eWe recommend using Panasonic discs as they have been con-
firmed 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 record-
ing surface may make it impossible to use the disc for recording.
• Discs with programs recorded in PAL already cannot be recorded
on using this unit.
I DVD*RAM I
DVD-RAM recorded on this unit may not be compatible with
other DVD players, including some Panasonic players. Con-
sult the manual for the player to determine compatibility with
these DVD.RAM discs.
• This unit is compatible with both non-cartridge and cartridge
DVD-RAM, but the write-protect tabs on cartridge4ype discs give
better protection to your recordings.
Picture aspect ratios, regular 4:3 or widescreen 16:9, are recorded
as they are received.
I DVD*R I
In order to play a DVD-R recorded using this unit on another
playback source, the disc must first be finalized (-)page 36).
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 man-
agement 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 impossi-
ble if optimizing is carried out too many times.
• Play may be impossible in some cases due the condition of the

Follow the precautions indicated below to prevent damage to
the internal HDD. (Not following precautions may result in a
loss of recording, stop of operation or recording of noise.)
During setup:
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.
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. Con-
densation may cause internal damage to the unit.
Conditions where condensation may occur
-During the rainy season in tropical and sub tropical areas.
-When there is high humidity or a lot of steam in the room.
-When there is an extreme change in temperature (moving
from a very hot location to a very cold location, or when an
extreme change in air conditioning or cooled air directly
impacts the unit.)
->In the above situation, with the power off, let the unit adjust to
the room temperature and wait 2-3 hours until condensation is
gone.
While operating
Do not remove the AC power plug from the AC outlet, or flip the
power breaker switch.
Do not move the unit or subject to vibration or impact.
_When moving the unit:
Q Turn the power switch off (Wait until "BYE" disappears from the
display)
@ Remove the AC power plug from the AC outlet
_) Wait 2 minutes before moving
While the unit is on, the HDD will be spinning at high speed and it is
normal to hear sounds. These sounds are not problems.
In the event of a power failure
if a powerfailure occurs, contents in the processof playback!record-
ing may be damaged.
u_
Safeguards against accidental loss
Data may be lost if the HDD suffersdamage. Any contents you wish
to keep permanently should be dubbed to DVD-RAM or DVD-R.
HDD recording time remaining I
This units records using a VBR (Variable bit recording) data com-
pression 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
programs to create enough space before you start recording. (Eras-
ing a playlist will not increase the amount of time.)
