It is not possible to record or play continuously from one side of a
double sided disc to the other.
When “Recording Time in EP Mode” has been set to “EP−Extended

The sound quality is better when using “EP−Extended Play (6H)”
than when using “EP−Extended Play (8H)”.
Refer to “Recording to DVD-R DL and +R DL” (ꢀ21).
Using “Flexible Recording” is convenient in these kinds of situations:
−When the amount of free space on the disc makes selecting an
appropriate recording mode difficult
2
−When you want to record a long program with the best picture
quality possible
e.g., Recording a 90 minutes program to 4.7 GB DVD-RAM disc:

Notes
This unit uses variable bit rate (VBR) recording which varies the
amount of data recorded to suit the images, so actual recording
times and remaining recording times shown by the unit will
be different. ([-R]DL] [+R]DL] The difference will be especially
noticeable.) Use a disc with plenty of remaining time to be sure.
When recording to DVD-RAM using EP (8H) mode, play may
not be possible on DVD players, even if they are compatible with
DVD-RAM. In this case use EP (6H) mode.

Linked Operations with the TV (VIERA Link TM “HDAVI Control TM”)
You can enjoy linked operations with the TV and receiver by using “HDAVI Control”.
What is VIERA Link “HDAVI Control”?
VIERA LinkTM is a new name for EZ SyncTM.
VIERA Link “HDAVI Control” is a convenient function that offers linked operations of this unit, and a Panasonic TV
(VIERA) or receiver under “HDAVI Control”.You can use this function by connecting the equipment with the HDMI
cable. See the operating instructions for connected equipment for operational details.
VIERA Link “HDAVI Control”, based on the control functions provided by HDMI which is an industry standard
known as HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), is a unique function that we have developed and added.
As such, its operation with other manufacturers’ equipment that supports HDMI CEC cannot be guaranteed.
This unit supports “HDAVI Control 3” function.
“HDAVI Control 3” is the newest standard (current as of December, 2007) for Panasonic’s HDAVI Control
compatible equipment. This standard is compatible with Panasonic’s conventional HDAVI equipment.
Please refer to individual manuals for other manufacturers’ equipment supporting VIERA Link function.

When using HDMI2 terminal of VIERA as “HDAVI Control”, set the input channel to HDMI2 on VIERA.
4. Turn on all “HDAVI Control” compatible equipment and select this unit’s input channel on the connected TV so
that the “HDAVI Control” function works properly.

Close the session after recording. Play may be impossible on some discs due to the condition of the recording.
Operation and sound quality of CDs that do not conform to CD-DA specifications (copy control CDs, etc.) cannot be guaranteed.
The producer of the disc can control how discs are played. So you may not always be able to control play as described in these operating
instructions. Read the disc’s instructions carefully.
Media Care
[RAM] Use cartridges to protect them from scratches and dirt.
Holding a disc or card
Storing media
Handle discs by the edges to avoid inadvertently scratching or
getting oil from your fingers on the disc. Do not touch the signal
surface of discs (the shiny side) or the terminal surface (the
metal part) of SD cards.
Do not place or store media in the following locations:
– Direct sunlight
– Very dusty or humid areas
– Near a heat source
– Places that undergo extreme shifts in temperature
(condensation can occur)
– Where static electricity or electromagnetic waves occur
Keep the Memory Card out of reach of children to prevent
swallowing.
Cleaning discs
Discs are not indestructible and occasionally dirt or
condensation may appear. Clean by gently wiping with a soft,
dry lint-free cloth in a straight line from the center of the disc to
the edge of the disc.
Return discs to their cases and SD cards to their cartridges
when not in use; this helps to protect against scratches and
dirt.
Discs to avoid
Discs that are not perfectly circular in shape
Warped discs, which may not balance properly in your unit,
causing improper operation or damage to the unit
Cracked discs
Video cassette
Poor quality or damaged video cassettes can cause the
heads to become dirty and malfunction.
Never use video cassettes on which juice has been spilled
or those that are extremely damaged since this will not only
cause the heads to become dirty, but will also make the unit
malfunction.
Discs with exposed adhesive (from removed stickers or
labels, such as may occur with rental discs or improperly
cared-for discs that were previously labeled or re-labeled)

