Part or all of a recorded title has
been lost.
If the power shuts down or the AC mains lead is disconnected from the
household mains socket while recording or editing, the title may be lost
or the HDD/disc may become unusable. We cannot offer any guarantee
regarding lost titles or discs. You will have to format the disc (
[HDD] [RAM]

) or use a new disc.

recorded.
An external playback device is interfering with the TV because the device is

When copying, it takes a long time
even in high speed mode.
Use a disc that is compatible with high speed recording. Even if the disc is
high speed recording compatible, the maximum speed may not be possible
due to the condition of the disc.
It takes longer than normal to copy many titles.
You cannot high speed copy to DVD-R titles longer than 6 hours when using other
Panasonic DVD Recorders that are not compatible with EP (8 Hours) mode recording.
