General outline  
The model AJ-HD1700 is a DVCPRO HD-LP format  
HD digital video cassette recorder which uses 1/4˝  
wide compact cassette tapes.  
It can record, play back and edit 1080/59.94i (60i),  
720/59.94p (60p) and 1080/50i HD signals and also  
play back existing DVCPRO (25 Mbps or 50 Mbps)  
tapes.  
By mobilizing highly efficient digital compression  
technology to assure a high picture quality, this VTR  
significantly minimizes deterioration in the picture  
quality and sound quality during the dubbing process.  
It features a compact size of 4U and a lightweight  
design that enables it to be carried around with ease,  
and to be readily installed in a 19-inch rack.  
It is also capable of converting from sources with a  
720/24p over 60p (720/25p over 60p) format recorded  
using a variable frame rate camera into a 1080/24psf  
(1080/25psf) format and outputting the resulting  
signals, thus fulfilling the needs of applications in the  
cinema film production field.  
The equipment is set up using an interactive system  
whereby the operator manipulates the function  
buttons on the front panel and observes the menu  
screens on the front panel’s LED monitor.  
In terms of the editing features, this VTR is capable of  
both assemble editing and insert editing.  
Further, the HD-SD conversion facility of its format  
converter, which is provided as a standard accessory,  
extends the uses of this VTR to encompass  
interfacing with existing SD systems and into  
configuring of HD systems.

minutes of material can be recorded on the newly developed  
1/4˝ XL-size cassette tape.  
•
Serial digital input/output connector  
The VTR comes with an HD component serial interface  
input/output connector. This one BNC connector enables  
HD component video signals and 8-channels digital audio  
signals to be interfaced. (SMPTE 292M, 299M, BTA S-  
004)  
High picture quality  
The VTR’s high picture quality is achieved by 4:2:2 HD  
component signal recording using a recording rate (100  
Mbps) which is 4 times higher than that of the existing  
DVCPRO format.  
It is also equipped with an HD/SD format converter as a  
standard accessory so that SD component serial signals  
can also be output. (SMPTE 259M-C, 272M-A, 294M)

DVCPRO-compatible playback, DV playback, DVCAM  
playback and down-conversion.  
•
•
AES/EBU audio input/output connectors  
Digital audio input/output connectors for 8 channels are  
featured as a standard accessory.  
*1: When the system frequency of 50 Hz has been selected,  
recording and playback using the 720p format are not possible.

interfacing with the compressed component signals still in  
their original form. (SMPTE 305M, 321M)  
By making menu selections, the VTR can output signals  
after converting them to the 1080/24psf (25psf) format when  
it plays back a tape recorded by a variable frame rate  
camera at a frame rate of 24fps (25fps).  
•
•
SD signal up-conversion and recording  
Using the input up-converter board (optional accessory),  
SD component serial signals (SMPTE 259M-C) can be  
up-converted and recorded as HD signals.  
9-pin RS-422A and RS-232C remote control  
connectors  
SDI interface  
The VTR comes with an HD serial digital interface as a  
standard accessory.  
In addition to the standard 9-pin serial remote (RS-422A)  
control connector, the VTR is provided with RS-232C and  
50-pin parallel remote control connectors.  
The RS-422A facility enables parallel operation if a loop  
connection has been established between the VTR and  
another VTR.  
Playback compatibility with DVCPRO systems  
Besides DVCPRO HD-LP recording and playback, the VTR  
can also play back tapes which have been recorded using  
the existing DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO50 and DVCPRO  
systems.  
Consumer-use DV tapes (SP) and DVCAM tapes can also  
be played back on this VTR.  
8-channel high-sound-quality digital audio  
The 8-channel PCM audio feature allows for not only  
independent editing but mixing as well on all 8 channels.  
One channel is provided for the analog cue track.  
Digital slow motion/dial jog  
Panasonic’s unique digital slow motion technology enables  
clear playback (of tapes recorded using the DVCPRO HD-  
LP system) at speeds ranging from j1k to i2k.  
<Note>  
Some noise may occur during slow playback (using an  
external controller) at speeds of almost exactly j1k or  
i2k.  
Menu-driven setup  
The setup settings, which are conducted prior to operating  
the VTR, are performed while the operator views the setup  
menus either on the VTR’s LCD monitor or on a TV monitor.  
Multi-functional front panel with LCD monitor  
The front panel’s multiple functions, including the LCD  
monitor for monitoring images, the function buttons and  
large-size display panel, are contained within the 4U  
dimensions and designed to improve operating ease.  
Search speed  
Search speed enables tapes (recorded using the HD-LP  
system) to be played back with color images at speeds of up  
to 100 times in the forward or reverse direction.

button’s lamp lights to indicate that the standby ON  
mode is now established.  
• When the PLAYER button or RECORDER button  
is pressed while ENA has been selected as the  
setup menu item No.200 (PARA RUN) setting,  
the lamps of both buttons light to indicate that the  
VTR now serves as the master unit for parallel  
run operations. However, when this setting is  
used, it is no longer possible to perform external  
control from the REMOTE connector (9 pins).  
If the button is pressed in the stop mode, the  
standby OFF mode is established followed by the  
half loading mode. At this time, its lamp goes off.  
When the VTR is left in the stop mode beyond a  
specific period of time, it is automatically set to the  
standby OFF mode in order to protect the tape.  
In the standby OFF mode, if this button or the  
STOP button is pressed, the VTR is set to the  
standby ON mode. If a button other than the  
STOP button is pressed, the VTR is set to the  
mode that corresponds to the button pressed.  
The time taken by the VTR to transfer to the  
standby OFF mode can be selected using a setup  
menu item.

