HDD, disc and card information
≥ We recommend using Panasonic discs. DVD-R from other manufacturers may not be recorded or played due to the condition of the recording.
≥ 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.
Which should I use, DVD-RAM or DVD-R?
The following chart indicates the differences. Select based upon
what you require.
[Note]
When “DVD-R Rec for High Speed mode” is set to “On” the
restrictions on secondary audio recording etc. are also applied to
DVD-RAM. Turn this setting “Off” if high speed transfer (dubbing) to
DVD-R is not necessary when recording a programme (
➡ page 46).
≥ This unit plays CD-R/CD-RW discs (audio recording discs) which
have been recorded under one of the following standards: CD-DA,
MP3 and Video CD. Close the session or finalize the disc after
recording.
Play may be impossible on some CD-R or CD-RW discs due to the
condition of the recording.
≥ The producer of the discs 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.
