Digital Video Cassette Recorder Operating Instructions (Hardware) AJ- E P – 2 – For your safety (USA and Canada) Since this VTR is designed for metal tapes only, make sure that only the designated tapes are used. An or- dinary VHS tape cannot be used. Removal of the covers on electrical appliances for maintenance purposes may lead to electric shocks. Personnel should therefore adhere strictly to the normal safety precautions. Some customer-preference switches are located on printed circuit boards within the unit. Be sure to turn off the power prior to opening the unit, before changing the position of any switch, and especially before re- moving or reinserting any circuit board. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclo- sure that may be of sufficient magni- tude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of im- portant operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the litera- ture accompanying the appliance. FCC NOTE: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. To assure continued compli- ance follow the attached installation in- structions and do not make any unauthorized modifications. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful in- terference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residen- tial area is likely to cause harmful interfer- ence in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD AND ANNOYING IN- TERFERENCE, USE THE RECOM- MENDED ACCESSORIES ONLY. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EX- POSE THIS EQUIPMENT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. 1 is the safety information. CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, REFER MOUNTING OF THE OPTIONAL BOARD TO AU- THORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL. CAUTION: Do not install or place this unit in a book- case, built-in cabinet or in another confined space in order to keep well ventilation con- dition. Ensure that curtains and any other materials do not obstruct the ventilation condition to prevent risk of electric shock or fire hazard due to overheating. THIS APPARATUS MUST BE GROUNDED To ensure safe operation the three-pin plug must be inserted only into a standard three-pin power outlet which is effectively grounded through normal house-hold wiring. Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-core and be correctly wired to provide connection to the ground. Incorrectly wired extension cords can be extremely hazardous. The fact that the equipment operates satis- factorily does not imply that it is grounded, and the installation is not necessarily safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective grounding of the equipment or power outlet, please consult a qualified electrician. – 3 – For your safety (Europe) Caution for AC Mains Lead FOR YOUR SAFETY PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TEXT CAREFULLY. This product is equipped with 2 types of AC mains cable. One is for continental Europe, etc. and the other one is only for U.K. Appropriate mains cable must be used in each local area, since the other type of mains cable is not suitable.

Should the fuse need to be replaced please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 13 amps and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362. Check for the ASTA mark Ï or the BSI mark Ì on the body of the fuse. If the plug contains a removable fuse cover you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced. If you lose the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local Panasonic Dealer. IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME THEN THE FUSE SHOULD BE REMOVED AND THE PLUG CUT OFF AND DISPOSED OF SAFELY. THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS INSERTED INTO ANY 13 AMP SOCKET. If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring code as shown below. If in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician. WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. IMPORTANT: The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green-and-Yellow: Earth Blue: Neutral Brown: Live As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: ≥The wire which is coloured GREEN-AND-YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the Earth symbol Ó or coloured GREEN or GREEN-AND-YELLOW. ≥The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK. ≥The wire which is coloured BROWN must be con- nected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED. How to replace the fuse 1. Open the fuse compartment with a screwdriver. 2. Replace the fuse. FOR CONTINENTAL EUROPE, ETC.

Check the connections. 12. Turn on the power. 13. After making sure that no cassette tape is inserted in this unit, set the system frequency 59.94, 23.98, 24, 25 or 50 by F1 (FREQ) key of the SYSTEM SET UP menu. How to display the ≥SYSTEM SET UP menu: menus: # °1The 1035/59.94i format signals cannot be recorded on this VTR but a tape recorded using the AJ-HD2000 or other model can be played back. °21080/23.98p 1080/25p and 1080/24p format tapes can be played back and 1080/50i format signals can be output automatically.

Select the frequency by cursor key [3, 4] and press the BS and ENT keys at the same time, then the frequency is secured. In 59 Hz mode, the selection window will be further displayed (1080i/525i/720p). Select the format by the cursor key, and press the BS and ENT keys at the same time to secure the format. When the 1080i or 720p format has been selected, se- lect its 4-channel or 8-channel audio version, and enter the format by pressing the BS and ENT keys at the same time. In the 23.98 Hz, 24 Hz or 25 Hz mode, a window appears offering the user the option of se- lecting PsF or P for the VIDEO signal interface format. When the format is selected using the cursor keys [3, 4] and the BS key and ENT key are then pressed together, the format is en- tered. In the same way, the HD MAIN output and HD MONI output formats are selected using the cursor keys [3, 4] and then entered by pressing the BS key and ENT key together.
