Panasonic DVCPro VTR - Video Recorder - Panasonic AJ-D250

The Panasonic AJ-D250 is a digital VTR which uses 1/4? wide tapes. The incorporation of digital compression technology ensures that the deterioration in picture and sound quality suffered during dubbing will be much less than with conventional analog systems. The model has a compact and lightweight design, enabling it to be readily carried about or easily installed in a rack.

The interactive system, which is featured for the unit’s settings, enables these settings to be performed while viewing the menus on the TV monitor screen.
