LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS

This warranty does not apply to products purchased outside Canada or to any product which has been improperly installed, subjected to usage for which the 
product was not designed, misused or abused, damaged during shipping, or which has been altered or repaired in any way that affects the reliability or detracts 
from the performance, nor does it cover any product which is used commercially. Dry cell batteries are also excluded from coverage under this warranty.
This warranty is extended to the original end user purchaser only. A purchase receipt or other proof of date of original purchase is required before warranty service is performed.

THIS EXPRESS, LIMITED WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, EXCLUDING ANY IMPLIED 
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
IN NO EVENT WILL PANASONIC CANADA INC. BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

In certain instances, some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or the exclusion of implied

For product repairs,

 please contact one of the following:

Your Dealer who will inform you of an authorized Servicentre nearest you.

Our Customer Care Centre at (905) 624-5505 or www.panasonic.ca

A Panasonic Factory Servicentre listed below:

IF YOU SHIP THE PRODUCT TO A SERVICENTRE

Carefully pack and send prepaid, adequately insured and preferably in the original carton. 

Include details of the defect claimed, and proof of date of original purchase.

The television has both S-VIDEO IN terminal and 
COMPONENT VIDEO IN terminals. Which 
terminal should I connect with?

We recommend the COMPONENT VIDEO IN terminal. Component signal 
outputs the color difference signals (P

B

/P

R

) and luminance signal (Y) 

separately in order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors.
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.

Setup Guide

Is my television progressive output compatible?

All Panasonic televisions that have 480P input terminals are compatible. 
Consult the manufacturer if you have another brand of television.

Can I play DVD-Video, DVD-Audio and Video 
CDs bought in another country?

You can play them if the video standard is NTSC.

However, you cannot play DVD-Video if their region number does not include “1” or “ALL”.


Can a DVD-Video that does not have a region 
number be played?

The DVD-Video region number indicates the disc conforms to a standard. 
You cannot play discs that do not have a region number.

Please tell me about DVD-R and DVD-RW 
compatibility with this unit.

This unit records and plays DVD-R. However, you cannot record onto DVD-
R discs that are finalized. 

This unit also records and plays the high speed recording compatible discs.

This unit does not record or play DVD-RW.


Please tell me about CD-R and CD-RW 
compatibility with this unit.

You can play CD-R and CD-RW on this unit that are created using a compatible format.

You cannot write to a CD-R or CD-RW with this unit.

9, 23

Can I record from a commercially purchased 
video cassette or DVD?

Most commercially sold video cassettes and DVD are copy protected; 
therefore, recording is usually not possible.

Can a DVD-R recorded on this unit be played on 
other equipment?

You can play on DVD-R compatible players after finalizing the disc on this 

unit; however, due to the condition of the recording, play may not be possible.

35

How many times can I write to a DVD-RAM disc?

You can write to the disc approximately 100,000 times depending upon the conditions of use.

Can I high speed transfer to a disc?

You can record up to a 32

k

 recording speed to DVD-R and up to 24

k

 

recording speed to DVD-RAM when using a high speed compatible disc.

L1 AUDIO terminal connections.
