Recording Restrictions Copy-protected contents of DVD-Video disc, VIDEO CDs or audio CDs on the market cannot be copied on this recorder. Contents without copy protection should be copied or edited only in accordance with applicable copyright laws, which may restrict copying or editing. Contents that permit single copying (copy once contents) can be recorded onto DVD-RAM discs, with some dubbing and editing restrictions. DVD-R/RW discs cannot record these contents. Editing Library Compatiblity In isolated cases, a disc bearing the DVD or CD logo may not fully and properly play back all features. This can be due, among other reasons, to problems and errors that can occur during the creation or recording of DVD and other software and the manufacture of software discs (including blank discs). Moreover, because of variations in the quality of discs, this recorder may not be able to record on all discs that bear a DVD-RAM, DVD-R or DVD-RW logo, but you should not encounter difficulty if you use only high quality recordable DVD discs. Function setup Others Like any HDD, the HDD in the DVD recorder is a fragile device that is susceptible to partial or complete failure if it is jarred or as a result of use over time. It will not last forever. Therefore, do not use the HDD for longer term storage of programs you wish to retain. [If portions of the HDD become damaged, programs recorded on those portions may exhibit pixelization or block noise when played back. Repeated playback of the program may cause the problem to get worse and, eventually, the program may become unplayable. Accordingly, if you notice such noise in a program that you want to save, you should transfer to a recordable DVD disc as soon as possible.] Recordable DVD discs are also susceptible to damage if not handled and stored carefully and some or all of the programs on them may become unplayable. You can reduce these risks by using high quality DVD recordable discs and checking their playability from time to time. If it becomes necessary to service your DVD recorder, it may be necessary to delete some or all of the programs on the HDD. This owner’s manual explains the basic instructions for this recorder. Some DVD video discs are produced in a manner that allows specific or limited operation during playback. As such, the recorder may not respond to all operating commands. This is not a defect in the recorder. Please refer to the notes on compatible discs later in this Introduction and to the discussion of DVD playback and features later in this manual. Playback About the hard disc drive (HDD) Playback Restrictions Recording This DVD recorder is more similar to a computer than it is to a standard DVD player. In addition to a microprocessor, it contains a hard disc drive (an HDD), an operating system, random access memory (RAM), and a DVD-RAM/R/RW drive. The operating system includes software stored on the HDD that is transferred to the RAM when the machine is turned on and at other times during operation. This transfer can take time. Thus, when you turn on the DVD recorder, it may be a minute or so before it is ready to use. Likewise, other functions may not be performed as quickly as they would on other AV equipment. In addition, because programs stored on the DVD-RAM/R/RW drive cannot be accessed as quickly as those stored on the HDD, accessing those programs (or deleting a program from a DVD-RAM or DVD-RW disc) may take more time. Please take these factors into consideration as you use the DVD recorder. Introduction Some differences 5 Introduction Compatible discs When you want to play DVD or CD software or copy programmes from the HDD to a recordable DVD, load an appropriate disc into the recorder. There are many types and formats of discs. Please use the following information to select an appropriate disc. Notes • Handle the disc according to the disc instruction manual. • Depending on the data recording method or the disc status, playback or recording on this recorder may not be possible, even if the disc is labeled as below.

