Panasonic AJ-D700P - Manual (Page 99)

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.
