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.

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.

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.

STEP 1

Connection

≥The equipment connections described are examples.

≥Before connection, turn off all equipment and read the appropriate operating instructions.

≥Peripheral equipment and optional cables sold separately unless otherwise indicated.

∫Examples of equipment you can connect to this unit’s terminals

∫Do not connect the unit through a video cassette recorder

Video signals fed through video cassette recorders will be affected by copyright

protection systems and the picture will not be shown correctly on the television.

≥When connecting to a television with a built in VCR, connect to the input terminals on

the television side, not the VCR side.

∫When the unit is not to be used for a long time

To save power, unplug it from the household mains socket. This

unit consumes a small amount of power, even when it is turned off

(approx. 3 W).

Getting started

∫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).

Getting started

When you use the discs recorded either PAL or NTSC, or playback a

title recorded on HDD using PAL or NTSC, refer to this table.

(Y: Possible, t: Impossible)

§1If you select “NTSC” in “TV System” (➡page 41), the picture may

be clearer.

§2Select “NTSC” in “TV System” (➡page 41).

§3If 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).

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 HDD is a device that is not built to withstand

vibration/shock or dust

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.

∫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.

∫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.

∫HDD recording time remaining

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.)

∫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.

≥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.

HDD (Hard disk drive) handling care

∫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

recorder etc.

≥Do not place in an area often subject to

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.

≥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.

∫Cigarette smoke etc. causes malfunction or

breakdown

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

1Turn the unit off. (Wait until “BYE” disappears from the

display.)

2Remove the AC mains lead from the household mains socket.

3Move 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.)

∫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).

Transfer (Dubbing)

Transferring (dubbing) titles or play lists

[HDD] [RAM] [DVD-R]

You can select from a variety of methods to transfer (dub) on this unit.

∫Transferring (dubbing) direction

Normal speed mode: Select XP, SP, LP, EP or FR as the recording mode for transferring (dubbing) (➡page 15).

∫Transferring (dubbing) mode

∫Transferring (dubbing) speed mode types and features

§If you select a recording mode with better picture quality than the original, the picture quality does not improve. (However it does prevent against

degradation of picture quality.)

∫Approximate transferring (dubbing) times (Max. speed)

[Note]

≥When recording or playing while transferring (dubbing), the unit may not use the maximum recording speed.

≥Depending on the condition of the disc, the unit may not transfer (dub) using the maximum speed.

Regarding high speed transfer (dubbing) to DVD-R

To high speed transfer (dub) titles (or play lists created from that

title), set “DVD-R Rec for High Speed mode” to “On” before

recording to the HDD (➡page 37).

However in the following cases, transferring (dubbing) to DVD-R

using the high speed mode does not work.

≥Play lists created from titles using a variety of recording modes

≥Play lists created from multiple titles using FR recording mode

≥Play lists mixed with a variety of audio types (Dolby Digital and

LPCM, etc.)

≥Titles that contain repeatedly erased segments

Regarding transferring (dubbing) of digital broadcasts that

allow “One time only recording”

You can transfer (dub) a recorded title to a CPRM (➡page 44)

compatible DVD-RAM, however the title is erased from the HDD.

≥You cannot use one touch transfer (dubbing). Use the transferring

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.

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.

≥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.

Troubleshooting guide

Before requesting service, make the following checks. If you are in doubt about some of the check points, or if the remedies indicated in the chart

do not solve the problem, consult your dealer for instructions.

The following do not indicate a problem with this unit:

Power Page

Displays

TV screen and video

≥Regular disc rotating sounds. The sound of the disc rotating may

become louder especially when finalizing a DVD-R.

≥Poor reception due to atmospheric conditions.

≥Image disturbance during search.

≥A sound is heard when the HDD goes into the SLEEP mode, or

operations are slow to respond in SLEEP mode.

No power. ≥Insert the AC mains lead securely into a known active AC mains socket. 7

The unit switches to the

standby mode.

≥One of the unit’s safety devices is activated. Press [Í/I] on the main unit to turn the unit on. —

The display is dim. ≥Change “FL Display” in the SETUP menu. 38

“0:00” is flashing on the unit’s

display.

≥Set the clock. 42

The time recorded on the disc

and the available time shown

do not add up.

