Video head cleaning

Although this unit comes with an auto head cleaning function which reduces the amount of dirt on the heads, it is recommended that the video heads be cleanid every day for even more dependable operation. (For fur- ther details, please consult with your local dealer.)

∑Operation

Remove the cover of the upper portion on the cylinder. Soak some alcohol in a cleaning cloth, press it lightly against hte middle drum as shown in the figure, and rotate the drum 2 or 3 times in the direction indicated by the arrow. After this, wipe the drum dry using a dry cleaning cloth and attach the removed cover after completion.

∫Make sure that the power is off before proceeding with the head cleaning.

∫Do not move your fingers up and down while cleaning.

∫This may damage the heads.

∫Cut the cleaning cloth to the right size of the use.

∫Proceed with the cleaning until no more dirt is taken up by the cleaning cloth.

∫Make absolutely sure that no fluff from the cleaning cloth remains inside the VTR.

∫When grease (from the VTR) is found to adhere to the cleaning cloth, be absolutely sure to replace the cleaning cloth.

∫Before using the optional digital VTR dedicated head cleaning tape (AJ-TDCLS-P) to clean the heads, be sure to read carefully the “Precautions” provided with the cleaning tape.

∫In addition to cleaning the video heads every day, make it a rule once a week to clean the tape transport system and once a month to clean the reel bases and carriage (cassette holder, front guide angles). For further details, please consult with your local dealer.

∑Maintenance

Before proceeding with maintenance, set the power switch to “OFF”, and be sure to take hold of the power plug (and not the cord) to disconnect it from the power outlet.

Clean the cabinet with a soft cloth. With stubborn dirt, dilute some neutral kitchen detergent, dip the cloth in it, wring it out well and wipe the surface. After the dirt has been wiped off, take up any remaining moisture using a dry a cloth. Under no circumstances must paint thinners or benzene be used for cleaning purposes.

∑Storage

∫Do not store the unit in an extremely hot or cold location.

∫The unit must never be left outdoor.

∫If the unit is not going to be used for a long time, set the power switch to OFF and be sure to take hold of the power plug (and not the cord) to disconnect it from the power outlet. This step is taken to safeguard against accidents.

∫Be sure to eject the cassette tape.
