STEP 1

Connection

≥The equipment connections described are examples.

≥Before connection, turn off all equipment and read the appropriate operating instructions.

≥Peripheral equipment and optional cables sold separately unless otherwise indicated.

∫ Examples of equipment you can connect to this unit’s terminals

∫ Do not connect the unit through a video cassette recorder

Video signals fed through video cassette recorders will be affected by copyright

protection systems and the picture will not be shown correctly on the television.

≥When connecting to a television with a built in VCR, connect to the input terminals on

the television side, not the VCR side.

∫ When the unit is not to be used for a long time

To save power, unplug it from the household mains socket. This

unit consumes a small amount of power, even when it is turned off

(approx. 3 W).

RQT7461

Getting started

∫ Component video output

Component signal outputs the colour difference signals (PB/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high fidelity in

reproducing colours. 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 (➡ page 44).

For progressive output (➡ page 10)

∫ Connecting to a television with 21-pin Scart

terminal

You can also connect with the AV1 terminal on this unit using the

21-pin Scart cable.

If your television is equipped with RGB input capability, by

connecting with a fully wired 21-pin Scart cable you can see video

using RGB output on this unit.

To output in RGB select “RGB (without component)” from “AV1

Output” in the SETUP menu (➡ page 39).

RGB refers to the three primary colours of light, red (R), green (G),

and blue (B) and also the method of producing video that uses

them. By dividing the video signal into the three colours for

transmission, noise is reduced for even higher quality images.

∫ Connecting to a VCR with 21-pin Scart terminal

You can also connect with the AV2 terminal on this unit using the

21-pin Scart cable.

To input in RGB select “RGB (Not NTSC)” from “AV2 Input” in the

SETUP menu (➡ page 39).

Getting started

When you use the discs recorded either PAL or NTSC, or playback a

title recorded on HDD using PAL or NTSC, refer to this table.

(Y: Possible, t: Impossible)

§1

If you select “NTSC” in “TV System” (➡ page 41), the picture may

be clearer.

§2

Select “NTSC” in “TV System” (➡ page 41).

§3

If your television is not equipped to handle PAL 525/60 signals

the picture will not be shown correctly.

≥When playing back a title recorded on the HDD, ensure that you

match the “TV System” setting to the title (➡ page 41).

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 mains lead from the

household mains socket. In the event of a power failure the content

during recording or play may be damaged.

∫ The HDD is a temporary storage device

The 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 a HDD that has become unusable is

unrecoverable.

∫ HDD recording time remaining

This 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 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

display

The HDD has automatically gone into SLEEP mode in order to

extend the life of the HDD.

≥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.

≥If there is no disc in the unit, the HDD will go into SLEEP mode

after there has been no operation for 30 minutes or longer. When

not using the unit, we recommend removing the disc.

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 mains lead from the household mains

socket, 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 unit

1 Turn the unit off. (Wait until “BYE” disappears from the

display.)

2 Remove the AC mains lead from the household mains socket.

3 Move 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 content

Panasonic 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 the case any type of repair is made to

the unit (including any other non-HDD related component).
