Regarding Blu-ray Disc
1. High volume recording
The Blu-ray Disc (BD-RE and BD-R) has a lot more recording capacity compared with the DVD.
When you compare the Blu-ray Disc (single-side dual-layer 50 GB) with the DVD-R (4.7 GB)

HDD (Hard disk drive) handling care
The HDD is a high precision recording instrument and because of its long recording capability and high speed operation it is a very special
device that is easily susceptible to damage.
As a basic rule, save important content to a disc as backup.
■ The HDD is a device that is not built to withstand vibration/shock or dust
Depending on the setup environment and handling of the HDD some content may become damaged and play and recording may no longer be
possible. Especially during operation, do not subject the unit to any vibration, shock, or remove the AC mains lead from the household mains
socket. In the event of a power failure during recording or play, the content may be damaged.
■ The HDD is a temporary storage device
The HDD is not an everlasting storage device for recorded content. Use the HDD as a temporary storage place for one-off viewing, editing, or
copying. It is recommended to save the recorded content on a disc or to keep the original data or CDs that they were copied from.
■ Immediately save (backup) all content as soon as you feel there may be a problem with the HDD
If there is an irregularity within the HDD, repetitive strange sounds or problems with picture (block noise, etc.) may result. Using the HDD in this
condition may worsen the problem and in the worst case the HDD may no longer be usable. As soon as you notice this type of problem, copy all
content to disc and request service. Recorded content (data) on a HDD that has become unusable is unrecoverable.
ꢁWhen the unit is turned on or off, there may be an unexpected sound. This does not indicate a problem with this unit.
■ Setup precautions
■ Cigarette smoke etc. causes malfunction or
ꢁDo not place in an enclosed area where the rear cooling fan
and the cooling vents on the side are covered up.
ꢁPlace the unit on a surface that is flat and not subject to
vibration or impact.
breakdown
The unit may breakdown if cigarette smoke or bug spray/vapor,
etc. gets inside the unit.
■ While operating
ꢁDo not place on anything that generates heat like a video
cassette recorder, etc.
ꢁDo not place in an area often subject to
ꢁDo not move the unit or subject to vibration or impact. (The HDD
may become damaged.)
DO NOT
ꢁDo not remove the AC mains lead from the household mains
socket, or flip the power breaker switch.
While the unit is on, the HDD is rotating at high speed. Sound or
movement due to rotation is normal.
temperature changes.
ꢁPlace in an area where condensation does
not occur. Condensation is a phenomenon
where moisture forms on a cold surface
when there is an extreme change in
temperature. Condensation may cause
internal damage to the unit.
This unit
VCR
■ When moving the unit
1 Turn the unit off. (Wait until “BYE” disappears from the display.)
2 Remove the AC mains lead from the household mains socket.
3 Move only after the unit has come to a complete stop (approx. 2
minutes) in order to avoid subjecting to vibration and shock.
(Even after turning the unit off, the HDD continues operating for
a short time.)
ꢁConditions where condensation may occur
–When there is an extreme change in temperature (moving from
a very hot location to a very cold location, or vice versa, or
when subjected to an air conditioner or when cooled air directly
impacts the unit). When the HDD (warms during operation) is
subjected to cold air, condensation may form on the inside of
the HDD and may cause damage to the HDD heads, etc.
–When there is high humidity or a lot of steam in the room.
–During the rainy season.
In the above situation, without turning the unit on, let the unit
adjust to the room temperature and wait 2–3 hours until
condensation is gone.
■ Indemnity concerning recorded content
Panasonic does not accept any responsibility for damages directly or indirectly due to any type of problems that result in loss of recording or
edited content (data), and does not guarantee any content if recording or editing does not work properly. Likewise, the above also applies in a
case where any type of repair is made to the unit (including any other non-HDD related component).
Unit care
The precision parts in this unit are readily affected by the
environment, especially temperature, humidity, and dust.
Cigarette smoke also can cause malfunction or breakdown.
Do not place the unit on
DO NOT
amplifiers or equipment
that may become hot.
To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
ꢁNever use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit.
ꢁBefore using chemically treated cloth, carefully read the
instructions that came with the cloth.
The heat can damage the unit.
Observe the following points to ensure continued listening and
viewing pleasure.
Dust and dirt may adhere to the unit’s lens over time, making it
impossible to record or play discs.
Use the Lens cleaner (not included) about once every year,
depending on frequency of use and the operating environment.
Carefully read the lens cleaner’s instructions before use.
Note
Do not obstruct the rear panel’s internal cooling fan.
Before moving the unit, ensure the disc tray is
empty.
Failure to do so will risk severely damaging the disc and the
unit.
Lens cleaner: RP-CL720E
ꢁThis lens cleaner may not be for sale depending on the region.

