The outputs of 3, 4, 5, 8 and 9 are dedicated to modules of digital signal processing (DVD).  
The video and audio outputs of 6 and 7 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 6 and 7.  
For a conventional tube television, we recommend using the Scart terminal. You retain a high-quality RGB video picture with an RGB-compatible television.

Hard disk  
The hard disk is only a temporary memory.  
HDD  
- -  
Hard disk drive (HDD)  
250 GB  
rewritable  
Your HDD (Hard disk drive) is a high-precision recording unit with a particularly long  
recording capacity and high recording speed.  
The recording is made in DVD Video Recording format (VR).  
24  
Films or parts of films can be edited and deleted. Deleting films releases previously  
used storage space. Creating playback lists does not take up any additional storage  
space.  
As well as the TIME SLIP function, dual-channel sound and 16:9 format are also  
supported.  
The hard disk automatically goes into the SLEEP mode if no function is selected for  
longer than 30 minutes and no disc is placed in the drive. An unexpected noise may  
be caused when switching on and off or during the SLEEP mode. The unit is working  
normally.  
Your hard disk is a short-term memory medium. You should not use it for permanent  
data storage of recordings. Use your hard disk to view, edit and save recordings on a  
disc. If you encounter any problems, save the entire contents of your hard disk on  
another medium (disc). Please take the unit to your customer service. Recordings on  
a damaged hard disk cannot be rescued.  
The unit must not be moved or exposed to vibrations or jolts because otherwise this  
would damage the hard disk.  
Do not disconnect the mains plug during recording or playback. This can cause data  
loss.  
Cigarette smoke, insect spray and other vapours must not penetrate the unit because  
otherwise this can cause faults.  
Do not place the unit on any appliance which gives off heat. Do not erect the unit in  
places where condensation occurs, for example  
- rooms with high humidity levels  
- in the direct air flow of an air-conditioning system  
- rooms with great fluctuations in temperature  
Condensation forms as moisture on a cold surface which is exposed to a sudden  
extreme change in temperature. This condensation can damage the hard disk and  
other parts inside the unit.  
In such cases, do not switch the unit on. Wait for approx. two to three hours for the  
moisture to evaporate.  
When changing the location of the unit,  
- switch the unit off. Wait until "BYE" goes off in the display.  
- disconnect the mains plug from the terminal.  
- do not lift the unit up until it has stopped completely (after  
approx. 2 minutes), because the hard disk runs on for a brief period after  
switching off.  
Panasonic does not assume any liability for direct or indirect problems resulting in  
the loss of recordings or edited contents (data) and does not guarantee that the  
recorded or edited contents will work perfectly. This also applies to any repairs to  
the unit (also refers to parts which are not linked to the hard disk). No  
compensation is made for lost recordings or discs which have become defective.

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.  
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.  
Do not touch the disc  
recording surface.

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)

If the video cassette is not in use, remove it from the unit and store it in its jacket.  
Avoid recording on the same tape section multiple times in order to avoid wearing  
out the video tape prematurely.  
Carefully insert the cassette into the video recorder to avoid damage.  
Do not expose the video cassette to high humidity, temperature or dust particles.  
Do not store the video cassette near magnetic waves, such as television sets.  
Do not use defective cassettes and do not try to repair them.  
Do not open the housing or the protective flap on the front side of the cassette and  
do not touch the tape.  
Use high-quality name-brand cassettes, such as those made by Panasonic.  
When playing cassettes recorded on another VHS-Recorder, there may be a slight  
decrease in picture quality.  
Write-protecting cassettes

DivX (Direct-Video-eXpress) is a format for saving compressed audio and video data  
and is developed by DivXNetworks. It is based on MPEG-4, but saves in a much  
more compact manner to approx. one-tenth the size of the uncompressed file format  
with satisfactory quality. Thus, the content of a DVD (approx. 8 GB) can be saved to  
a conventional CD-ROM (650 MB) in DivX format.

Information about high speed copying  
The High Speed Mode allows for fast copying of titles, pictures and playlists. In the  
setup mode, set the [Rec for High Speed Copy] to [On]. For copying to high speed  
compatible discs, press ENTER to confirm [DVD Speed for High Speed Copy].  
-R  
-RW(V) +R  
-R DL  
+R DL  
+RW  
But in the following cases, copying in High Speed Mode does not work:  
- the playback lists consist of titles with differing recording modes  
- the playback lists consist of several titles with the FR recording mode  
- the playback lists contain different audio modes  
- the titles contain many deleted segments  
- when copying titles with MPEG2 moving pictures from SD card to HDD  
+RW  
+R +R DL  
-
(displayed by  
titles recorded in FR and EP mode (min. 5 hours long)  
)
If you select a recording mode with higher quality than the original, this does not  
improve the picture quality. However, this does prevent the picture quality from  
deteriorating.  
Notes for copying to DVD-R DL/+R DL  
If the disc does not have sufficient storage space, the unit switches to the FR Mode.  
If the unit is not copying in the High Speed Mode, titles are copied in the original  
recording mode and playback lists in the FR Mode.  
If you are not copying in high speed mode,  
the titles are copied temporarily on the hard  
disk at normal speed and then to the DVD-R  
DL/+R DL at high speed.The temporary titles  
are then deleted from the hard disk again.  
Copying to DVD-R DL/+R DL is not possible if  
- there is not enough storage space on the  
hard disk.  
Timer-controlled recording takes place during copying always on HDD, regardless of  
which recording drive was selected.  
When recording titles limited for one-off copying, no playback list can be reproduced.  
Titles limited for one-off copying are deleted from the hard disk after copying onto  
CPRM-compatible DVD-RAM.  
Titles with recording limitations and playback lists cannot be transferred to the same  
copying list.  
- the number of titles on the hard disk and  
the number of titles copied to the  
DVD-R DL/+R DL together exceed 500.  
If you stop recording a title in the middle in the High Speed Mode, the corresponding  
title is not recorded. Even if the title was not copied to DVD-R, DVD-RW or +R, the  
remaining capacity of the disc is reduced.  
Recording and playback while copying in High Speed Mode  
RAM  
HDD  
Recording and playback is possible while copying in High Speed Mode but  
with the following exceptions:  
- delayed playback is not possible and the copy list cannot be edited  
- does not apply when copying with automatic finalization  
- does not apply when copying MPEG2 moving pictures to an SD card  
- no playback of freeze frames  
Copying in High Speed Mode  
Please wait.  
- no playback of playback lists when copying titles which only allow one-off recording.

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a digital interface for Audio and Video.  
One single cable transfers both digital video data (picture data) and also digital audio  
data. There is no longer any need to convert analogue-digital or digital-analogue. HDMI  
works without data compression so that there is therefore no quality loss from the  
system.
