Disc
Recording
What equipment is necessary to play multi 
channel surround sound?≥ DVD-Video:
You can play DVD-Video multi channel surround by digitally connecting an 
amplifier equipped with a Dolby Digital and a DTS decoder.
≥DV D - Au d i o :
This unit plays DVD-Audio in 2 channels. You cannot play multi channel 
surround sound.9
—

connected to the unit?≥You cannot directly connect to the unit. Connect through the amplifier etc.9
The television has both S-VIDEO IN 
terminal and COMPONENT VIDEO IN 
terminals. Which terminal should I connect 
with?≥We recommend the COMPONENT VIDEO IN terminal. Component signal 
outputs the color difference signals (PB/PR) and luminance signal (Y) 
separately in order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors.
If the television is compatible with progressive output, a high quality picture 
can be output because this unit’s component video output terminal outputs 
a progressive output signal.7
Is my television progressive output 
compatible?≥All Panasonic televisions that have 480P input terminals are compatible. 
Consult the manufacturer if you have another brand of television.—
Can I play DVD-Video, DVD-Audio and 
Video CDs bought in another country?≥You can play them if the video standard is NTSC.
≥However, you cannot play DVD-Video if their region number does not 
include “1” or “All”.—

Can a DVD-Video that does not have a 
region number be played?≥The DVD-Video region number indicates the disc conforms to a standard.

Can a DVD-R recorded on this unit be 
played on other equipment?≥You can play on DVD-R compatible players after finalizing the disc on this 
unit; however, due to the condition of the recording, play may not be

disc?≥You can write to the disc approximately 100,000 times depending upon the 
conditions of use.—

–DTS PCM
However, only
–As long as digital recording from the disc is permitted.
–As long as the recording equipment is compatible with a sampling

Troubleshooting guide
Before requesting service, make the following checks. If you are in doubt about some of the check points, or if the remedies indicated in the chart 
do not solve the problem, refer to the “Customer Services Directory” on page 46 if you reside in the U.S.A., or refer to the “Product information” on 
page 45 if you reside in Canada. In other areas, consult your dealer.
PowerPag e
Displays
TV screen and videoThe following do not indicate a problem with this unit:
≥Regular disc rotating sounds. The sound of the disc rotating may 
become louder especially when finalizing a DVD-R.
≥Poor reception due to atmospheric conditions.≥Image disturbance during search.
≥Interruptions to reception due to periodic satellite broadcasting 
breaks.
No power.≥Insert the AC power supply cord securely into a known active AC outlet.7
The unit switches to the 
standby mode.≥This is a power saving feature. Change “Off Timer” in the SETUP menu, if you would prefer.
≥One of the unit’s safety devices is activated. Press [POWERÍ/I] on the main unit to turn the 
unit on.36
—
The display is dim.≥Change “Front Display” in the SETUP menu.37
“12:00” is flashing on the 
unit’s display.≥Set the clock.38
Compared to the actual 
recorded time, the remaining 
time displayed is less.≥The displayed recording/play time is converted from the number of frames at 29.97 frames 
(equal to 0.999 seconds) to one second. There will be slight a difference between the time 
displayed and the actual elapsed time (e.g., actual one-hour elapsed time may display as 
approximately 59 minutes 56 seconds). This does not affect the recording.—
The time recorded on the disc 
and the available time shown 
do not add up.
The play time shown for MP3 
does not agree with the actual 
time.≥Times shown may disagree with actual times.
≥Even if you erase recorded content from the DVD-R, there is no increase in disc space.
≥More disc space than the actual recording time is used after recording or editing the DVD-R 
200 times or more.
≥While searching, the elapsed time may not display correctly.—
—
—
—
Television reception worsens 
after connecting the unit.≥This can occur because the signals are being divided between the unit and other 
equipment. It can be solved by using a signal booster, available from audio-visual suppliers.—
Status messages do not 
appear.≥Select “Automatic” in “Status Messages” in the SETUP menu.37
The blue background does not 
appear.≥Select “On” in “Blue Background” in the SETUP menu.37
The 4:3 aspect ratio picture 
expands left and right.
Screen size is wrong.≥Use the television to change the aspect. If your television does not have that function, set 
“Progressive” in the Video menu to “OFF”.
≥Check the settings for “TV Type”, “4:3 TV Settings for DVD-Video” or “4:3 TV Settings for 
DVD-RAM” in the SETUP menu.27
37
There is a lot of after-image 
when playing video.≥Set “MPEG-DNR” in the Video menu to “OFF”.27
When playing DVD-Video 
using progressive output, one 
part of the picture 
momentarily appears to be 
doubled up.≥Set “Progressive” in the Video menu to “OFF”. This problem is caused by the editing method 
or material used on DVD-Video, but should be corrected if you use interlace output.27
There is no apparent change 
in picture quality when 
adjusted with the Video menu 
in the on-screen menus.≥The effect is less perceivable with some types of video.—
The images from this unit do 
not appear on the television.
Picture is distorted.≥Make sure that the television is connected to the VIDEO OUT terminal, S-VIDEO OUT 
terminal or COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals on this unit.
≥Make sure that the television’s input setting (e.g., VIDEO 1) is correct.
≥The television isn’t compatible with progressive signals. Press and hold [∫] and [TIME SLIP] 
on the main unit at the same time for about 5 seconds. The setting will change to interlace.7
