Dear Customer

May we take this opportunity to thank you for purchasing this Panasonic Video Cassette Recorder.

We would particularly advise that you carefully study the Operating Instructions before attempting to operate the unit and that you note the listed precautions.

ShowView Programming System

Programming is now easier than ever: simply enter the ShowView number provided in the programme schedule column carried by newspapers and magazines.

•ShowView is a trademark applied for by Gemstar Development Corp. ShowView system is manufactured under licence from Gemstar Development Corporation.

A1 Crystal View Control

AI circuit for automatic tape calibration (computer-controlled calibration) and optimizing of playback characteristics.

During playback the contrast of tapes recorded with good level is automatically optimized: when a tape recorded with insufficient level is played back, the noise reduction circuit is activated automatically. The computer-controlled calibrating process requires only 1.5 seconds for detecting

the tape data and completing the setting. This process has

a positive effect on used video heads as well.

IMPORTANT

Your attention is drawn to the fact that recording of pre*recorded tapes or discs or other published or broadcast materiai may infringe copyright taws.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS EQUIPMENT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

This model conforms to the EC directive (for radio interference) 87/308/EEC.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

■ DO NOT REMOVE OUTER COVER.

To prevent electric shock, do not remove cover. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer

servicing to qualified service personnel.

Precautions

Please read these cautions before you operate this VTR.

Avoid Sudden Changes in Temperature

If the VTR is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm place, moisture may form on the tape and inside the VTR.

Humidity and Dust

Avoid places where there is high humidity or much dust, which may cause damage to internal parts.

Do Not Obstruct the Ventilation Holes

The ventilation holes prevent abnormal increase in temperature. Do not block or cover these holes. Especially avoid covering the holes with soft materials such as cloth or paper.

Keep away from High Temperature

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

Keep Magnets away

Never bring a magnet or magnetized object near the VTR because it will adversely affect the performance of the VTR.

No Fingers or Other Objects Inside

Touching internal parts of this VTR is dangerous, and may cause serious damage to the VTR. Do not attempt to

disassemble the VTR. There are no user serviceable parts inside.

Video Head Clogging

The video heads place picture signals on the tape during recording and read picture signals from the tape during playback and they are, therefore, of critical importance for the picture quality. If the VTR is used over extremely long periods of time, these heads may still become dirty and clogged. 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, during

the playback of a tape, the sound is reproduced normally, but no picture is seen, or the picture is greatly distorted. When such a symptom case occurs have the recorder checked by qualified service personnel.

Condensation may form in the VTR if:

•The VTR is in a room when the heater has just been turned on.

•The VTR is in a room with steam or high humidity.

•The VTR is brought from cold surroundings into a wed-heated room.

•The VTR is suddenly brought from cool surroundings, such as an air-conditioned room or car, to a place which is hot and humid.

Note:

Do not operate the VTR for at least 1 hour if any of the above conditions occur. This VTR does not incorporate a dew sensor.

Keep Water away

Keep the VTR away from flower vases, tubs, sinks, etc. CAUTION: If liquids are spilled into the VTR, serious damage could occur. If you spill any liquid into the VTR, consult qualified service personnel.

Lightning

To avoid damage by lightning, disconnect the aerial plug

from the VTR.

Cleaning the VTR

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

Stacking

Place the VTR in a horizontal position, and do not place

anything heavy on it.

Connections

This tells you how to connect with an aerial, TV, etc.

Basic Connections

The following connections are required to record anc back the VTR through TV set:

Connection to a TV Set with S-Video Socket

This VTR uses the S-VHS format that makes it possible to obtain high resolution and high picture quality by using the

high-performance S-VHS video cassette tapes.

The conventional video sockets of VTRs output (input) a combination of the luminance signal (Y) and colour signal

(C) which are recorded on the video tape. The new S (Separate)-Video Socket allows separate transmission of signals in order to obtain clearer pictures.

The connection with the S-Video Cable can also be used for playback of a tape that was recorded in the conventional VHS system. The “S" in the “S-Video Socket" stands for

“SEPARATED Y/C" not for “S-VHS".

With this button the connected colour TV set can be

switched from TV mode to VTR mode (vice versa) when it is

connected by means of 21 -pin scart cable.

This makes a variety of functions possible, such as

simultaneous recording and viewing when a Pay TV (e.g.

Canal Plus, Filmnet) decoder or a satellite receiver has been connected.

Controller for the ShowView

Programming

This remote controller uses specially designated numbers

called “guide numbers’’ to differentiate between the TV stations. Before programming using the ShowView numbers, you must enter the guide numbers of the TV stations to be viewed and the programme positions at which those TV stations are received on the VTR into the remote controller. Have a newspaper or magazine at hand which lists the TV station guide numbers and ShowView numbers.

Power Source for the Remote

Controller

The remote controller is powered by 2 “UM3" or "R6” size batteries. The life of the batteries is about one year,

although this depends on the frequency of use.

Precautions for Battery Replacement

• Do not apply heat to the batteries, or an internal

short-circuit may occur.

• If you do not intend to use the remote controller for a long

period of time, remove the batteries and store them in a

cool and dry place.

• Remove spent batteries immediately and dispose of them.

•Do not use an old and a new battery together, and never

use an alkaline battery with a manganese battery.

Optional Function

VITC (Vertical Interval Time Code) Function

As an address (individual number) is recorded for each

frame, it is possible to find the accurate position of any

desired scene or picture on a tape by checking the address during playback. This address is called “Time Code”. Since the VITC signals (Vertical Interval Time Code) are recorded together with the picture signals, they will not be cancelled even when the video cassette is taken out from the VTR or the VTR is switched off. This makes it possible to check the precise position of any desired picture at any time.

•The VITC function becomes operative when the VTR is equipped with the optional VITC adaptor. Consult your authorized video dealer.

written starting at OhOOmOOsOOf.

If recording is started after the tape has been played back and the VITC signals read, the VITC signals will be written following on from the time code which is displayed on the counter at that time.

Notes:

•To use the VITC function to edit, be sure to first turn on the VITC function with the procedure described above, then begin editing after cancelling all editing programmes used last time.

•When tracking is out of adjustment, the VITC signals may not be properly read,

•The counter cannot be reset when the VITC function is on. This is because the VITC signals are recorded on the tape.

•When the VITC function is on, up to 50 scenes can be programmed in the programme assemble editing mode.

If the VTR is not equipped with the optional VITC adaptor, a maximum of 10 scenes can be programmed using the counter.

•To make optimal use of the advantages offered by the VITC function during editing, this VTR should be connected to another NV-HS1000 also equipped with the

VITC function. When this VTR is to be connected to another unit which is not equipped with the VITC function, the editing precision will be increased if the NV-HS1000 is used as the playback VTR.
