≥We recommend using Panasonic discs as they have been con-

Setting

 

 

firmed to be compatible with this unit. Other discs may not perform

 

 

correctly.

≥Do not allow the disc to become dirty or scratched. Fingerprints, dirt, dust, scratches or deposits of cigarette smoke on the record- ing surface may make it impossible to use the disc for recording.

≥Discs with programs recorded in PAL already cannot be recorded on using this unit.

DVD-RAM

≥DVD-RAM recorded on this unit may not be compatible with other DVD players, including some Panasonic players. Con- sult the manual for the player to determine compatibility with these DVD-RAM discs.

≥This unit is compatible with both non-cartridge and cartridge DVD-RAM, but the write-protect tabs on cartridge-type discs give better protection to your recordings.

≥Picture aspect ratios, regular 4:3 or widescreen 16:9, are recorded as they are received.

DVD-R

≥In order to play a DVD-R recorded using this unit on another playback source, the disc must first be finalized (➜ page 36).

≥Once a DVD-R is finalized, it becomes DVD-Video.

≥You can record onto the available space on the disc and perform editing functions, such as giving titles to discs and programs and erasing programs before finalizing.

≥When programming is erased from a DVD-R, that space does not become available. Once an area on a DVD-R is recorded on, that area is no longer available for recording, whether the recording is erased or not.

≥It takes about 30 seconds for the unit to complete recording man- agement information after recording finishes.

≥This unit optimizes the DVD-R for each recording. Optimizing is carried out when you start recording after inserting the disc or turning on the unit. Recording onto the disc may become impossi- ble if optimizing is carried out too many times.

≥Play may be impossible in some cases due the condition of the recording.

≥The video is recorded in a 4:3 aspect irrespective of the video sig- nal input.

≥A DVD-R recorded on this unit may not be recordable on other Panasonic DVD recorders.

Protection

You can protect the contents of your discs in the following ways.
