Here is a LINK to the operations manual on the Panasonic web site.
I recall from posters on the Avid forums that there are issues with the deck firmware that may be relevant. Here is what Avid has to say:
"Windows XP (Software Only) – The firmware on this deck must be updated to work with WinXP (DirectShow). To get the latest version of the DIF firmware in the AJ-D230, press the Local/Menu/Remote switch to the Menu position while pressing the Eject button on the front panel. Press the FF (up) button while pressing the REW (mode) button. The software versions (IF, AV-SYS, etc) should appear on the monitor connected to the deck. The DIF flash ROM must be up to at least Rev 1.17-00."
Which means that you may have to contact a Panasonic dealer/repair center.
Also, certain menu settings need to be set (again, from the Avid website):
[2] Panasonic AJ D250E & AJ-D250P Device Setup
Input switch on front panel of deck must be set to OPTION
Make sure the deck is in REMOTE mode.

805 - DIF REC SEL ERASE
806 - DIF CONFIG 10 (DFLT for Adrenaline/Mojo)
807 - DIF STD IN OFF (ON for Adrenaline/Mojo)

Good Luck!
