listed below. Keep these operating instructions handy for future reference.

1) Read these instructions.

2) Keep these instructions.

3) Heed all warnings.

4) Follow all instructions.

5) Do not use this apparatus near water.

6) Clean only with dry cloth.

7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance

with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat

registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that

produce heat.

9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-

type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than

the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third

grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided

for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet,

consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched partic-

ularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where

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

has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate nor-

mally, or has been dropped.

This unit has an internal hard disk capable of recording and

playback (referred to hereon as HDD).

In order to prevent damage to the HDD or to hard disk con-

tents, the recording of noise or interruption of normal func-

tioning, you are advised to take the following precautions

when installing or using the unit:

≥Do not expose to vibration or rough treatment.

≥Do not place in an enclosed area so that the rear cooling fan

and the cooling vents on the side are covered up.

≥

Do not place in an area where the changes in temperature are

extreme. Sudden, extreme changes in temperature may cause con-

densation (

➜

below). Using the unit when there is condensation inside

will damage the HDD and may lead to breakdown. Use of the unit in

areas subject to temperature changes of more than 20 degrees an

hour is not recommended.

≥Do not place in areas with high humidity.

≥Do not place the unit in any orientation other than horizontal.

≥Do not disconnect the AC plug from the household AC outlet

while the unit is on, shut off the electricity supply to the area in

which the unit is installed or move the unit while it is on.

➜If moving the unit, first turn the power “OFF”§ and remove

the AC plug from the household AC outlet. Wait 2 minutes

before moving.

§ Press [Í, DVD POWER] and confirm that “BYE” disap-

pears from the display.

∫

Conditions contributing to the occurrence of condensation

In any of the cases listed below, allow the unit to adjust to the room tem-

perature by leaving it for approximately 2 hours with the power on.

≥When the room is steamy or the humidity is high

≥If there is a sudden change in temperature, for example:

➜

The unit is moved from a cold to a warm place or vice versa.

➜A heater is used to warm the area up quickly in winter or an

air conditioner is used to cool the area quickly in summer.

➜The air from an air conditioner flows directly onto the unit

(please take action to ensure this does not happen).

∫In the event of a power failure

If a power failure occurs, contents in the process of playback/

recording as well as already recorded, saved or dubbed HDD

contents may be damaged.

∫Safeguards against accidental loss

Data may be lost if the HDD suffers damage. Any contents you

wish to keep permanently should be dubbed or transferred to

DVD-RAM or DVD-R.

The HDD in this unit reserves a part of the storage space for use

as a system management area.

Before moving the unit, ensure the disc tray is empty.

Failure to do so will risk severely damaging the disc and the unit.

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 pro-

grams 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.

CAUTION:

Features

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 edit-

ing/recording of visual data from hard disk to DVD-RAM/R is easy-

to-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)

When timer recording to DVD-RAM or DVD-R, the unit will compare

the remaining space on the disc and the time necessary for record-

ing. 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).

∫Enjoy still pictures (JPEG) (

➜

pages 25 and 46–49)

≥It is possible to display still pictures (➜page 9) taken with a digital

camera either in a list or one by one.

≥It is possible to save still pictures from a PC card onto DVD-RAM

(also onto HDD).

≥You may alter the print settings (DPOF) for still pictures from a PC

card.

∫Watch a program while you are recording it

(➜page 21) [HDD] [RAM]

Chasing play

You can watch a program from the start while you are still recording it.

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 record-

ings 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 origi-

nal 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

≥This unit is compatible with the Content Protection for Recordable

Media (CPRM➜page 66) system so you can record broadcasts

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

recording.

≥Once a DVD-R is finalized, it becomes DVD-Video.

≥You can record onto the available space on the disc and perform

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.

≥Play may be impossible in some cases due the condition of the

recording.

≥The video is recorded in a 4:3 aspect irrespective of the video

signal input.

≥The producer of the material can control how DVD-Video and

Video CDs are played. This means that you may not be able to

control play of a disc with some operations described in these

operating instructions. Read the disc’s instructions carefully.

≥The remaining time displayed is based on the current recording

mode.

≥Scheduled timer recordings will be activated even if playback

or other recording is already taking place.

≥When recording more than one program in a row, for HDD and

DVD-RAM the first few seconds, and for DVD-R about the first

30 seconds of all programs from the second one onwards will

not be recorded.

≥Timer recording will not be activated if editing, dubbing or Plug-

in Auto Tuning (➜page 12) is being carried out.

≥If you set DST (Daylight Saving Time) to ON when manually

setting the clock (➜page 64), timer recording may not work

when summer switches to winter and vice versa.

≥When timer recording starts, the record lamp (➜page 7, Main

unit) lights, even if the unit is off.

Relief Recording

When the recording drive is set to “DVD” for timer recording, the

unit will automatically evaluate if the program will fit onto the disc

before beginning recording. If the program will not fit then the

recording drive will be altered to “HDD” automatically.

≥If the time remaining on the HDD is insufficient, as much of the

program as possible will be recorded onto the HDD.

≥If there is no disc in the tray or the disc cannot be recorded on,

the recording drive will be altered to HDD.

≥The recording mode will not be altered.

≥The Direct Navigator shows which programs were relief-

recorded (➜page 26).

Changing the remote control code

Most of the DVD recorders and players manufactured by Panasonic

use the same remote control system. If you have more than one

piece of equipment placed in proximity to each other, they may all

respond to the signal. If this occurs, you will have to alter the code

on the unit as well as on the remote control (the two must match)

using the following procedure.

≥Use “1”, the factory set code, under normal circumstances.

1Press [SET UP] to show the menus.

2Press [3, 4] to select “Set Up” and

press [1].

3Press [3, 4] to select “Remote Con-

trol Code” and press [ENTER].

4Press [3, 4] to select the code (1, 2,

or 3) and press [ENTER].

5While pressing [ENTER] on the

remote control, press the numbered

button ([1], [2] or [3]) corresponding

to the code you selected in step 4.

The remote control code on the remote control has been set.

6Press [SET UP]

If the unit doesn’t respond, you have entered the wrong code.

Repeat step 5 to enter the correct code.

[Note]

The following display appears on the unit’s display if its code and the

remote control’s code are different. Change the remote control’s

code to suit the unit. The display disappears after about 5 seconds.

Reference

RQT6570

Glossary

Bitstream

This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 chan-

nel) 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 Labo-

ratories. 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.

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 alloca-

tion 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 pic-

ture. 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.

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 read-

ing 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 COM-

PONENT 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 infor-

mation 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 “Letter-

box”, 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.