You can set FR (Flexible Recording) mode when copying or recording from external equipment. The unit automatically selects a recording rate
between XP and EP (8 hours) that will enable the recordings to fit in the remaining disc space with the best possible recording quality.
For example with a 90 minute recording to an unused DVD-RAM, the picture quality is adjusted to between “XP” and “SP”.
ꢁWhen recording to the HDD, picture quality is automatically adjusted to precisely fit a copied title on a 4.7 GB disc.

ꢃ1 Recording time of DR mode depends on bit rate of broadcasting.
ꢃ2 It is not possible to record or play continuously from one side of a double sided disc to the other.
ꢃ3 When recording to the HDD in “EP” or “FR (recordings 5 hours or longer)” mode, you cannot perform high-speed copy to +R, +R DL or +RW discs.
ꢃ4
When “Recording time in EP mode” is set to “6 Hours” in the Setup menu (➡ 89).The sound quality is better when using “6 Hours” than when using “8 Hours”.
RAM
ꢁ
When recording to DVD-RAM using “8 Hours” mode, play may not be possible on DVD players that are compatible with DVD-RAM. Use
“6 Hours” mode if playback may be on other equipment.
■ Regarding recording time remaining
This unit records using a VBR (Variable bit rate) data compression system to vary recorded data segments to match video data segments which
may cause differences in the displayed amount of time and space remaining for recording.
If the remaining amount of time is insufficient, delete any unwanted titles to create enough space before you start recording.
ꢁRemaining time in the DR mode is calculated with a bit rate of 15 Mbps. But the bit rate differs depending on the broadcast, so the displayed
remaining time might be different from the actual remaining time.

Linked operations with the TV (VIERA Link “HDAVI ControlTM”)

What is VIERA Link “HDAVI Control”?
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 4” function.
“HDAVI Control 4” is the newest standard (current as of December, 2008) for Panasonic’s HDAVI Control compatible equipment. This
standard is compatible with Panasonic’s conventional HDAVI equipment.

