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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Using the Mini-DV format Digital Video Head Cleaner:

1. Insert the Head Cleaner into the VCR in the same way as a video cassette.
2. Press ▶ (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.

For your safety, please read the following text carefully.

This appliance is supplied with a moulded three-pin mains plug for your safety and convenience. A 5-ampere fuse is fitted in this plug.

Should the fuse need to be replaced, please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 5 amperes and is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS 1362.

Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse.

If the plug contains a removable fuse cover, you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced.

If you lose the fuse cover, the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained.

A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local Panasonic dealer.

IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME, THEN THE FUSE SHOULD BE REMOVED AND THE PLUG CUT OFF AND DISPOSED OF SAFELY. THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK IF THE CUT-OFF PLUG IS INSERTED INTO ANY 13-AMPERE SOCKET.

If in any doubt, please consult a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT

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 .

When the tape movement is unstable during recording, the playback picture may shake from side to side and the picture may become distorted.

Activating the Time Base Corrector in a case like this stabilizes the picture and reduces shaking.

• Press the TBC button before recording to activate the "TBC" function so that the "TBC" indication appears on the VCR display.
• We recommend that you leave this function activated for normal use of the VCR.
• When you cannot ensure high playback picture quality, press the TBC button to cancel the "TBC" function so that the "TBC" indication is turned off.
• Only when A1-A4 is selected by pressing the INPUT SELECT button, the "TBC" function will be activated. This function has an effect only for tapes on which analogue signals from A1-A4 have been recorded. However, on the TV screen, you cannot confirm the effect of this function during recording.
• In the initial settings, "TBC" is "ON."

To Manually Adjust the Audio Recording Level

Under normal circumstances, this VCR adjusts the recording level to prevent sound distortion due to peaks. However, if you want to manually adjust the audio recording level or if sound distortion appears when you confirm the audio output, perform the operation steps below before you start the actual recording.

Adjust the recording sound with the AUDIO REC LEVEL knob.

• Press the knob once so that it pops out. (To close the front door, press the knob into the VCR.)
• Turn the knob so that the audio level indication on the VCR display is not "OVER".

• This function has an effect only for tapes on which analogue signals from A1-A4 have been recorded. You cannot adjust the audio level from DV input. (However, you can adjust the audio level by connecting to the external input socket.)

To Change the Audio Mix Sound Balance

Select "Mix sound" during playback in the 12-bit audio mode, then turn the AUDIO MIX knob to adjust the balance.

• Press the knob once so that it pops out. (To close the front door, press the knob into the VCR.)
• Turn the knob to the left to increase the "ST1" sound, or to the right to increase the "ST2" sound. The audio track cannot be selected during the playback of a tape recorded in the 16 bit audio mode.

- Use the STEREO SELECT button to select the audio, and then adjust the balance.

Index Search System

It is easy to find the beginning of each recording because a special index signal is recorded at the start of each recorded segment on the tape.

For example:

Searching for the 2nd recorded segment in the forward direction.

1 Press SEARCH SELECT so that "—" appears on the VCR display. (This operation is performed while the VCR is in the stop mode or normal playback mode.)

2 Press INDEX/PHOTO ▶ twice.

• Normal playback now commences.

To stop the operation at any time Press ■ (STOP).

• After finding the specific recorded segment, playback starts automatically.
• For the reverse direction, press INDEX/PHOTO ◀◀.
• Up to 20 index signals can be searched for in either direction.
• When the opposite INDEX/PHOTO is pressed, the number shall be decreased until 1 is reached.
• The figure on the display is reduced by 1 each time an index signal is located.
• The index search function can only work correctly if the index signals are spaced at least 5 minutes apart.
• Repeat the procedure if the index signal for the specified number is not found.

Recording Index Signals

Index signals are recorded in the following cases.

- When a recording is started by pressing ● (REC/OTR).

- When ● (REC) on the editing controller is pressed during recording.

Photoshot Index Search System

Photoshot index signals are automatically recorded when a Panasonic Digital Video Camera is used for photo shot shooting. Photo shot images are searched using these signals, and when such an image is located, the image is played back as a still picture.

For example:

Searching for the 2nd photo shot image in the forward direction.

1 Press SEARCH SELECT so that "P --" appears on the VCR display.

2 Press INDEX/PHOTO ▶▶ twice.

- The image to be viewed will be found.

- For the reverse direction, press INDEX/PHOTO ◀◀.

- Any of up to 20 images ahead on the tape can be designated.

- It may not be possible to search for a particular image properly if photo shot images have been recorded continuously.

- At every press of the corresponding button, the tape is fast-forwarded or rewound to the next still picture recorded in the Photoshot Mode.

- During playback, after reaching the still picture, the still picture is played back continually together with the sound (only for approx. 4 seconds).

