Parts and their functions

1

AC IN inlet

This is the AC power inlet.  
Connect the accessory power cable here.
When both an AC power supply and DC power
supply have been connected, the AC power supply
takes priority.

2

DC IN socket

This is the input connector for the DC 12V supply
voltage.
Use the optional AC adapter (AJ-B75 or AJ-B95).
When the voltage has dropped to around 10.6V, the
unit’s power is automatically turned off. (When
“TYPE-A” or “TYPE-B” is not selected as the menu
item No.180 [BATTERY SEL] setting)
Even when the supply voltage is restored later, the
power will not automatically come back on.  The
POWER switch must be set to OFF and then back
to ON several seconds later.
When both AC power supply and DC power supply
are connected, the AC power supply takes priority.

3

DC OUT socket

This is the DC 12V output socket.
Power is supplied from here to the external remote
controller (AJ-A95).
The DC power cable is packed together with the
AJ-A95.

4

Fuse holder

This holds the AC 250 V/2.5 A fuse (time lag type).

<Note>

Use the fuse specified by Panasonic.
