AC IN connector
This is for connecting the unit to the power outlet using the power cord provided.
SIGNAL GND terminal
This terminal is connected to the signa unit which is connected to the unit in order to
reduce noise. It is not connected to ground for safety purposes.
 Fuse holder
This contains a fuse.
 Fan motor
This is for cooling the unit.
The error code is displayed on the counter when trouble has caused the fan motor to
stop. If the unit is still operated in the warning status, the temperature inside the deck will
rise, and when it exceeds the safety temperature, all the unit’s operations will be shut
down.
ANALOG AUDIO IN connectors
These are the analog audio input connectors.

This is the connector for recording the external time code on the tape.
 S1-VIDEO IN connector
This is the S-VIDEO input connector.
ANALOG COMPONENT VIDEO IN connector
The analog component video signal is supplied to this connector.
ANALOG COMPOSITE VIDEO IN connectors and 75
W  W termination switch

The analog audio signals are output from these connectors.
TIME CODE OUT connector
The playback time code is output from this connector during playback.
During recording, the time code generated by the internal time code generator is output.
 MONITOR OUT connector
The playback signals from the CUE track or PCM audio signal CH1/CH2 are output from
this connector.

 S1/VIDE0 OUT connector
This is the S-VIDEO output connector.
ANALOG COMPONENT VIDEO OUT connector
The analog component video signal is output from this connector.
ANALOG COMPOSITE VIDEO OUT connectors
The analog composite video signals are output from these connectors.
The video signal with signals superimposed on it can be output from the VIDEO OUT3
connector.
The superimpose function can be set ON or OFF on the setup menu No. 006 (SUPER).
 REMOTE connector
The unit can be controlled from an external source by connecting an external controller.
 ENCODER REMOTE connector
The external encoder/controller is hooked up to this connector when the video output
signal and other settings are to be adjusted from an external source.

Description
Tape designed exclusively for the camcorders used by consumers in
Consumer
general. Only playback is possible using the optional cassette adaptor.
cassetteUse of Panasonic consumer DV cassette tapes is recommended.
(S cassette)Note that inserting a cassette tape without using the cassette adaptor
can damage the unit.
Recording/playback tape with a maximum capacity of 63 minutes.
M cassette(AJ-P12MP, AJ-P23MP, AJ-P33MP, AJ-P63MP)
Recording/playback tape with a maximum capacity of 123 minutes.
L cassette(AJ-P64LP, AJ-P94LP, AJ-P123LP)
Align the cassette with the center of the insertion slot and push it in gently. The cassette
tape is loaded automatically. 

• Consumer tapes are for playback only, they cannot be recorded upon by the AJ-D640/AJ-
D650.
•  Consumer cassette tapes recorded in LP mode cannot be played back.
• Material recorded on consumer tape must be played back and edited to another 
professional VTR.
• The recording functions, recording, Tape/EE and others will not function when Consumer
tape is inserted in the VTR.
• Consumer tape FF/REW speed is VTR limited to ±32×. Slow motion playback is not
possible with consumer cassette tapes.
•  In order to protect the tape, the maximum STILL TIMER for consumer tape is 10 seconds,
and the available time for leaving the tape in STILL mode during STEP FWD mode is set
at 1 minute.
•  Control (CTL) signals are not displayed when consumer tapes are used. Only the time
code is displayed.

signal input. 
						

							When recording, playback & editing with 2 units (deck to deck)
The CONTROL switch on the recorder must be set to the LOCAL position, and the CONTROL switch on the
player must be set to the REMOTE position.
Set the VIDEO IN switch to the
following position:
•  “SERIAL I/F” for serial compo-
nent digital video signal input.*
•  “Y PB PR” for analog compo-
nent video signal input.
•  “CMPST” for analog composite
video signal input.
Set the AUDIO IN switch to the
following position:
•  “SERIAL l/F” for serial compo-
nent digital audio signal input.
•  “AES/EBU” for digital audio
signal input.

							Internal encoder adjustments
In order to ensure error-free and accurate editing during AB roll editing (a method of editing using two source
VTRs) using an editor, the ENCODER OUT controls must be adjusted after the system has been connected.
(These controls must be re-adjusted each time the connecting cables are replaced or the connections are
changed.)
Connect the equipment as shown in the figure below.
If a waveform monitor and vectorscope are not available, correct any color shifting while actually monitoring the
picture on the TV monitor.

							Check the connections. (see previous page.)
Select [OFF] on ENCODER SEL at the set up menu. (See page 27.)
Select [ON] to operate the internal encoder externally.
Adjust the SYSTEM PHASE.
On the P1 VTR, play back a cassette tape on which standard color bar signals
have been recorded.
Adjust P1 VTR SYS PHASE.
Adjust the controls to the following with the waveform monitor (WFM).
1) Expand WFM 0.1 m
s on the INT mode.
2) Check the H SYNC position.
3) In this status, select EXT mode for the WFM.
4) In EXT mode, adjust the SYSTEM PHASE to H, SC COARSE, SC FINE, in
this order, at the set up menu to set H SYNC to its previous position.
