Introduction
About this product
Digital AV equipment
Playback Restriction
This recorder is operated by sophisticated software and
is different from other conventional AV equipment. Within
the recorder, a DVD-RAM/R drive and a hard disc drive
are connected by ATAPI, one of the standard
connections used for personal computers (PCs). The
hardware and software work by way of an operating
system (OS), which requires some time to start up after
turning on the power. Also, some commands, such as
erasing recorded contents may take time to execute.
This owner’s manual explains the basic instructions for
this recorder. Some DVD video discs are produced in a
manner that allows specific or limited operation during
playback. As such, the recorder may not respond to all
operating commands. This is not a defect in the recorder.
Refer to the instruction notes of discs.
“
“
” may appear on the TV screen during operation.
” means that the operation is not permitted by the
recorder or the disc.
About the internal hard disc (HDD)
Using different disc types for different purposes
Generally, hard discs (HDD) are very fragile. Depending
on the operating conditions, the internal HDD may
partially fail, or in the worst cases, may completely stop
functioning. Therefore, use the HDD as a temporal
storage, not as a long-term archive. After watching the
recorded contents once or copying it to a DVD-RAM disc,
the contents should be erased from the HDD.
If the damaged part of the HDD is used for recording,
block noise may occur. If you continue using the HDD,
the noise may worsen, and you risk permanent damage
to the entire HDD. When such noise is observed, copy
the HDD’s contents to a DVD-RAM disc immediately. Like
a hard disc in a PC, the HDD can be easily damaged,
and should be used cautiously with a backup.
Use DVD-RAM discs for your personal library
DVD-RAM discs comply with the global standard DVD-
VR (Video Recording) format, and are optimized for
recording of TV programmes. You can rewrite them
about 100,000 times without any deterioration, erase
unnecessary parts, divide a chapter, or specify playback
area by frame. Its cartridge is suitable for a long-term
storage and family use, and its large capacity of 9.4 GB
double sided disc is space saving.
Use DVD-R discs when creating your own original
discs for distribution
DVD-R discs comply with the global standard DVD-
VIDEO format, and can be recorded only once. DVD-R
discs are convenient when you edit your original content
(recorded personal events such as a wedding party) with
your PC, and send them to your friends or relatives. The
discs can be played on other DVD players. (Not all
compatible DVD video players can play DVD-R discs
recorded with this recorder.)
* This format is not suited for recording TV programmes.
According to DVD-VIDEO format, recording and
dividing into chapters must be by 15 frames. Possibly
an unnecessary part may remain even after editing.
Also, you cannot record programmes that include a
scene with bilingual sounds, and programms that
permit copying only once.

On DVD-RAM discs
To protect recorded contents
Slide the write-protect tab to
“PROTECT” with something sharp.
The disc can play, but cannot be
edited or erased. Refer to the
instructions that come with the disc.
Use only DVD-RAM discs that comply with DVD-
RAM standard Version 2.0 or 2.1
The recorder cannot record on a disc formatted in any
other standard. When using such a disc, initialize it
using the disc-format function of the recorder.
The recorder may not record, dub, or edit some DVD-
RAM discs, because they are edited/recorded with
another manufacture’s equipment or PC, contain a
large number of titles, or have little remaining capacity.
Also, a DVD-RAM disc may not be edited or recorded
if its title contains still pictures.
PROTECT
• The resuming function (
page
31) will not work if the write-protect
tab is set to “PROTECT”.
When using a disc without a
cartridge (commercially
available discs)
This recorder complies with current copyright
protection technology and can copy a disc only when
the disc permits copying once. When there is no
indication on the disc, copying will not be allowed.
Discs without cartridges can easily
attract fingerprints and dust, which is the reason they
are not recommended. If you cannot avoid using them,
handle with proper care.
When you write in a title column on a disc, use a pen
with a soft tip. Do not use a pen with a hard tip, such
as a ballpoint pen.
DVD-RAM discs with cartridges are
recommended for recording
Two types of DVD-RAM discs are
available: ones with cartridges and ones
without cartridges.You can use either of
them with this recorder, but the former
ones are recommended.
In order to record highly detailed data, make sure the
disc is clean. DVD-RAM discs with cartridges are
easier to handle in this regard.
Recommended discs
The following discs have been tested with this recorder:
9.4 GB double-sided type4 cartridge: Panasonic LM-
AD240E
4.7 GB single-sided type4 cartridge: Panasonic LM-
AB120E
Do not open the cartridge shutter. The disc may not
play, or may not be recorded or edited once it
becomes dirty.
On DVD-R discs
There are two types of DVD-RAM cartridges;
removable and not removable. It is recommended you
do not remove the disc even when you can.
Refer to the instruction manual that comes with the
disc if it is absolutely necessary to remove the disc.
Some commercially available cartridge discs cannot
be recorded or edited once the inside discs are
removed.
A 4.7 GB DVD-R disc can only be recorded from the
HDD when the DVD-R Broadcast Record (
page 143)
is set to on; you cannot record directly on the disc. Only
blank discs that have never been recorded are usable.
Once recorded, you cannot add or delete content.
Make sure that the disc is clean, as the discs are not
covered with cartridges. Images that restrict or prohibit
copying cannot be recorded. And not all compatible DVD
Video players can play DVD-R discs recorded with this
recorder.
Recommended discs
The following discs have been tested with this recorder:
Panasonic LM-RF120E (4.7 GB/120 minutes)
Other DVD-R discs may not work well.
Select a disc that shows a statement on its package, such as “This disc can copy images that permit
single copying”.
Some functions such as Library may not work with PC discs.
The company does not hold any responsibility to compensate the contents which should have been recorded, and
any losses or damages (e.g. losses of business profit, or business intermission) that may arise from malfunction of
this recorder (not recording/editing as intended).

