Introduction  
About this product  
Some differences  
Compatiblity  
This DVD recorder is more similar to a computer than it is  
to a standard DVD player. In addition to a  
microprocessor, it contains an operating system, random  
access memory (RAM), and a DVD-RAM/R/RW drive.  
The operating system includes software that is  
transferred to the RAM when the machine is turned on  
and at other times during operation. This transfer can  
take time. Thus, when you turn on the DVD recorder, it  
may be a minute or so before it is ready to use. Likewise,  
other functions may not be performed as quickly as they  
would on other AV equipment. In addition, accessing  
programs stored on the DVD-RAM/R/RW drive (or  
deleting a program from a DVD-RAM or DVD-RW disc)  
may take more time. Please take these factors into  
consideration as you use the DVD recorder.  
In isolated cases, a disc bearing the DVD or CD logo  
may not fully and properly play back all features. This  
can be due, among other reasons, to problems and  
errors that can occur during the creation or recording of  
DVD and other software and the manufacture of software  
discs (including blank discs). Moreover, because of  
variations in the quality of discs, this recorder may not be  
able to record on all discs that bear a DVD-RAM, DVD-R  
or DVD-RW logo, but you should not encounter difficulty  
if you use only high quality recordable DVD discs. If you  
happen to encounter difficulties playing or recording a  
DVD disc or playing a CD disc, please feel free to call our  
Customer Service Hotline at 1-800-319-6684.  
Playback Restrictions  
This owners 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.  
Please refer to the notes on compatible discs later in this  
Introduction and to the discussion of DVD playback and  
features later in this manual.  
may appear on the TV screen during operation.  
means that the operation is not permitted by the  
recorder or the disc.  
Recording Restrictions  
Copy-protected contents of DVD-Video disc, VIDEO CDs  
or audio CDs on the market cannot be copied on this  
recorder.  
Contents without copy protection should be copied or  
edited only in accordance with applicable copyright laws,  
which may restrict copying or editing. Contents that  
permit single copying (copy once contents) can be  
recorded onto DVD-RAM discs, with some dubbing and  
editing restrictions. DVD-R/RW discs cannot record these  
contents.

Using different disc types for different purposes  
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 programs.You can rewrite repeatedly without deterioration of an image quality, erase unnecessary parts, divide a  
chapter, or specify playback area by frame. Its cartridge is suitable for a longer-term storage and family use, and its  
large capacity of 9.4 GB allows more recording space.  
DVD-R discs when creating your own original discs for distribution  
DVD-R discs are designed to 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 recorder, transfer them to the recorder and make copies to send to your friends or relatives. The discs can be  
played on other compatible DVD players. DVD-RW discs, which are rewriteable, can be used as well.  
* DVD-R and DVD-RW may not be the best suited format for recording TV programs. Because of the way the discs are  
formatted, it may not be possible to edit or divide the program as you may prefer, to record secondary languages, or  
programs that are copy protected in a way that allows only one copy. (NOTE: Copy onceprotected programs  
generally can be recorded to DVD-RAM discs.)  
* This recorder records on a DVD-R/RW disc in DVD-Video format only. In DVD-VR format, recording is not possible.  
We cannot guarantee that DVD-RAM/R/RW discs recorded on this recorder will be playable on all DVD recorders/  
players. Similarly, there is no guarantee that all DVD-RAM/R/RW discs recorded on other recorders will be playable on  
this player.

