recording space and begins recording right away. There is no
need to worry about overwriting already recorded content.

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.

Instant play
There is no need to rewind or search forward. Direct
Navigator guides you to the beginning of the recorded video
immediately.

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.

Simultaneous Recording
and Playback
While recording, you can play
another video programme that was
recorded previously.

Time Slip
During play and also while recording,
you can jump to the scene you wish
to view by specifying the skip time.

∫ 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 (➡page 44).
For progressive output (➡page 10)

∫ Connecting to a television with 21-pin Scart
terminal
You can also connect with the AV1 terminal on this unit using the
21-pin Scart cable.
If your television is equipped with RGB input capability, by
connecting with a fully wired 21-pin Scart cable you can see video
using RGB output on this unit.
To output in RGB select “RGB (without component)” from “AV1
Output” in the SETUP menu (➡page 39).
RGB 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.

∫ Connecting to a VCR with 21-pin Scart terminal
You can also connect with the AV2 terminal on this unit using the
21-pin Scart cable.
To input in RGB select “RGB (Not NTSC)” from “AV2 Input” in the
SETUP menu (➡ page 39).

§3 If your television is not equipped to handle PAL 525/60 signals
the picture will not be shown correctly.
≥When playing back a title recorded on the HDD, ensure that you
match the “TV System” setting to the title (➡page 41).

∫ Setup precautions
≥Do not place in an enclosed area so 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.
≥Do not place on anything that
generates heat like a video cassette
This unit
recorder etc.
≥Do not place in an area often subject to
VCR
temperature changes.
≥Place in an area where condensation 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.
≥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.

Getting started

7462L.book

≥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 (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 video content to a DVD disc as
backup.

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 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.

∫ 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.)

∫ The HDD is a device that is not built to withstand
vibration/shock or dust

∫ HDD recording time remaining

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.

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 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

∫ When “HDD SLP (SLEEP)” appears in the
display

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.

∫ Immediately save (backup) all content as soon
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.
Recorded content (Data) on a HDD that has become unusable is
unrecoverable.

The HDD has automatically gone into SLEEP mode in order to
extend the life of the HDD.
≥Press [HDD] to activate.
≥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.

∫ 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).

Glossary
Bitstream
This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel)
before it is decoded into its various channels.
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.
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.
Down-mixing
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.
Drive
In the instance of this unit, this refers to the hard disk (HDD) and
DVD. These perform the reading and writing of data.

Reference

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.
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.
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.
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.
Video is 60 fields per second (two fields making up one frame).
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.
Formatting
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
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.

HDD (Hard disk drive)
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.
LPCM (Linear PCM)
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on
CDs. LPCM sound is available when recording in XP mode.
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.
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.
Pan & Scan: The sides are cut off so the picture
fills the screen.

Letterbox: Black bands appear at the top and
bottom of the picture so the picture
itself appears in an aspect ratio of
16:9.
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.)
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.
Protection
You can prevent accidental erasure by setting writing protection or
erasure protection.
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.
VBR (Variable bitrate)
This is a method of video recording that adjusts the bit rate
according to video signal.
