Features
This unit allows recording of high quality video on HDD and DVD-RAM, the compact and durable digital media with fast
random access. This media also out performs past tape formats in ease of operation.
∫ Maximum 160 hours on HDD (Hard Disk Drive)
∫ DV Automatic Recording (➜page 16)
A play list is automatically created, which is convenient for editing.
(‹page 15)
This model is installed with a high capacity 120 GB hard disk capable of
recording a maximum of 160 hours (6 hours continuously). The same
functions are available with HDD as with DVD-RAM and editing/record-
ing of visual data from hard disk to DVD-RAM/R is easy-to-perform.
∫
Exceptional sound and picture quality when recording
≥
Audio is recorded using Dolby Digital stereo, enabling high quality
sound recordings. When recording in XP mode it is possible to use
LPCM (2 channel) to achieve sound recordings of even higher quality.
≥The encoder system used for recording is called “Hybrid VBR” and
allows high quality recordings.
∫ Maximum 12 hours on DVD-RAM
≥Using a double sided, 9.4 GB DVD–RAM allows you to record a
maximum of 12 hours (6 hours continuously).
∫ Fast access to the program you want to watch
(➜page 19) [HDD] [RAM] [DVD-R]
Use the Direct Navigator to find a program you have recorded and start play.
≥You can also use the FR (Flexible Recording) mode to fit record-
ings efficiently onto the available space on the disc.
∫ Make your own DVD-Video
∫ Maximum 24t DVD-R recording speed
You can high speed record from the HDD to a DVD-R using 24k
recording speed on DVD-R discs that are compatible with high
speed recording (When EP mode and Dolby Digital is selected).
Programs stored on the HDD can be quickly dubbed and stored on
a DVD-R.
≥Finalizing a DVD-R that has been recorded on produces an origi-
nal DVD-Video in accordance with DVD-Video standards.
≥
In addition to DVD-Video movie software, this unit can also play other
types of discs including audio CDs and Video CDs. This means that
this unit has the potential to play a central role in your home enter-
tainment, from high-end home theater through to CD playback.
∫ Auto Renewal Recording (➜page 28)
If you record a program onto HDD repeatedly everyday or every
week using timer recording, the unit will record the new program
over the old one.
∫ MP3 disc play (➜page 24)
You can also play MP3 files recorded on CD-R and CD-RW, as well
as DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-Audio, DVD-Video, Video CDs and CDs.
∫ Progressive Scan
∫ Relief Recording (➜page 27)
By connecting the component video terminal of this unit to a pro-
gressive scan television, it is possible to enjoy the high quality pic-
ture rendered by the progressive scan function.
When timer recording to DVD-RAM or DVD-R, the unit will compare
the remaining space on the disc and the time necessary for record-
ing. If space is insufficient the unit will record the program to HDD
instead (there is no relief recording function the other way, i.e. from
HDD to DVD-RAM or DVD-R).
∫ Quick View (➜page 21)
You can speed up play to make checking the contents faster. Both
video and sound are played faster.
∫ Editing your recording [HDD] [RAM]
≥You can divide programs (➜page 36).
≥Use play lists (➜page 32) to select your favorite scenes and rear-
range them to play in any order you like.
∫ The FUNCTIONS window shows you most of the
features you can use (➜page 50)
The FUNCTIONS window has most of the features and functions
you are likely to use regularly. Just select the icon for the operation
you want to perform.
∫ Dubbing/editing/playing SD VIDEO (MPEG4)
programs (‹pages 22, 30, 42)
∫ Watch a program while you are recording it
(➜page 17) [HDD] [RAM]
Chasing play
≥You can simultaneously record programs as SD VIDEO (MPEG4)
programs to the HDD (➜page 14). By dubbing to a SD card, you
can view the programs on a Panasonic video camera [SD VIDEO
(MPEG4) compatible].
You can watch a program from the start while you are still recording it.
Simultaneous rec and play
You can record a program while watching one you recorded previously.
≥You can also dub SD VIDEO (MPEG2) recorded on future
releases of Panasonic SD video cameras to this unit.

Glossary
Bitstream
Interlace and progressive output
This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 chan-
nel) before it is decoded into its various channels.
NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (I) scan lines,
whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines.
This is called 480P.
CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media)
CPRM is the copyright protection technology that is used to protect
broadcasts that are allowed to be recorded only once (e.g. some
CATV broadcasts).
I/P/B
MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with
DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.
I: Intra coded picture
Decoder
This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when
adjusting the picture.
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal.
P: Predictive coded picture
Dolby Digital
This picture is calculated based on past I- or P-pictures.
B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture
This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I- and
P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.
This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Labo-
ratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also
be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be
recorded on one disc using this method.
This unit is set to record using Dolby Digital in all recording modes.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
Dolby Pro Logic
This is a system used for compressing/decoding color still pictures.
If you select JPEG as the storage system on digital cameras etc.,
the data will be compressed to 1/10–1/100 of its original size. The
special quality of this standard is that there is little deterioration in
picture quality in comparison to the degree of compression.
A surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as 2
channels and then is restored to 4 channels for play. The surround
channel is monaural and can reproduce up to 7 kHz.
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)
DPOF is the standard printing format for still picture data. It is used
by photo developing stores to print out the still picture data taken
from a digital camera and other equipment or when printing from
your home printer.
Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on
CDs. LPCM sound is available when recording in XP mode.
MPEG2/MPEG4 (Moving Picture Experts Group)
A standard for efficiently compressing and expanding color video.
MPEG2 is a compression standard used for DVD and satellite
based digital broadcasting and this unit records programs using
MPEG2.
Drive
In the instance of this unit, this refers to the hard disk (HDD) and
DVD. These perform the reading and writing of data. Select them by
pressing the drive select buttons ([HDD] or [DVD]).
MPEG4 is a compression standard created for use with mobile
equipment and use over networks, providing highly efficient record-
ings even with low bit rates.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the
world. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic
sound effects are possible.
Playback control (PBC)
If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and infor-
mation with menus.
FAT (File Allocation Table)
The FAT12 (12-bit file allocation table) and FAT16 (16-bit file alloca-
tion table) systems this unit is compatible with are file systems used
widely in computers around the world.
Pan&Scan/Letterbox
In general, DVD-Video discs are produced for viewing on wide-
screen televisions with an aspect ratio of 16:9. This means you can
view most material with the intended aspect ratio on a widescreen
television.
Film and video
DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. Usually, film is
recorded at 24 frames per second, the rate movies are filmed at,
while video is recorded at 30 frames per second.
Material with this ratio will not fit onto a standard television with an
aspect ratio of 4:3. Two styles of picture, “Pan&Scan” and “Letter-
box”, deal with this problem.
Pan&Scan:The sides are cut off so the picture fills
the screen.
Finalize
A process that makes play of recorded audio and video on a CD-R,
CD-RW and DVD-R possible on play compatible equipment. You
can finalize a DVD-R on this unit.
Letterbox: Black bands appear at the top and bot-
tom of the picture so the picture itself
appears in an aspect ratio of 16:9.
Frame still and field still
Frames are the still pictures that make moving pictures. About thirty
are shown each second. A frame still may appear blurred but overall
quality is high.
Two fields appear alternately to make up one frame. A field still is
not blurred but picture quality is lower.
TIFF (Tag Image File Format)
A still picture data standard. A common format for storing high qual-
ity images on digital camera’s and other devices.
Hard disk drive (HDD)
This is a mass data storage device used in computers etc. A disk
with a surface that has been treated with magnetic fluid is spun and
a magnetic head is brought in close proximity to facilitate the read-
ing and writing of large amounts of data at high speed.
