– 12-cm (5z), 2.6- and 5.2-GB DVD-RAM
– 3.95- and 4.7-GB DVD-R for Authoring
– DVD-RAM not recorded following the Video Recording Standard
– Unfinalized DVD-R recorded on other equipment
≥This unit is compatible with the Content Protection for Recordable
Media (CPRM➜page 66) 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.
≥We recommend using Panasonic discs as they have been
confirmed 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
recording 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 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 disc.
≥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.
≥In order to play a DVD-R recorded using this unit on another
playback source, the disc must first be finalized (➜page 38).
≥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
management 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
impossible 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
signal input.
≥The producer of the material can control how DVD-Video and
Video CDs 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 instructions carefully.
≥This unit can play CD-DA (digital audio) and Video CD format
(Video CD Format 2.0 or above), audio CD-R and CD-RW that
have been finalized upon completion of recording.
It may not be able to play some CD-R or CD-RW due to the
condition of the recording.
