FOIRE AUX QUESTIONS - NV-HS1000BYP PANASONIC

Comment programmer un enregistrement différé sur le Panasonic NV-HS1000BYP ?

Utilisez la touche PROG ou PROGRAM sur la télécommande. Entrez la date, l'heure de début et de fin, et le numéro de chaîne. Confirmez avec OK. Insérez une cassette vierge et assurez-vous que l'horloge est à l'heure.

Pourquoi l'image est-elle neigeuse ou instable ?

Cela peut être dû à des têtes de lecture sales. Utilisez une cassette de nettoyage spéciale VHS. Vérifiez aussi les connexions des câbles péritel ou antenne.

Comment régler l'horloge du magnétoscope ?

Appuyez sur la touche MENU ou SET UP, puis naviguez jusqu'à l'option CLOCK. Utilisez les touches + et - pour régler la date et l'heure. Validez avec OK.

La cassette reste bloquée à l'intérieur, que faire ?

Débranchez l'appareil pendant 30 secondes, puis rebranchez-le. Si la cassette ne sort pas, utilisez un objet fin pour l'éjecter manuellement (par le trou d'éjection) ou contactez un réparateur.

Puis-je connecter le magnétoscope à une télévision moderne ?

Oui, si votre téléviseur dispose d'une entrée péritel (SCART) ou d'un adaptateur HDMI vers péritel. Utilisez un câble péritel pour la meilleure qualité.

Comment nettoyer les têtes de lecture ?

Achetez une cassette de nettoyage VHS (type sèche). Insérez-la et laissez-la tourner pendant 10 à 15 secondes. Ne pas utiliser de liquides ou d'objets directement sur les têtes.

Le magnétoscope n'enregistre pas, que vérifier ?

Assurez-vous que la cassette a la languette de protection intacte (non cassée). Vérifiez que le mode d'enregistrement est activé (REC). Si le problème persiste, les têtes peuvent être usées.

Comment passer de la lecture à l'enregistrement ?

Appuyez sur la touche STOP si une bande est en lecture, puis sur REC (enregistrement). Pour un enregistrement immédiat, utilisez REC directement. Attention : cela efface le contenu existant sur la cassette.

Que faire si la télécommande ne fonctionne plus ?

Remplacez les piles (deux piles AA). Vérifiez qu'il n'y a pas d'obstacle entre la télécommande et le capteur infrarouge du magnétoscope. Essayez de pointer directement vers l'appareil.

Tuning the TV to your VTR

The VTR supplies a signal to the TV set via the RF coaxial cable on channel 36 of the UK broadcasting system. Your TV must be tuned into this channel in order to view the VTR playback picture.

If the connection to the TV includes the 21-pin scart cable or Audio/Video/S-Video cable, the playback picture can be viewed by selecting AV on your TV. The RF coaxial cable must still be connected as shown on page 8, but the TV need not be tuned to channel 36.

Setting the Clock of the VTR using the Remote Controller

The built-in clock is used to activate the timer for automatic recording and must be set to the correct time.

Storing TV Broadcasts into your VTR

The VTR is fitted with its own TV tuner (just like a normal TV set) and can be tuned to receive up to 99 TV broadcast stations.

Setting the Remote Controller for Operation of your TV

You can operate some manufactures of TV using the supplied remote controller after this setting up.

Connections

Basic Connections

The following connections are required to record and play back the VTR through TV set.

Connection to a TV Set with 21-Pin Scart Terminal

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".

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.

Follow steps 1 to 3 of the above procedure.

ON: For reading the VITC signals during playback and writing them during recording. The time code is indicated on the counter in increments of hours, minutes and seconds. During programme editing, it appears on the screen in increments of hours, minutes, seconds and frames (25 frames per second).

OFF: The normal counter is displayed.

Reading the VITC signals

"-.-.-." appears on the counter when the cassette is inserted. When playback is started, the VITC signals are read and the time code is displayed.

- When VITC signals have not been written on the tape, the time code is not displayed.

Writing the VITC signals

"-:--." appears on the counter when the cassette is inserted. When recording is started, the VITC signals are written starting at 0h00m00s00f.

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.

PDC (Programme Delivery Control)

The Programme Delivery Control (PDC) is a very convenient system which assures that the TV programmes you have programmed for timer recording will be recorded exactly from beginning to end, even if the actual broadcasting time differs from the scheduled time due to delayed start or extension of the programme duration. Also, if a programme is interrupted and, for example, some special news are inserted, the recording will also be interrupted automatically and resumed when the programme continues.

• The PDC indicator lights when the correct PDC signals are transmitted from the broadcasting station.
• When the unit is set for programmed recording, the PDC indicator lights whether or not PDC signals are transmitted. This indicates that the recording has been programmed with PDC. To programme a recording without PDC, press SLEEP (SHIFT) in step 2: this cancels the PDC function and turns off the PDC indicator. If not cancelled, timer programmed start time will be delayed by up to 1 minute.
• In the case of PDC recording, use the correct time (PDC time) for recording the TV programmes. PDC recording is not performed when the time (PDC time) is incorrect, even if only by one minute, i.e. start time as published TV programme guide in newspaper, magazine, teletext, etc.
• Since PDC signals are received when a recording is programmed using PDC, the power of the unit's tuner section is turned on and the programmed broadcasting is received. When a multiple number of programmes have been programmed for timer recording, all of the broadcasts concerned will be received in sequence. These broadcast pictures can be seen on the video playback channel and AV out (no sound).
• If the actual broadcasting times of timer recordings overlap (regardless of whether they are PDC-controlled), the recording that starts first always has priority, and the recording of the next programme will start only after the first timer recording has finished.
• When the PDC signal drops out because the broadcast signal is weak, or when a broadcasting station does not transmit a regular PDC signal, the timer recording will be performed in the normal mode (without PDC) even if it was programmed for PDC.
  In this case, even if the timer recording is performed, whatever has been programmed will not be cancelled at that particular time until 4 a.m. on the following day.
• When programmes aired by different TV stations are programmed by PDC at a time when one programme ends as another starts, the first minute at the start of the second programme will not be recorded.

