Cautions

Be sure to read the cautions carefully before you operate this VCR.

Avoid sudden changes in temperature

If the VCR is moved suddenly from a cold to a warm place, condensation may form on the tape surface and inside the VCR. If this happens, leave the VCR at room temperature for at least 1 hour before operating it.

Avoid humidity and dust

Do not use the VCR in very humid or dusty places. This may cause damage to its internal parts.

Do not cover the ventilation holes

The ventilation holes prevents excessive heat buildup inside the VCR during extended periods of use. Do not block these holes; especially avoid covering them with soft materials such as paper or cloth.

Keep the VCR away from high temperatures

Keep the VCR away from extreme heat such as direct sunlight, heating radiators, or closed automobiles.

Avoid magnets or magnetized objects

Never bring a magnet or magnetized object close to the VCR because this could adversely affect the performance of the VCR. When using the VCR together with other equipment, keep as much distance as possible between them to prevent them from adversely affecting each other’s performance.

Video head clogging

The video heads record the picture signals on the tape during recording and read picture signals from the tape during playback. They are, therefore, of critical importance for the picture quality. If the VCR is used for a very long time, these heads may become dirty and clogged with dust and fine particles from the tape coating. In such a case, the signals can no longer be recorded correctly, and the playback picture will be distorted accordingly. This is the case, for example, if during the playback of a tape, which you know to have excellent recording quality, the picture and sound quality are inferior. When such a symptom occurs, have the recorder checked by qualified service personnel.

Head cleaning by a service center is not

covered by warranty.

Condensation may form in the following cases:

≥ If the VCR is in a room that was very cold before the

heater has just been turned on.

≥ If the VCR is in a room with steam or high humidity. ≥ If the VCR is brought from cold surroundings into a

well-heated room. ≥ The VCR is suddenly brought from cool surroundings,

such as an air-conditioned room or car, to a place

which is hot and humid.

No fingers or other objects inside

Touching internal parts of the VCR is dangerous, and may seriously damage it. Do not attempt to disassemble the VCR. There are no user serviceable parts inside.

Keep water away

Keep the VCR away from flower vases, tubs, sinks, etc. Caution: If water or some other liquid is spilled into the VCR, serious damage could occur. If you spill any liquid into the VCR, consult qualified service personnel.

Lightning

To avoid damage by lightning, disconnect the AC mains lead from the VCR during lightning storms.

Cleaning the VCR

Wipe the VCR with a clean, dry cloth. Never use any cleaning fluid or other chemicals. Also do not use compressed air to remove dust.

Stacking

Install the VCR in a horizontal position and do not place anything heavy on it.

Note:

≥ In any of the above-mentioned conditions, do not

operate the VCR for at least 1 hour.

This VCR is not equipped with a dew sensor.

Page 5

Using the Mini-DV for mat Digital Video Head

Cleaner:

1.Insert the Head Cleaner into the VCR in the same way as a video cassette.

2.Press 1 (PLAY), and after approximately 20 seconds press ∫ (STOP). (Do not rewind the tape.)

3.Take out the Head Cleaner. Insert a video cassette, perform recording and then play it back to check the picture.

4.If the picture is still not clear, repeat above operation steps 1-3. (Do not use the Head Cleaner more than 3 times in succession.)

Notes:

≥Do not rewind the tape in the Head Cleaner

after every use. Rewind it only after the tape has reached its end, and then use it again in the same way from the beginning.

≥If the video heads again become clogged with

dirt soon after cleaning, this might be caused by a damaged tape. In this case, stop using that cassette immediately.

≥Be careful not to clean the video heads too

much. (Too much cleaning could cause excessive wear to the video heads. If the video heads get worn, the picture is not played back clearly even after cleaning.)

≥If using the Head Cleaner does not clear the

video head clogging, the VCR requires cleaning or repairing by a service centre. Please consult with your dealer.

≥This Video Head Cleaner is available from

service centres.

Before Use

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 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 connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED.

Under no circumstances should either of these wires be connected to the earth terminal of the three pin plug, marked with the letter E or the Earth Symbol Ó.

Creating the Tapes for Editing

In order to operate editing functions correctly, use these tapes for editing as follows:

≥ Tape on which the picture and sound have been recorded properly for about 20 seconds prior to the edit

start point: [Playback unit] [Recording unit]

This VCR first rewinds the tape to the section prior to the edit start point and then commences editing. For this reason, accurate editing cannot be performed if the tape has been left blank or if the picture and sound have not been recorded properly for 20 seconds prior to the edit start point.

≥ Tape on which the Time code has been recorded continuously: [Playback unit] [Recording unit]

If the recording is broken up or if the tape is blank in places, the Time code will lack continuity, and editing will be aborted.

≥ Tape which was recorded in SP mode: [Recording unit]

(This applies to Insert, Audio Dubbing and Audio Mixing only.) The above types of editing operations cannot be performed on a tape which was recorded in the LP mode.

