Universal Design
Universal Design for the Main Unit
Frequently used buttons (Power, Open/Close) are located at the top of 
the unit. This makes them easier to see when the unit is placed in a 
cabinet where you need to look down to see the Recorder. 
Universal Design for Remote Control
The remote control was designed for easy use.
Universal Design for the Graphic User Interface
The graphical user interface (GUI) was developed based on the 
results of a Panasonic survey to ensure ease of use.
The buttons are angled for 
easy use. 
Buttons that are less frequently used are concealed 
behind the lid to produce a clean, modern front panel 
design. 
Four main functions: 
The basic Recorder functions (Playback, Recording, 
Delete, Copy) are displayed on the first screen. 
Function names: 
Functions are indicated in plain, easy-to-understand 
language.
Menu screen: 
The menu screen uses a combination of yellow and blue. 
These colours are perceived with only a small amount of 
difference by both people with normal vision and people 
with vision problems. 
List View
List View allows easy 
selection of the content 
from many recordings by 
displaying a list. 
Thumbnail View
Thumbnail View enables 
easy visual recognition of 
the content without having 
to check titles or dates. 
Switchable
* The images are the GUI of a DVD Recorder
