Frequently Asked Questions - DMR-EZ25 PANASONIC

What types of discs can I record on with the Panasonic DMR-EZ25?

You can record on DVD-RAM (VR format), DVD-R (Video format), DVD-R DL, DVD-RW (Video/VR), +R, +R DL, and +RW discs. For best functionality, DVD-RAM is recommended.

How do I set up the unit for the first time?

Connect the unit to your TV via Scart or HDMI, connect the aerial, and plug into the mains. Turn on the TV and select the correct AV input. The unit will automatically start an Auto-Setup to scan for digital and analogue channels. Follow on-screen instructions to set the clock and Owner ID.

Can I record from a satellite receiver?

Yes. Connect the satellite receiver to the unit's AV2 (EXT) Scart input. Use the INPUT SELECT button to choose AV2. For timer recording, set the satellite receiver to the desired channel and use VIDEO Plus+ codes or manual timer programming.

What is the maximum recording time?

Recording time depends on disc capacity and mode. On a 4.7GB DVD-RAM, XP gives about 1 hour, SP 2 hours, LP 4 hours, and EP up to 6 hours (or 8 hours with EP mode setting). Flexible Recording (FR) adjusts quality to fit available space.

How do I finalize a disc to play on other DVD players?

After recording, when you eject the disc, the unit will prompt to finalize. Select Finalize and eject. Once finalized, the disc can be played on other DVD players but cannot be recorded on again.

Why is there no picture when I connect via HDMI?

Ensure the TV supports HDMI and is set to the correct input. Check the HDMI cable is fully inserted. If the TV is not progressive-compatible, set Progressive to Off in the Setup menu. Also, verify that Control with HDMI / Q Link is set appropriately.

Can I watch one programme while recording another?

Yes, with DVD-RAM discs you can play a recorded title or a different title while a timer recording is in progress. Use the DIRECT NAVIGATOR to select and play a title while recording continues.

How do I delete a recorded title?

Press FUNCTIONS, select Playback, then choose the title in DIRECT NAVIGATOR. Press SUB MENU and select Delete. Confirm with ENTER. Note: On DVD-RAM, space is freed; on DVD-R, space is not released.

What does the 'U59' error code mean?

Error code U59 indicates the unit has overheated and switched to standby. Allow about 30 minutes for it to cool. Ensure ventilation vents are not blocked. If the error persists, contact customer service.

Can I copy home videos from a digital camcorder?

Yes. Connect your camcorder to the DV IN input using a 4-pin IEEE1394 cable. Press INPUT SELECT to choose DV, then use the DV Auto Rec function in the FUNCTIONS menu to start recording to DVD-RAM.

Automatic title transfer

When programmes are recorded from the TV Guide, the name of the selected programme is transferred automatically for the recording. If an analogue station broadcasts teletext, the unit automatically records the name of the programme and the station, on condition that the [Title page] setting has been entered correctly in the station table.

It can take approx. 10 minutes to find the title with this unit, and sometimes this fails.

Note

The programme overview is available immediately if your DVD Recorder has found a digital station and loaded the information in the memory. This process can take a while depending on the particular station.

The programme overview data are continuously downloaded in the background when the unit is switched on. That means that the programme overview can sometimes change while you are looking at it.

If the unit is disconnected from the AC mains, all programme data are lost

The broadcasters allocate individual programmes to topic areas. If the selection is not complete, this is not an error in the unit.

VIDEO Plus+ Codes for satellite receivers

This DVD Recorder is not designed to control (switch on or change channel) your satellite receiver, however, it can be taught to recognize VIDEO Plus+ Codes for satellite stations. The satellite receiver must be switched on and the correct station selected. Some receivers have their own timer facility for this purpose.

Please refer to your satellite receiver instructions for use of such timer facilities.

For your DVD Recorder to recognize the VIDEO Plus+ Codes for each satellite station, you must teach your DVD Recorder which channel or AV input to record from for the first time. Otherwise when setting a VIDEO Plus+ recording, the [--] symbol will appear in the channel position indicating that the DVD Recorder does not know which channel position to set. Once you have set the channel/AV input the DVD Recorder will remember it whenever you use a VIDEO Plus+ Code for the station again.

VIDEO Plus+

Press the VIDEO Plus+ button.

