Part or all of a recorded title has 
been lost.
 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.
Stripe-shaped black noise is 
recorded.
  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.
  There was a programme change after timer recording was set but the 
recorded title still has the old programme name.
Cannot copy to a DVD-R, etc, disc 
using the high speed mode.
  When recording to the HDD, set “Recording Format” to “Video format” in 
the Setup menu. (The default setting is “Video format”).

  In the following cases, high speed mode does not work, even if the titles 
were recorded with “Recording Format” set to “Video format”.

− [+R] [+R\DL] [+RW] If recorded in “EP” or “FR (recordings 5 hours or 
longer)” mode.

− [-R] [-R\DL] [-RW‹V›] If recorded in 16:9 aspect using “EP” mode or “FR” 
(recordings 5 hours or longer) mode
 [+R] [+R]DL] [+RW] Titles recorded on other Panasonic DVD recorders with 
“Recording Format” (“Rec for High Speed Copy”) set to “Video format” 
(“On”), and then copied to the 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.
 Use a disc that is compatible with high speed recording. Even if the disc 
is high speed recording compatible, the maximum speed may not be 
possible due to the condition of the disc.
 It takes longer than normal to copy many titles.
 You cannot high speed copy to DVD-R titles longer than 6 hours when 
using other Panasonic DVD Recorders that are not compatible with EP (8 
Hours) mode recording.
An unusually loud sound is coming 
from the rotating DVD-R, etc.
 When recording or high speed copying to a DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW 
(DVD-Video format), +R, +R DL and +RW the sound of the disc rotating 
may be louder than normal, however, this is not a problem.

properly.
