INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this AJ-LT85 laptop editor. This is a digital VTR using 1/4-inch tapes. This laptop editor with its two digital VTRs features two mechanisms, two liquid-crystal monitors and editing control sections all combined into a single editing package. This single unit can perform cut editing on its own while its compact size, light weight and portability enable it to be taken anywhere with the greatest of ease.
Features
• Compact size and light weight
This editing package comes with two digital VTRs. Its compact size and light weight make the laptop extremely portable so that it can be taken anywhere for ready opera­tion on, for instance, an office desk.
• Cut editing
The two digital VTRs make it possible to conduct assemble editing and insert editing (video, audio and time code sig­nals exactly as desired). These types of editing can be per­formed automatically.
• Transmission function
The sound and playback images of the two digital VTRs can be transmitted from the output connectors provided for the respective signals. This feature is ideal for forwarding edited programs. (Refer to the system connection diagram.)
• Back-up recording
Back-up recording is enabled by the two digital VTRs. One of the VTRs can be used for playback and the other for recording. (Refer to the system connection diagram.)
• Recording duration of up to 126 minutes
Either M cassette tapes (max. 66 minutes) or L cassete tapes (max. 126 minutes) can be used. In both cases, the tape is one-fourth of an inch wide to achieve a compact design.
• Compatibility with consumer-use equipment
Consumer-use Mini DV cassette tapes which have been shot using a consumer-use digital camera can be played back on this laptop using the cassette adaptor (option: AJ­CS750P).
• Liquid-crystal monitors
The laptop has two liquid-crystal TV monitors which support the two digital VTRs. This enables the images to be easily checked during the course of editing.
• Volume controls
Each of the digital VTRs provides volume controls for recording and playing back the sound of two channels. The level meters below the liquid-crystal monitors make it easy to check the signal strength. There are also two speakers, and the actual sound can be checked using the desired combination of facilities.
• Functional I/O interfaces
Analog I/O: Each VTR is equipped with video and audio
I/O connectors.
9-pin remote connectors (×2)
Each VTR comes with a 9-pin remote control connector to enable remote control operations using an external controller. VTR1 can also be switched so as to control an external VTR. The unit can be used to control another VTR which is equipped with a 9-pin connector and which serves as the edit source unit so that editing can be performed on VTR2.
Time code input/output
One time code input line is provided. The time code genera­tors of VTR1 and VTR2 can be synchronized to an external time code. Time code output facilities are provided sepa­rately for VTR1 and for VTR2.
• 2-channel sound
Each of the two sound channels can be edited separately. Mix, swap and other functions can also be selected.
• Dial jog and shuttle
Edit points can be searched smoothly by manipulating the jog dial. Shuttle is possible up to 32 times the normal tape speed in the forward or reverse direction.
• Encoder provided
Each VTR has an encoder to adjust the output images. These encoders can be used for forwarding and other appli­cations.
• Editing of 100 events
One hundred programs can be registered. Their edit points can be stored in the internal memory.
• Time code
This laptop incorporates a time code generator (TCG)/time code reader (TCR) which can be used for time code editing.
• On-screen settings
Highly personalized functions can be set on-screen.

This is exclusively designed for use in consumer-use cassette camera/recorder units. It can be used with the laptop for playback only if the AJ-CS750P
Description
cassette adaptor (option) is obtained. If a consumer-use cassette tape is to be used, it must first be loaded into the AJ-CS750P adaptor (optional accessory).
Use of Panasonic consumer DV cassette tapes is recommended.
Ensure that inserting such a tape directly without using the cassette adaptor may cause trouble.

<Precautions for playing back consumer-use DV tapes/DVCAM tapes>
• Consumer-use tapes can be used for playback only.
• Use tapes specially designed for DVCPRO applications with this unit. However, if DV tapes or DVCAM tapes are to be used in the playback mode, it is recommended that playback be limited to as short a period of time as possible.
• Tapes recorded in the LP mode cannot be played back.
• Since consumer-use tapes cannot be used for recording, the laptop’s functions related to recording as well as its REC and other operations are disabled.
• Consumer tape FF/REW speed is VTR limited to ±32X. Slow motion playback is not possible with consumer cassette tape.
• In order to protect the tape, the maximum STILL TIMER for consumer tape is 10 seconds, and the available time for leaving the tape in STILL mode is set at 1 minute.
• The read disable display for the time code may sometimes appear while consumer-use tape is being used in the search, slow motion or still mode.
