Before Use
[[DVD]]
≥On DVD-Audio, DVD-Video and Video CD, the producer of the material can control how these discs are played. This means that you may
not be able to control play of a disc with some operations described in these operating instructions. Read the disc’s information for details.
The features you can use with the different types of disc are as follows.
° Possible operations (≤: enable t: disable)
°° The remaining capacity of the disc will not be increased even if erased.
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 originals.

≥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

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