∫DVD Video Recording format
This is a recording method which allows you to record and edit TV
broadcasts and so on.
≥Digital broadcasts that allow “One time only recording” can be
recorded to a CPRM compatible disc. You can record to CPRM
compatible DVD-RAM on this unit.
≥Play is only possible on a compatible DVD player.
Use a DVD-RAM to record in DVD Video Recording format.
∫DVD-Video format
This recording method is the same as commercially available DVD-
Video.
≥Digital broadcasts that allow “One time only recording” cannot be
recorded.
≥These can be played on a DVD player. However programs
recorded on this unit must be finalized to be played on other DVD
players.
Use a DVD-R, DVD-R DL or DVD-RW to record in DVD-Video format.
° Play may be impossible on some DVD-RW (DVD Video Recording format), CD-R or CD-RW discs due to the condition of the recording.
≥You can play still pictures (JPEG/TIFF), CD-DA, Video CD and MP3 format data recorded on CD-R/RW. Close the session or finalize the disc
after recording.
≥The producer of the disc can control how discs are played. So you may not always be able to control play as described in these operating
instructions. Read the disc’s instructions carefully.
Note about using a DualDisc
The digital audio content side of a DualDisc does not meet the technical specifications of the Compact Disc Digital Audio (CD-DA) format so play
may not be possible.

Regarding DVD-Audio
Some multi-channel DVD-Audio will prevent down-mixing (l 68) of all or part of their contents if this is the manufacturer’s intention. Tracks
that are prevented from being down-mixed will not play properly on this unit (e.g. audio is played from the front two channels only). Refer to
the disc’s jacket for more information.
Discs that cannot be played
Concerning logo marks
Dolby Digital (l 57)
This is a method of coding digital signals
developed by Dolby Laboratories. Not only stereo
(2 channel) audio, these signals can also be multi-
channel audio. A large amount of audio
information can be recorded on one disc by this
method.
DTS Digital Surround (l 57)
This surround system is used in many movie
theaters around the world. The separation
between channels is good and the compression
ratio is low, so realistic sound effects are possible.
The manufacturer accepts no responsibility and offers no compensation for loss of recorded or edited material due to a problem with
the unit or recordable media, and accepts no responsibility and offers no compensation for any subsequent damage caused by such
loss.
Examples of causes of such losses are
≥A disc recorded and edited with this unit is played in a DVD Recorder or computer disc drive manufactured by another company.
≥A disc used as described above and then played again in this unit.
≥A disc recorded and edited with a DVD Recorder or computer disc drive manufactured by another company is played in this unit.
Disc information
∫When recording an SAP program to DVD-R, etc.
Select the audio to record before recording or transferring (copying).
Some television programs are broadcast in SAP (Secondary Audio Program). You have to select the audio recording type before recording or
transferring (copying) them to DVD-R, etc.
∫Playing the disc on other DVD players
The disc must be finalized after recording or transferring (Copying) (l 55).
It is necessary to finalize DVD-R, etc. on this unit after recording or transferring (copying) titles to them. You can then play them as a
commercially sold DVD-Video. However the discs become play-only and you can no longer record or transfer (copy).°
° You can record and transfer (copy) again if you format DVD-RW.
∫Recording to a DVD-R DL and +R DL
DVD-R DL and +R DL discs have two layers of recording surface on one side.
It is not possible to record continuously from the first layer to the second layer. Recording stops when space on the first layer becomes full.
You must close the first layer to start recording on the second layer. Closing makes the first layer unavailable for recording (editing is still
available). You cannot cancel closing. Make certain before proceeding.
Using DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW, +R, +R DL and +RW on this unit
Restrictions with DVD-R, etc.°
≥16:9 aspect programs are recorded in 4:3 aspect.
≥Either Main or SAP can be recorded for MTS broadcasts.
≥Playing the disc on other DVD players is not possible before finalizing.

Video cassette information
∫Video cassettes
≥Break off the video cassette’s tab to prevent accidental erasure. Cover the hole with a double layer of
adhesive tape when you want to use the video cassette for recording again.
≥You can use video cassettes with the VHS and S-VHS marks, but the unit is unable to make full use of the
characteristics of S-VHS video cassettes.
∫Video cassette care
≥Poor quality or damaged video cassettes can cause the heads to become dirty and malfunction. Store your video cassettes carefully and
discard them when they become dirty or damaged.
≥Never use video cassettes on which juice has been spilled or those that are extremely damaged since this will not only cause the heads to
become dirty, but will also make the unit malfunction.
∫Maintenance
Cleaning the video heads
Dirt on the video heads can cause poor recording and play.
If the picture does not improve, use an optional head-cleaning cassette (part number NV-
TCL30PT). If the problem persists, seek advice from a qualified service person.
You can enjoy both DVD and VHS with the unit.

