Safety precautions  
Placement  
Foreign matter  
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 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 place heavy items on the unit.  
Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain  
flammable gases which can ignite if sprayed into 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  
center. 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.  
RQT8320  
Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric  
shock.

• We recommend using Panasonic discs. We also recommend using DVD-RAM discs with cartridges to protect them from scratches and dirt.  
You may not be able to record depending on the condition of the discs and you may not be able to play due to the condition of the recording.  
• For the recording time, refer to Recording modes and approximate recording times” on page 17.

other programmes as DVD-Video format.  
1 You cannot continue a recording from the first layer to the second layer on dual- or double-layer discs. To record onto the second layer, you  
must first close the first layer using the “Close First Layer” item in DVD Management (Ô page 37). You will no longer be able to record to the  
first layer after you do this (Ô page 16).  
When playing a title recorded on both layers, video and audio may momentarily cut out when the unit is switching layers.  
2 You may not be able to use +R recorded on this unit in another Panasonic DVD recorder and vice versa. Once the disc is finalized, however,  
it can be played in the other unit.  
3 The amount of the recordable disc space doesn’t increase even if the programme is deleted when you use a one time recording disc.  
4 CPRM (Ô page 49) compatible discs only.  
5 This unit can use the high-speed recording discs shown in the chart, but using them will not shorten the recording time.

7 Play on DVD-R DL compatible equipment.  
8 Play on +R DL compatible equipment.

Recording modes and approximate recording times  
Depending on the content being recorded, the recording  
times may become shorter than indicated.  
Note  
• This unit uses variable bit rate (VBR) recording which  
varies the amount of data recorded to suit the images, so  
actual recording times and remaining recording times  
shown by the unit will be different. (The difference will be  
especially noticeable with DVD-R DL and +R DL.)  
Use a disc with plenty of remaining time to be sure.  
When recording to DVD-RAM using EP ( 8Hours ) mode,  
play may not be possible on DVD players that are compatible  
with DVD-RAM. In this case use EP ( 6Hours ) mode.

Glossary  
Frames and fields  
Frames refer to the single images that constitute the video you see  
on your television. Each frame consists of two fields.  
Bitstream  
This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel)  
before it is decoded into its various channels.  
Component video output  
Component signal outputs the colour difference signals (PB/PR) and  
luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high fidelity in  
reproducing colours. If the television is compatible with progressive  
output, a high quality picture can be output because this unit’s  
component video output terminal outputs a progressive output  
signal.  
+
=
Frame  
Field  
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.  
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.  
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)  
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  
feature of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering  
the degree of compression.  
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.  
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. You  
can play MP3 you have recorded onto DVD-R, CD-R and CD-RW.  
Down-mixing  
This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found on  
some discs into two channels for stereo output. 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.  
Pan & Scan/Letterbox  
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.  
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)  
This surround system is used in many movie theaters. There is good  
separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are  
possible.  
Pan & Scan: The sides are cut off so the picture  
fills the screen.  
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.  
Letterbox:  
Black bands appear at the top and  
bottom of the picture so the picture  
itself appears in an aspect ratio of  
16:9.  
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.  
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.)  
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.  
Video:  
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.  
Progressive/Interlace  
The PAL video signal standard has 625 (or 576) interlaced (i) scan  
lines, whereas progressive scanning, called 625p (or 576p), uses  
twice the number of scan lines. For the NTSC standard, these are  
called 525i (or 480i) and 525p (or 480p) respectively.  
Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution video  
recorded on media such as DVD-Video.  
Your television must be compatible to enjoy progressive video.  
Panasonic televisions with 625 (576)/50i · 50p, 525 (480)/60i · 60p  
input terminals are progressive compatible.  
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-R DL, DVD-RW (DVD-Video format), +R or +R DL on  
this unit.  
Protection  
You can prevent accidental deletion by setting writing protection or  
deletion protection.  
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.  
RGB  
This refers to the three primary colours of light, red (R), green (G),  
and blue (B) and also the method of producing video that uses them.  
By dividing the video signal into the three colours for transmission,  
noise is reduced for even higher quality images.  
Formatting  
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),  
+R, +R DL or +RW on this unit.  
Sampling frequency  
Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave  
(analogue 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.  
When you use a new DVD-RW, +R, +R DL or +RW, it must be  
formatted.  
Formatting deletes irrevocably all contents.  
Thumbnail  
This refers to a miniature representation of a picture used to display  
multiple pictures in the form of a list.  
TIFF (Tag Image File Format)  
This is a system used for compressing/decoding colour still pictures.  
A common format for storing high quality images on digital cameras  
and other devices.