On DVD-RAM discs  
To protect recorded contents  
Slide the write-protect tab to  
PROTECTwith something small  
enough. 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 by  
using the disc-format function of this recorder.  
The recorder may not record, dub, or edit some DVD-  
RAM discs, because they are edited/recorded with  
another manufactures 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.  
DVD-RAM discs formatted in UDF2.0 on a PC are not  
compatible with this recorder. Before using these  
discs, initialize them on this recorder.  
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.  
Such an indication on a disc is required also for the  
Library Management database.  
PROTECT  
When using a disc without a  
cartridge (commercially  
available discs)  
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.  
Recommended discs  
The following discs have been tested with this recorder:  
9.4 GB double-sided cartridge: Panasonic LM-AD240U  
4.7 GB single-sided cartridge: Panasonic LM-AB120U  
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.  
Do not open the cartridge shutter. The disc may not  
play, or may not be recorded or edited once it  
becomes dirty.  
There are two types of DVD-RAM cartridges;  
removable (TYPE 2/4) and not removable (TYPE 1). 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.  
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).  
Problems arising in the following situations are included.  
When a DVD disc recorded on this recorder is used in a DVD recorder of another manufacturer, or used  
(insertion, playback, recording or editing) in a personal computer DVD drive.  
When a DVD that has been used as above is used again in this recorder.  
When a DVD disc recorded in a DVD recorder of another manufacturer, or in a personal computer DVD drive  
is used.  
Some functions such as Library may not work with PC discs.

confirming a point to start a recording from.  
Further, if you use DVD-RAM discs, you can collect necessary scenes and store them in it to make  
your own video library.  
Is your DVD recorder ready?  
Note  
This recorder records on a DVD-RAM disc if it complies  
with DVD-RAM standard Version 2.0 or 2.1. However, you  
may not record on some DVD-RAM discs that have  
complicated contents (often, to protect the recorded data).  
When you select a DVD-RAM discs that has already been

On a programmed recording across the change-  
over of Daylight-saving time  
When the clock gains across Daylight-saving time  
during a programmed recording, it means that the  
recording completion time is consequently set one-  
hour earlier. In this case, set the programmed  
recording one-hour longer in advance. If not set  
accordingly, the programmed recording stops one-  
hour shorter.  
To check space remaining on a disc  
1) Press REMAIN.  
The current capacity is displayed at the bottom of  
the screen and on the front panel display.  
2) After checking the capacity, press the button  
again to turn off the display.  
When the clock loses across Daylight-saving time  
during a programmed recording, it means that the  
recording completion time is consequently set one-  
hour later. In this case, as the programmed  
recording continues one-hour longer, delete  
unnecessary chapters by chapter dividing after the  
completion of recording.  
Note  
You can also check the capacity of the disc by selecting  
Disc budget calculationfrom the Quick Menu within the  
REC MENU (  
page 44).  
Programmed recording and operational status  
The recorder gives priority to programmed recordings  
in every operating mode. Even if the recorder is  
playing, recording or editing, or even in standby mode,  
at a starting time of a programmed recording the  
recorder will make itself ready or stop those  
operations and start the recording.  
However, DVD-Video finalizing process(  
page  
108) operations may have priority over programmed  
recordings.  
Notes  
The Loadingicon appears in the top right of the screen after recording. This indicates that the unit is executing  
the final recording process (writing managing information). Operations other than changing channels cannot be  
done until this icon disappears. The time for executing this process differs depending on the recording time or  
capacity of the disc.

Notes  
DVD-RAM physical format  
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 the disc has scratches or dust  
beyond cleaners efficacy, do not execute DVD-RAM  
physical format process on the disc.  
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.  
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.)  
DVD-RAM logical formatprocess only rewrites certain  
data on file system and management information,  
however, DVD-RAM physical formatrewrites 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 program recording will  
not work until the process is finished. Also this process  
erases all data stored on the DVD-RAM disc.  
You need to start physical formatting from the first step  
again when you use a failed disc.  
Physical formatting does not work if the disc contains a lot  
of voids beyond the limitation of this recorder.  
If an error occurs in physical formatting, ERR-01appears  
in the front panel display. To turn off the message, press  
the DISPLAY button.

