Jeff,
This is from the service manual. Japanese-English so bear with it. :)
1. Press the screen display and down buttons simultaneously to display the
on-screen.
2. Press the shift button. Select the STBY OFF TIME or WIDE MODE item.
*Press the DATA button to change the setting.
*Press the DOWN button to proceed to the next item.
*Setting the standby OFF time
5 MIN: Normally, use this setting. The upper video head cylinder will stop
rotating approx. 5 minutes after the VTR to return to the playback mode from
the stop mode is approx. 1 second. (factory setting)
0 MIN: The upper video head cylinder will stop rotating as soon as the VTR
stops. (The time taken for the VTR to return to the playback mode from the
stop mode is approx. 3 seconds).
3. Upon completion of operation, press the SCREEN DISPLAY button. The
normal screen will reappear.
Hope that helps.

Subject: [TechAssist] Panasonic VCP: AG7150P: head keeps spinning
We have had a number of these professional style vcp's, all the same model,
usually with bad heads and/or broken lift arm (from lack of lubrication).
Some of the ones we have had also have the following symptom: the upper
cylinder starts spinning as the tape is loaded and, even though the "play"
button is not pressed (or "mashed" as we say in the South) continues to spin
for about four minutes before stopping. If it is put into play, it also
spins
an extra four minutes after tape is stopped. Since these machines are used
to
go into and out of play to broadcast commercials constantly, this extra four
minutes each time each time would appear to increase tape and head wear.
On the other ones we have, the upper cylinder stops spinning as soon as the
tape is fully loaded and as soon as it goes from play to stop.
Anyone know if this is a settable mode on these machines? If so, how do we
change it? Or is it something that needs repair?
