≥When "Rec for High Speed Copy" is set to "On", the restrictions on
secondary audio recording are also applied to DVD-RAM. Turn this
setting "Off" if high speed copy to [-R] [-R]DL] [-RW‹V›] [+R] [+R]DL]

another Panasonic DVD Recorder may be incompatible. However,
discs that are finalised are compatible and can be played.

PAL signal recordings. (However, both types of programmes can
be recorded onto the HDD.)
≥You may not be able to record depending on the condition of the
discs and you may not be able to play due to the condition of the
recording.
You cannot directly record to a DVD-R DL and +R DL
disc on this unit.
Record to the HDD and then copy to the disc.
When playing DVD-R DL (Dual Layer, single-sided) and
+R DL (Double Layer, single-sided)
DVD-R DL (Dual Layer, single-sided) and +R DL (Double Layer,
single-sided) discs have two writable layers on one side. If there is
not enough space on the first layer to record a programme, the
remainder is recorded on the second layer. When playing a title
recorded on both layers, the unit automatically switches between
layers and plays the title in the same way as a normal programme.
However, video and audio may momentarily cut out when the unit
is switching layers.
