Features  
This HD VTR is a hi-vision digital VTR for recording and playing back the video and audio signals complying  
with BTAS-001A (1125/60 high-definition TV system studio standard) and SMPTE 274M standards.  
By image-compressing the hi-vision signals and digitally recording them, this unit delivers up to 124 minutes  
1
of recording and playback using a /2q cassette (the maximum length with the 1080/23.98p format is  
155 minutes.). It is possible to switch between the following system formats to record and play back the sig-  
nals in one of these formats: 1080/23.98p (8-channel audio), 1080/24p (8-channel audio), 1080/25p  
(8-channel audio), 1080/59.94i (4-channel audio version), 1080/59.94i (8-channel audio version), 1080/50i  
(8-channel audio), 720/59.94p (4-channel audio version), 720/59.94p (8-channel audio version), 576/50i  
(8-channel audio), 480/59.94i (4-channel audio version) and 480/59.94i (8-channel audio version).  
Only playback is possible with 576/50i (4 audio channels) format tapes which have been recorded using the  
VTR (AJ-D580).  
Simultaneous output of HD (hi-vision signals) and SD (standard signals) can be achieved.  
In the case of the 1080/23.98p, 1080/24p and 1080/25p formats, the 1080/23.98psf, 1080/24psf and  
1080/25psf (Progressive Segmented Frame) formats which divide the frames into two segments every  
1/47.96, 1/48 and 1/50 of a second, respectively, for interfacing are also used.  
Picture/sound quality at a reasonable price  
High picture quality digital recording of signals complying with studio standard  
The hi-vision studio standard signals, which have been 10-bit quantized using sampling frequencies of  
74.25 MHz for Y signals and 37.125 MHz for the PB and PR signals, are image-compressed and digitally  
recorded to meet the full range of specifications under the hi-vision studio standard.  
Virtually distortion-free recording and playback at a low compression rateand with a signal-to-noise ratio of  
60 dB and a wide band (Y: 30 MHz, PB/PR: 15 MHz), which have to date proved difficult to achieve with  
analog VTRs using 1/2-inch tapesare now made possible by utilizing a high recording rate of around  
300 Mbps: the result is a consistently high picture quality all the way through from the initial recording to  
editing.  
Compact size, light weight and low power consumption  
The unit is compact (height equivalent to 5U, depth at 201/2q), lightweight (69.96 lbs), low in power consump-  
tion (260 W) and easy to handle.  
High cost performance  
In addition to featuring the basic functions and performance of HDD5, this HDVTR makes it possible to switch  
between the 1080/23.98p (8-channel audio), 1080/24p (8-channel audio), 1080/25p (8-channel audio),  
1080/59.94i (4-channel audio version), 1080/59.94i (8-channel audio version), 1080/50i (8-channel audio),  
720/59.94p (4-channel audio version), 720/59.94p (8-channel audio version), 576/50i (8-channel audio),  
480/59.94i (4-channel audio version) and 480/59.94i (8-channel audio version) system formats to record and  
play back the signals in one of these formats. Furthermore, installation of a format converter board enables  
HS and SD signals to be output simultaneously.  
Digital audio with high sound quality  
A high sound quality with a dynamic range of 100 dB is delivered by 20 (24)-bit 48 kHz sampling. Not only  
can recording, playback and editing be conducted separately for each of the 4 (8) channels but channel mix-  
ing is also possible. Moreover, one channel is provided for the analog (cue) track. (At 1080/23.98p,  
1080/24p, 1080/25p, 1080/50i and 576/50i formats, 8-channel audio and 24 bit format.)  
With the 1080/59.94i, 480/59.94i, or 720/59.94p system format, either the 4-channel 20-bit format or the 8-  
channel 24-bit format can be selected. However, due caution should be exercised in operation since the  
recording format used for the 8-channel audio version and the one used for the 4-channel audio version dif-  
fer, and these differences pertain to their video recording areas as well. As such, these two system formats  
are not mutually compatible.  
Compact 1/2z tape cassette  
Two sizes of cassette, [L: 124 minutes (1080/59.94i, 720/59.94p and 480i), 149 minutes (1080/50i,  
1080/25p), 155 minutes (1080/23.98p and 1080/24p), 112 minutes (576/50i) and M: 63 minutes  
(1080/59.94i, 720/59.94p and 480/59.94i), can be used with this unit: this enables the size best suited to the  
intended application to be selected. The compact 1/2q cassette takes up minimal storage space and offers ex-  
cellent handling ease.