Important: This is an emergency measure, which may
cause losses and/or damages of data. Avoid casual use of
this measure. If you try this while the recorder is working
properly, especially while the “Loading” or “Unloading” icon
is flashing, it may result in initializing of the HDD.
Notes
• Use the button on the front panel or the remote control to
open and close the disc tray. Do not push or hold the disc
tray while it is moving. Doing so may cause the recorder to
malfunction.
• Do not insert a disc which is unplayable, or any object
other than a playable disc.
• Do not apply downforce to the disc tray. Doing so may
cause the recorder to malfunction.
Notes
• If the disc tray stops before it is completely closed, it
automatically comes out again with the protection function.
Do not force to close the tray when it stops, or it may be
damaged.
• If there are any performance malfunctions of the HDD or
the DVD-RAM drive, immediately discontinue use of this
recorder, and disconnect the power cord from a wall outlet,
then contact your dealer. Continuous use of the recorder in
such a condition will aggravate the condition and result in
increased cost and repair time.
• Titles of DVD-RAM or DVD-R discs that are recorded with
another manufacturer’s recorder may not correctly be
indicated. And you may not be able to add or change title,
or execute library recording.
Turning the power off
Press the ON/STANDBY button on the front panel of
the recorder or the power button on the remote
control.

Notes
• The physical format process may fail if executed to a dirty
DVD-RAM disc. Also, the disc may be difficult to record,
even if it finished. Before executing DVD-RAM physical
format process, be sure to confirm the disc is not dirty.
Clean it if necessary. If scars or dirt remains even after
cleaning of the disc, do not execute the physical format.
• The following DVD-RAM discs require physical formatting:
–A disc which is not formatted correctly.
–The disc which has errors during writing because of dirt
on the disc, and cannot be further recorded, or cannot
initialize normally.
• You need to start physical formatting from the first step
again when you use a failed disc.
When initialization is completed, the setup window
disappears.
DVD-RAM Physical Format
Physical formatting is a simple execution for a disc which
cannot be used or read (or which is becoming hard to
read). It may refresh such a disc for recording and
playback. (There is no guarantee that all such discs will
be recovered.)
• Physical formatting does not work if the disc contains a lot
of void beyond limitation of this recorder.
• If an error occurs in physical formatting, “ERR-01” appears
in the front panel display. To turn off the message, press
the DISPLAY button on the remote control.
“DVD-RAM logical format” process only rewrites certain
data on file system and management information,
however, “DVD-RAM physical format” rewrites all data on
a disc, therefore it takes a much longer time to complete.
For a 4.7GB single sided DVD-RAM, about 70 minutes
will be necessary. While processing, all recorder
operations and functions including programme recording
or automatic recording of an external source will not work
until the process is finished. Also this process erases all
data stored on the disc.

• For normal recording or when you cannot decide which mode to choose.
Select “SP”.
• When you do not have to preserve the recorded content longer.
Select “LP”. Inferior to “SP” in picture quality, but it can record longer.
• To record a high picture quality
Select “Manual” to set a desired bit rate. The higher the bit rate, better the picture quality is, but shorter the
recording length becomes. We recommend that you set about 6.0 Mbps to 6.8 Mbps. For saving discs to make a
collection of dramas or cartoons, 3.2 Mbps is also recommended.You can fill a double sided disc with about 14
progams of 30 minutes from which unnecessary portions are deleted.
• To fill the disc
Select “Auto”. A bit rate is calculated automatically according to the remaining volume of the disc. Some contents
may not be recorded on the disc even if you select this function. This is not the function to make full use of the
remaining space capacity.
