Disc and card information

°1

You can record onto the second layer of dual- or double-layer discs after closing the first layer (l 62). You will no longer be able to record to
the first layer after you do this (l 9).
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 program is deleted when you use a one time recording disc.
°4 This unit can use the high-speed recording discs shown in the chart, but using them will not shorten the recording time.
°5 You can play 8x recording speed discs recorded on another equipment.
°6 Play on DVD-R DL compatible equipment.
°7 CPRM (l 76) compatible discs only
°8 The recording space may increase slightly when other titles are deleted.
≥The explanations concerning discs are indicated by [DVD], and those concerning video are indicated by [VHS].
≥We recommend using Panasonic discs. We 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.
≥You cannot record programs that allow “One time only recording” to CPRM compatible DVD-R, DVD-R DL and DVD-RW on this unit. You can
record other programs as DVD-Video format.
≥For the recording time, refer to “Recording modes and approximate recording times (DVD)” on page 26.

≥The producer of the disc can control how discs are played. So you may not always be able to control play as described in these operating
instructions. Read the disc’s instructions carefully.
Note about using a DualDisc
The digital audio content side of a DualDisc does not meet the technical specifications of the Compact Disc Digital Audio (CD-DA) format so play
may not be possible.
Regarding DVD-Audio
Some multi-channel DVD-Audio will prevent down-mixing (l 76) of all or part of their contents if this is the manufacturer’s intention. Tracks
that are prevented from being down-mixed will not play properly on this unit (e.g. audio is played from the front two channels only). Refer to the
disc’s jacket for more information.

Concerning logo marks
Dolby Digital (l 64)
This is a method of coding digital signals
developed by Dolby Laboratories. Not only stereo
(2 channel) audio, these signals can also be multichannel audio. A large amount of audio information
can be recorded on one disc by this method.

DTS Digital Surround (l 64)
This surround system is used in many movie
theaters around the world. The separation
between channels is good and the compression
ratio is low, so realistic sound effects are possible.

The manufacturer accepts no responsibility and offers no compensation for loss of recorded or edited material due to a problem with the
unit or recordable media, and accepts no responsibility and offers no compensation for any subsequent damage caused by such loss.
Examples of causes of such losses are
≥A disc recorded and edited with this unit is played in a DVD Recorder or computer disc drive manufactured by another company.
≥A disc used as described above and then played again in this unit.
≥A disc recorded and edited with a DVD Recorder or computer disc drive manufactured by another company is played in this unit.

Using DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW, +R, +R DL and +RW on this unit
Restrictions with DVD-R, etc.°
≥16:9 aspect programs are recorded in 4:3 aspect.
≥Either Main or SAP can be recorded for MTS broadcasts.
≥Playing the disc on other DVD players is not possible before finalizing.
° DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW, +R, +R DL and +RW are collectively referred to as “DVD-R, etc.” on this page.

Therefore, follow the steps below when you use DVD-R, etc.
∫ When recording an SAP program to DVD-R, etc.
Select the audio to record before recording or transferring (copying).
Some television programs are broadcast in SAP (Secondary Audio Program). You have to select the audio recording type before recording or
transferring (copying) them to DVD-R, etc.

∫ Playing the disc on other DVD players
The disc must be finalized after recording or transferring (Copying) (l 61).
It is necessary to finalize DVD-R, etc. on this unit after recording or transferring (copying) titles to them. You can then play them as a
commercially sold DVD-Video. However the discs become play-only and you can no longer record or transfer (copy).°
° You can record and transfer (copy) again if you format DVD-RW.

∫ Recording to a DVD-R DL and +R DL
DVD-R DL and +R DL discs have two layers of recording surface on one side.
It is not possible to record continuously from the first layer to the second layer. Recording stops when space on the first layer becomes full.
You must close the first layer to start recording on the second layer. Closing makes the first layer unavailable for recording (editing is still
available). You cannot cancel closing. Make certain before proceeding.

Glossary
Bitstream

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

This is a signal compressed and converted into digital form. It is
converted back to a multi-channel audio signal, e.g., 5.1-channel, by
a decoder.

HDMI is a next-generation digital interface for consumer electronic
products. Unlike conventional connections, it transmits
uncompressed digital video and audio signals on a single cable. This
unit supports high-definition video output (720p, 1080i) from HDMI
AV OUT terminals. To enjoy high-definition video a high definition
compatible television is required.

CPPM (Content Protection for Prerecorded Media)
A copy protection system used for DVD-Audio files. This unit
supports CPPM.

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.

Decoder
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This
is called decoding.

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 TV’s
speakers. Some discs prohibit down-mixing. If this is the case, this
unit can only output the front two channels.
Tracks that do not allow down-mixing will not play correctly on this
unit except when connecting with an HDMI cable to an amplifier that
meets HDMI Ver. 1.1 standards and is CPPM compatible.

DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
This is a system used for compressing/decoding color 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
benefit of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering
the degree of compression.

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 MP3s you have recorded onto CD-R and
CD-RW.

Pan & Scan/Letterbox
In general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention that they will
be viewed on a widescreen TV (16:9 aspect ratio), so images often
don’t fit regular TVs (4:3 aspect ratio). 2 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.

DPOF is the standard printing format for still picture data taken by a
digital camera, etc. It is used for automatic printing at a photo
developing store or on your home printer.

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 hear dialog clearly at low volume.

Film and Video

Playback control (PBC)

DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. The unit can
determine which type has been used, then uses the most suitable
method of progressive output.
≥Film is 24 or 30 frames per second, with motion picture film
generally being 24 frames per second.
≥Video is 60 fields per second (2 fields making up 1 frame).

If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and
information with menus displayed on the screen.
(The unit is compatible with version 2.0 and 1.1.)

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 and
+R DL on the unit. 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.

Folder
This is a place on the memory card where groups of data are stored
together. In the case of this unit, it refers to the place where still
pictures (JPEG, TIFF) are stored.

Formatting
Formatting is the process of making media such as DVD-RAM
recordable on recording equipment.
You can format DVD-RAM and DVD-RW (only as DVD-Video
format) or +RW and SD memory card on this unit.
Formatting irrevocably erases all contents.
Frame refers to the single images that constitute the video you see
on your TV. Each frame consists of 2 fields.
Frame

Field

=

Field

+

≥A frame still shows 2 fields, so there may be some blurring
between them, but picture quality is generally better.
≥A field still shows less picture information so it may be rougher, but
there is no blurring.

RQTV0141

NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (i) scan lines,
whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines.
This is called 480p.
Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution video
recorded on media such as DVD-Video.
Your TV 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.

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)

Frame and field

Progressive/Interlace

This is a system used for compressing/decoding color still pictures, a
common format for storing high quality images on digital cameras
and other devices.