≥ Tape which was recorded in the 12bit audio mode: [Recording unit]

(This applies to AV Insert, Audio Dubbing and Audio Mixing editing only.) The above types of editing operations cannot be performed on a tape which was recorded in the 16bit audio mode.

When a tape which was recorded on another video recorder is used for Inser t, Audio Dubbing or Audio Mixing editing operations, the sound may deteriorate and the picture may be disturbed.

If tapes answering to the above description are not available, proceed with dubbing by following the steps below to create the tapes for editing.

1 Load the original cassette tape into the playback unit and the new cassette tape into the recording VCR (the NV-

DV2000).

2 Connect the playback unit and recording VCR (the NV-DV2000).

For the connection, use the DV cable when the contents of the original cassette are to be copied using their original digital signals, and use the AV cables when the contents are to be copied using the signals from the video and audio sockets. (To dub a 16bit audio tape and make a 12bit audio tape, connect the units using the AV cables, and proceed with the dubbing.)

3 Set the VCR’s tape speed to SP. 4 Record a blank picture for about 20 seconds.

Set the playback unit to the stop mode, set INPUT SELECT on the recording VCR (the NV-DV2000) to A2, A3 or A4, and start recording.

5 Switch over the input of the recording VCR (the NV-DV2000).

If the DV cable was used for the connection in step 2, select “DV1” or “DV2”; if the AV cable was used, switch over to A1, A2, A3 or A4.

6 Press 1 (PLAY) on the playback unit to start playing the original tape. 7 Press ¥ (REC) on the recording VCR (the NV-DV2000) to start dubbing.

Notes:

≥ Digital copying using a DV cable yields a picture quality which undergoes hardly any deterioration at all. ≥ If a digital video tape is dubbed without connecting the DV cable, the original sub code data (Photoshot index

signals, date information, etc.) will not be copied.

≥ The Time code is simultaneously recorded over the subcode of the tape when the tape is recorded. Also recorded

in the sub code are the photoshot index signals, information on the recording date, etc. For further details on the Time code, see [R58].

When performing a Programme Editing after this VCR and Panasonic Digital Video Camera have been connected using an Edit cable and a DV cable (cable for sending video and audio signals), this function enables the Editing controller of this VCR to set the edit points for the playback unit. It makes it easy to accomplish those operations using the Jog/Shuttle functions, which are so crucial for setting the edit points, with the same operational “feel” of the operating the playback unit without depending on the playback unit operations.

Glossary of Terms

Assemble

With the Assemble function, only the required portions of the original (source) tape are copied to another tape and linked together.

Audio Dubbing

You can record two audio tracks (Stereo 1 and Stereo 2) on a tape that is recorded in 12bit audio mode. (When the tape is first recorded, the audio is recorded only in the Stereo 1 track.) The Audio Dubbing function allows you to add new, separate audio in the Stereo 2 track.

Audio Mixing

You can record two audio tracks (Stereo 1 and Stereo 2) on a tape that is recorded in 12bit audio mode. (When the tape is first recorded, the audio is recorded only in the Stereo 1 track.) The Audio Mixing function allows you to mix the original audio from Stereo 1 with new audio from a line input and record the result in the Stereo 2 track.

Copying

The Copying function copies material previously recorded on one tape onto another tape with no changes.

Insert

The Insert function allows you to insert different material into previously recorded video or audio. There are three variations of the Insert function: Video Insert, which inserts video only; Audio Insert, which inserts audio only, and AV Insert, which inserts both audio and video.

SP/LP Mode

There are two different tape speed modes for digital video: SP and LP.

“SP” is short for “Standard Play”, and “LP” is short for “Long Play”.

LP mode permits recording for about 1.5 times as long as SP mode. Although the image quality of LP mode is as good as that of SP mode, in following cases mosaiclike patterns may appear on the playback picture or the picture may not be played back correctly. ≥ When a cassette recorded in LP mode on this VCR is

played back on other digital video equipment.

≥ When a cassette recorded in LP mode on other digital

video equipment is played back on this VCR.

≥ When a cassette recorded in LP mode on this VCR is

played back on other digital video equipment not featuring LP mode.

≥ When played in slow motion or frame by frame.

In addition, the Insert, Audio Dubbing, and Audio Mixing functions cannot be used with a tape that was recorded in LP mode.

Digital Video System

In the digital video system, picture and sound are converted into digital signals and recorded onto tape. This completely digital recording allows recording and playback of picture and sound with minimum quality deterioration. In addition, such data as Time Code, Date and Time are also automatically recorded as digital signals.

