Manually Adjust Tracking on A-J HD1400

[Jeff Merritt]

Hi Dan,

The AJ-HD1400 does not have a manual tracking adjustment like was found on old 3/4-inch and VHS or even 1-inch machines. Instead tracking is accomplished digitally. It’s either on track or not. I am at a loss to understand why this question. Are you having difficulty with the deck and if so please explain the issue and we’ll try to solve it.

Thanks,

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the response. The problem that we are running into is we have a bunch of DVCPRO HD tapes that were shot over about a week span on one of our cameras (Panasonic AJ-HVF21G) and now when we go to play them in either of our Panasonic HD Decks (a 1400 and a 1200) we get error E-00, saying it’s a servo problem. The tapes play back fine in the camera so we’ve been dubbing them (from the camera to a deck) but wondering if there is any way to get them to play in one of our decks to save on tape stock and time.

Thanks!

Dan,

Sounds like you need to clean the heads!

I recently experienced this same issue. Getting the error message, E-00, trying to playback DVCPro tapes on AJ-HD1400 deck. The tapes were shot 720 30p on a Varicam. They playback fine in camera.

Tapes shot 720 30p on HDX-900 playback fine on the deck, but the tapes shot on the Varicam do not.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
James
