Disc information

≥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.

≥This unit is compatible with the Content Protection for

Recordable Media (CPRM ➡ page 66) system so you can record

broadcasts that allow one copy 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.

≥This unit cannot record PAL signals to discs containing NTSC

signals or vice versa.

≥This unit cannot record to discs containing both PAL and NTSC

signals. Play of discs recorded with both PAL and NTSC on

another unit is not guaranteed.

∫ DVD-RAM

≥DVD-RAM recorded on this unit may not be compatible with

other DVD players, including some Panasonic players.

Consult 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 cartridge-type discs give

better protection to your recordings.

≥Picture aspect ratios, regular 4:3 or widescreen 16:9, are recorded

as they are received.

∫ DVD-R

≥In order to play a DVD-R recorded using this unit on another

playback source, the disc must first be finalized (➡page 47).

≥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 programmes

and erasing programmes 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.

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

signal input.

≥Play may not be possible in some cases due the condition of the

recording.

≥A DVD-R recorded on this unit may not be recordable on other

Panasonic DVD recorders.

≥You cannot record or edit DVD-R with this unit if it was recorded

with another unit, whether it is finalized or not.

∫ Protection [RAM]

You can protect the contents of your discs in the following ways.

≥Cartridge-protect:

With the write-protect tab in the protect

position, you cannot record to, edit, or erase

from the disc. (Type 1, 2, and 4 cartridge

discs)

≥Programme-protect (➡ page 44)

≥Disc-protect (➡page 46)

≥This unit can play CD-R/CD-RW (audio recording disc) recorded

with CD-DA (digital audio), video CD or MP3. Close the sessions

or finalize the disc after recording.

Play may be impossible on some CD-R or CD-RW discs due to the

condition of the recording.

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

Video CDs are played. So you may not always be able to control

play as described in these operating instructions. Read the disc’s

instructions carefully.

∫ Discs that cannot be played

≥DVD-Video with a region number other than “2” or “ALL”

≥2.6- and 5.2-GB DVD-RAM

≥DVD-RAM not recorded following the Video Recording Standard

≥3.95- and 4.7-GB DVD-R for Authoring

≥Unfinalized DVD-R recorded on other equipment

≥DVD-ROM ≥DVD-RW ≥iRW ≥CD-ROM

≥CDV ≥CD-G ≥Photo CD ≥CVD

≥SVCD ≥SACD ≥MV-Disc ≥PD

≥Divx Video Disc, etc.

≥Play of non-standard Video CDs and Super Video CDs is not

guaranteed.

Recording video signal by “Sky Personal

Planner” and “External Link 1” Functions

To record programmes from satellite receiver using “Sky Personal

Planner” function together with the “External Link1” function of this unit:

≥Make connections as shown below.

≥Change the AV1/AV2 settings in Connection menu as follows (➜ page 53).

–“AV2 Input” set to “Video”

–“AV2 Connection” set to “Ext Link 1”

–“

AV1 Output” set to “RGB”, “S-Video” or “Video” to suit the AV

terminal of your television.

≥Set up Personal Planner programmes as required.

≥Press [EXT. LINK] on this unit.

“External Link1” function can only be

used with the “Sky Personal Planner”

function for timer recording of video

signal from the “VCR Scart” terminal of

the Sky Digital Set Top Box.

∫

Recording RGB Signals

Most satellite receivers are capable of outputting RGB signals for

viewing on television through a scart terminal (called “TV Scart” on a

Sky Digital STB).

In the case of a Sky Digital STB, recording of RGB signals from the “TV

Scart” terminals is possible, but the “Sky Personal Planner” function for timer

recording cannot be used in conjunction with the “External Link1”

function of this unit.

To record programmes by RGB signals:

≥Make connections as shown below.

≥Set your Sky Digital STB to output “RGB” signals.

≥Change the settings in the SETUP menu as follows (➜ page 53).

–“AV2 Input” set to “RGB” (PAL only)

–“AV2 Connection” set to “NORMAL”

–“AV1 Output” set to “RGB”, “S-Video” or “Video” to suit the AV

terminal of your television.

≥Set up Personal Planner programmes as required.

≥Follow the steps for setting up timer programming.

After setting Personal Planner

programmes as required, Sky Digital

STB must be left on (not set to

standby) to ensure continuous output

of RGB signals.

It is not possible to use the “External

Link 1” function of this unit for timer

recording of RGB signals from the Sky

Digital STB.

The conventional video sockets of this unit’s output (input) a combination of the luminance signal (Y) and colour signal (C) which are recorded

on the disc. The S (Separate)-VIDEO socket allows separate transmission of signals in order to obtain clearer pictures.

The connection with S-Video cable can also be used for playback of any disc. The “S” in the “S-VIDEO socket” stands for “SEPARATED Y/C” not for “S-VHS”.
