Useful features
This DVD Video recorder records high quality images to rapid random access capable HDD (Hard disk drive) and DVD-RAM. This
has resulted in many new features that outperform older tape formats. The following information summarizes a few of these
features.
Instant recording
You no longer need to search for empty disc space. By pressing the
recording button, the unit finds available recording space and begins
recording right away. There is no need to worry about overwriting
already recorded content.
Instant play
There is no need to rewind or search forward. Direct Navigator
guides you to the beginning of the recorded video immediately.
HDD recording
You can keep on recording your favorite programmes to an internal
HDD that is able to record up to 709 hours [EP (8 Hour) mode].
You can also high speed transfer (dub) your favorite programmes to
DVD-RAM or DVD-R and create a backup disc.
LAN terminal, SD/PC card slots, DV input terminal
This unit is equipped with interfaces that allow networking
with digital equipment.
≥The LAN terminal of this unit lets you connect to a computer for
easy text input when giving names to video titles. This also allows
playback of MPEG4 titles and viewing of JPEG. You can also
connect to another network compatible Panasonic DVD recorder
for more video playback choice.
≥The SD/PC card slots of this unit let you transfer (dub) digital
camera photographs from a card to DVD-RAM for easy storage
without using a computer.
≥The DV automatic recording function of this unit lets you easily
transfer (dub) digital images to the HDD by connecting only a
single DV cable.
Transferring (dubbing)/editing/playing MPEG4
titles
≥While recording programmes to the HDD you can simultaneously
record them as MPEG4 titles. By then transferring (dubbing) these
MPEG4 titles from the HDD to a SD Memory Card or
MultiMediaCard, you can view them on a SD Video Camera etc.
≥You can also transfer (dub) MPEG2 titles recorded on a SD Video
Camera etc, to HDD or DVD-RAM.
5.1 channel surround sound
Enjoy the powerful movie theater and hall-like sound available with
multiple channel audio found on DVDs by connecting an amplifier
and speakers.
∫ Batteries
≥Insert so the poles (i and j) match those in the remote control.
≥Do not use rechargeable type batteries.
≥Do not mix old and new batteries.
≥Do not use different types at the same time.
≥Do not heat or expose to flame.
≥Do not take apart or short circuit.
≥Do not attempt to recharge alkaline or manganese batteries.
≥Do not use batteries if the covering has been peeled off.
Mishandling of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage which can
damage items the fluid contacts and may cause a fire.

Playback
While recording, you can play another
video programme that was recorded
previously.
Time Slip
During play and also while recording, you
can jump to the scene you wish to view by
specifying the skip time.

STEP 1
Connection
≥The equipment connections described are examples.
≥Before connection, turn off all equipment and read the appropriate operating instructions.
≥Peripheral equipment and optional cables sold separately unless otherwise indicated.
∫ Examples of equipment you can connect to this unit’s terminals
∫ Do not connect the unit through a video cassette recorder
Video signals fed through video cassette recorders will be affected by copyright
protection systems and the picture will not be shown correctly on the television.
≥When connecting to a television with a built in VCR, connect to the input terminals on
the television side, not the VCR side.
∫ When the unit is not to be used for a long time
To save power, unplug it from the household mains socket. This
unit consumes a small amount of power, even when it is turned off
(approx. 3.5 W
).

∫ Component video output
Component signal outputs the colour difference signals (PB/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high fidelity in
reproducing colours. If the television is compatible with progressive output, a high quality picture can be output because this unit’s component
video output terminal outputs a progressive output signal (➡ page 68).
For progressive output (➡page 12)
∫ Connecting to a television with 21-pin Scart
terminal
You can also connect with the AV1 terminal on this unit using the
21-pin Scart cable.
If your television is equipped with RGB input capability, by
connecting with a fully wired 21-pin Scart cable you can see video
using RGB output on this unit.
To output in RGB select “RGB (without component)” from “AV1
Output” in the SETUP menu (➡ page 63).
RGB refers to the three primary colours of light, red (R), green (G),
and blue (B) and also the method of producing video that uses
them. By dividing the video signal into the three colours for
transmission, noise is reduced for even higher quality images.
∫ Connecting to a VCR with 21-pin Scart terminal
You can also connect with the AV2 terminal on this unit using the
21-pin Scart cable.
To input in RGB select “RGB (Not NTSC)” from “AV2 Input” in the
SETUP menu (➡ page 63).

except for the subwoofer, should be the same distance from the
seating position. If you have to place the center or surround
speakers closer to the seating position, adjust the delay time to
make up for the difference.
If distances d (from the center speaker) and f (from the surround
speakers) are the same as or greater than e (from the front
speakers), leave the delay time as “0”, the factory preset.
If either distance d or f is less than e, find the difference in the
relevant table and change to the recommended setting.
