– 84 – Rack mounting The unit can be mounted into a 19-inch standard rack if the optional rack-mounting adapters (AJ-MA75P) are used. For the installation rails, it is recommended that the rail and bracket for 18q length (model number CC3061-99-0400) of Chassis Trak be used. If an even greater clearance is to be left between the VTR and rack when the VTR is pulled out, however, it is recommended that the 22q long Chassis Trak (model number CC-3001-99-0191) be used. (The complete slide rail and bracket unit is not available from Panasonic.) For further details, consult with your dealer. 1Attach the inner members of the slide rails. Refer to Table 1 for the places where they are to be secured with the screws. The length of the screws used is subject to restriction. Use screws which are less than 2/5q long in their place. 6 screws must be used to secure each inner member. When using the 22q long slide rails, secure the screws at 4 locations. 2Attach the outer member brackets to the rack. Check that the height is the same for the left and right brackets. 3Remove the four screws at the front for attaching the left and right side panels. 4Attach the AJ-MA75P rack-mounting adapters with included 4 screws. 5Remove the 4 rubber legs from the bottom of the unit, and install the unit in the rack. After the unit has been installed, check that it moves smoothly along the rails. •Keep the temperature inside the rack to between +41°F (5°C) and +104°F (40°C). •Bolt the rack securely to the floor so that it will not topple over when the VTR is drawn out. Attach the inner members at the same symmetrical positions on the left (L) side. Note: The letters “A” to “H” are not actually marked on the side panels.

– 85 – Video head cleaning This unit is equipped with an auto head cleaning function which automatically reduces the amount of dirt on the video heads. In order to maximize the unit’s reliability, it is recommended that the video heads be cleaned as and when appropriate. For further details on how to actually clean the heads, consult with one of our service companies or with your dealer. Condensation Condensation occurs due to the same principle involved when droplets of water form on a window pane of a heated room. It occurs when the unit or tape is moved between places where the temperature or humidity varies greatly or when, for instance: •It is moved to a very humid place full of steam or a room immediately after it has been heated up. •It is suddenly moved from a cold location to a hot or humid location. When moving the unit to locations such as these, leave it standing for about 10 minutes rather than switching on the power immediately. If condensation has formed on or in the unit, the AUTO OFF lamp lights and the cassette tape is automatically ejected. Keep the power supplied and simply wait until the AUTO OFF lamp goes off. ∫ ∫∫ ∫ ∫Maintenance Before proceeding with maintenance, be absolutely sure to set the power switch to OFF and take hold of the power plug and unplug it from the power outlet. Use a soft cloth to clean the cabinet. To clean off dirt, use a cloth moistened with water. Remove the dirt, and take up any remaining moisture using a dry cloth. To remove stubborn dirt, dilute some kitchen detergent, dip a cloth into the solution, wring it out well, and wipe. In the same way, after having removed the dirt, take up any remaining moisture using a dry cloth. Do not use alcohol, benzine, paint thinners or other such solvents. They can discolor the external parts surfaces or remove the paint.
– 86 – Error messages When a warning occurs in this unit, the warning lamp lights up. Opening the DIAG menu will display the warning description on the counter display and the monitor. Also, when an abnormal operation is detected in this unit, the AUTO OFF lamp lights up and a message appears on the counter display. DIAG menu This display the VTR information. VTR information includes “WARNING” information and “HOURS METER” (usage time) information. A DIAG menu appears on the monitor when the monitor is connected to the VIDEO OUT3 connector on the connector section. Displaying the DIAG menu 1Press the DIAG button. The DIAG menu screen is displayed on the monitor, and the message is displayed on the counter display. 2The “WARNING” information and “HOURS METER” information can be switched by pressing the search buttons. 3Press the DIAG button again to return to the original display. “WARNING” information display •A warning message is displayed whenever a warning occurs (the warning lamp lights up). When warnings have not been detected, “NO WARNING” is displayed. •When multiple warning occur, the descriptions for each warning can be checked by turning the search dial.
