§1 The amount of the recordable disc space doesn’t increase even if the programme is deleted when you use discs that can only be used for recording once.

§2 [RAM] Can be played on Panasonic DVD Recorders and DVD-RAM compatible DVD players. If you play a DVD-R DL, +R DL or +RW, use compatible equipment.

The high speed recording discs listed here are compatible with this unit. However, this is not the copy speed. For further information (➡ 8, Important notes for recording)

[Note]

When “Rec for High Speed Copy” is set to “On”, the restrictions on secondary audio recording are also applied to DVD-RAM. Turn this setting “Off” if high speed copy to DVD-R, etc. is not necessary when recording a programme (The default setting is “On”. ➡ 61).

+R discs recorded with this unit and +R discs recorded with another Panasonic DVD Recorder may be incompatible. However, discs that are finalised are compatible and can be played.

You can play 8X recording speed discs recorded on another equipment.

≥We recommend using Panasonic discs and cards. We also recommend using DVD-RAM discs with cartridges to protect them from scratches and dirt.

≥You may not be able to record depending on the condition of the discs and you may not be able to play due to the condition of the recording. ≥You cannot record programmes that allow “One time only recording” to CPRM compatible DVD-R and DVD-RW on this unit.

≥This unit cannot record NTSC signals to discs that already have PAL signal recordings. (However, both types of programmes can be recorded onto the HDD.)

Finalise

A process that makes play of a recorded disc possible on equipment that can play such media. After finalising, the disc becomes play-only and you can no longer record or edit. (➡ 57)

Formatting

Formatting is the process of making media such as DVD-RAM recordable on recording equipment. (➡ 56)

Formatting permanently deletes all contents.

You cannot directly record to a DVD-R DL and +R DL disc on this unit.

Record to the HDD and then copy to the disc.

When playing DVD-R DL (Dual Layer, single-sided) and +R DL (Double Layer, single-sided)

HDD, disc and card information

DVD-R DL (Dual Layer, single-sided) and +R DL (Double Layer, single-sided) discs have two writable layers on one side. If there is not enough space on the first layer to record a programme, the remainder is recorded on the second layer. When playing a title recorded on both layers, the unit automatically switches between layers and plays the title in the same way as a normal programme. However, video and audio may momentarily cut out when the unit is switching layers.

	When switching layers:
	Video and audio may momentarily cut
	Second recordable layer
