HDD (Hard disk drive) handling care  
The HDD is a high precision recording instrument and because of its long recording capability and high speed operation it is a very special device  
that is easily susceptible to damage.  
As a basic rule, save important content to a disc as backup.  
The HDD is a device that is not built to withstand vibration/shock or dust  
Depending on the setup environment and handling of the HDD some content may become damaged and play and recording may no longer be  
possible. Especially during operation, do not subject the unit to any vibration, shock, or remove the AC mains lead from the household mains  
socket. In the event of a power failure during recording or play, the content may be damaged.  
The HDD is a temporary storage device  
The HDD is not an everlasting storage device for recorded content. Use the HDD as a temporary storage place for one-off viewing, editing, or  
copying. It is recommended to save the recorded content on a disc or to keep the original data or CDs that they were copied from.  
Immediately save (backup) all content as soon as you feel there may be a problem with the HDD  
If there is an irregularity within the HDD, repetitive strange sounds or problems with picture (block noise, etc.) may result. Using the HDD in this  
condition may worsen the problem and in the worst case the HDD may no longer be usable. As soon as you notice this type of problem, copy all  
content to disc and request service. Recorded content (data) on a HDD that has become unusable is unrecoverable.  
When the unit is turned on or off, there may be an unexpected sound. This does not indicate a problem with this unit.  
Setup precautions  
Cigarette smoke etc. causes malfunction or  
Do not place in an enclosed area where the rear cooling  
fan and the cooling vents on the side are covered up.  
Place the unit on a surface that is flat and not subject to  
vibration or impact.  
breakdown  
The unit may breakdown if cigarette smoke or bug spray/vapor,  
etc. gets inside the unit.  
Do not place on anything that  
While operating  
generates heat like a video cassette  
recorder, etc.  
DO NOT  
Do not move the unit or subject to vibration or impact. (The  
HDD may become damaged.)  
Do not place in an area often subject to  
temperature changes.  
Do not remove the AC mains lead from the household mains  
socket, or flip the power breaker switch.  
While the unit is on, the HDD is rotating at high speed. Sound or  
movement due to rotation is normal.  
This unit  
VCR  
Place in an area where condensation  
does not occur. Condensation is a  
phenomenon where moisture forms on a  
cold surface when there is an extreme  
change in temperature. Condensation may cause internal  
damage to the unit.  
When moving the unit  
1 Turn the unit off. (Wait until “BYE” disappears from the  
display.)  
2 Remove the AC mains lead from the household mains socket.  
3 Move only after the unit has come to a complete stop (approx.  
2 minutes) in order to avoid subjecting to vibration and shock.  
(Even after turning the unit off, the HDD continues operating  
for a short time.)  
Conditions where condensation may occur  
When there is an extreme change in temperature (moving  
from a very hot location to a very cold location, or vice versa,  
or when subjected to an air conditioner or when cooled air  
directly impacts the unit). When the HDD (warms during  
operation) is subjected to cold air, condensation may form on  
the inside of the HDD and may cause damage to the HDD  
heads, etc.  
When there is high humidity or a lot of steam in the room.  
During the rainy season.  
In the above situation, without turning the unit on, let the unit  
adjust to the room temperature and wait 2–3 hours until  
condensation is gone.  
Indemnity concerning recorded content  
Panasonic does not accept any responsibility for damages directly or indirectly due to any type of problems that result in loss of recording or  
edited content (data), and does not guarantee any content if recording or editing does not work properly. Likewise, the above also applies in a  
case where any type of repair is made to the unit (including any other non-HDD related component).  
Unit care  
The precision parts in this unit are readily affected by the  
DO NOT  
environment, especially temperature, humidity, and dust.  
Cigarette smoke also can cause malfunction or breakdown.  
Do not place the unit on  
amplifiers or equipment  
that may become hot.  
The heat can damage the unit.  
To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.  
Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit.  
Before using chemically treated cloth, carefully read the  
instructions that came with the cloth.  
Observe the following points to ensure continued listening and  
viewing pleasure.  
Dust and dirt may adhere to the unit’s lens over time, making it  
impossible to record or play discs.  
Use the Lens cleaner (not included) about once every year,  
depending on frequency of use and the operating environment.  
Carefully read the lens cleaner’s instructions before use.  
[Note]  
Do not obstruct the rear panel’s internal cooling fan.  
Before moving the unit, ensure the disc tray is empty.  
Failure to do so will risk severely damaging the disc and the  
unit.  
Lens cleaner: RP-CL720E  
This lens cleaner may not be for sale depending on the region.

