WARNING:
y TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR SHOCK
HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS
EQUIPMENT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
y TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR SHOCK
HAZARD, KEEP THIS EQUIPMENT AWAY
FROM ALL LIQUIDS. USE AND STORE ONLY
IN LOCATIONS WHICH ARE NOT EXPOSED
TO THE RISK OF DRIPPING OR SPLASHING
LIQUIDS, AND DO NOT PLACE ANY LIQUID
CONTAINERS ON TOP OF THE EQUIPMENT.
WARNING:
THIS EQUIPMENT 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 household wiring.
Extension cords used with the equipment
must have three cores and be correctly wired
to provide connection to the ground. Wrongly
wired extension cords are a major cause of
fatalities.
The fact that the equipment operates
satisfactorily does not imply that the power
outlet is grounded or that the installation is
completely safe. For your safety, if you are in
any doubt about the effective grounding of the
power outlet, please consult a qualified
electrician.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).
NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER TO SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
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
enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude 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 important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.
CAUTION:
The mains plug of the power supply cord shall
remain readily operable.
The AC receptacle (mains socket outlet) shall
be installed near the equipment and shall be
easily accessible. To completely disconnect
this equipment from the AC mains, disconnect
the mains plug from the AC receptacle.
CAUTION:
In order to maintain adequate ventilation, do
not install or place this unit in a bookcase,
built-in cabinet or any other confined space. To
prevent risk of electric shock or fire hazard
due to overheating, ensure that curtains and
any other materials do not obstruct the
ventilation.
CAUTION:
y KEEP THE TEMPERATURE INSIDE THE
RACK TO BETWEEN 5 °C TO 40 °C (41 °F TO
104 °F).
y BOLT THE RACK SECURELY TO THE
FLOOR SO THAT IT WILL NOT TOPPLE
OVER WHEN VTR IS DRAWN OUT.
CAUTION:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR SHOCK
HAZARD AND ANNOYING INTERFERENCE,
USE THE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES
ONLY.
CAUTION:
Excessive sound pressure from earphones
and headphones cause hearing loss.
CAUTION:
This apparatus can be operated at a voltage in
the range of 100 - 240 V AC.
Voltages other than 120 V are not intended for
U.S.A. and Canada.
CAUTION:
Operation at a voltage other than 120 V AC
may require the use of a different AC plug.
Please contact either a local or foreign
Panasonic authorized service center for
assistance in selecting an alternate AC plug.

from the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or the table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.
When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any
way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus,
the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
FCC Note:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. 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 interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
z Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
z
z Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
z
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
z
The user may find the booklet “Something About Interference” available from FCC local regional offices helpful.
Warning :
To assure continued FCC emission limit compliance, follow the attached installation instructions and the user must use only shielded
interface cables when connecting to peripheral devices. Also any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment could Void t he
userís authority to operate this device.

1. Applicable standards and operating environment (AG-BS300E)
The apparatus is compliant with:
z standards EN55103-1 and EN550103-2 1996.11, and
z electromagnetic environments E1, E2, E3, and E4.
2. Pre-requisite conditions to achieving compliance with the above standards
<1> Peripheral equipment to be connected to the apparatus and special connecting cables
z The purchaser/user is urged to use only equipment which has been recommended by us as peripheral
equipment to be connected to the apparatus.
z The purchaser/user is urged to use only the connecting cables described below.
<2> For the connecting cables, use shielded cables which suit the intended purpose of the apparatus.
z Video signal connecting cables
Use double shielded coaxial cables, which are designed for 75-ohm type high-frequency applications, for SDI
(Serial Digital Interface).
Coaxial cables, which are designed for 75-ohm type high-frequency applications, are recommended for analog
video signals.
z Audio signal connecting cables
If your apparatus supports AES/EBU serial digital audio signals, use cables designed for AES/EBU.
Use shielded cables, which provide quality performance for high-frequency transmission applications, for analog
audio signals.
z Other connecting cables (IEEE1394, USB)
Use shielded cables, which provide quality performance for high-frequency applications, as connecting cables.
z When connecting to the DVI signal terminal, use a cable with a ferrite core.
z If your apparatus is supplied with ferrite core(s), they must be attached on cable(s) following instructions in this
manual.
3. Performance level
The performance level of the apparatus is equivalent to or better than the performance level required by these
standards.