Please see the discussion of compatibility on page 5. 7 Introduction Compatible discs (Continued) On DVD-RAM discs Use only DVD-RAM discs that comply with DVDRAM standard Version 2.0 or 2.1. The recorder cannot record on a disc formatted in any other standard. When using such a disc, initialize it by using the disc-format function of this recorder. The recorder may not record, dub, or edit some DVDRAM discs, because they are edited/recorded with another manufacture’s equipment or PC, contain a large number of titles, or have little remaining capacity. Also, a DVD-RAM disc may not be edited or recorded if its title contains still pictures. DVD-RAM discs formatted in UDF2.0 on a PC are not compatible with this recorder. Before using these discs, initialize them on this recorder. This recorder complies with current copyright protection technology and can copy a disc only when the disc permits copying once. When there is no indication on the disc, copying will not be allowed. Such an indication on a disc is required also for the Library Management database. DVD-RAM discs with cartridges are recommended for recording. To protect recorded contents Slide the write-protect tab to “PROTECT” with something small enough. The disc can play, but cannot be edited or erased. Refer to the instructions that come with the disc. PROTECT When using a disc without a cartridge (commercially available discs) Discs without cartridges can easily attract fingerprints and dust, which is the reason they are not recommended. If you cannot avoid using them, handle with proper care. When you write in a title column on a disc, use a pen with a soft tip. Do not use a pen with a hard tip, such as a ballpoint pen. Recommended discs The following discs have been tested with this recorder: 9.4 GB double-sided cartridge: Panasonic LM-AD240U 4.7 GB single-sided cartridge: Panasonic LM-AB120U Two types of DVD-RAM discs are available: ones with cartridges and ones without cartridges. You can use either of them with this recorder, but the former ones are recommended. In order to record highly detailed data, make sure the disc is clean. DVD-RAM discs with cartridges are easier to handle in this regard. Do not open the cartridge shutter. The disc may not play, or may not be recorded or edited once it becomes dirty. There are two types of DVD-RAM cartridges; removable (TYPE 2/4) and not removable (TYPE 1). It is recommended you do not remove the disc even when you can. Refer to the instruction manual that comes with the disc if it is absolutely necessary to remove the disc. Some commercially available cartridge discs cannot be recorded or edited once the inside discs are removed. The company does not hold any responsibility to compensate the contents which should have been recorded, and any losses or damages (e.g. losses of business profit, or business intermission) that may arise from malfunction of this recorder (not recording/editing as intended). Problems arising in the following situations are included. • When a DVD disc recorded on this recorder is used in a DVD recorder of another manufacturer, or used (insertion, playback, recording or editing) in a personal computer DVD drive. • When a DVD that has been used as above is used again in this recorder. • When a DVD disc recorded in a DVD recorder of another manufacturer, or in a personal computer DVD drive is used. Some functions such as Library may not work with PC discs. 8 Standards Marks on DVD video discs The following are examples of marks and the meanings.

A–B recording HDD DVD-RAM This function records one programme at the highest possible rate onto a double sided DVD-RAM disc (9.4GB) or 2 single sided DVD-RAM discs (4.7GB). You can record a long programme with a clearer picture on a DVD-RAM disc. The A–B recording function records the first half of the programme on the DVD-RAM disc and second half of the programme on the HDD. After the recording, copy the second half recorded on the HDD to the DVDRAM disc. You can create a DVD-RAM library that has each half of a programme recorded at the highest possible quality. Notes • For A–B recording, use a 12 cm DVD-RAM disc (4.7GB single sided or 9.4GB double sided) that is formatted on this unit just before recording. Do not use an 8-cm disc. Check that the total available space of the HDD is sufficient for the recording one DVD-RAM disc. • DVD-RW/R discs are not available on the A-B recording. 48 To use the A–B recording function page 40), set “Media” to “A–B”. “Mode” At step 3 ( is automatically set to “Auto”.

Chapter marks are automatically made at the start and end points of the overlapped recording portion, so you can delete the unnecessary overlapped portion afterwards. If no DVD-RAM disc is loaded, or the loaded disc contains recorded content, all of the recording is made entirely on the HDD. The recording will contain one title with a chapter mark at a dividing point. During A–B recording, the picture quality mode is set to “Auto” and the unit automatically calculates the picture rate from the disc capacity. Even if the picture rate is set to “Auto”, the picture quality of the A–B recording is lower than that of the recording on the HDD, because the unit adds 10 minutes of the overlapped portion to the recording time for capacity calculation. Therefore, the picture rate will remain when the unit cannot record onto a DVD-RAM disc and records on the HDD instead. After recording Copy the second half of the programme recorded on the HDD to the alternate side of the double sided DVD-RAM disc, or another single sided DVD-RAM page 106 for dubbing operations.

Editing As an example, if you create a Reservation Disc for a serial broadcast from 9 pm to 10 pm on Monday, then you can use that disc only for that program. When you attempt to make a reservation or record that serial, the recorder will ask you to insert that Reservation Disc. Playback If you schedule a date for programmed recording on the Reservation Disc, the recording information is automatically deleted after the programmed recording is completed. Recording Once a Reservation Disc is created, you cannot use other discs to record the same serial program. The Reservation Disc can be used only for recording a program reserved for the Reservation Disc.