• Enter a VIDEO Plus+ Code from a satellite TV Guide for a satellite channel, e.g. Sky 1 using the numeric buttons. Press ◀ to correct any mistakes.
• Press the ENTER button. [--] will appear instead of a channel number/AV input.
• Press the CH button to select the channel or AV input that is to be used for recording from the satellite channel.
• Press the ENTER button to memorize the setting. The DVD Recorder will now automatically set the programme position or AV input correctly when a VIDEO Plus+ recording is set for this satellite station in the future.
• Press ▲to select the programme that you have just set. Now press the button to delete it from the Timer Recording list. It is no longer needed.
• Repeat the steps above until you have set and deleted dummy Timer Recordings for each of the satellite stations that you will make VIDEO Plus+ recordings from.
• Press RETURN when you have finished.

HDMI ^TM

HIGH-DEFINITION MULTIMEDIA INTERFACE

If you connect the DVD Recorder to an HDMI-compatible unit, just one cable transfers a high quality digital audio and video signal without interference.

- Once an HDAVI Control-compatible unit has been connected to the HDMI terminal, switch the units on and switch on the external unit, select the input channel for the DVD Recorder. Repeat the procedure if there is any change to the HDMI terminal.

The audio signal cannot be transmitted via HDMI if an externally connected unit does not support CPPM (Content Protection for Prerecorded Media), or when playing a DVD audio with copy protection. In this case, use an audio cable.

If an connected TV only supports dual-channel audio, then an audio signal with 3 or more channels is down-converted, with output through 2 audio channels. It is not always possible to down-convert all discs. Titles where down-converting is not possible can only be reproduced via HDMI through an amplifier which corresponds to the HDMI Ver. 1.1 standard or higher and is CPPM compatible.

For HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) compatible units with DVI connection (e.g. PC monitors): depending on the unit, it is possible that a DVI/HDMI adapter does not reproduce the video signal perfectly. The audio signal is not transmitted in this case.

If you connect this unit with an HDMI cable to a Panasonic television set with HDAVI control function, then both units can be controlled. If you connect this unit with an fully wired 21 pin scart cable you can use the Q Link functions to control the television and this unit. You can use both kinds of connection at the same time.

Settings for control with HDMI and Q Link: 45

The following systems from other manufacturers have similar function to Q Link from Panasonic.

• Easy Link (Trademark of Philips)
• SMARTLINK (Trademark of Sony)
• DATA LOGIC (Trademark of Metz)
• Megalogic (Trademark of Grundig)

For details, refer to your television's operating instructions or consult your dealer.

A TV takes a certain time to change over the input channel for the DVD Recorder automatically. It is therefore possible that the television set does not display the playback at the start of the title. Press SKIP ◀◀◀▶▶ SLOW/SEARCH ◀◀▶▶▶ return to the start of the playback.

RF coaxial cable (included, black)

The RF cable cannot be used for showing pictures from the DVD Recorder. The unit must be connected by another means e.g. Scart cable to show pictures from the DVD Recorder on the television set.

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminal

The terminals can be used for INTERLACE or PROGRESSIVE output and deliver a clearer picture than the S VIDEO OUT terminal. Connections via these terminals output the colour difference signals ( P_B/P_R ) and the brightness signal (Y) separately. Colours can be reproduced true to the original colour. The properties of the COMPONENT VIDEO input terminal are dependent on the TV or screen.

Connecting a TV with COMPONENT VIDEO input terminals

If your TV with LCD or plasma screen supports the progressive process, connect it to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals. If you want to enjoy full progressive video, set Progressive to [On].

RAM

DVD-RAM

The DVD-RAM can be compared with the hard disk and can be written to 100,000 times on average. The disc can only be played on DVD-RAM-compatible players.

The recording occurs in DVD Video Recording format (VR). Movies and parts of movies can be edited and deleted. The deletion of movies frees previously used storage space. The creation of playlists does not require any additional storage space.

Dual-channel sound and 16:9 format are supported in addition to the TIME SLIP function.

DVD-R/+R (Recordable)

The DVD-R/+R can only be recorded once. Movies or parts of them can be deleted during processing, but storage space is still taken up and cannot be used for other movies.

Through finalization, the DVD-R/+R becomes DVD-V that can be played on other units.
