equipment, press [EXT LINK]. (“EXT-L” on the unit’s display
disappears.) (> 30)

finishes.

Part or all of a recorded title has been lost.
¾ If the power shuts down or the AC mains lead is
disconnected from the household mains socket while
recording or editing, the title may be lost or the HDD/disc
may become unusable. We cannot offer any guarantee
regarding lost titles or discs. You will have to format the disc
([HDD] [RAM] [-RW‹V›] [+RW]) or use a new disc. (> 76)
Cannot copy VHS to HDD/DVD.
¾ The disc is protected with the “DVD Management” settings.

List screen, etc. are displayed.

copy-protected to prevent illegal reproductions.
Copy-protected DVDs cannot be properly recorded.
The sound level after editing is not equal on HDD/

depending on the disc.
When the sound level in a particular part of the sound
source is soft or loud, the sound may be recorded loudly or
softly on a video tape.
Stripe-shaped black noise is recorded.
¾ An external playback device is interfering with the TV
because the device is too close to the TV. Move the device
away from the TV.
The programme name and the recorded title do not
match.

set but the recorded title still has the old programme name.
Cannot copy to a DVD-R, etc, disc using the high
speed mode.
¾ When recording to the HDD, set “Recording Format” to
“Video format” in the Setup menu. (The default setting is
“Video format”). (> 80)

HDD on this unit may not copy to +R, +R DL or +RW discs
with high-speed copy.
When copying, it takes a long time even in high
speed mode.

Even if the disc is high speed recording compatible, the
maximum speed may not be possible due to the condition
of the disc.

hours when using other Panasonic DVD Recorders that are

however, this is not a problem.