When this VTR plays back a tape which was recorded at a frame rate of 24  
fps (25 fps) using a variable frame rate camera, the signals on the tape can  
be output after converting them to 1080/24psf (1080/25psf) to enable direct  
editing together with the AJ-HD3700 series.  
When this VTR plays back a tape which was recorded at a frame rate of 25

Note concerning tapes played back by this VTR  
•
Use tapes which have been shot by a variable frame rate  
<Notes>  
camera.  
•
When the tape begins to travel at 1k speed, the video may be  
disturbed and the audio muted for several frames in order to  
synchronize the REF input with the tape.  
VITC signals are not output to the SD SDI and VIDEO OUT  
connectors in the 23/24 Hz mode.  
In the 25 (HD) Hz mode, the output video signals of the SD SDI  
and VIDEO OUT connectors are delayed by approximately 1 field  
in relation to the HD SDI output.  
•
Do not use tapes which are copies of shot tapes or edited tapes.  
Doing so will cause the tape management information to be lost,  
and normal conversion and playback may not be possible as a  
result.  
To convert a tape, which was recorded at a frame rate other than  
24fps (25fps), to 1080/24psf (1080/25psf), use a frame rate  
converter (AJ-FRC27) which is available as an optional  
accessory.  
•
•
•
•
HD SDI output is muted in the 25 (SD) Hz mode.

• From the perspective of protecting consumer-use  
DV and DVCAM cassette tapes, minimize the  
number of times the tapes are cued up at the  
same place as far as possible.  
Tapes capable of up to 126 minutes of recording  
and playback  
• When consumer-use DV and DVCAM cassette  
tapes are used, the maximum time for STILL  
TIMER is set to 10 seconds and the total time  
elapsing when the VTR is left standing in the  
STILL mode is set to 1 minute.  
• When editing material which has been recorded  
onto a consumer-use DV or DVCAM cassette  
tape, first record the material onto a DVCPRO HD  
tape or another VTR used for broadcasting  
applications.  
• Noise may occur when performing slow playback  
using consumer-use DV or DVCAM cassette  
tapes.

Match frame processing function  
When two VTRs are used to perform the audio split  
editing operations, there will be a total of 8 edit  
points: the video IN and OUT points for the player,  
the video IN and OUT points for the recorder, the  
audio IN and OUT points for the player, and the  
audio IN and OUT points for the recorder.  
When five of the eight edit points are registered, the  
remaining three points are automatically calculated  
so only five of the edit points can be registered.  
∫When a VTR not equipped with the split  
editing function is used as the player  
When a VTR for which the video and audio edit  
points cannot be set independently is used as the  
player, split editing is still possible by setting the  
audio IN point and OUT point in the recorder and  
setting the data of three points as the video edit  
points.  
<Note>  
If, during audio split editing, the video OUT point (or  
audio OUT point) only is registered without the  
audio OUT (or video OUT point) having been  
registered and automatic editing is then executed,  
editing will continue until either the audio OUT point  
(or video OUT point) is registered or the STOP  
button is pressed to suspend the editing operation.

To perform variable memory playback operations, set  
the VTR to the variable memory mode, and take the  
steps below.  
This VTR is provided with two variable memory  
functions, as follows. These functions can be used in  
the variable memory mode.  
Register the IN point using the SET button and IN  
button. There is no need to set the OUT point for  
variable memory playback.  
1
Variable memory playback:  
Any section of the tape can be played back at variable  
speeds in the VAR mode, the changes in the speed  
can be stored in the memory, and the tape can be  
played back at the memorized speed.  
Set the initial speed (j1.0k to i2.0k) using the  
search dial while holding down the SET button.  
2
Variable memory editing:  
Using the VTR as a controller (recorder in the deck-to-  
deck mode) to control the playback speed of the  
player, editing can be performed in the variable speed  
mode.  
When the SET button and PREVIEW/REVIEW  
3
button are pressed at the same time, the tape is  
automatically prerolled and played back at the  
initial speed setting up to the IN point.  
After the tape has passed the IN point, turn the  
search dial to store the playback speed in the  
memory.  
4
Press the STOP button to stop the tape.  
5
When the PREVIEW/REVIEW button is pressed,  
variable memory playback is performed at the  
memorized speed.  
6
<Notes>  
• After passing the IN point, the tape is played back  
in accordance with the settings in the memory, and  
it continues to run at the last speed stored in the  
memory until the STOP button is pressed.  
• Whatever is stored in the memory will be cleared  
when the VTR exits the variable memory mode. It  
is also cleared when the POWER switch is set to  
“OFF.”

