This chart shows the different type of cards recorded with other devices that you can use.
In these operating instructions, the cards shown in the table (Dbelow) are comprehensively called SD cards.
* Including miniSD Card and microSD Card
≥ A miniSD Card and a microSD Card must be used with the 
attached adaptor that comes with the card.
≥ When using from 4 GB to 32 GB SD cards, only SD cards 
that display the SDHC logo can be used.
≥ This unit is compatible with SD Memory Cards that meet 
SD Card Specifications FAT12 and FAT16 formats, as well 
as SDHC Memory Cards in FAT32 format. ≥
Usable memory is slightly less than the card capacity.
≥ If the SD card is formatted on a PC, you may not be able to use it on 
this unit.
≥ We recommend using a Panasonic SD card.
Please confirm the latest information on the following website. 
http://panasonic.co.jp/pavc/global/cs  
(This site is in English only.)
≥ Keep the Memory Card out of reach of children to prevent 
swallowing.
≥ When a card recorded in the AVCHD format is being played, the 
video may be paused for a few seconds at portions spliced, due to 
deletion or edition.
≥ Switch the write-protect switch to the “LOCK” position to protect the 
content from accidental erasure.
Many BD-Video movie contents are recorded in 24 frames/second in accordance with the film materials. However, they will normall y be output in 
60 frames/second in accordance with the display format.
These can be output in 24p as the original. Therefore, high-quality video can be enjoyed, with improved clarity, enhanced persp ective, etc.
NECESSARY CONNECTIONS
≥ Connect to a TV supporting 1080/24p input via an HDMI cable.
NECESSARY SETTINGS
≥ “24p Output”: “On” ( >39)
Disc and card 
handling
Clean discs
Wipe with a damp cloth and then wipe dry.
Disc and card handling precautions≥Handle discs by the edges to avoid inadvertent scratches or 
fingerprints on the disc.
≥ Do not attach labels or stickers to discs (This may cause disc 
warping, rendering it unusable).
≥ Do not write on the label side with a ball-point pen or other writing 
instrument.
≥ Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzine, thinner, static electricity 
prevention liquids or any other solvent.
≥ Do not use scratch-proof protectors or covers.
≥ Clean any dust, water, or foreign matter from the terminals on the 
rear side of the card.
≥ Do not use the following discs:
– Discs with exposed adhesive from removed stickers or labels 
(rented discs etc).
– Discs that are badly warped or cracked.
– Irregularly shaped discs, such as heart shapes.
Maintenance
Clean this unit with a soft, dry cloth≥ Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit.
≥ Before using chemically treated cloth, carefully read the instructions 
that came with the cloth.
Observe the following points to ensure continued listening and 
viewing pleasure.
Dust and dirt may adhere to the unit’s lens over time, making it 
impossible to play discs.
Use the lens cleaner (not included) about once every year, depending 
on frequency of use and the operating environment. Carefully read the 
lens cleaner’s instructions before use.
To dispose or 
transfer this unit
This unit may record information of your operating procedures. If you 
discard this unit either by disposal or transfer, then follow the 
procedures to return all the settings to the factory presets to delete the 
recorded information. ( >47, “To return to the factory preset.”)
