Regional codes
DVD-V
A DVD-RW that was recorded on another DVD recorder is played back in 
DVD-VR format by this unit. Programmes limited to "one-time recording" can 
be played back if they were recorded on a CPRM-compatible disc. If you 
format the disc, you can record and playback the DVD-Video format.
Some DVD-Audio with multi-channel sound is designed by the manufacturer to prevent 
intermixing on the entire disc or in certain areas. Depending on the disc type, the regional 
code and the recording conditions, it may not be possible to playback recorded discs.  
Additional information can be found on the disc case.

You can playback data in MP3 and JPEG/TIFF formats from a finalized CD-R, 
CD-RW or DVD-R. After the recording you must finish the session. Depending on the 
recording conditions, playback can nonetheless have problems.
Playback discs
When the write protection divice is 
active, you can neither record to nor 
process and delete the contents of the 
disc.
Cartridge write protection
Remove 8 cm discs from the cartridge 
before using them with this unit.
Only play round discs.
Do not touch the 
recording surface of 
the disc.
RAM
DVD lens cleaner (RP-CL720E)
Compatible models: Only for DVD recorders.
Do NOT use this cleaner with any other Panasonic DVD products or with the DVD 
products of any other companies since doing so may damage the products.
Cleaning the DVD-RAM
Clean the disc with a special DVD-RAM cleaner (optional) and read the cleaner 
instructions before use. Stubborn dirt may not be removable so that recording, 
playback or processing is still impaired even after cleaning. In this case, the disc 
should no longer be used. Do not use petrol, alcohol, water, cleaning sprays, 
household cleaners or other solvents.
If the surface of a disc that does not have a cartridge or that was removed 
from the cartidge is not clean, recording, playback or processing can be impaired by 
scratches, dirt, dust or fingerprints. Such impairments may also still occur when the 
disc is inserted into the cartridge.
Note: You can only write on the label side of the disc. Use a soft, oil-based felt-tip pen. 
Do not use a ball-point pen or other hard writing instrument. Do not apply stickers or 
labels to the disc. When not in use, put the disc in its case or cartridge.