Features  
I/O specifications and interfaces  
Serial digital I/O facilities  
The unit is equipped with hi-vision serial digital interfaces which meet the BTAS-004A, S-005A and S-006A  
standards and which enable both video and audio signals to be transferred using the same coaxial cable. An  
SD (525/625-line standard TV) serial digital interface is provided for operation with HD/SD mixing.  
Format converter function  
A format converter board has already been equipped in the unit as a standard accesory. This facilitates con-  
version between HD and SD, and it makes the integrated production of Hi-Vision and standard TV broadcast  
much simpler.  
In addition to the composite analog signals, a serial digital interface (SDI signals) which can switch the mul-  
tiplex transfer of audio signals ON or OFF is included in the SD output signals. SDI signals enable digital con-  
nection to a DVCPRO/D5VTR.  
AES audio input/output facilities  
Separate digital audio inputs and outputs are provided for each of the 4 (8) channels, and standard interfac-  
ing with a variety of digital audio units is possible. (8 channels with 1080/23.98p, 1080/24p, 1080/25p,  
1080/50i and 576/50i formats. 4 channels/8 channels with 1080/59.94i, 720/59.94p and 480/59.94i formats.)  
Remote control  
In addition to the standard 9-pin serial (RS-422A) connector, 50P parallel and RS-232C connectors are pro-  
vided on the unit for remote control. An AV control connector is also featured.  
Slow motion, search and editing functions  
Slow motion/jog  
The incorporation of Panasonics unique AT (auto tracking) mechanism makes slow-motion playback and  
jogging possible at a speed which can be varied from j1k to i2k normal tape speed.  
50t shuttle search  
Shuttle search is possible at up to 50k normal tape speed in the forward or reverse direction.  
Simultaneous playback monitoring

Recording  
The REF synchronization specifications applying when the 1080/23p, 24p or 25p True-P (Non-PsF) sys-  
tem format is selected are the same specifications as for the PsF system format. Use an interlace format  
signal for the HD tri-level SYNC signal.  
The True-P (Non-PsF) input/output interface does not support EMBEDDED AUDIO/TC/VANC.  
The enhance and filter response picture quality adjustments do not work for True-P (Non-PsF) outputs.  
Other signals cannot be superimposed onto HD monitor outputs using True-P signals.  
When PsF signals have been recorded using a PsF system format and they are subsequently played back  
using a True-P system format, the PsF signals are converted into True-P signals. Conversely, when True-  
P signals have been recorded using a True-P system format and they are subsequently played back using  
a PsF system format, the True-P signals are converted into PsF signals.  
Bear in mind that when recording 1080/50i signals using the 1080/25PsF system format, the signals will be  
recorded but the images will be blurred.

Video head cleaning  
Although this unit comes with an auto head cleaning function which reduces the amount of dirt on the heads,  
it is recommended that the video heads be cleanid every day for even more dependable operation. (For fur-  
ther details, please consult with your local dealer.)  
Operation  
Remove the cover of the upper portion on the cylinder. Soak some alcohol in a cleaning cloth,  
press it lightly against hte middle drum as shown in the figure, and rotate the drum 2 or 3 times  
in the direction indicated by the arrow. After this, wipe the drum dry using a dry cleaning cloth  
and attach the removed cover after completion.  
Cleaning drum  
Middle deum  
Make sure that the power is off before proceeding with the head cleaning.  
Do not move your fingers up and down while cleaning.  
This may damage the heads.  
Cut the cleaning cloth to the right size of the use.  
Proceed with the cleaning until no more dirt is taken up by the cleaning cloth.  
Make absolutely sure that no fluff from the cleaning cloth remains inside the VTR.  
When grease (from the VTR) is found to adhere to the cleaning cloth, be absolutely sure to  
replace the cleaning cloth.  
Before using the optional digital VTR dedicated head cleaning tape (AJ-TDCLS-P) to clean  
the heads, be sure to read carefully the “Precautions” provided with the cleaning tape.  
In addition to cleaning the video heads every day, make it a rule once a week to clean the  
tape transport system and once a month to clean the reel bases and carriage (cassette  
holder, front guide angles). For further details, please consult with your local dealer.  
Maintenance  
Before proceeding with maintenance, set the power switch to “OFF”, and be sure to take hold  
of the power plug (and not the cord) to disconnect it from the power outlet.  
Clean the cabinet with a soft cloth. With stubborn dirt, dilute some neutral kitchen detergent, dip  
the cloth in it, wring it out well and wipe the surface. After the dirt has been wiped off, take up  
any remaining moisture using a dry a cloth. Under no circumstances must paint thinners or  
benzene be used for cleaning purposes.  
Storage  
Do not store the unit in an extremely hot or cold location.  
The unit must never be left outdoor.  
If the unit is not going to be used for a long time, set the power switch to OFF and be sure to  
take hold of the power plug (and not the cord) to disconnect it from the power outlet. This  
step is taken to safeguard against accidents.  
Be sure to eject the cassette tape.

