Maintenance/HDD, disc and card handling
The precision parts in this unit are readily affected by the 
environment, especially temperature, humidity, and dust. 
Cigarette smoke also can cause malfunction or breakdown.
To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
≥Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit.
≥Before using chemically treated cloth, read the instructions that 
came with the cloth carefully.
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 record or play discs. 
Use the DVD-RAM/PD lens cleaner (LF-K123LCA1, where 
available) about once every year, depending on frequency of use 
and the operating environment. Read the lens cleaner’s instructions 
carefully before use.
∫How to hold a disc or 
card
Do not touch the recorded 
surface or the terminal surface.
∫If there is dirt or condensation on the disc[RAM] [DVD-R]
≥Clean with an optional DVD-RAM/PD disc cleaner (LF-K200DCA1, 
where available).
≥Do not use cleaners for CDs or cloths.
[DVD-A] [DVD-V] [VCD] [CD]
Wipe with a damp cloth and then wipe dry.
∫Handling precautions≥Do not attach labels or stickers to discs. (This may cause disc 
warping and un-balanced rotation, 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.
≥Do not expose the terminals of the card to water, garbage or other 
strange things.
≥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.
≥Do not place in the following areas:
–In direct sunlight.
–In very dusty or humid areas.
–Near a heater.
–Where static electricity or electromagnetic waves occur
The HDD is a high precision recording instrument and because of its 
long recording capability and high speed operation it is a very 
special device that is easily susceptible to damage.
As a basic rule, save important video content to a DVD disc as 
backup.
∫The HDD is a device that is not built to withstand 
vibration/shock or dust
Depending on the setup environment and handling of the HDD some 
content may become damaged and play and recording may no 
longer be possible. Especially during operation, do not subject the 
unit to any vibration, shock, or remove the AC power plug from the 
household AC outlet. In the event of a power failure the content, 
during recording or play, may be damaged.
∫The HDD is a temporary storage deviceThe HDD is not an everlasting storage device for recorded content. 
Use the HDD as a temporary storage place for viewing once, editing, 
or for saving to a DVD disc. 
∫Immediately save (backup) all content as soon 
as you feel there may be problem with the HDD
If there is an irregularity within the HDD, strange sounds or problems 
with picture (block noise, etc.) may result. Using the HDD in this 
condition may worsen the problem and in the worst case the HDD may no longer become usable. As soon as you notice this type of 
problem, save all content to the DVD disc.
Recorded content (data) on an HDD that has become unusable is 
unrecoverable.
∫HDD recording time remainingThis unit records using a VBR (Variable bit rate) data compression 
system to vary recorded data segments to match video data 
segments which may cause differences in the displayed amount of 
time and space remaining for recording.
If the remaining amount of time is insufficient, erase any unwanted 
titles to create enough space before you start recording. (Erasing a 
play list will not increase the amount of time.)
∫When “HDD SLP (SLEEP)” appears in the displayThe HDD has been automatically placed in the SLEEP mode. (The 
HDD continues to rotate at high speed while the unit is on. In order 
to extend the life of the HDD, the HDD will be placed in the SLEEP 
mode if no operation has been performed for 30 minutes while there 
is no disc on the disc tray.)
≥Press [HDD] to activate.
≥While in SLEEP mode play or recording may not begin right away 
because the HDD takes time to be re-activated.
≥When not using the unit, we recommend removing the disc in the 
tray in order to set the HDD to the SLEEP mode.
Unit care
Disc and card handling
HDD (Hard disk drive) handling care
∫Setup precautions≥Do not place in an enclosed area so the rear cooling fan 
and the cooling vents on the side are covered up.
≥Place the unit on a surface that is flat and not subject to 
vibration or impact.
≥Do not place on anything that 
generates heat like a video cassette 
recorder, etc.
≥Do not place in an area often subject to 
temperature changes.
≥Place in an area where condensation does not occur. 
Condensation is a phenomenon where moisture forms on a 
cold surface when there is an extreme change in temperature. 
Condensation may cause internal damage to the unit.
≥Conditions where condensation may occur
–When there is an extreme change in temperature (moving 
from a very hot location to a very cold location, or vice versa, 
or when subjected to an air conditioner or when cooled air 
directly impacts the unit.) When the HDD (warms during 
operation) is subjected to cold air, condensation may form on 
the inside of the HDD and may cause damage to the HDD 
heads, etc.
–When there is high humidity or a lot of steam in the room.
–During the rainy season.
≥In the above situation, without turning the unit on, let the unit 
adjust to the room temperature and wait 2–3 hours until 
condensation is gone.
∫Cigarette smoke, etc. causes malfunction or 
breakdown
The unit may breakdown if cigarette smoke or bug spray/vapor, 
etc. gets inside the unit.
∫While operating≥Do not move the unit or subject to vibration or impact. (The 
HDD may become damaged.)
≥Do not remove the AC power plug from the household AC 
outlet, or flip the power breaker switch.
While the unit is on, the HDD is rotating at high speed. Sound or 
movement due to rotation is normal.
∫When moving the unit1Turn the unit off. (Wait until “BYE” disappears from the display.)2Remove the AC power plug from the household AC outlet.
3Move only after the unit has come to a complete stop (approx. 
2 minutes) in order to avoid subjecting to vibration and shock. 
(Even after turning the unit off, the HDD continues operating 
for a short time.)
∫Indemnity concerning recorded contentPanasonic does not accept any responsibility for damages 
directly or indirectly due to any type of problems that result in loss 
of recording or edited content (data), and does not guarantee any 
content if recording or editing does not work properly. Likewise, 
the above also applies in a case where any type of repair is made 
to the unit (including any other non-HDD related component).
