FEATURES

Digital NR Switch

This switch can be used to minimize noise in all pictures played back or received through the VTR.

Digital Special Effect

The special digital picture effects can be enjoyed by using the Remote Controller.

1-Month Calendar Timer

The clock/timer of the VTR is programmed with the calendar up to the end of 2001, so it knows exactly what day of the week it is on any given date. Programming of as many as 8 timer recordings is possible up to one month in advance.

Auto Operation

The extremely convenient Auto Operation functions of this VTR include Auto Start and Auto Play when a recorded cassette is inserted, Auto Eject which indicates that an inserted cassette is not suitable for recording, Power-Off Eject for ejecting a cassette even with the VTR off, and Auto Rewind at the end of a tape. If the VTR On/Off Switch is pressed during the rewind mode including Auto Rewind, the VTR will eject the cassette and turn itself off when rewinding is completed.

Super OTR Function (One-Touch Timer Recording)

This convenient function makes it possible to easily programme the VTR for recording of TV programmes with immediate start or with start within 24 hours by precisely setting the starting time and ending time to the desired minute.

Power Source for the Remote Controller

The Remote Controller is powered by two IEC "R6" size batteries. The life of the batteries is about one year, however, it depends on the frequency of use. Inspect and if necessary, replace the batteries once a year.

CAUTION FOR BATTERY REPLACEMENT

• Load the new batteries with their polarities (⊕ and ⊖) aligned correctly.
• Do not apply heat to batteries, or 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 batteries together. (Also never use an alkaline battery with a manganese battery.)

③ Replace the lid.

Note:

●The infra-red beam should be transmitted directly at the Infra-red Remote Control Receiver on the front of the VTR.
- Direct sunlight may interfere with the beam.
- The lightsensing angle of the Infra-red Remote Control Receiver window in the VTR is about 60°.
- The unit should be used within a range of about 7 meters from the front of the VTR.

INSTALLATION

Consult your Panasonic dealer for advice about a suitable cable to use for connection to the AV Socket. Connecting the VTR to the TV set via the AV Socket of both units assures optimum picture quality.

Connection to a TV Set without AV Socket

1 Connect the external aerial to the RF Input Socket on the VTR.
② Connect the aerial terminal on your TV set to the RF Output Socket on the VTR with the supplied DIN-DIN Coaxial Cable.
3 Connect the AC Mains Lead to the AC Mains Socket of the VTR, and a mains outlet.

Note:

Connect the Audio/Video Output Sockets to the Input Sockets on the TV set (if equipped with these Sockets) for watching the TV in AV mode.

Connection to a TV Set with AV Socket

• For a suitable AV cable, consult an authorised dealer.

1 Connect the external aerial to the RF Input Socket on the VTR.
2 Connect the aerial terminal on your TV set to the RF Output Socket on the VTR with the supplied DIN-DIN Coaxial Cable.
3 Connect the AV Socket on the VTR to the AV Socket on the TV set.

BEFORE REQUESTING SERVICE

CAUTIONS

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. In this case, the Dew Indicator "d" will flash on and off and the VTR will not operate.

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.

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.

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.

Video Head Clogging

The video heads are the means by which the recorder places picture signals on the tape during recording, and reads picture signals from the tape during playback. If these heads become dirty and clogged from long use, 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.

If Dew Condensation Forms in the VTR

Condensation may form in the VTR if:

●The VTR is in a room where 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 well-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.

When dew forms in the VTR: (Refer to page 6.)

The Dew Indicator "d" on the Multi-Function Display will flash on and off and all the function buttons are made non-operational to protect the tape and the video heads.

When the Dew Indicator flashes, wait until this indicator disappears.

- If dew condensation forms inside the VTR while the VTR On/Off Switch is off, it will turn on automatically and the Dew Indicator will flash on and off. As soon as the dew condensation has been dissolved, the VTR will turn itself off again.