Preparation  
Load a DVD-RAM/R/RW into the recorder.  
Load a disc which has sufficient remaining space to record the program.  
Make sure the loaded disc is not write-protected.  
Notes  
Even if a source of high quality sound track such as DVD audio is recorded with this recorder, the sound quality becomes  
regular audio CDs one.  
Refer to the instructions of the connected equipment.  
When you record an external source onto a DVD-R/RW disc, set the connected equipment to output sound you want to  
record (if selectable such as multiplex broadcasting), as the recorder records sounds of external source in the stereo type  
onto a DVD-R/RW disc, neglecting the setting of DVD compatible mode(  
page 134).  
DVD-R/RW discs cannot record contents with copy restriction signal embedded (copy-protected or copy once contents),  
DVD-RAM discs can record copy once contents.  
Some satellite programs via a connected tuner may contain both 4:3 pictures and 16:9 pictures. DVD-R/RW discs cannot  
record such contents, under restriction of DVD-Video standard. To record them, use DVD-RAM discs.  
When both the VIDEO (yellow) jack and the S-VIDEO jack are connected, the S-VIDEO jack has priority.

Notes on recording from a connected VCR or camcorder  
Check the condition of the source equipment before playing.  
Set the equipment in good condition, e.g. clean the head or adjust the tracking, etc. to obtain optimum playback.  
Bad condition may produce noises in playback. These noises may be detected as copy protection signals,  
resulting in stop of recording on this recorder.  
Play a source in an usual mode. Avoid using any correcting or enhancing features, as they may add signals which  
can be detected as copy protection signals.  
Source quality or tape condition beyond adjustments on the source equipment may stop a recording on this  
recorder.  
Do not operate the source equipment during recording on this recorder.  
Operations such as pausing, resuming, fast-forwarding (CUE) and fast-reversing (REVIEW), etc. may produce  
noises, which may be detected as copy protection signals. Therefore, first start playback on the source equipment  
to confirm that the desired source can be played properly, and then start recording on this recorder.  
Do not operate the source equipment during recording. After completing the desired scene, stop the recording on  
the recorder, and then stop the playback on the source equipment. Delete unnecessary scenes using editing  
functions (  
page 104). If you want to operate the source equipment during recording, pause or stop the  
recording. After operating the source equipment, resume the recording as above.  
When recording from a camcorder  
Follow the above notes. Be sure to power the camcorder by its AC adapter, not batteries. If batteries are used, the  
recording may be finished on the way.