To return to a specified scene (zero stop function)

1 Press RESET to set the counter to 0:00.00.

2 After playback, press ZERO STOP in the stop mode.

Assemble Editing

Allows the required scenes (picture and sound) to be picked up from a recorded tape and recorded in any desired order onto another tape.

Performing the Programme Assemble editing operation on a tape that was recorded in 12bit audio mode.

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 Insert, 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 ▶ (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 [58].

Connecting with a Panasonic Digital Video Camera

Example for connecting Panasonic NV-DS25 Digital Video Camera as the playback unit, when controlling the playback unit through the NV-DV2000.

Notes:

• Before connecting any cables, first make sure that the power for both units is off.
• Insert a recorded cassette into the playback unit, and a cassette with the closed record prevention tab into the VCR.
• If the playback unit is connected to the recording unit via an S-VIDEO cable, the video signal on the S-VIDEO cable takes priority. If the playback unit does not have an S-VIDEO socket, do not connect the S-VIDEO cable to the NV-DV2000.
• Use of an AC adaptor as the power source for the Digital Video Camera is recommended. Doing so avoids a situation where the camera shuts down due to low battery power.
• It is recommended that the DV cable be disconnected for editing with INPUT SELECT set to A1-A4. If INPUT SELECT is set to A1-A4 with the connections shown in the figure left unchanged, the TV picture may be disturbed or noise may occur. (This has no effect on the actual editing operations.)
• When the units are connected using the DV cable and editing is performed, some editing functions will differ compared with when the units are connected using the AV cables. Refer to Glossary of Terms on [58].
• Read the operating instructions of the Digital Video movie Camera.

Notes:

• Programme Editing can be performed using either the tape counter or Time code display.
• If you attempt to switch to the tape counter display in order to perform editing after setting the editing points using the Time code display, the Erase all programmes screen is displayed.

(The Erase all programmes screen is also displayed when you change from the tape counter display to the Time code display.)

• Programme editing can not be performed with a video movie camera that has a 4-digit counter.
• After setting a programme, if you attempt to set another programme in a different editing mode, the set contents for the previous editing mode remain on the setting screen. In order to prevent editing errors, perform the Erase all programmes operation [53] whenever you set a programme under a different editing mode.

- Audio Dubbing is not possible in the following cases:

When the tape in the recording VCR (the NV-DV2000) is:

Recorded in 16-bit audio mode;

Recorded in LP mode;

Blank, or contains a blank portion in the middle

When INPUT SELECT is set to DV1 or DV2.

• The Programme Insert and Audio Dubbing functions require the setting of only three editing points: the in and out points on the playback unit and the in point on the recording unit, or the in point on the playback unit and the in and out points on the recording unit.
• If both in and out points are set on both the playback unit and the recording unit, and the times between the points do not match, editing stops at the first out point that is reached.
• In order to ensure that the editing operation is performed properly, the editing points should be set at least 20 seconds after the beginning of the tape.
• The editing operation may not be performed correctly if the set duration of a programme is less than 4 seconds.
• On a video equipment whose Time code display or tape counter display does not show the frame value, the area where the frame value is displayed appears as "00f" or it remains blank.

With some units, the frame value may be displayed when MARK IN or MARK OUT is pressed in steps 5 and 6 even if the unit concerned does not show the frame value.

- Up to ±1 second of slight deviation in the specified edit start/end position can be corrected. See [54] for Edit Timing Adjustment.

Note:

- Programmes set in the recording unit for the Assemble editing function cannot be inserted or erased.

When performing editing in conjunction with a unit which has a different mechanism, there may be a lag in the edit start point due to a deviation between the time a pause cancellation signal is received by the recording unit and the time recording actually begins.

Edit Timing Adjustment is used to compensate the edit start and end time in light of this start-up time deviation.

Programme Editing

After setting edit start/end points, the actual editing operation may start slightly before or slightly after the position that was set, depending on the equipment that is connected.

On Screen Display

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.

Preparation

- Complete necessary connections and settings.

Settings for the tape in the playback unit

1 Insert the tape to be used for the playback unit in this VCR, and set the switches as shown below.

2 Register the playback unit's editing programmes. (Refer to the procedure for Programme Editing on pages 46 to 51.) 3 Remove the tape to be used for the playback unit from this VCR, and insert it in the playback unit. (Leave the playback unit in the playback mode.)

Settings for the tape in the recording unit

4 Insert the tape to be used for the recording VCR, and set the switches as shown below.

5 Register the recording VCR's editing programmes. (Refer to the procedure for Programme Editing on pages 46 to 51.) 6 Edit the registered programmes. (Refer to the procedure for Programme Editing on pages 46 to 51.)

Note:

- This function cannot be used for editing operations involving AV Insert, Audio Dubbing or Audio Mixing.

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 mosaic-like 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.

- Horizontal 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 start 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 description 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.

- During playback, the picture may become the afterimage. In such a case, cancel the 3D DNR function.