The NICAM Broadcast System

NICAM is a 2 Channel sound broadcast system to provide either a high quality stereo sound track or 2 independent MONO sound tracks, M1 and M2.

NICAM programmes are always accompanied by standard sound broadcasts and you can select the desired sound with NICAM/MONO (when recording) or with AUDIO OUT (when playback).

The NICAM digital stereo sound can only be recorded on the Hi-Fi audio track.

When a stereo, dual-soundtrack or mono NICAM programme is being received, the indicators are lit to inform you of the type of broadcast.

Reception of a NICAM Stereo Broadcast

When the STEREO indicator is lit. set NICAM/MONO to NICAM to be able to record on the Hi-Fi sound track in stereo.

The Audio cable or the 21 pin scart cable must also be connected to a stereo TV in order to hear the NICAM sound in stereo.

Reception of a NICAM Dual-Sound Broadcast

When the M1 and M2 indicators are lit, set NICAM/MONO to NICAM if you want to record both channels on the Hi-Fi sound track. M1 is the left-hand channel and M2 is the right-hand channel.

Reception of a NICAM Monaural Broadcast

When a NICAM monaural broadcast is being received, only the M1 indicator is lit. To hear such a signal on both channels and to record it on both channels of the Hi-Fi track, set NICAM/MONO to NICAM.

- To record the regular sound (ordinary normal sound) on the FM audio tracks when a NICAM programme is received, set NICAM/MONO to MONO.

Important Note for the NICAM System:

When this VTR tuner is switched on, it will automatically switch to a NICAM broadcast, if NICAM is being transmitted. During test transmissions, it is possible that the sound received doesn't correspond to the picture being viewed. In order to receive a synchronized sound and picture, select monaural sound with either AUDIO OUT or with NICAM/MONO. This will only apply until NICAM transmissions are fully operational.

At this time the NICAM signal is transmitted on stereo channels only, since the M1 and M2 formats are not yet available. Even if the soundtrack is in MONO the stereo indicator will remain illuminated.

VHS Index Search System

It is very 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.

Press INDEX ▶▶ twice.

●After finding the specific recorded segment, playback starts automatically.
- For the reverse direction, press INDEX
- Up to 20 programmes can be searched for in both directions.

Recording Index Signals

Index signals are recorded in following cases.

WRITE indicator appears on the Display.

• When a recording is started by pressing REC.
• When REC is pressed during recording.
• When timer recording is activated.
• When WRITE is pressed during playback.

NTSC Playback

Tapes recorded in the NTSC system can be played back with this VTR via a PAL system TV set.

• The playback picture may roll up or down. If the TV set is equipped with a V-HOLD control, it may be possible to stop the picture movement by adjusting this control.
• Depending on the TV set used, the picture may be in black and white. However, this is not an indication of a malfunction.
• NTSC is the TV broadcasting system used in U.S.A., Japan, and some other countries. PAL is another TV broadcasting system used in U.K., Germany and many other parts of the world. This VTR will not replay or record tapes on the SECAM broadcasting system.
  PAL 525/60 is modified version of the PAL broadcasting system to allow most UK TV's to reproduce a colour picture when an NTSC tape is replayed on this VTR. However due to the system change, the picture may shrink, roll or not reproduce colour on some televisions.

Note:

Because the PAL 525/60 is not a true PAL signal, NTSC recordings cannot be dubbed onto another VTR. In addition, NTSC tapes replayed on this VTR, cannot be dubbed onto another VTR.

Edit Timing Adjustment

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.

1 Record the second hand on a stopwatch with a movie camera.
2 Insert this recorded cassette into the playback unit, and a cassette with an intact erasure prevention tab into the recording VTR.
3 Using the point where the second hand reaches zero as the edit start point, perform copying.
4 Play back the copied tape, and check how many seconds had elapsed at the recording start point.
- If timing is correct, recording should begin at exactly zero seconds.
5 Select TIMING ADJUST from the screen below.

6 Press ENTER.

7 Adjust the timing for the start point by setting the amount of the discrepancy of the second hand.

• The setting is displayed in frame ( 1/25 of a second) units. Thus if, for example, one second had elapsed, set to -25 .
• Corrections can be made in the range of ±30 frames (1.2 second).

8 Adjust the timing for the end point in the same manner.

Note:

Edit timing adjustment function only works during programme editing.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

Tape Care

Some do's and don'ts on tape care.

DO:

1) Use a good quality branded tape, such as Panasonic.
2) Keep in the Box supplied with your tape, or a video case, when not in use.
3) Try to use all the tape on a cassette by making recordings not only at the tape start but also in the middle and end sections. This will avoid many repeated recordings at the beginning of the tape resulting in premature wear.
4) Take care to insert a tape correctly into the VTR to avoid damage.

DO NOT:

1) Expose the tape to high humidity or temperature.
2) Expose to liquid.
3) Expose to dust particles by storing directly on a carpet for example.
4) Use a damaged tape or attempt to repair.
5) Dismantle the cassette housing.
6) Attempt to lift the front cassette flap or touch the tape surface.
