Panasonic AJ-D230H won’t receive audio via Firewire from CS3
I hope this is the most appropriate forum for this problem…
My work just purchased a Panasonic AJ-D230H DVCPro deck and I’m having issues with it through Premiere CS3. The deck plays back perfectly and I can capture perfectly in Premiere through Firewire, but when I preview the timeline or print to tape, the deck only receives video and does not show or record any audio levels from Premiere over Firewire.
I’ve done a ton of searching and it looks like this could be some incorrect settings on the deck or a compatibility issue with Premiere… has anyone experienced this problem?

We used to use the 230 with a Media 100, however this was pre-firewire, we fed it from the computer with S-Video and unbalanced audio.
Does the 230’s menu have a way to select the audio channels. I seem to recall a button on the front left side of the deck’s front panel that toggles between 2 48k audio channels and a 2nd set of 32k audio channels, which seem like a little used feature of DVCPRO25, and likely not compatible with Premiere’s firewire output.Mike Cohen

Thanks for the reply… I’ve cycled through all the different settings on the front panel audio switch, to no avail. I believe everything works via analog; the deck just won’t receive audio via Firewire at all. I went back through all the menu settings and I’ve tried many different combinations, but nothing’s doing the trick just yet. We ended up getting two of these decks for cheap and we hooked the other one to an Avid, with the same results (captures fine but won’t play properly from the timeline to deck). So, I guess it’s not a Premiere issue.