Rack-mounting  
The VTR can be installed in a 19-inch standard rack using the AJ-MA37P rack-mounting adapters (optional  
accessory).  
It is recommended that the slide rail (CC3001-99-0191) made by Chassis Trak be used as the installed rails.  
For further details, consult your dealer.  
1. Attach the inner members on each side of the VTR using the four screws supplied with the  
slide rails .  
The length of the screws used is limited.  
If the mounting screws have been lost or misplaced, use screws with a maximum length of  
2/5˝.  
Be absolutely sure to attach the inner members to the VTR using the screws for all of the  
four holes.  
2. Mount the outer member brackets onto the rack.  
Check that the height of the brackets is the same at the left and right.  
3. Remove the two front screws on the VTR’s two side panels.  
4. Mount the AJ-MA37P rack-mounting adapters using the four supplied M4 screws with spring  
washers.  
Rack-mounting adapter  
5. Mount the VTR in the rack.  
After mounting the VTR, check that it moves smoothly along the rails.  
EIA standard rack  
Secure the VTR to the  
rack here using the  
anchoring screws.  
Keep the temperature inside the rack within the i41 °F (5 °C) to 104 °F (40 °C) range.  
Bolt the rack securely to the floor so that it will not topple over when the VTR is drawn out.

Troubleshooting  
Symptom  
Cause and countermeasure  
VTR fails to operate as per the  
mode selected on the menu  
screen.  
Has the mode been changed on another menu?  
The mode selected last has priority.  
REC INHIBIT takes priority in the following  
sequence: CASSETTE, HOME and  
MANUAL/AUTO EDIT SET UP.  
Therefore, signals cannot be recorded if the REC  
INHIBIT status has been established on the  
cassette tape itself.  
VTR fails to operate even when a  
function button is pressed.  
Check that the CONTROL switch is at LOCAL.  
Recording and/or editing cannot  
be performed.  
Check that the cassette pins are set to the  
recording enable status.  
How to eject the tape in an emergency  
1. Remove four screws from both sides of the front panel and then remove the VTR’s top panel.  
2. The mechanism is moved in the unloading direction by turning the loading motor clockwise.  
Since tape slack now develops, proceed with the following 4 steps to take up the tape.  
3. Insert a screwdriver into hole A (for an S or M cassette) or hole A’ (for an L cassette), and  
press the manual lever of the take-up reel. The tape will be taken up by pressing this lever.  
4. Remove the tape from the cylinder by performing the operations in steps 2 and 3. (When  
turning the loading motor, keep turning it until the position is reached where it will turn no fur-  
ther. Bear in mind that turning the motor past this position will cause the gear engagement  
to fail and/or other problems.)  
5. To release the sub-loading, insert a screwdriver or other tool into hole B, and while turning it  
clockwise, take up the tape by performing the operation in step 3. (Bear in mind that contin-  
uing to turn the screwdriver even after the sub-loading status has been released will cause  
the gear engagement to fail and/or other problems.)  
6. Check that all the tape has been taken up, and that its unloading has been completed. In  
order to eject the cassette, insert a screwdriver or other similar tool into hole C, and turn it  
counterclockwise. (Bear in mind that continuing to turn the screwdriver even after the cas-  
sette has been ejected will cause the gear engagement to fail and/or other problems.)
