they exit from the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold
with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms
or when unused for long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is
required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way,
such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been
spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus

Getting started
Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the applicable safety instructions
listed below. Keep these operating instructions handy for future reference.
In order to maximize the efficacy of recording using
this unit, a variable bit rate recording system is used.
This system may sometimes show the amount of
time remaining for recording as being more or less
than the amount of time remaining.
≥If the remaining time is insufficient, erase any unwanted programs to create enough space before starting recording.
≥When erasing programs, you should aim to create ample space
on the storage media for the intended program. This is
because the time available for recording may not increase in
exact proportion to the time represented by the programs you
erase.

Features
Getting started
This unit allows recording of high quality video on HDD
and DVD-RAM, the compact and durable digital media
with fast random access. This media also out performs
past tape formats in ease of operation.
∫ Maximum 52 hours on HDD (Hard Disk Drive) (➜page 19)
This model is installed with a high capacity 40 GB hard disk capable
of recording a maximum of 52 hours (6 hours continuously). The
same functions are available with HDD as with DVD-RAM and editing/recording of visual data from hard disk to DVD-RAM/R is easyto-perform.
∫ DV Automatic Recording (➜page 31)
Simply connect a digital video camera using a single cable and you
can organize your DV tapes into play lists on the HDD or DVD-RAM.
(You cannot connect a personal computer to the unit.)
∫ Auto Renewal Recording (➜page 36)
If you record a program onto HDD repeatedly everyday or every
week using timer recording, the unit will record the new program
over the old one.
∫ Relief Recording (➜page 35)
∫ Maximum 12 hours on DVD-RAM
≥Using a double sided, 9.4 GB DVD-RAM allows you to record a
maximum of 12 hours (6 hours continuously).
≥When using a 4.7 GB DVD-RAM or a DVD-R, you can get 1 hour
recording using the XP high picture quality mode, 2 hours with the
regular SP mode, 4 hours with the long LP mode, and 6 hours with
the extra long EP mode.
≥You can also use the FR (Flexible Recording) mode to fit recordings efficiently onto the available space on the disc (➜page 19).
∫ Make your own DVD-Video
≥Finalizing a DVD-R that has been recorded on produces an original DVD-Video in accordance with DVD-Video standards
(➜page 8).
≥In addition to DVD-Video movie software, this unit can also play
other types of discs including audio CDs and Video CDs. This
means that this unit has the potential to play a central role in your
home entertainment, from high-end home theater through to CD
playback.
∫ Exceptional sound and picture quality when
recording
When timer recording to DVD-RAM or DVD-R, the unit will compare
the remaining space on the disc and the time necessary for recording. If space is insufficient the unit will record the program to HDD
instead (there is no relief recording function the other way, i.e. from
HDD to DVD-RAM or DVD-R).
≥Audio is recorded using Dolby Digital stereo, enabling high quality
sound recordings. When recording in XP mode it is possible to use
LPCM (2 channel) to achieve sound recordings of even higher
quality.
≥The encoder system used for recording is called “Hybrid VBR” and
allows high quality recordings.
∫ Enjoy still pictures (JPEG) (➜pages 25 and 46–49)

that allow one copy, such as some CATV broadcasts, onto 4.7 GB/
9.4 GB DVD-RAM (these are CPRM compatible). It is not possible
to record onto DVD-R or 2.8-GB DVD-RAM.
≥We recommend using Panasonic discs as they have been
confirmed to be compatible with this unit. Other discs may not
perform correctly.
≥Do not allow the disc to become dirty or scratched. Fingerprints,
dirt, dust, scratches or deposits of cigarette smoke on the
recording surface may make it impossible to use the disc for

editing functions, such as giving titles to discs and programs and
erasing programs before finalizing.
≥When programming is erased from a DVD-R, that space does not
become available. Once an area on a DVD-R is recorded on, that
area is no longer available for recording, whether the recording is
erased or not.
≥It takes about 30 seconds for the unit to complete recording
management information after recording finishes.
≥This unit optimizes the DVD-R for each recording. Optimizing is
carried out when you start recording after inserting the disc or
turning on the unit. Recording onto the disc may become
impossible if optimizing is carried out too many times.

