DVD-R
You can play DVD-R on compatible DVD players by finalizing 
[the process that allows recordings on DVD-R to be played on 
compatible DVD players, (page 45)] them on this unit, 
effectively making them into DVD-Video.
ªBefore finalizing
You can record onto the available space on the disc and perform 
editing functions, such as giving titles to discs and programmes 
and erasing programmes.
You cannot record to or edit DVD-R with this unit if it was recorded 
with another unit, whether it is finalized or not.
You cannot record over parts that have been recorded.
Erasing programmes will not increase the disc’s available time.
ªAfter finalizing
The video and audio is recorded according to the DVD-Video 
specifications, and your very own DVD-Video is created.
≥The titles you entered with this unit appear as menus.
≥Programmes longer than 5 minutes are divided into five-minute 
chapters.
≥These DVD-R can no longer be recorded on or edited.
≥These DVD-R can be played on other DVD players, but this is not 
guaranteed.
Play may not be possible due to the player you are using, the 
DVD-R, or the condition of the recording. Use this unit to play the 
disc if the player is unable. 
For your reference
≥It takes about 30 seconds for the unit to complete recording 
management information after recording finishes.
≥To record on DVD-R, this unit optimizes the disc for each 
recording. Optimizing is carried out when you start recording after 
inserting the disc or turning the unit on. Recording may become 
impossible after the disc is optimized more than 50 times.
≥The first 30 seconds of a programme may not be recorded if you 
make successive timer recordings.
≥The video is recorded in a 4:3 aspect irrespective of the video 
signal input. Use the television's screen modes to change the 
screen size for play.
≥Some broadcasts carry signals that allow you to make one copy, 
but you cannot record these broadcast with DVD-R. 
Use DVD-RAM to record these kinds of broadcast.
≥Play may be impossible in some cases due the condition of the 
recording.
≥We recommend using DVD-R manufactured by Panasonic as 
they have been tested to be compatible with this unit.
≥You cannot change audio type if a DVD-R is in the unit. Select 
the audio type (M1 or M2) before recording by going to “Bilingual 
Audio Selection” in the “Sound” menu.
≥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.
