If this happens, insert and eject a cassette 5–10 times successively to remove the dirt from the video heads.

If a clear picture is not produced, insert a commercially available cleaning cassette. Then, press [REC (REC/OTR)] and keep it running for approximate 10 seconds to clean the video heads.

If the problem still persists after performing all of the measures listed above, contact a service personnel to request assistance.

Heads mainly become dirty because of scratched or dirty tapes, use of the unit in places where temperature and humidity are high, dust in the air and other reasons.

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

Surge Absorber

For added protection for this product, these models are equipped with new surge absorbing circuit which prevents damage due to power surges caused by induced lightning.

–This function may not be effective for surges by direct lightning.

CVC (Crystal View Control) Indicator

The crystal view control function ensures that you always obtain the optimum picture quality so that you get the best picture automatically.

While the VCR is turned on, the CVC indication is always displayed to show that the Crystal View Control is activated.

Longrun Head System

This longrun head system enables approximately 8,000 hours of recording/ playback with high quality images. Newly developed head cylinder with narrower head windows and tapered cylinder design effectively protects heads from dust and prevents head clogging. Plus, “Alumina” Head Cleaner further enhanced cleaning efficiency.

–Based on in-house tests with Panasonic video cassettes. Actual head life may vary according to conditions of use, tape type, temperature, humidity, etc.
