Useful features  
This DVD Video recorder records high quality images to  
rapid random access capable HDD (Hard disk drive) and  
DVD-RAM. This has resulted in many new features that out  
perform older tape formats. The following information  
summarizes a few of these features.  
Chasing playback  
There is no need to wait until  
recording is complete. Without  
stopping recording, you can play the  
video currently being recorded from  
its beginning.  
Instant recording  
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. There is no  
need to worry about overwriting already recorded content.  
Simultaneous Recording  
and Playback  
While recording, you can play  
another video programme that was  
recorded previously.  
HDD recording  
You can keep on recording your favorite programmes to an  
internal HDD that is able to record up to 142 hours [EP (8  
Hour) mode].  
You can also high speed transfer (dub) your favorite  
programmes to DVD-RAM or DVD-R and create a backup  
disc.  
Time Slip  
During play and also while recording,  
you can jump to the scene you wish  
to view by specifying the skip time.  
Instant play  
There is no need to rewind or search forward. Direct  
Navigator guides you to the beginning of the recorded video  
immediately.

While the unit is on, the HDD is rotating at high speed. Sound or  
movement due to rotation is normal.  
When moving the unit  
HDD (Hard disk drive) handling care  
1 Turn the unit off. (Wait until “BYE” disappears from the  
display.)  
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 video content to a DVD disc as  
backup.  
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.)  
The HDD is a device that is not built to withstand  
HDD recording time remaining  
vibration/shock or dust  
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.  
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 the content  
during recording or play may be damaged.  
If the remaining amount time is insufficient, erase any unwanted  
titles to create enough space before you start recording. (Erasing a  
play list will not increase the amount of time.)  
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 viewing once, editing,  
or for saving to a DVD disc.  
When “HDD SLP (SLEEP)” appears in the  
display  
The HDD has automatically gone into SLEEP mode in order to  
extend the life of the HDD.  
Press [HDD] to activate.  
Immediately save (backup) all content as soon  
While in SLEEP mode play or recording may not begin right away  
because the HDD takes time to be re-activated.  
If there is no disc in the unit, the HDD will go into SLEEP mode  
after there has been no operation for 30 minutes or longer. When  
not using the unit, we recommend removing the disc.  
as you feel there may be problem with the HDD  
If there is an irregularity within the HDD, 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 become usable. As soon as you notice this type of  
problem, save all content to the DVD disc.  
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 the case any type of repair is made to  
the unit (including any other non-HDD related component).  
Recorded content (Data) on a HDD that has become unusable is  
unrecoverable.

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.  
RQT7664  
Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric  
shock.

CPRM compatible recorders and discs.  
LPCM (Linear PCM)  
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on  
CDs. LPCM sound is available when recording in XP mode.  
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.  
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 CD-R and  
CD-RW.  
Down-mixing  
Pan&Scan/Letterbox  
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.  
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.  
Pan & Scan: The sides are cut off so the picture  
fills the screen.  
Drive  
In the instance of this unit, this refers to the hard disk (HDD) and  
DVD. These perform the reading and writing of data.  
Letterbox: Black bands appear at the top and  
bottom of the picture so the picture  
itself appears in an aspect ratio of  
16:9.  
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.  
Playback control (PBC)  
If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and  
information with menus.  
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.  
(This unit is compatible with version 2.0 and 1.1.)  
Progressive/Interlace  
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.  
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.

n
Film and video  
r
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.  
e
f
R
For PAL  
Film is 25 frames per second.  
Video is 50 fields per second (two fields making up one frame).  
For NTSC  
Film is 24 or 30 frames per second, with motion picture film generally  
being 24 frames per second.  
Protection  
You can prevent accidental erasure by setting writing protection or  
erasure protection.  
Video is 60 fields per second (two fields making up one frame).  
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.  
Finalize  
A process that makes play of a recorded CD-R, CD-RW or DVD-R  
etc. possible on equipment that can play such media. You can  
finalize DVD-R on this unit.  
You cannot record onto or edit finalized discs.  
VBR (Variable bitrate)  
Formatting  
This is a method of video recording that adjusts the bit rate  
according to video signal.  
Formatting is the process of making media such as DVD-RAM  
recordable on recording equipment.  
You can format the HDD and DVD-RAM on this unit. Formatting  
erases irrevocably all recordings on the disc.  
Frames and fields  
Frames refer to the single images that constitute the video you see  
on your television. Each frame consists of two fields.  
u
r

A frame still shows two fields, so there may be some blurring, but

VPS (Video Programme System)/PDC (Programme Delivery Control)  
VPS or PDC is a very convenient system which records exactly from beginning to end of the TV programmes set in timer recording, even if the  
actual broadcasting time differs from the scheduled time due to delayed start or extension of the programme duration. Also, if a programme is  
interrupted, for example, some special news is inserted, the recording will be paused automatically and resumed when the programme continues.  
Depending on the signals sent from the TV stations, the VPS/PDC system may not work properly even when “VPS/PDC” has been set to “ON”.  
Please check with the broadcasters in your area for details.  
In the case of VPS/PDC recording, use the correct time (VPS/PDC time) for recording the TV programmes.  
Set “VPS/PDC” to “OFF” when the recording time is not the correct time (VPS/PDC time).  
VPS/PDC recording is not performed when the time (VPS/PDC time) is incorrect, even if only by one minute. To find out the correct time (VPS/  
PDC time), consult Teletext, a newspaper or magazine, or other source.  
If the actual broadcasting times of timer recordings overlap (regardless of whether they are VPS/PDC controlled), the recording that starts first  
always has priority, and the recording of the later programme will start only after the first timer recording has finished.  
When the VPS/PDC signal drops out because the broadcast signal is weak, or when a TV station does not transmit a regular VPS/PDC signal,  
the timer recording will be performed in the normal mode (without VPS/PDC) even if it was programmed for VPS/PDC.  
In this case, even if the timer recording is performed, whatever has been programmed will not be cancelled at that particular time but at 4 a.m.  
two days later.

Re  
The start times of scheduled programmes listed in the newspaper or magazine may be changed at a later date. Set “VPS/PDC” to “OFF” when  
programming a programme whose start time has been subsequently changed. Particular care must be taken in this respect with SHOWVIEW  
programming since “VPS/PDC” is automatically set to “ON” in some countries (below).  
If a programme listed in a newspaper or magazine has two SHOWVIEW numbers, use the SHOWVIEW number for VPS/PDC if you wish to proceed  
with VPS/PDC recording using SHOWVIEW programming.  
The default settings for “VPS/PDC” differ depending on the country concerned. Refer to the following table.
