∫More about DVD-RAM and DVD-R

DVD-RAM

≥This unit is compatible with the Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM) system so you can record broadcasts that allow one copy, such as some CATV broadcasts, onto 4.7 GB/9.4 GB DVD-RAM (these are CPRM compatible). It is not possible to record onto DVD-R or 2.8 GB DVD-RAM.

≥DVD-RAMs recorded on this unit cannot be played on incompatible players.

≥We recommend using Panasonic’s DVD-RAM, which has confirmed compatibility with this unit.

≥The aspect ratio of the recorded images will be the same as that of the originals.

∫Protection of cartridge disc

You can protect the contents of your discs. ≥With the write-protect tab in the protect

position, you cannot record to, edit, or erase PROTECT from the disc.

DVD-R

≥You can play DVD-R on compatible DVD players by finalizing it on this unit.

≥The aspect ratio of the recorded images will be 4:3.

≥DVD-R can be recorded only in either of these audio types (Main or SAP). Select the desired audio type in “Select MTS” (l 44).

≥Some broadcasts carry signals that allow you to copy once, but you cannot record them with DVD-R. Use DVD-RAM to record these kinds of broadcast.

≥Before finalizing, erasing titles will not increase the disc’s available time.

≥After finalizing, these DVD-R can no longer be recorded on or edited.

≥This unit may not be able to play back DVD-Rs other than Panasonic’s product depending on the recording condition. We recommend using Panasonic’s DVD-R, which has confirmed compatibility with this unit.

≥DVD-R recorded by this unit cannot be reproduced by other Panasonic DVD recorders in some cases.
