Disc information

This unit is not compatible with: 

12-cm (5

z

), 2.6- and 5.2-GB DVD-RAM

3.95- and 4.7-GB DVD-R for Authoring

DVD-RAM not recorded following the Video Recording Standard

Unfinalized DVD-R recorded on other equipment

This unit is compatible with the Content Protection for Record-
able Media (CPRM)
 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.

We 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.

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 cartridge-type discs give
better protection to your recordings (

page 19). 

Picture aspect ratios, regular 4:3 or widescreen 16:9, are recorded
as they are received.

Discs with programs recorded in PAL already cannot be recorded
on using this unit.

In order to play a DVD-R recorded using this machine on
another playback source, the disc must first be finalized
(

page 34).

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.

You cannot record over parts that have been recorded.

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
recording.

The video is recorded in a 4:3 aspect irrespective of the video sig-
nal input.

Discs with programs recorded in PAL already cannot be recorded
on using this unit.

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.

This unit can play CD-DA (digital audio) and Video CD format
(Video CD Format 2.0 or above), audio CD-R and CD-RW that
have been finalized upon completion of recording.
It may not be able to play some CD-R or CD-RW due to the condi-
tion of the recording.

This unit cannot record onto CD-R or CD-RW.