What equipment is
necessary to play multi
channel surround sound?
≥DVD-Video:
You can play DVD-Video multi channel surround by digitally connecting an amplifier equipped with a
Dolby Digital and a DTS decoder.
≥DVD-Audio:
This unit plays DVD-Audio in 2 channels. You cannot play multi channel surround sound.

Can the headphones and
speakers be directly
connected to the unit?
≥You cannot directly connect to the unit. Connect through the amplifier etc.
15
The TV has both S VIDEO IN
terminal and COMPONENT
VIDEO IN terminals. Which
terminal should I connect
with?
≥We recommend the COMPONENT VIDEO IN terminal. Component signal outputs the color
difference signals (PB/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high fidelity in
reproducing colors. If the TV is compatible with progressive output, a high quality picture can be
output because the unit’s component video output terminal outputs a progressive output signal.
15
Is my TV progressive output
compatible?
≥All Panasonic TVs that have 480p input terminals are compatible. Consult the manufacturer if you
have another brand of TV.
–
Can I play DVD-Video, DVD-
Audio and Video CDs bought
in another country?
≥You can play them if the video standard is NTSC.
≥However, you cannot play DVD-Video if its region number does not include “1” or “ALL”.

Please tell me about DVD-R,
DVD-R DL, DVD-RW, +R,
+R DL and +RW
compatibility with the unit.

not possible.
–
Can DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-
RW (DVD-Video format), +R,
+R DL and +RW recorded on
the unit be played on other
equipment?
≥You can play on compatible equipment such as DVD players after finalizing the disc on this unit. It is
not necessary to finalize +RW. However, depending on the condition of the recording, the quality of
the disc and capabilities of the DVD player, play may not be possible. To enable play on other DVD
players, please use “Create DVD Top Menu” in the DVD management menu.

example, is recorded digitally.)
–
Can a digital audio signal
from the unit be recorded to
other equipment?
≥You can record if using the PCM signal. When recording DVD, change the “Digital Audio Output”
settings to the following from the Setup menu.
- PCM Down Conversion “On”
- Dolby Digital “PCM”
- DTS “PCM”
However, only
- As long as digital recording from the disc is permitted.

Product Service/Specifications
This is a signal compressed and converted into digital form. It is
converted back to a multi-channel audio signal, e.g., 5.1-channel, by
a decoder.
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.
Decoder
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This
is called decoding.
Down-mixing
This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found on
some discs into two channels. It is useful when you want to listen to
the 5.1-channel audio recorded on DVDs through your TV’s
speakers. Some discs prohibit down-mixing. If this is the case, this
unit can only output the front two channels.
Dynamic range
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 hear dialog clearly at low volume.
Film and Video
DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. The unit can
determine which type has been used, then uses the most suitable
method of progressive output.
≥Film is 24 or 30 frames per second, with motion picture film
generally being 24 frames per second.
≥Video is 60 fields per second (2 fields making up 1 frame).
Finalize
A process that makes play of a recorded CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R,
etc. possible on equipment that can play such media. You can
finalize DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW (DVD-Video format), +R and
+R DL on the unit. After finalizing, the disc becomes play-only and
you can no longer record or edit. However, finalized DVD-RW can
be formatted to become recordable.
Formatting
Formatting is the process of making media such as DVD-RAM
recordable on recording equipment.
You can format DVD-RAM, DVD-RW (only as DVD-Video format)
and +RW on the unit.
Formatting irrevocably erases all contents on the disc.
Frame and field
Frame refers to the single images that constitute the video you see
on your TV. Each frame consists of 2 fields.
Frame
Field
Field
≥A frame still shows 2 fields, so there may be some blurring
between them, but picture quality is generally better.
≥A field still shows less picture information so it may be rougher, but
there is no blurring.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
This is a system used for compressing/decoding color 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.
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. You can play MP3s you have recorded onto CD-R and
CD-RW.
Pan & Scan/Letterbox
In general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention that they will
be viewed on a widescreen TV (16:9 aspect ratio), so images often
don’t fit regular TVs (4:3 aspect ratio). 2 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.
Playback control (PBC)
If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and
information with menus displayed on the screen.
(The unit is compatible with version 2.0 and 1.1.)
Progressive/Interlace
NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (i) scan lines,
whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines.
This is called 480p.
Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution video
recorded on media such as DVD-Video.
Your TV must be compatible to enjoy progressive video.
Protection
You can prevent accidental erasure by setting writing protection or
erasure protection.
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.
Thumbnail
This refers to a miniature representation of a picture used to display
multiple pictures in the form of a list.
TIFF (Tag Image File Format)
This is a system used for compressing/decoding color still pictures, a
common format for storing high quality images on digital cameras
and other devices.
