Re: HDX900 RF warning
by George Griswold on Jun 5, 2008 at 10:36:11 am

Matt,

Cause is likely a simple head clog and a manual cleaning may be required. (my comments, notes)...

Panasonic says this in the HDX-900 SERVICE MANUAL:

Turn Power OFF during cleaning. Use ethanol (more than 99% pure)as cleaning liquid. (I am not sure if this is pure isopropyl alcohol- that is what is usually used- I would verify the exact liquid to use) Also find a lint free cotton lab wiper- like TexWipes.

The cylinder has rotary trans(former) at upper side of unit. Finger can not touch top of cylinder. To rotate cylinder use applicator to touch top edge
1. Dip cloth in fluid.
2.Press cloth against cylinder head and rotate counter clockwise several times to clean.
3. Repeat until there is no residue.

Another remote possibility is mentioned in SERVICE BULLETIN, "Countermeasure for REC WARNING- Software Version Update"
Order #BSD0610S139a

If you camera has been fine up till now I can't imagine that this is the culprit. This bulletin specifies updating the software-- FPGA(FM) from 1.06-00-0.00 to 2.01-00-0.00. To simplify- the RF warning is generated by comparing the camera head output to return video; with this update some noise is reduced in one of the signals that is compared. Seems remote-- much easier to clean the heads first.

Hope this helps- you might want to call Roger at Macie Video to ask about the problem.
Hope this helps.
George