Glossary
AVCHD
Film and video
AVCHD is a new format (standard) for high definition video cameras
DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. This unit can
determine which type has been used, then uses the most suitable
method of progressive output.
that can be used to record and play high-resolution HD images.
BD-J
Film:
Recorded at 25 frames per second (PAL discs) or 24
frames per second (NTSC discs). (NTSC discs
recorded at 30 frames per second as well.)Generally
appropriate for motion picture films.
Some BD-Video discs contain Java applications, and these
applications are called BD-J.You can enjoy various interactive
features in addition to playing normal video.
Bitstream
Video:
Recorded at 25 frames/50 fields per second. (PAL discs)
or 30 frames/60 fields per second (NTSC discs). Generally
appropriate for TV drama programmes or animation.
This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1
channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.
BONUSVIEW™
Finalise
With the new play function of the BD-Video, you can enjoy the
secondary video recorded on the disc, in addition to the main movie.
A process that makes play of a recorded CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R,
etc. possible on equipment that can play such media.
After finalising, the disc becomes play-only and you can no longer
record or edit. However, finalised DVD-RW can be formatted for
recording again.
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.
Folder
This is a place on the hard disk, disc or SD card where groups of
data are stored together. In the case of this unit, it refers to the
place where still pictures (JPEG) and MPEG2, etc. are stored.
Decoder
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on discs to normal. This
is called decoding.
Formatting
Deep Colour
This unit incorporates HDMITM (V.1.3a with Deep Colour) technology
that can reproduce greater colour gradation (4096 steps) when
connected to a compatible TV.
Formatting is the process of making media such as DVD-RAM
recordable on recording equipment.
You can format BD-RE, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW (only as DVD-Video format),
+RW, SD cards and the HDD or unused BD-R, +R and +R DL on this unit.
Formatting permanently deletes all contents.
You can enjoy exceptionally rich, natural-looking colours, with
smooth, detailed gradation and minimal colour banding.
[A lower colour gradation (256 steps), without Deep Colour, will be
reproduced if connected to a TV which does not support Deep
Colour. The unit will automatically set appropriate output to suit the
connected TV.]
Frames and fields
Frames refer to the single images that constitute the video you see
on your television. Each frame consists of two fields.
DivX
=
+
DivX is a popular media technology created by DivX, Inc. DivX
media files contain highly compressed video with high visual quality
that maintains a relatively small file size.
Frame
Field
Field
ꢁA frame still shows two fields, so there may be some blurring, but
picture quality is generally better.
ꢁA field still shows less picture information so it may be rougher, but
there is no blurring.
DNS Server
A server which acts like a telephone directory and translates
Internet domain names into IP addresses.
Dolby Digital
Gateway
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.
IP address of the electronic device providing Internet access.
Usually called a router IP address. (e.g., 192.168.0.1)
HDD (Hard disk drive)
Dolby Digital Plus
Multi-channel audio and higher audio quality is made possible using
Dolby Digital Plus. BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output.
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
reading and writing of large amounts of data at high speed.
Dolby TrueHD
Dolby TrueHD is a very high quality audio format that reproduces
the studio master audio. BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel
output.
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 (750p), 1080i (1125i), 1080p (1125p)]
from HDMI AV OUT terminals. To enjoy high-definition video a high
definition compatible television is required.
Down-mixing
This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found on
some discs into fewer channels.
Hub
Drive
Used for connecting more than one device to the network.
In the instance of this unit, this refers to the hard disk (HDD), disc (BD)
and SD card (SD).These perform the reading and writing of data.
IP address
A set of numbers which distinguish each PC on the network when,
for example, connected to the Internet. When using a PC in a LAN
to access a PC or device that is not included in the LAN, the IP
address is called the local IP address. (e.g., 192.168.0.10)
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.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
DTS-HD
This is a system used for compressing/decoding colour 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.
DTS-HD is a high-quality, sophisticated audio format used in movie
theaters. Previous DTS Digital Surround-compatible equipment can
play DTS-HD as DTS Digital Surround audio. BD-Video supports up
to 7.1 channel output.
LAN (Local Area Network)
Dynamic range
A group of linked devices in a company, school or home.Indicates
the boundaries of a particular network.
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 listen at low
volumes but still hear dialogue clearly.
Local storage
This storage area is used as a destination for sub contents for
playing virtual packages on BD-Video.
LPCM (Linear PCM)
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.
MPEG2 (Moving Picture Experts Group)
A standard for efficiently compressing and expanding colour video.
MPEG2 is a compression standard used for DVD and satellite
based digital broadcasting.
RQT9428
118
MPEG-4AVC/H.264
24p
A standard for efficiently compressing and expanding colour video.
MPEG-4AVC/H.264 is an encoding method used for recording of
the high definition videos.
This is a progressive image recorded at a rate of 24 frames per second.
720p
In one high definition image, 720 (750) scan lines pass at the same
time every 1/50th 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.
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)
An audio compression method that compresses audio to approximately
one tenth of its size without any considerable loss of audio quality.
Pan&Scan/Letterbox
In general, BD-Video and DVD-Video are produced with the
intention that they be viewed on a widescreen television (16:9
aspect ratio), so images often don’t fit regular (4:3 aspect ratio)
televisions. Two styles of picture, “Pan & Scan” and “Letterbox”, deal
with this problem.
Pan & Scan:The sides are cut off so the picture
fills the screen.
Letterbox: Black bands appear at the top and
bottom of the picture so the picture
itself appears in an aspect ratio of
16:9.
Progressive/Interlace
Interlace is a conventional image signal that displays the image in 2
phases by splitting the display into odd and even scans. Progressive
will display whole image in 1 scan. Therefore, it will give high
definition image without flickering compared with interlace.
Protection
You can prevent accidental deletion by setting writing protection or
deletion protection.
Router
Distinguishes the IP address assigned to each device, such as the
PC, and relays the flow of data within the network.
RGB
This refers to the three primary colours of light, red (R), green (G),
and blue (B) and also the method of producing video that uses
them. By dividing the video signal into the three colours for
transmission, noise is reduced for even higher quality images.
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.
Signal Quality
This is the guide for checking the aerial direction. The numbered
values displayed do not indicate the strength of the signal, but the
quality of the signal (the signal to noise ratio, or “S/N”). The
channels you can receive are affected by weather conditions,
seasons, time (day/night), region, length of the cable that is
connected to the aerial, etc.
Subnet mask
Enables efficient network use. A set of numbers which identify which
part of the IP address allocated to every device connected to the
router is the network portion.
Thumbnail
This refers to a miniature representation of a picture used to display
multiple pictures in the form of a list.
VIERA CAST
An information service unique to Panasonic where specific Web
sites can be viewed on this unit by connecting to the Internet
without using a PC.
x.v.ColourTM
x.v.ColourTM is a name for devices that are compatible with the
xvYCC format, an international standard for expanded colour in
motion pictures, and that follow the rules for signal transmission.
You can enjoy vivid colours of wider colour ranges for a more
realistic picture when connected to a TV that supports the
x.v.ColourTM with HDMI cable.
1080i
In one high definition image, 1080 (1125) alternating scan lines
pass every 1/50th of a second to create an interlace image.
Because 1080i (1125i) more than doubles current television
broadcasts of 480i (525i), the detail is much clearer and creates a
more realistic and rich image.
1080p
In one high definition image, 1080 (1125) scan lines pass at the
same time every 1/50th 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.