The play time shown for MP3

does not agree with the actual

time.

≥Times shown may disagree with actual times.

≥More disc space than the actual recording time is used after recording or editing the DVD-R

200 times or more.

≥While searching, the elapsed time may not display correctly.

≥Even if you erase recorded content from the DVD-R, there is no increase in disc space.

—

—

—

—

Compared to the actual

recorded time, the remaining

time displayed is less.

(Only when recording in NTSC)

≥The displayed recording/play time is converted from the number of frames at 29.97 frames

(equal to 0.999 seconds) to one second. There will be a slight difference between the time

displayed and the actual elapsed time (e.g., actual one-hour elapsed time may display as

approximately 59 minutes 56 seconds). This does not affect the recording.

—

Television reception worsens

after connecting the unit.

≥This can occur because the signals are being divided between the unit and other

equipment. It can be solved by using a signal booster, available from audio-visual suppliers.

—

Status messages do not

appear.

≥Select “Automatic” in “On-Screen Messages” in the SETUP menu. 38

The grey background does not

appear.

≥Select “On” in “Grey Background” in the SETUP menu. 38

Picture does not appear

during timer recording.

≥Timer recordings work regardless whether the unit is on or off. To confirm the timer

recording is going to work properly, turn the unit on.

—

The 4:3 aspect ratio picture

expands left and right.

Screen size is wrong.

≥Use the television to change the aspect. If your television does not have that function, set

“Progressive” in the Picture menu to “OFF”.

≥Check the settings for “TV Aspect” in the SETUP menu.

There is a lot of after-image

when playing video.

≥Set “Playback NR” in the Picture menu to “OFF”. 25

When playing DVD-Video

using progressive output, one

part of the picture

momentarily appears to be

doubled up.

≥Set “Progressive” in the Picture menu to “OFF”. This problem is caused by the editing

method or material used on DVD-Video, but should be corrected if you use interlace output.

25

There is no apparent change

in picture quality when

adjusted with the Picture

menu in the on-screen menus.

≥The effect is less perceivable with some types of video. —

The images from this unit do

not appear on the television.

Picture is distorted.

≥Make sure that the television is connected to the VIDEO OUT terminal, S-VIDEO OUT

terminal or COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals on this unit.

≥Make sure that the television’s input setting (e.g., AV 1) is correct.

≥The television isn’t compatible with progressive signals. Press and hold [∫] and [TIME SLIP]

on the main unit at the same time for about 5 seconds. The setting will change to interlace.

Maintenance

The precision parts in this unit are readily affected by the

environment, especially temperature, humidity, and dust.

Cigarette smoke also can cause malfunction or breakdown.

To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.

≥Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit.

≥Before using chemically treated cloth, read the instructions that

came with the cloth carefully.

Observe the following points to ensure continued listening and

viewing pleasure.

Dust and dirt may adhere to the unit’s lens over time, making it

impossible to record or play discs.

Use the DVD-RAM/PD lens cleaner (LF-K123LCA1, where

available) about once every year, depending on frequency of use

and the operating environment. Read the lens cleaner’s instructions

carefully before use.

∫How to hold a disc

Do not touch the recorded surface.

∫If there is dirt or condensation on the disc

[RAM] [DVD-R]

≥Clean with an optional DVD-RAM/PD disc cleaner (LF-K200DCA1,

where available).

≥Do not use cleaners for CDs or cloths.

[DVD-A] [DVD-V] [VCD] [CD]

Wipe with a damp cloth and then

wipe dry.

∫Handling precautions

≥Do not attach labels or stickers to discs. (This may cause disc

warping and un-balanced rotation, rendering it unusable.)

≥Do not write on the label side with a ball-point pen or other writing

instrument.

≥Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzine, thinner, static

electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent.

≥Do not use scratch-proof protectors or covers.

≥Do not use the following discs:

–Discs with exposed adhesive from removed stickers or labels

(rented discs etc).

–Discs that are badly warped or cracked.

–Irregularly shaped discs, such

as heart shapes.

≥Do not place in the following

areas:

–In direct sunlight.

–In very dusty or humid areas.

–Near a heater.

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 place heavy items on the unit.

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.

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.

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

shock.

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 spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain

flammable gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.

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.

Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the power

source if it is not to be used for a long time.
