<Notes>

21: This error message always appears in the E-E mode.

In such a case, black signals are recorded as the video signals, and the audio signals are muted. 22: This error message always appears in the E-E mode.

In such a case, the audio signals are muted.

23: This error message always appears in the E-E mode.

In such a case, the time code of the time code generator inside the AJ-HD1200A is recorded as the time code signal. 24: This error message always appears in the E-E mode.

In such a case, no signals can be output using the digital video interface.

Condensation

Condensation forms in the unit and on the tape following the same principle which is behind the formation of droplets of water (condensation) on the window panes of a heated room. This phenomenon occurs when the unit or tape is moved to a location with significantly different temperature and humidity levels. Condensation forms when:

O The unit (or tape) is moved to a high-humidity place filled with steam or to a room immediately after it has been heated up.

O The unit (or tape) is suddenly moved from a cool place to a place with high temperature and humidity levels.

When the unit (or tape) has been moved to such a place, do not turn on the power immediately but leave the unit (or tape) standing for about 10 minutes. When condensation has formed in the unit, the “– – d – –” error message lights on the counter display, and the cassette tape is automatically ejected.

Keep the power on, and wait until the error message is cleared.
