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 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:
To reduce the risk of fire or shock hazard and
annoying interference, use the recommended
accessories only.
THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED
To ensure safe operation the three-pin plug must
be inserted only into a standard three-pin power
point which is effectively earthed through the
normal house-hold wiring.
Extension cords used with the equipment must be
three-core and be correctly wired to provide
connection to earth. Wrongly wired extension
cords are a major cause of fatalities.
The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily
does not imply that the power point is earthed and
that the installation is completely safe. For your
safety, if in any doubt about the effective earthing
of the power point, consult a qualified electrician.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire or shock hazard,
do not expose this equipment to rain or
moisture.
CAUTION:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR
SHOCK HAZARD, REFER MOUNTING OF
THE OPTIONAL INTERFACE BOARD TO
AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
FCC Note:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
To assure continued compliance follow the attached
installation instructions 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 interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference
in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.
CAUTION:
Do not install or place this unit in a bookcase,
built in cabinet or in another confined space in
order to keep well ventilated condition. 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.

General and Features
This unit is a digital video cassette recorder which uses 1/4-inch tapes.
It incor pora tes digit al compression te chnology so that the det er ioration in picture quality and
sound quality resulting from dubbing is significantly minimized compared with existing analog
systems.
Further more, since it has a compa ct 4U siz e and light w eight , the unit can be car ried ar ound
or mounted in a 19-inch rack with ease.
The settings for the unit’s setup can be performed while viewing the screen menus on the TV
monitor. When DVCPRO c assette tapes are used, both as sem ble and i ns er t edi ti ng can be
performed by exerci sing cont r ol from an extern al component .
Features
Compa ct si ze an d ligh t weig ht
This is a 4U size digital VTR. It can be mounted in a 19-inch rack with ease using the optional
rack-mounting adaptors (AJ-MA75P).
Up to 184 minutes of recording
Two sizes of casset te tapes can be us ed w it h t his unit: M cass ette ( m ax. 66 m inutes) and L
cassette (max. 184 minutes). The width of the tapes measures 1/4 inch to achieve a compact
design.
Compatibility with consumer products
This unit can play back consumer-use cassette tapes shot by a digital camera or other
consumer component. It can also record on consumer-use cassette tapes using the DV
format. A cassette adapter (AJ-CS455P) is used for mini DV cassette tapes.
Digital slow motion/jog
The slo w motion pl ayback images ca n be reproduc ed clearly at any of t he speeds given
below using commands fr om the external controll er or other such device: –0.43/–0. 3/–0.2/
–0.1/–0.03/0/+0.03/+0.1/+0.2/+0.3/+0.43.
<Notes>
• Some noise may occur when the slow motion speed is changed.
• When slow motion playback is used, the image shakes slightly in the vertical direction.
Dialy shuttle operation is possible through the external controller
Shuttle operat ions enable the tape to be played back with color image s at a speed of up to
60 times normal tape speed in either the forward or reverse direction.
Time codes
This unit comes with a built-in time code generator (TCG)/time code reader (TCR). In
addition t o the internal time code, an external time c ode i nput or inp ut signal VITC can be
recorded in the machine .

Type Description
Use the cassette adapter (AJ-CS455P) for the mini DV cassette tapes.
Consumer

(Standard

(Mini DV
cassette)
Bear in mind that long-playing mini DV cassette tapes (standard mode: 80
minutes/LP mode: 120 minutes) cannot be used.
Also bear in mind that recordings cannot be made on a tape when the
AJ-CS750 cassette adapter is used.
Use of Panasonic consumer DV cassette tapes is recommended.
Remember to refrain from inserting a mini DV cassette without using the
cassette adapter since malfunctioning or problems may result.
M cassette
L cassette
Recording/playback tape with a maximum capacity of 66 minutes.
(AJ-P12MP , AJ-P24MP, AJ-P33MP, AJ-P46MP , AJ-P66MP)
Recording/playback tape with a maximum capacity of 184 minutes.
(AJ-P34LP, AJ-P66LP , AJ-P94LP, AJ-P126LP , AJ-5P92LP)
Align the cassette with the center of the insertion slot, and gently push it inside. The cassette tape is
automatically loaded.
<Cautions when playing back consumer DV tapes and DVCAM tapes>
• Consumer DV tapes which have been recorded in the LP mode cannot be played back.
• When materials which have been recorded on consumer DV tapes or DVCAM tapes are to
be edited, record them onto a DVCPRO tape or tape of any other broadcasting VTR for use.
• The maximum transport speed for consumer DV tapes and DVCAM tapes is 32 times the
normal tape speed.
• The video images may be disturbed during slow motion playback of consumer-use tapes.
• From the viewpoint of protecting the tape, minimize repeated cue-up at the same location
on a consumer-use tape.
• The maximum STILL TIMER time is set to 20 seconds when a consumer-use tape is used.
• The sampling rate of the audio signals recorded on a consumer-use tape is 48 kHz. When
the AJ-YAD455P digital video interface board is used, audio signals can be recorded at a
rate of 44.1 kHz or 32 kHz on a consumer-use tape only when DVCPRO/DV signals are
input.
• During recording on a consumer-use tape, scenes can be recorded with continuity between
frames by exercising control from the controller or personal computer (when the AJYAD455P digital video interface board is used) which has the REC/PAUSE command.
However, in this case, the video and sound for the one frame before and after the continuity
point may be disturbed.