Regarding recording time remaining  
This unit records using a VBR (Variable bit rate) data compression system to vary recorded data segments to match video data segments which  
may cause differences in the displayed amount of time and space remaining for recording.  
If the remaining amount of time is insufficient, delete any unwanted titles to create enough space before you start recording.  
Remaining time in the DR mode is calculated with a bit rate of 15 Mbps. But the bit rate differs depending on the broadcast, so the displayed  
remaining time might be different from the actual remaining time.  
Maximum number of titles that can be recorded  
[HDD]  
You can record up to 499 titles on HDD. (When continuously recording for long durations, titles are automatically divided every 8 hours.)  
[RAM] [-R] [-R]DL] [-RW‹V›]  
You can record up to 99 titles on one disc.  
[+R] [+R]DL] [+RW]  
You can record up to 49 titles on one disc.  
FR (Flexible Recording Mode)  
You can set FR (Flexible Recording) mode when copying or programming timer recordings.  
The unit automatically selects a recording rate between XP and EP (8 hours) that will enable the recordings to fit in the remaining disc space with  
the best possible recording quality.  
For example with a 90 minute recording to an unused DVD-RAM, the picture quality is adjusted to between “XP” and “SP”.  
When recording to the HDD, picture quality is automatically adjusted to precisely fit a copied title on a 4.7 GB disc.

Linked operations with the TV (VIERA Link “HDAVI ControlTM”)  
You can enjoy linked operations with the TV and receiver by using “HDAVI Control”.  
What is VIERA Link “HDAVI Control”?  
VIERA Link “HDAVI Control” is a convenient function that offers linked operations of this unit, and a Panasonic TV (VIERA) or  
receiver under “HDAVI Control”. You can use this function by connecting the equipment with the HDMI cable. See the operating  
instructions for connected equipment for operational details.  
VIERA Link “HDAVI Control”, based on the control functions provided by HDMI which is an industry standard known as HDMI CEC  
(Consumer Electronics Control), is a unique function that we have developed and added. As such, its operation with other manufacturers’  
equipment that supports HDMI CEC cannot be guaranteed.  
This unit supports “HDAVI Control 3” function.  
“HDAVI Control 3” is the newest standard (current as of December, 2007) for Panasonic’s HDAVI Control compatible equipment. This  
standard is compatible with Panasonic’s conventional HDAVI equipment.