About recording time Editing Library L-PCM (Linear PCM) Sound recording format, like Dolby Digital. However, sounds are converted into digital signals and recorded as they are without compression. This process requires more data than Dolby Digital. Function setup Others The higher you set the bite rate, the more the volume of information for the picture. The lower the bit rate, the less the volume of picture information. However a high bit rate does not always mean that the picture quality is high. The difference between the 1.4 Mbps and 9.2 Mbps is obvious, but when comparing similar bit rates, the difference may be insignificant. Generally when you set the bit rate low for longer recording time, the data volume shortage will result in a lack of detail information. As a result, the picture quality is decreased (more noticeable with dynamically moving images). For example, square noises (block noise) may occur in a scene with fast action or a scene with light and shadows, such as a water surface. This recorder has a two settings, 2 hour recording at “SP” mode or 4 hour recording at “LP” mode (both assume a blank 4.7 GB DVD-RAM). It is recommended to consider the “SP” mode as a standard mode and use the “LP” mode when you want to record for long time regardless of the picture quality. If you want to record for about 2 hours or are uncertain which one to select, select the “Auto” mode. D /M2 Playback About picture quality (SP, LP, Auto, MN(Manual) mode) D /M1, Sound recording format onto DVD-RAM discs. When recording, sounds are converted into digital signals and compressed. In playback, they are extracted to D/ the original sound. The standard differenciates D /M2 in data volume to use. D /M1 M1 and D /M2 are applied the digital recording and technology for consumer products of Dolby D/ Laboratories. Dolby Digital 192 kbps is set for D /M2. M1 and Dolby Digital 384 kbps for Recording The recording time of a typical VCR (Video Cassette Recorder) is determined by the length of a video tape and recording speed (SP, LP, etc.). Video tapes with various recording times are available in the market. On the other hand, the recording time of a DVD-RAM/ R/RW depends on the bit rate (Mbps: amount of data transmitted per second), which can be varied in MPEG2 (Moving Picture Experts Group2) compression technology. As an example, when you pour water into a bucket from a faucet, the faster the water flows, the sooner the bucket is filled with water. On the other hand, the slower the water flows, the more slowly the bucket is filled. The DVD-RAM/R/RW is, so to speak, such a bucket, and the degree you turn the faucet is bit rate, the time required to fill the bucket with water is the recording time available for a disc. The higher you set the bit rate (making much more water flow), the sooner a disc is filled. Consequently, the recording time becomes shorter. The lower you set the bit rate, the longer time it takes to fill a disc. On a blank 4.7 GB DVD-RAM disc, the “Auto” mode automatically sets the appropriate bit rate corresponded to the recording time from about 1 hour to up to 2 and a half hours so that you can achieve the best picture quality. If a part of a DVD-RAM disc has already been recorded, the “Auto” mode sets the bit rate suitable for the remaining space on the disc. (The picture quality is determined referring the remaining space just before recording. When the remaining space is scarce in the disc, the picture quality may decrease from what you set beforehand or the recording may stop halfway.) “Auto” mode is available also on DVD-R/RW recordings. When you want to record a music program or animation with high picture quality, it is recommended that you select the “MN” mode. If you select more than 6 Mbps, you can usually record with considerably higher picture quality. However the higher you set the bit rate, the shorter the recording time.

For better use the HDD of this recorder When you save necessary scenes from recorded contents, it may not be a good method to delete unnecessary portions from a recorded title in the HDD, then copy the remainder to a DVD-RAM disc. Repeating this method increases blank spaces in the HDD, on which contents will be recorded discontinuously (fragmentation in the HDD), resulting in slowdown of the system or incomplete deleting operation, in the worst case, the system may refuse any commands for play or recording, to protect the damaged HDD. To delete unnecessary scenes from a title to save, first make a Playlist (virtual title) by collecting necessary scenes, then copy the Playlist to change it into a new title, finally delete the original one. This method is more simple and can save your time and reduce possibility of such fragmentation troubles of the HDD. To avoid HDD fragmentations, it is also recommended that you execute periodically deletion of all titles in the HDD or initialization of the HDD. Before initializing the HDD, be sure to copy necessary contents to DVD-RAM discs, because page 140) data are also recorded in the HDD. If you do not want to initializing erases all data in the HDD. Library ( erase them, copy them into DVD-RAM discs before initializing the HDD.

