Watch what you want, when you want, and record your own custom DVDs with Panasonic's first DVD Recorder with a built-in 40GB hard disk drive! Thanks to its flexible video recording, playback and storage capabilities, you can record, store and edit hours of video, from your favorite TV programs to home movies. Plus you'll also have the removable storage and editing advantages of DVD-RAM and DVD-R. Altogether you can record up to 52 hours of television on the hard disk drive in the EP mode, 12 hours of video on a 9.24GB double-sided DVD-RAM disc and six hours on a DVD-R disc.

Enhancing the TV-Watching Experience
The Panasonic DVD/Hard Disk Recorder is loaded with great features to enhance your TV-watching experience. For example, you'll have the flexibility to concurrently view programs recorded onto a DVD-RAM disc or the hard disk while recording another program. You can also view the recorded portion of a live program, from the beginning, while continuing to record that program in progress.

In addition, the unique Time Slip feature allows you to replay a scene recorded 30 seconds earlier without disrupting the recording process, simply by touching a button on the remote. The unit also features Auto Renewal Recording, a PVR-like function, so you can automatically record your favorite show every day or every week onto the hard disk.

Make Your Own DVDs
The Panasonic DVD/Hard Disk Recorder makes creating original video DVDs easy. Its DV input terminal and IEEE cable allow recording of digital images directly from a digital camcorder onto either a DVD-RAM or DVD-R disc. To make editing easier, the DV Automatic Recording mode automatically creates a playlist, consisting of still images representing a sequence of scenes.

High-speed recording from the hard disk to a DVD-RAM disc can be done with the touch of a single button, enabling 12x speed in the EP mode at its quickest (for example, a one-hour program can be recorded in just 5 minutes). Recording from a DVD-RAM disc to the hard disk drive is also possible.

In addition to recording new video content, you'll also be able to transfer your favorite VHS tapes to space-saving discs or the internal hard drive. Personal movie libraries and family videos can be archived, preserved, easily cataloged and accessed. The unit can also be used for storing and viewing digital still photos with PC card slot (compatible with SD Memory Cards, MultiMedia Cards, Compact Flash, SmartMedia and other flash memory cards). Other features include Progressive Scan, delivering optimum picture quality when viewing a DVD movie.

The DVD video recording technology this system uses complies with the DVD-RAM recording formats standardized by the DVD Forum. DVD-RAM provides a single format for computer and video-based applications. The format offers high storage capacity on removable media, high-speed data transmission, exceptional picture and sound quality, fast, random access memory and rewritability up to 100,000 times.

As the popularity and applications of digital video expand, there's increasing demand for the ability to record and preserve these high-resolution digital images on digital media. The Panasonic DVD/Hard Disk Recorder is the optimal choice for today's expanding digital media environment.