Glossary  
AVCHD  
Formatting  
AVCHD is a new format (standard) for high definition video cameras  
that can be used to record and play high-resolution HD images.  
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),  
+RW, SD cards and the HDD or unused +R and +R DL on this unit.  
Formatting permanently deletes all contents.  
Bitstream  
This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel)  
before it is decoded into its various channels.  
Frames and fields  
Frames refer to the single images that constitute the video you see  
on your television. Each frame consists of two fields.  
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.  
u
r
Decoder  
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on discs to normal. This  
is called decoding.  
Frame  
Field  
Field  
A frame still shows two fields, so there may be some blurring, but  
picture quality is generally better.  
A field still shows less picture information so it may be rougher, but  
there is no blurring.  
DNS Server  
A server which acts like a telephone directory and translates Internet  
domain names into IP addresses.  
Dolby Digital  
Gateway  
This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby  
Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can  
also be multi-channel audio.  
IP address of the electronic device providing Internet access.  
Usually called a router IP address. (e.g., 192.168.0.1)  
HDD (Hard disk drive)  
Down-mixing  
This is a mass data storage device used in computers, etc. A disk  
with a surface that has been treated with magnetic fluid is spun and  
a magnetic head is brought in close proximity to facilitate the reading  
and writing of large amounts of data at high speed.  
This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found on  
some discs into fewer channels.  
Drive  
In the instance of this unit, this refers to the hard disk (HDD), disc  
(DVD) and SD card (SD). These perform the reading and writing of  
data.  
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)  
Unlike conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed digital  
video and audio signals on a single cable. This unit supports high-  
definition video output [720p (750p), 1080i (1125i), 1080p (1125p)]  
from HDMI AV OUT terminals. To enjoy high-definition video a high  
definition compatible television is required.  
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)  
This surround system is used in many movie theaters. There is good  
separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are  
possible.  
Hub  
Dynamic range  
Used for connecting more than one device to the network.  
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.  
IP address  
A set of numbers which distinguish each PC on the network when,  
for example, connected to the Internet. When using a PC in a LAN to  
access a PC or device that is not included in the LAN, the IP address  
is called the local IP address. (e.g., 192.168.0.10)  
Dynamic range compression means reducing the gap between the  
loudest and softest sounds. This means you can listen at low  
volumes but still hear dialogue clearly.  
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)  
Film and video  
This is a system used for compressing/decoding colour 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.  
DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. This unit can  
determine which type has been used, then uses the most suitable  
method of progressive output.  
Film:  
Recorded at 25 frames per second (PAL discs) or 24  
frames per second (NTSC discs). (NTSC discs  
recorded at 30 frames per second as well.)  
Generally appropriate for motion picture films.  
Recorded at 25 frames/50 fields per second. (PAL  
discs) or 30 frames/60 fields per second (NTSC discs).  
Generally appropriate for TV drama programmes or  
animation.  
LAN (Local Area Network)  
A group of linked devices in a company, school or home.  
Indicates the boundaries of a particular network.  
Video:  
LPCM (Linear PCM)  
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on  
CDs.  
Finalise  
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 finalise  
DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW (DVD-Video format), +R, +R DL on this  
unit.  
After finalising, the disc becomes play-only and you can no longer  
record or edit. However, finalised DVD-RW can be formatted for  
recording again.  
MPEG2 (Moving Picture Experts Group)  
A standard for efficiently compressing and expanding colour video.  
MPEG2 is a compression standard used for DVD and satellite based  
digital broadcasting.  
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264  
A standard for efficiently compressing and expanding colour video.  
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 is an encoding method used for recording of  
the high definition videos.  
Folder  
This is a place on the hard disk, disc or SD card where groups of  
data are stored together. In the case of this unit, it refers to the place  
where still pictures (JPEG) and MPEG2, etc. are stored.  
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.  
Pan&Scan/Letterbox  
In general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention that they be  
viewed on a widescreen television (16:9 aspect ratio), so images  
often don’t fit regular (4:3 aspect ratio) televisions. Two 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.

Progressive/Interlace  
Structure of folders displayed by this unit  
You can play MP3 and still pictures (JPEG) on this unit by  
making folders as shown below. However depending on the  
method of writing data (writing software), play may not be in the  
order you numbered the folders.  
Interlace is a conventional image signal that displays the image in 2  
phases by splitting the display into odd and even scans.  
Progressive will display whole image in 1 scan. Therefore, it will give  
high definition image without flickering compared with interlace.  
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.

Signal Quality  
This is the guide for checking the aerial direction. The numbered  
values displayed do not indicate the strength of the signal, but the  
quality of the signal (the signal to noise ratio, or “S/N”). The channels  
you can receive are affected by weather conditions, seasons, time  
(day/night), region, length of the cable that is connected to the aerial,  
etc.

In one high definition image, 1080 (1125) alternating scan lines pass  
every 1/50th of a second to create an interlace image. Because  
1080i (1125i) more than doubles current television broadcasts of  
480i (525i), the detail is much clearer and creates a more realistic  
and rich image.

Since progressive video does not alternate scan lines like interlace,  
there is a minimal amount of screen flicker.

Safety precautions  
Foreign matter  
Placement  
Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can cause electric  
shock or malfunction.  
Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric shock or  
malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the unit from the  
power supply and contact your dealer.  
Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain  
flammable gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.  
Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight, high  
temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These  
conditions can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby  
shortening the unit’s service life.  
Do not place heavy items on the unit.  
Voltage  
Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the unit  
and cause a fire.  
Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when  
setting the unit up on a ship or other place where DC is used.  
Service  
Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is  
interrupted, indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any other  
problem that is not covered in these instructions occurs, disconnect  
the AC mains lead and contact your dealer or an authorized service  
centre. Electric shock or damage to the unit can occur if the unit is  
repaired, disassembled or reconstructed by unqualified persons.  
AC mains lead protection  
Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not  
damaged. Poor connection and lead damage can cause fire or  
electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or place heavy items on the lead.  
Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the AC  
mains lead can cause electric shock.  
Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the power  
source if it is not to be used for a long time.  
Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric  
shock.
