• Use the main unit or jog pad in an environment where the temperature is within 32°F ~ 95°F (0°C ~ +35°C), and the relative humidity is within 10 ~ 90%.
• Handle the unit with care. Do not abuse the main unit or jog pad. Avoid strik­ing, shaking, etc. It could be damaged by improper handling or storage.
• Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when cleaning the unit and jog pad. Do use a dry cloth to clean the unit when dirty. In case the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild deter­gent and wipe gently.
• The input power source is 120V AC 60 Hz.

PRECAUTIONS

• Do not expose the main unit and jog pad to rain or moisture, and do not try to operate the equipment in wet areas. Do not operate the main unit and jog pad if it becomes wet.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the main unit or jog pad. In order to prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or covers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Do take immediate action if ever the main unit or jog pad should become wet. Turn the power off and have the unit checked by an authorized service facil­ity.
• Do not interrupt the Vent Hole on the front panel. The main unit will heat and it will cause the damage or a fire.

Upgrade for JOG Microprocessor
Program
1. The first time you startup the computer after installing, following message may be displayed.
“Program version built in JOG microprocessor is different from system required. The program will be rewritten.”
In this case, click “OK”. JOG microprocessor pro­gram (built-in flash memory) will be rewritten auto­matically.
2. While rewriting, following panel and message will be displayed. DO NOT turn off, or reset the computer while rewriting.
“Preparing for writing new program.”
3. When rewriting is finished correctly,
“Writing new program succeeded!”
will be displayed. Click “OK”.
4. When rewriting is finished incorrectly,
“An error is occurred while writing. Restart the system after turn off the power. Toolbox will be finished.”
will be displayed. Click “OK” and turn off the computer. The next time startup the computer, a message will be displayed which inform you of automatically rewriting the JOG microprocessor program.
Note: In case you turn off or reset the computer while
rewriting, the same message will be displayed. If the JOG microprocessor program data can not be restored, please contact to the nearest Panasonic dealer.
Installing Fonts
1. Turn on the Main Unit. The application program starts up.
2. Double click “Special” in the Tool Box. The Setup panel appears.
3. Click “Font” on the Setup panel. Click “Append All” and combine the necessary fonts with the application program.

• Confirm the SCSI cable connection between the HDD-Box and main unit.
• If no problem is found with the connection, refer to qualified service personnel.
Black Display
• Initialization of the HDD displayed in black (in the “Disk Configuration” panel) is not possible. In this case, refer to qualified service personnel.
Red Display
• Click on Add to chain as Newdisk” for logical for- matting.
Caution:
• It is important to make a back-up copy of HDDs, and Windows 95. Backing up your files and disks ensures that you won't lose information if the original is lost or damaged.
• For backing up, 30 floppy disks are required.

Back-up of Windows 95

1. Format 29 floppy disks.
2. Click [EXIT], then click [Restart Windows].
3. Click [Start] and select [Programs] [Accessories] [System Tools Create System Disks].
4. Insert the floppy disk into the Floppy Disk Drive according to the message.
5. Write WIN-0,1...28 on the labels of the backed-up floppy disks.
Caution:
Only 1 set of back-up disks can be made.

Reloading Windows

1. Keep the 29 Windows 95 back-up disks ready.
2. Insert the [WIN-0] floppy disk into the FDD, and turn the main power on.
3. Reload the floppy disks from [WIN-0] to [WIN-28].

Gen-lock Adjustment

Phase adjustments must be performed by using the switches inside the Front Panel when external synchro­nizing signals are supplied to the system. For the example, the gen-lock adjustment is shown below using a two-channel oscilloscope (or wave form monitor), vector scope and signal generator.
1. Connect the oscilloscope, vector scope and signal generator with the Main unit AY-NE2000. The reference signal is supplied from the signal gen­erator. The video signal should be a composite signal.
2. Turn on the external reference switch of the vector scope.
3. Remove the Front Panel by releasing 4 screws.

Color Phase Control

The sub-carrier can be adjusted by using the SW1 and VR1.
1. Turn the SW1 to clockwise; 0°, 90°, 180°, 270° Turn the SW1 to counterclockwise;
270°, 180°, 90°, 0°
2. Perform the fine adjustment with the VR1.

Horizontal Phase Control

Observe the waveform of the external synchronizing input signal (black burst signal) and video output signal on a two-channel oscilloscope. Then match the horizontal phase of both signals by using the SW2, SW3 and VR2.
1. The horizontal phase course 1 adjustment can be performed with the SW3 (1 µs).
2. The horizontal phase course 2 adjustment can be performed with the SW2. (70 ns).
3. The horizontal phase fine adjustment can be per­formed with the VR2.
