2x LP Horizontal resolution (500 lines)
Panasonic original technology enables LP mode recording with the same 500 lines (D1) of horizontal resolution as that of SP and XP modes, which is double the horizontal resolution compared to the 250 lines (1/2 D1) of conventional LP mode recording. Now you can enjoy viewing extended recordings (4 hours [single-sided DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, +R, +RW] / 7 hours 10minutes [DVD-R DL, DVD+R DL] / 8 hours [double-sided DVD-RAM]) with exceptional detail and twice the picture quality.

1080p Up-conversion
By interpolating video data using proprietary algorithms, standard definition TV format data is upconverted to 1920 x 1080p HD format video data. This conversion to HD format increases the richness of the original data by approximately six fold, and produces the highest possible image quality when viewing content on a large-screen HDTV.

Digital tuner capable
The Digital Tuner is a high-performance hybrid tuner capable of receiving both digital and analog broadcasts. It uses a signal processor to effectively control noise and distortion, and its proprietary matching circuits allow it to transform and separate digital broadcasts into the appropriate digital or analog signals. When digital broadcast signals drop out, the picture generally either disappears or becomes filled with block-noise, but the digital tuner produces a beautiful picture even under difficult reception conditions, such as when there are obstacles interfering with direct signal access.

Digital noise reduction (DNR)
When connecting a VCR and DIGA to record VHS videotape images onto a DVD disc, DNR detects and virtually eliminates randomly generated noise and colour irregularities to help minimize flicker. Thanks to Digital noise reduction (DNR) technology, the tape input signal is automatically detected and optimum processing is performed to provide an easy way to even more beautiful digital recordings.

Real-time variable bit rate control
Panasonic DVD recorders feature original quality rate control to achieve the bit rate that most effectively improves picture quality. By varying the compression rate to match image data volume and scene complexity, this helps assure both high picture quality and efficient recording.
