■ 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 a case where any type of repair is made to the unit (including any other non-HDD related component).

Cleaning

This unit

●Wipe 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.

This unit's lens

Use the Lens cleaner (not supplied) to clean the unit's lens

Lens cleaner: RP-CL720AE

● This lens cleaner may not be available for sale in all countries, e.g. not available in Germany, please consult your Panasonic dealer for advice.

Setup precautions

• 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 VCR, etc.
• Place in an area where condensation does not occur. 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 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/vapour, etc. gets inside the unit.

When moving the unit

Before moving the unit, ensure the disc tray is empty. 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. 3 minutes) in order to avoid subjecting to vibration and shock. (Even after turning the unit off, the HDD continues operating for a short time.)

HDD (Hard disk drive) handling care

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 content to a 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 playback 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 during recording or playback, the content 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 one-off viewing, editing, or copying. It is recommended to save the recorded content on a disc or to keep the original data or CDs that they were copied from.

■ Immediately save (backup) all content as soon as you feel there may be a problem with the HDD

If there is an irregularity within the HDD, repetitive 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 be usable. As soon as you notice this type of problem, copy all content to disc and request service. Recorded content (data) on a HDD that has become unusable is unrecoverable.

Media handling

■ How to hold a disc or SD card

Do not touch the recorded surface or the terminal surface.

DO NOT

■ If there is dirt or condensation on the disc

Wipe with a damp cloth and then wipe dry.

DO DO NOT

Handling precautions

• Do not use ballpoint pens or other hard writing implements when writing on the label side of the disc.
• Do not expose the terminals of the SD card to water, garbage, or other foreign substances.
• Do not drop, stack, or impact discs. Do not place objects on them.
• Do not use the following discs: –Discs with exposed adhesive from removed stickers or labels (rental 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.
• Locations susceptible to significant temperature differences (condensation can occur). -Where static electricity or electromagnetic waves occur.

Recording modes and approximate recording times

Depending on the content being recorded, the recording time may become shorter than indicated.

DR mode

Recording Mode HDD	BD-RE/BD-R
	BWT800(500 GB)	BWT700(320 GB)	Single Layer(25 GB)	Dual Layer(50 GB)
DR (HD quality)	129 hours	79 hours	6 hours 30 min.	13 hours
DR (SD quality)	258 hours	154 hours	13 hours	26 hours

- Recording time of DR mode may vary depending on bit rate of broadcasting:

●High Definition (HD) quality: estimated bit rate is 8 Mbps - Standard Definition (SD) quality: estimated bit rate is 4 Mbps

- Regarding recording time remaining:

Remaining time in the DR mode is calculated with a bit rate of approx. 8 Mbps. But the bit rate differs depending on the broadcast, so the displayed remaining time might be different from the actual remaining time.
