§1 The amount of the recordable disc space doesn’t increase even if the programme is deleted when you use one time recording disc. §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)

+R discs recorded with this unit and +R discs recorded with another Panasonic DVD Recorder may be incompatible. However, discs that are finalized 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.You can record other

programmes as DVD-Video format.

≥This unit cannot record to discs containing both PAL and NTSC signals. (However, both types of programmes can be recorded onto the HDD.) Play of discs recorded with both PAL and NTSC on another unit is not guaranteed.

[Note]

When “Rec for High Speed Copy” is set to “On”, the restrictions on secondary audio recording etc. 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 (➡ 22).

Finalize

A process that makes play of a recorded disc possible on equipment that can play such media. After finalizing, the disc becomes play-only and you can no longer record or edit. (➡ 55)

HDD, disc and card information

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)

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 balance 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