Features

≥ Superior picture resolution ≥ Excellent signal-to-noise ratio ≥ Stable pictures ≥ Minimized quality deterioration in dubbing ≥ Minimized cross colour distortion ≥ Minimized quality deterioration in editing ≥ PCM digital sound ≥ No picture deterioration in LP Mode ≥ 6.35 mm-wide tape ≥ Compact cassette with long recording time ≥ Time Code editing

PCM Sound

For recording of the sound, Digital Video Cassette Recorder offers the choice between two different PCM Audio Recording Mode.

≥ 16 bit 48 kHz 1track, 2 channels ≥ 12 bit 32 kHz 2tracks, 4 channels

The “16bit, 48 kHz, 1track 2 channels” mode offers superior recording sound quality. The “12bit, 32 kHz, 2 tracks 4 channels” mode lets you record the original sound on two channels and the dubbed sound on two separate channels.

Sub Code

The digital recording system offers the added capability of recording sub code containing various data. The following data is recorded as sub code on the Digital Video Cassette Recorder.

≥ Time Code ≥ Recording date and time ≥ Index signals for locating the still images recorded in

the Photoshot Mode

≥ Index signals for locating the beginning of scenes

marked with an index signal

TBC (Time Base Corrector)

This function improves the horizontal shaking and the subtle distortion in the vertical lines which tend to take place when analogue VHS-C or analogue 8 mm format tapes are played back. ≥ For normal use, activate the TBC function.

DV TERMINAL

This terminal is used to input/output video and audio data on digital video equipment. Because the video and audio data is sent through the DV cable as digital signals, there is practically no deterioration in video and audio quality after copying. In addition, because the hardware automatically determines the direction of flow for input and output signals according to the state of the unit, there is no need to change the connections around when switching between input and output, as is the case with conventional AV cables. In addition, the DV terminal on the NV-DV2000 can also send control signals that are required in editing operations. If a Panasonic Digital Video Camera is used as the playback unit, only one DV cable needs to be connected between the camera and the NV-DV2000 in order to perform the following editing functions:

Copying, Assemble, Video Insert, and Audio Insert. (Such a configuration does not permit AV Insert, Audio Dubbing, or Audio Mixing. AV cables must

also be connected.) The following functional differences exist when the recording unit and the playback unit are connected through the DV terminal, as opposed to when they are connected through the audio and video sockets: ≥ The original sub code data (date of the recording,

photoshot index signals, etc.) on the playback unit is

copied as is on the recording unit.

(Time codes are not copied.) ≥ The audio is recorded in the same mode (12bit or

16bit) on the recording unit as it was on the playback

unit. (If you want to change the audio recording

mode, the units must be connected through the audio

and video sockets, not the DV terminal.) ≥ No audio is output while searching with the Jog Dial/

Shuttle Ring. ≥ When playing a tape that was recorded with two audio

channels (main and sub; from a bilingual broadcast,

for example), both the main audio channel and the

sub audio channel are output, regardless of the audio

select (main/sub) setting. ≥ Hor izontal sway may appear at the bottom of the

screen for video input from the DV terminal, but this

has no effect on the recording.

Time code

Time Code signals are time data that is recorded on the tape. The time is expressed in units of hours (h), minutes (m), seconds (s) and frames (f) (25 frames/ sec). Time codes are recorded concurrently while the video is being recorded. If a recording is made continuously from the beginning of a tape, the Time codes can be used to determine the absolute position of video and audio recorded on the tape. When you first record on a new (previously unrecorded) cassette, the Time codes are also recorded, starting from zero. If you start recording in the middle of a cassette that has already been partially recorded, and you start where the previous recording ended, the Time code units continue from the ending unit of the previous recording. However, if you star t recording in the middle of a tape after a blank section of tape, the Time codes again start from zero. Unless the Time code is recorded continuously from the beginning of the tape, precise editing may not be possible. To ensure that the Time code will be recorded without interruption, we recommend that you use the Index Search function before starting to record a new scene.

Frame

This is a Time code unit. One frame is equivalent to 1/25 of a second. (Refer to the descr iption of Time codes.)

Tape Counter (Linear counter)

As opposed to the absolute value Time codes (refer to the explanation of Time codes) that are recorded on tape simultaneously when video or audio material is recorded, the tape counter (linear counter) is time information that can change units. The tape counter is reset to zero each time a tape is loaded/ejected, and can also be reset to zero at any other time by pressing

RESET.

3D-DNR (3-Dimensional Digital Noise Reduction)

To activate the 3D DNR function, press the 3D DNR button, so that the “PB DNR” or “REC DNR” appears on the VCR display. 3D DNR function will now reduce the noise during playback or recording. Use of “REC DNR” during recording reduces the shaking and distortion that occur during the recording of analogue tapes so that pictures with a high picture quality are obtained. Use of “PB DNR” when playing back pictures from an analogue device reduces the amount of noise, thereby making it possible to view pictures with a high picture quality. ≥ Dur ing playback, the picture may become the

afterimage. In such a case, cancel the 3D DNR function.