Glossary
Bitstream
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
Unlike conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed digital
video and audio signals on a single cable. This unit supports high-
definition video output (720p, 1080i and 1080p) from HDMI AV OUT
terminal. To enjoy high-definition video a high definition compatible
television is required.
This is a signal compressed and converted into digital form. It is
converted back to a multi-channel audio signal, e.g., 5.1-channel, by a
decoder.
CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media)
CPRM is technology used to protect broadcasts that are allowed to
be recorded only once. Such broadcasts can be recorded only with
CPRM-compatible recorders and discs.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
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 benefit of
JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering the degree of
compression.
Decoder
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is
called decoding.
Dolby Digital
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)
This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby
Laboratories. 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.
An audio compression method that compresses audio to approximately
one-tenth of its size without any significant loss of audio quality.
Pan & Scan/Letterbox
In general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention that they will be
viewed on a widescreen TV (16:9 aspect ratio), so images often don’t
fit regular TVs (4:3 aspect ratio). 2 styles of picture, “Pan & Scan” and
“Letterbox”, deal with this problem.
Down-mixing
This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found on some
discs into two channels. It is useful when you want to listen to the 5.1-
channel audio recorded on DVDs through your TV’s speakers. Some
discs prohibit down-mixing. If this is the case, this unit can only output
the front two channels.
Pan & Scan: The sides are cut off so the picture
fills the screen.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
This surround system is used in many movie theaters. There is good
separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are
possible.
Letterbox:
Black bands appear at the top and
bottom of the picture so the picture
itself appears in an aspect ratio of
16:9.
Dynamic range
Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that
can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level
of sound before distortion occurs. Dynamic range compression means
reducing the gap between the loudest and softest sounds. This means
you can hear dialog clearly at low volume.
Progressive/Interlace
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.
Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution video
recorded on media such as DVD-Video.
Your TV must be compatible to enjoy progressive video.
Film and Video
DVD-Video are recorded using either film or video. The unit can
determine which type has been used, then uses the most suitable
method of progressive output.
Protection
You can prevent accidental erasure by setting writing protection or
Film is 24 or 30 frames per second, with motion picture film generally
being 24 frames per second.
erasure protection.
Video is 60 fields per second (2 fields making up 1 frame).
Sampling frequency
Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave
(analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital
encoding). Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per
second, so larger numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the
original sound.
Finalize
A process that makes play of a recorded CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, etc.
possible on equipment that can play such media.You can finalize DVD-
R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW (DVD-Video format), +R, and +R DL on the
unit. After finalizing, the disc becomes play-only and you can no longer
record or edit. However, finalized DVD-RW can be formatted to become
recordable.
Thumbnail
This refers to a miniature representation of a picture used to display
multiple pictures in the form of a matrix.
Folder
This is a place on the memory card where groups of data are stored
together. In the case of this unit, it refers to the place where still
pictures (JPEG) are stored.
1080i
In one high definition image, 1080 alternating scan lines pass every
1/60th of a second to create an interlace image. Because 1080i more
than doubles current television broadcasts of 480i, the detail is much
clearer and creates a more realistic and rich image.
Formatting
Formatting is the process of making media such as DVD-RAM
recordable on recording equipment.
1080p
You can format DVD-RAM, DVD-RW (only as DVD-Video format), +RW
and SD Card on this unit.
Formatting irrevocably erases all contents.
In one high definition image, 1080 scan lines pass at the same
time every 1/60th of a second to create a progressive image. Since
progressive video does not alternate scan lines like interlace, there is a
minimal amount of screen flicker.
Frame and field
Frame refers to the single images that constitute the video you see on
your TV. Each frame consists of 2 fields.
720p
In one high definition image, 720 scan lines pass at the same
time every 1/60th of a second to create a progressive image. Since
progressive video does not alternate scan lines like interlace, there is a
minimal amount of screen flicker.
ꢋ

Field
A frame still shows 2 fields, so there may be some blurring between
them, but picture quality is generally better.
A field still shows less picture information so it may be rougher, but
there is no blurring.
