Wipe the unit with a soft dry cloth to  
remove dust and fingerprints. To remove  
stubborn stains, thoroughly wring a cloth  
that has been soaked in a neutral  
detergent diluted with water and wipe the  
unit with it. Afterwards, wipe it with a dry  
cloth.  
Do not use a chemical dust cloth.  
When you are not going to use the unit  
for an extended time  
When storing the unit in a cupboard or  
cabinet, it is recommended that you put  
a desiccant (silica gel) in with it.  
Do not use the unit near radio  
transmitters or high-voltage lines.  
If you record near radio transmitters or  
high-voltage lines, the recorded motion  
video/pictures and sound may be  
adversely affected.  
About the AC adaptor  
Be sure to use the supplied AC adaptor.  
If you use the AC adaptor near a radio,  
radio reception may be disturbed. Keep  
the AC adaptor 1 m (3.3 feet) or more  
away from the radio.  
Make sure to use the supplied cords  
and cables.  
Do not extend the cords and the cables.  
When using the AC adaptor, it may  
generate whirring sounds. However, this  
is normal.  
After use, be sure to disconnect the AC  
adaptor. (If it is left connected, about  
0.3 W of current is consumed at most.)  
Always keep the electrodes of the AC  
adaptor clean.  
Do not spray insecticides or volatile  
chemicals onto the unit.  
If the unit is sprayed with such  
chemicals, its body may be marred and  
the surface finish may peel off.  
Do not leave rubber or plastic products in  
contact with the unit for a long time.
