VTR (section) operation
Head clogging is detected and a warning tone emitted. Images may not be recorded properly.
Recording continues, but images may not be recorded properly.
Recording continues, but stops if tape sticking occurs. Playback, fast forward and rewind operation stops.
An error code appears in the time code display position of the display window (LCD) and the VTR stops.
Countermeasures
Clean the heads. If images still cannot be recorded properly after the heads are cleaned, consult your dealer.
Turn off the power and consult your dealer. (Lamps may flash briefly and then go off when tape running starts, but this does not indicate trouble.)
If tape running stops and the HUMID display does not go off even when the power is turned off and then on again, wait until the display goes off.
Check the error code in the display window (see page 127) and consult your dealer.
*1) During recording
*2) During playback, fast forward or rewind
<Note>
If a cleaning tape is not available to deal with video head clogging, etc., first estab- lish the STOP mode and then press the STOP button again while the RESET but- ton on the side panel is kept depressed. While these buttons are held down, the cleaning roller will clean the heads for a maximum of 10 seconds.