Technical information  
About recording time  
On a blank 4.7 GB DVD-RAM disc, the ATmode  
automatically sets the appropriate bit rate  
The recording time of a typical VCR (Video Cassette  
Recorder) is determined by the length of a video tape  
and recording speed (SP, LP, etc.). Video tapes with  
various recording times are available in the market.  
On the other hand, the recording time of a DVD-RAM/  
R/RW depends on the bit rate (Mbps: amount of data  
transmitted per second), which can be varied in  
MPEG2 (Moving Picture Experts Group2)  
corresponded to the recording time from about 1 hour  
to up to 2 and a half hours so that you can achieve the  
best picture quality. If a part of a DVD-RAM disc has  
already been recorded, the ATmode sets the bit rate  
suitable for the remaining space on the disc. (The  
picture quality is determined referring the remaining  
space just before recording. When the remaining  
space is scarce in the disc, the picture quality may  
decrease from what you set beforehand or the  
recording may stop halfway.) ATmode is available  
also on DVD-R/RW recordings.  
When you want to record a music program or  
animation with high picture quality, it is recommended  
that you select the Manualmode. If you select more  
than 6 Mbps, you can usually record with considerably  
higher picture quality. However the higher you set the  
bit rate, the shorter the recording time.  
compression technology.  
As an example, when you pour water into a bucket  
from a faucet, the faster the water flows, the sooner  
the bucket is filled with water. On the other hand, the  
slower the water flows, the more slowly the bucket is  
filled. The DVD-RAM/R/RW is, so to speak, such a  
bucket, and the degree you turn the faucet is bit rate,  
the time required to fill the bucket with water is the  
recording time available for a disc. The higher you set  
the bit rate (making much more water flow), the sooner  
a disc is filled. Consequently, the recording time  
becomes shorter. The lower you set the bit rate, the  
longer time it takes to fill a disc.  
D /M1,  
D /M2  
Sound recording format onto DVD-RAM discs. When  
recording, sounds are converted into digital signals  
and compressed. In playback, they are extracted to the  
About picture quality (SP, LP, Auto, Manual mode)  
original sound. The standard differenciates  
and D /M2 in data volume to use. D /M1 and  
D /M2 are applied the digital recording technology  
for consumer products of Dolby Laboratories. Dolby  
Digital 192 kbps is set for D /M1 and Dolby Digital  
384 kbps for D /M2.  
D /M1  
The higher you set the bite rate, the more the volume  
of information for the picture. The lower the bit rate, the  
less the volume of picture information.  
However a high bit rate does not always mean that the  
picture quality is high. The difference between the 1.4  
Mbps and 9.2 Mbps is obvious, but when comparing  
similar bit rates, the difference may be insignificant.  
Generally when you set the bit rate low for longer  
recording time, the data volume shortage will result in  
a lack of detail information. As a result, the picture  
quality is decreased (more noticeable with dynamically  
moving images). For example, square noises (block  
noise) may occur in a scene with fast action or a  
scene with light and shadows, such as a water  
surface.  
L-PCM (Linear PCM)  
Sound recording format, like Dolby Digital. However,  
sounds are converted into digital signals and recorded  
as they are without compression. This process  
requires more data than Dolby Digital.  
This recorder has a two settings, 2 hour recording at  
SPmode or 4 hour recording at LPmode (both  
assume a blank 4.7 GB DVD-RAM). It is  
recommended to consider the SPmode as a  
standard mode and use the LPmode when you want  
to record for long time regardless of the picture quality.  
If you want to record for about 2 hours or are uncertain  
which one to select, select the ATmode.

Screen Protection  
If you pause playback or display a menu and leave it still for about 15 minutes, the recorder switches the output

seconds.  
Notes  
Do not move the recorder during playback. It may damage the disc.  
Occasionally the picture may stop at the last scene, or the main menu may appear after playing.  
If you display a still picture such as the main menu on the TV screen for a prolonged period, the TV may be damaged (image  
burn). To prevent this, press the STOP button to stop playback.  
A still picture for about 15 minutes while the TIMESLIP indicator illuminates, will return to normal playback. If the playback is  
completed, a still picture of the title end will continue unless you press the TIMESLIP button.

Editing  
Before editing  
This section describes information for editing of contents recorded on a DVD-RAM disc. Be sure to read  
before performing any editing.  
Basic steps of editing  
Creating chapters  
Programming a Playlist  
Dub (Copy) the Playlist (this will create an Original  
title of the desired scenes)  
Editing is executed by a title and a chapter. Titles and chapters are classified into Originaland Playlist.First, specify  
a desired scene by dividing a title (Original) into chapters. Then compile the necessary chapters (Original) in desired  
order by programming a Playlist. Then dub (copy) the Playlist on the same disc. This creates a title (Original).  
Refer to the following examples about Playlistand Original.”  
Example: Creating your own music compilation by collecting songs from music programs you record from Monday  
to Friday.  
You can create one title for one recording.  
Favorite songs  
Monday  
Tuesday  
Wednesday  
Thursday  
Friday  
Title (Original) 1  
(including one chapter (Original))  
In the example above, five titles are created, as you recorded programs five times from Monday to Friday. The  
content you recorded is called Title (Original)”  
All chapters in a title (Original) are chapters (Original).  
Specify the range (a favorite song) you need in  
each title (Original).  
To specify the range, create a chapter. A segment of  
a song becomes one chapter by creating divisions in  
a chapter at the beginning and end of a song. In the  
example to the right, three chapters (Original) are  
created in one title (Original).