Titles and chapters are classified into “Original” and “Playlist.” First, specify a desired scene by dividing a title (Original) into chapters. Then compile the necessary chapters (Original) in desired order by programming a Playlist. Then dub (copy) the Playlist on the same disc. This creates a title (Original). Refer to the following examples about “Playlist” and “Original.” Recording Basic steps of editing Example: Creating your own music compilation by collecting songs from music programmes you record from Monday to Friday. Editing You can create one title for one recording. Segment of songs Monday Tuesday Library Wednesday Thursday Friday Function setup Original title 1 (including one Original chapter) In the example above, five titles are created, as you recorded programmes five times from Monday to Friday. The content you recorded is called “Title (Original)” All chapters in a title (Original) are chapters (Original). Division of chapter Chapter 1 Others Specify the range (a favorite song) you need in each title (Original). To specify the range, create a chapter. A segment of a song becomes one chapter by creating divisions in a chapter at the beginning and end of a song. In the example to the right, three chapters (Original) are created in one title (Original). Division of chapter Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Monday Title (Original) 1 (including three chapters (Original)) 87 Editing Before editing (Continued) Compile chapters in a desired order. You can select any chapter or order of chapters, as you want. Also you can assign a title to multiple chapters. Title (Original) 1 (including three chapters (Original)) Chapter 1 Each element to be compiled is called a part. In the example to the right, the three chapters in Wednesday, Friday, and Monday are the parts. When compiled, the source chapter (Original) remains as it is in the title (Original). Chapter 2 3 Monday Tuesday Wednesday A new part is not created by copying the source chapter (Original). It does not contain actual recorded content but only exists as an informational sub-set of the chapter name and the playback order (in the right example, the chapter names are “Monday, Wednesday, and Friday” and the playback order is “Wednesday→Friday→Monday”). For actual playback, the contents of the source chapter (Original) are played. Basically, it is a list for the recorder to go and find the content. You can create a part from the Original as many times as you want and you can make different titles with the same parts by changing the combination or order. For parts, you can use not only chapters like in the example, but also titles (Original) and other Playlist. Chapter 3 1 Thursday Friday 2 Chapter (Playlist) 1 Chapter (Playlist) 2 Chapter (Playlist) 3 Title (Playlist) 1 (including three chapters (Playlist)) When title (Playlist) 1 is played, 1 , 2 and 3 are played in order. You can play the actual recorded content, such as titles (Original) and chapters (Original), or by managing the Originals and parts, you can virtually create a variety of titles without increasing the use of disc space. These virtual titles or chapters are called “Title (Playlist)” or “Chapter (Playlist)” respectively. In order to differentiate titles (Playlist) from titles (Original), an Original is displayed on screen as “ORG” and a Playlist is displayed as “PL”. 88 You are now converting the virtual file (playlist) into an actual file that will become a new Original file. Playlist Chapter (Playlist) 1 Chapter (Playlist) 2 Chapter (Playlist) 3 Recording If you just want to play the compiled chapters in desired order, you only play the Playlist. If you want to delete a title (Original) which contains unnecessary chapters, be sure to dub (copy) the Playlist and make it into a title (Original).

For the dubbing procedure, see “High speed Library dubbing” ( Editing Notes • A title (Playlist) or a chapter (Playlist) is based on a title (Original) or a chapter (Original). Therefore changing or deleting a title (Original) or a chapter (Original) will affect the related title (Playlist) or chapter (Playlist). • Some recorded content cannot be edited (for example, a title including still images). • The boundary of the title with unnecessary part deleted and titles (Playlist) having different parts cannot be played back seamlessly (without break). Function setup Others 89 Editing HDD DVD-RAM Creating chapters A recording makes 1 title, which includes 1 chapter. By dividing it into several chapters, it will be easier to access a desired scene, and your editing or playback will be much easier. To create chapters in a title, insert a chapter mark. Playback the content, locate a point where you want to divide, then press the CHP DIVIDE button. You can insert a chapter mark also while recording, by pressing the CHP DIVIDE button. (A chapter will also be placed in the recording when you pause.) The point divides the chapter (into two). You can create multiple chapters by repeating the above operation. Notes • Chapters cannot be created in the following modes: Dubbing / Fast-reverse, Fast-forward / Slow-motion • You cannot divide a title of a DVD-R/RW disc into chapters. It is possible to create chapters in a DVD-R/RW disc by pressing the CHP DIVIDE button during recording at the desired points, or by selecting an option that inserts chapter marks automatically during recording at regular intervals. ( page 162) If you want to modify the chapter division, or want to place a chapter mark more precisely monitoring the frame counter, follow the procedures below. 1 OPEN/CLOSE DVD MENU TOP MENU RETURN ANGLE SUBTITLE During stop, playback or recording, press CONTENT MENU.