• Whatever is stored in the memory will be cleared  
when the VTR exits the variable memory mode. It  
is also cleared when the POWER switch is set to

• Phase synchronization is not performed during  
playback up to the IN point of the variable memory  
editing. Therefore, depending on the VTR used as  
the player and its speed setting, no guarantees are  
made for the accuracy of the IN point.  
• When conducting variable memory editing in the  
speed range of j1.0k to i2.0k, use VTRs with  
which these speeds are guaranteed for both the  
recorder and player.

Setup menus  
<Menu management accompanying switching the system frequency>  
The system menu and setup menu have some items whose settings differ and other items with which no  
selection options are displayed and whose settings are fixed (indicated by the shading in the table below),  
depending on the switching of the operation mode in response to the setting selected for system menu item  
No.25 (SYSTEM FREQ). (Refer to the table below.)  
System menu and setup menu settings  
<50P IN/OUT> 50-pin connector registration  
• Each of the items whose settings differ is saved in • When the items whose settings differ have been  
the VTR MEMORY (current file and one of the  
backup files 1 to 4). The settings that correspond to  
each operation mode will be displayed so that the

registered in the <50P IN/OUT> 50-pin connector  
pins, the settings corresponding to the operation  
modes are allocated to the IN and OUT pins on the  
basis of the setting numbers. However, when the

limited to this upper limit.  
What has been registered is saved, but bear in mind  
that when the data is registered again, it is saved by  
overwriting the existing data so that the previously  
registered data will be lost.  
Registration of the <PF1> and <PF2> function

however, that when the data is registered again, it is

The time code is used when the time code signal  
generated by the time code generator (time code  
signal generator) is to be recorded on the tape, its  
values are to be read by the time code reader (time  
code signal reader), and the absolute position of the  
tape is to be displayed in increments of hours,  
minutes, seconds and frames.  
The time code is written in the sub-code area (data  
area) of the helical track. This enables insert editing  
to be conducted independently using the time code  
alone. In addition, the VTR’s playback speed can be  
read from the stop mode to the slow motion playback  
up to high-speed playback (approx. 50k normal  
speed or approx. 100k normal speed when using a  
DVCPRO tape).  
The time code advances simultaneously with the  
recording.

Display saving function  
This function is provided to extend the service life of the  
LCD monitor. It starts up if none of the front panel  
controls have been operated or the cassette tape has not  
been run at all for about 5 minutes.  
While the saving function is working, the LCD monitor  
display goes blank, and the “EX” symbol appears on the  
time code display area.  
To release the saving function, operate a button or dial  
on the front panel or issue a tape transport command  
from the controller. The operation performed to release  
the function will be executed after the function is  
released.

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 18-inch length (part  
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 22-inch long Chassis Trak  
(part number CC-3001-99-0191) be used.  
Attach the outer member brackets to the rack.  
Check that the height is the same for the left and  
right brackets.

Remove the four screws at the front used to attach  
the left and right side panels.

Attach the AJ-MA75P rack-mounting adapters  
using the same four screws.  
(The complete slide rail and bracket unit is not  
available from Panasonic.)  
For further details, consult your dealer.  
Attach the inner members of the slide rails. Refer  
to the figure below for the positions where they are  
screwed into place.

• Use screws which are less than 2/5q (10 mm)  
long.  
•
Attach the inner member at the same symmetrical  
positions on the left (L) side as well. Fix the  
members in place using 3 screws on each side  
(total: 6 screws). When using the 22-inch long slide  
rails, secure the screws at 4 locations.  
<CAUTIONS>  
• Keep the temperature inside the rack to between

41 F and 104 F (5 C and 40 C).  
• Bolt the rack securely to the floor so that it will not  
topple over when the VTR is pulled out.  
• The letters shown in the figure are not actually  
marked on the side panels.

Video head cleaning  
This VTR is equipped with an auto head cleaning  
function which automatically reduces the amount of  
dirt on the video heads. In order to maximize the  
VTR’s reliability, however, 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 Panasonic’s service companies or  
with your dealer.  
Condensation  
Condensation occurs due to the same principle which  
is involved when droplets of water form on a window  
pane of a heated room. It occurs when the VTR 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.  
If condensation has formed on or in the VTR, 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.  
It is recommended that the video heads be cleaned  
after the AUTO OFF lamp has gone off.  
After moving the VTR to such a location, leave it  
standing for about 10 minutes rather than switching on  
its power immediately.  
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 remove  
stubborn dirt, dilute some kitchen detergent, dip a  
cloth into the solution, wring it out well, and wipe.  
After having removed the dirt, take up any remaining  
moisture using a dry cloth.  
<Note>  
Do not use alcohol, benzene, paint thinners or other  
solvents. They can discolor the external parts  
surfaces and remove the finish.