Chapter 3  
Chapter 2  
Monday  
Title (Original) 1  
(including three chapters (Original))

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Compile chapters in a desired order.  
You can select any chapter or order of chapters, as  
you want. Also you can assign a title to multiple  
chapters.  
Title (Original) 1  
(including three chapters (Original))  
Chapter 1  
Chapter 2  
Chapter 3  
3
Monday  
Each element to be compiled is called a part. In the  
example to the right, the three chapters in  
Wednesday, Friday, and Monday are the parts.  
When compiled, the source chapter (Original)  
remains as it is in the title (Original).  
Tuesday  
Wednesday  
1
A new part is not created by copying the source  
chapter (Original). It does not contain actual recorded  
content but only exists as an informational sub-set of  
the chapter name and the playback order (in the right  
example, the chapter names are Monday,  
Thursday  
Friday  
2
Wednesday, and Fridayand the playback order is  
WednesdayFridayMonday).  
For actual playback, the contents of the source  
chapter (Original) are played. Basically, it is a list for  
the recorder to go and find the content.  
Chapter  
(Playlist) 1  
Chapter  
(Playlist) 2  
Chapter  
(Playlist) 3  
You can create a part from the Original as many  
times as you want and you can make different titles  
with the same parts by changing the combination or  
order.  
For parts, you can use not only chapters like in the  
example, but also titles (Original) and other Playlist.  
Title (Playlist) 1  
(including three chapters (Playlist))  
When title (Playlist) 1 is played,  
,
1
and  
are played in order.  
2
3
You can play the actual recorded content, such as titles (Original) and chapters (Original), or by managing the  
Originals and parts, you can virtually create a variety of titles without increasing the use of disc space.  
These virtual titles or chapters are called Title (Playlist)or Chapter (Playlist)respectively.  
In order to differentiate titles (Playlist) from titles (Original), an Original is displayed on screen as ORGand a Playlist  
is displayed as PL.

Editing  
Before editing (Continued)  
Make the compiled chapters into a title (Original).  
(Dubbing)  
Playlist  
If you just want to play the compiled chapters in  
desired order, you only play the Playlist. If you want to  
delete a title (Original) which contains unnecessary  
chapters, be sure to dub (copy) the Playlist and make  
it into a title (Original).  
Chapter  
(Playlist) 1  
Chapter  
(Playlist) 2

Title (Playlist) 1  
Dubbing (Copying)  
You are now converting the virtual file (playlist) into an  
actual file that will become a new original file.

Chapter

Notes  
A title (Playlist) or a chapter (Playlist) is based on a title (Original) or a chapter (Original). Therefore changing or deleting a  
title (Original) or a chapter (Original) will affect the related title (Playlist) or chapter (Playlist).  
Some recorded content cannot be edited (for example, a title including still images).  
The boundary of the title with unnecessary part deleted and titles (Playlist) having different parts cannot be played back  
seamlessly (without break).  
Proceed to the practical operations.  
See Creating chapters(  
page 89) and Playlist editing (Collecting desired scenes)(  
page 102).

Editing

Creating chapters  
A recording makes 1 title, which includes 1 chapter. By dividing it into several chapters, it will be easier  
to access a desired scene, and your editing or playback will be much easier.  
To create chapters in a title, insert a chapter mark. Playback the content, locate a point where you want to divide, then  
press the CHP DIVIDE button.You can insert a chapter mark also while recording, by pressing the CHP DIVIDE  
button. (A chapter will also be placed in the recording when you pause.)  
The point divides the chapter (into two).You can create multiple chapters by repeating the above operation.  
Notes  
Chapters cannot be created in the following modes:  
Dubbing / Fast-reverse, Fast-forward / Slow-motion  
You cannot divide a title of a DVD-R/RW disc into chapters. It is possible to create chapters in a DVD-R/RW disc by pressing  
the CHP DIVIDE button during recording at the desired points, or by selecting an option that inserts chapter marks  
automatically during recording at regular intervals. (  
page 134)  
If you want to modify the chapter division, or want to place a chapter mark more precisely monitoring the  
frame counter, follow the procedures below.
