The HDD (Hard disk drive) is in SLEEP mode. ("HDD SLP" appears in the display of the unit.)
The unit is currently recording.
The unit is out of order. With the unit switched off, press and hold STOP and CH
CH at the same time for approx. 5 seconds. Remove the disc and contact your dealer.
The procedure cannot be executed if the child-safety feature is activated.
Switch off the child-safety feature.
If power goes out during recording or editing or if the unit is unplugged from the power
supply, the title can be lost or the HDD (Hard disk drive)/disc may become unusable. You
must then reformat the disc (HDD, RAM, -RW(V)) or use a new disc. No compensation is
provided for lost recordings or unusable discs.
When recording to the HDD (Hard disk drive), set [Rec for High Speed dubbing]
in the SETUP menu to [On].
Use a high-speed-compatible disc. Depending on the condition of the disc, even high-speed-
compatible discs may not allow recording at maximum speed.
Dubbing takes longer if there are a lot of titles.
If you are using another Panasonic DVD Recorder that is not compatible with the recording
mode [EP (8Hours)], you cannot dub titles over 6 hours long to a DVD-R, DVD-RW
(DVD-Video format) and +R at high speed.
When recording or high-speed dubbing to a DVD-R, DVD-RW (DVD-Video format) and
+R, the rotation sound is louder than normal. This is not a malfunction.
