Panasonic AJ-D700P Controlling the external VTR with the unit’s switches, 26P Control on

Controlling the external VTR with the unit’s switches

Setting the 26P CONTROL function as indicated below at the FUNCTION 3/5 page of the setting menu prevents the internal VTR from being operated and enables only the external VTR to be controlled by the VTR START button of the unit or the VTR button of the lens.

26P CONTROL: ON

See “Selecting Functions” (page 65) for a description of FUNCTION 3/5 page operations.

Switching from the internal VTR to the external VTR

If the internal VTR experiences problems (tapes becoming tangled, condensation, etc.) during operation and becomes unable to operate, the VTR START button of the unit and the VTR button of the lens will not function. In these cases, setting the 26P CONTROL function as noted above at the FUNCTION 3/5 page allows the external VTR to be operated in place of the internal VTR using the VTR START button of the unit or the VTR button of the lens.

Starting recording

Operate the external VTR to set it to recording paused status and press the VTR START button of the unit or the VTR button of the lens. The external VTR starts recording. Pressing the button again sets the VTR to the recording paused status.

Output level of the 26-pin output adaptor

When the unit is shipped from the factory, the audio level is set to –60 dBu balanced and the component video level is set to Sony level (see page 98). The audio level can be set to –20 dBu unbalanced and the component video level to MII level with an internal switch. Consult your dealer for a detailed description.