≥Stopping dubbing in High Speed mode partway through will cancel

Dubbing
[Note]
≥The contents of dubbing lists will remain in the memory even after
the power has been turned off. In the case of the DVD drive, the
contents are erased if [<] is pressed. However, note that if programs and play lists are erased, all the dubbing lists will also be
erased.
≥It is not possible to activate timer recording during dubbing.
≥Even if you select a higher picture quality recording mode than
that of the dubbing source, it will not be possible to obtain picture
quality better than the dubbing source (although selection may be
effective in combating loss in picture quality during recording).
≥When dubbing a program, playlists made from that program will
not be dubbed.
≥The program settings (protect, etc) are reproduced in the dubbed
material. (If you select a recording mode other than “High Speed”,
markers are not reproduced).
≥Still pictures in programs and play lists (displayed with an
in
the Dubbing select screen) cannot be dubbed. [RAM]
≥This function works while either the program list or play list screen
is being displayed.
≥Usually, dubbing takes place using “High Speed” mode for DVDRAM or the recording mode of the dubbing source for DVD-R.
However, with the following exceptions the recording mode is
changed automatically to “FR”:
— when the program will not fit onto the disc if recorded using the
recording mode of the dubbing source.
— when dubbing play lists.
≥It is not possible to activate timer recording during dubbing.
≥Programs with recording limitations (including play lists made from
those programs) cannot be dubbed.
You cannot record on DVD-R.
§ Can be dubbed to HDD but cannot be played back.
≥If a program with recording limitations is dubbed from HDD to
DVD-RAM, the program is transferred (i.e. it is moved to another
storage media). The original program (including play list scenes
made from that program) are erased. When a program with
recording limitations enters a dubbing list, “
” (Transfer) is
displayed and a message screen is displayed when dubbing.
≥Programs with recording limitations and play lists cannot be registered on the same dubbing list.
≥Play lists made from programs with recording limitations cannot be
dubbed.

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 the copyright protection technology that is used to protect
broadcasts that are allowed to be recorded only once (e.g. some
CATV broadcasts).
Decoder
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal.
This is called decoding.
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.
This unit is set to record using Dolby Digital in all recording modes
except for XP mode, where you may choose Dolby Digital or LPCM.
Dolby Pro Logic
A surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as 2
channels and then is restored to 4 channels for play. The surround
channel is monaural and can reproduce up to 7 kHz.
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)
DPOF is the standard printing format for still picture data. It is used
at a photo studio to print out the still picture data taken with a digital
camera etc. or when you print out using a domestic printer.
Reference
Drive
In the instance of this unit, this refers to the hard disk (HDD) and
DVD. These perform the reading and writing of data. Select them by
pressing the drive select buttons ([HDD] or [DVD]).
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the
world. 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.
Film and video
DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. Usually, film is
recorded at 24 frames per second, the rate movies are filmed at,
while video is recorded at 30 frames per second.
FAT (File Allocation Table)
The FAT12 (12-bit file allocation table) and FAT16 (16-bit file allocation table) systems this unit is compatible with are file systems used
widely in computers around the world.
Frame still and field still
Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture. There are about 30 frames shown each second.
One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these
fields one after the other to create frames.
A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is
made up of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred,
but overall quality is high.
A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a
frame still so picture quality is lower.
66
RQT6570
Hard disk drive (HDD)
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.
Interlace and progressive output
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. The video signals output from this unit’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals (Y, PB, PR) allow you to enjoy
higher quality pictures than if the signals were output from the
VIDEO OUT terminal or S-VIDEO OUT terminal.
I/P/B
MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with
DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.
I: Intra coded picture
This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when
adjusting the picture.
P: Predictive coded picture
This picture is calculated based on past I- or P-pictures.
B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture
This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I- and
P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.
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
special quality of this standard is that there is little deterioration in
picture quality in comparison to the degree of compression.
Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)
These are uncompressed digital signals. This unit outputs linear
PCM sound in 2 channels from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal.
LPCM sound is available when recording in XP mode.
Playback control (PBC)
If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and information with menus.
Pan&Scan/Letterbox
In general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention that they be
viewed on a widescreen television with an aspect ratio of 16:9. This
means you can view most material with the intended aspect ratio on
a widescreen television.
Material with this ratio will not fit onto a standard television with an
aspect ratio of 4:3. 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.
