    Introduction
    The AJ-D92 is a portable video cassette recorder in
    the DVCPRO series.
    While featuring the compact size, light weight and low
    power consumption characteristic of a DVCPRO, the
    AJ-D92 supports both the DVCPRO and DVCPRO 50
    formats.Needless to say, the DVCPRO series is suitable for a
    wide spectrum of applications when it is used in
    combination with an existing video camera.
    An interactive system enables the unit’s settings to be
    performed while monitoring the on-screen menus that
    appear on the TV monitor.
    Features
    High picture quality
    Using tapes in the DVCPRO format, the product of the
    latest compression technology, the recording rate can
    be switched between 50 Mbps with higher picture
    quality and 25 Mbps with longer recording time.
    Compact size and light weight
    The unit is 11 
    15/16˝ (303 mm) wide, 5 1/2˝ (139 mm)
    high and 13 
    7/16˝ (341 mm) deep, and weighs 12.98 lb
    (5.9 kg).  It is equipped with grips which come in
    handy when the unit is to be carried.
    Long-time recording and playback
    When an L size cassette is used, the maximum
    recording and playback time is 92 minutes in the 50
    Mbps mode and 184 minutes°
    in the 25 Mbps mode.
    Both L and M size cassettes supported
    This unit employs a front loading mechanism to
    support the recording or playback of DVCPRO or
    DVCPRO 50 format size L and M cassette tapes.
    Frame-to-frame continuity function
    By using the REC button and PAUSE button
    together—a combination which activates the auto
    back function—pictures can be joined smoothly with
    no disturbances.
    Safety check function
    The status of the video input signals can be checked
    on the signal level display window by pressing the
    METER button.  This helps to prevent errors in input
    signal switching operations and mistakes in recording
    due to a cable disconnection, etc.REC REVIEW function
    The unit comes with a REC REVIEW function: this
    plays back the section immediately prior to the end of
    the previous recording, thereby enabling the operator
    to verify that the signals have been recorded properly.
    On-screen menu settings
    Detailed function settings tailored to the individual
    user can be performed on-screen.
    Audio level controls featured
    The levels of the signals for the four audio channels
    can be adjusted for recording and playback.
    Built-in power supply for phantom microphone
    An internal switch can be used to switch the power
    supply from +12 V to +48 V or vice versa.
    Time codes
    Incorporated inside the unit is a TCG/TCR (time code
    generator/time code reader).  It is also possible to
    input time codes from an external source to enable
    regeneration with an external time code.
    9-pin remote control
    This unit comes with a 9-pin remote control connector
    so that the unit can be operated using an optional
    external remote controller (model AJ-A95). ° 
    For AJ-5P92LP cassette tapes recorded using the DVCPRO
    (25 Mbps) mode, use a VTR supporting DVCPRO (25 Mbps)
    184 minute tapes.
