Video cassettes

Break off the video cassette’s tab to prevent accidental erasure. Cover the hole with a double layer of adhesive tape when you want to use the video cassette for recording again.

You can use video cassettes with the VHS and S-VHS marks, but the unit is unable to make full use of the characteristics of S-VHS video cassettes.

Tab

Video cassette care

Poor quality or damaged video cassettes can cause the heads to become dirty and malfunction. Store your video cassettes carefully and discard them when they become dirty or damaged.

Never use video cassettes on which juice has been spilled or those that are extremely damaged since this will not only cause the heads to become dirty, but will also make the unit malfunction.

Maintenance

Cleaning the video heads

Dirt on the video heads can cause poor recording and play.

If the picture does not improve, use an optional head-cleaning cassette (part number NV-TCL30PT). If the problem persists, seek advice from a qualified service person.
