VHS Deck and Video Cassette Information
ª Surge Absorber
For further protection, this product is equipped with new surge
absorbing circuits which prevent damage due to power surges
caused by lightning.
≥This function may not be effective for surges by direct lightning.
ª Crystal View Control
The crystal view control function ensures the optimum picture quality
so that you get the best picture automatically.
ª 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 protect heads from dust and prevents head clogging.
Plus, “Alumina” Head Cleaner enhances the 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.
ª Tapes
≥You can use tapes with the VHS and S-VHS marks, but this unit is
unable to make full use of the characteristics of S-VHS tapes.
≥Break the tape’s tab to prevent accidental
erasure. Cover the hole with a double layer
of adhesive tape when you want to use the
tape for recording again.
ª S-VHS Quasi Playback (SQPB)
It is possible to playback video cassettes recorded in the S-VHS
system.
≥Some picture noise may occur depending on the type of tape used.
≥It is not possible to fully obtain the high resolution that S-VHS is
capable of.
It is not possible to record in the S-VHS with this unit.
ª Dirt on the video heads
If the video heads get dirty, pictures will not be recorded or played
back clearly. (See the following conditions.)
If this happens, insert and eject a cassette 5 – 10 times successively
to remove the dirt from the video heads.
If the problem still persists after performing the above, contact a
service personnel.
Heads mainly become dirty because of scratched or dirty video
cassettes and operating the unit where the temperature is high or it is
humid, dusty, etc.
Never use video cassettes that liquids have been spilled on or that
are very badly damaged. The heads will become dirty and the unit
will malfunction.
ª Installing the batteries
Insert the batteries with the polarity ( + and -) correctly aligned.
Notes:
The service life of the batteries is approximately 1 year. However, it
varies considerably depending on the frequency of use.
≥When the batteries are exhausted, remove them immediately and
dispose of them correctly.
≥Do not mix an old battery with a new battery.
≥Do not mix different battery types, i.e. Alkaline and Manganese.
≥Do not use rechargeable batteries.
≥Do not heat or short-circuit the batteries.
≥When the remote control is not going to be used for a long time,
take out the batteries and store them in a cool, dry place.
ª Using the remote control (operation range)
≥The remote control can be used to operate the unit up to
approximately 7 meters in front, up to approx. 30° left or right and
up to approx. 20° above or below the remote control signal sensor.
(However, this operation range will vary depending on the
surrounding brightness.)
≥If you place the unit in a rack, the operation range may become
shorter depending on the thickness and color of the rack’s glass
door.
≥Do not place any obstacles between the unit and the remote
control.
≥If the remote control signal sensor is exposed to direct sunlight or
strong light from an inverter fluorescent lamp, you may not be able
to use the remote control to operate the unit.
