Please read these precautions before operating this VTR.
Avoid Sudden Changes in Temperature
If the VTR is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm
place, condensation may form on the tape and inside the
VTR. In this case, the “8”  dew indicator will flash on and off
and the VTR will not operate.
Dew May Form in the VTR if:
³The VTR is in a room where the heater has just been
turned on.
³The VTR is in a room with steam or high humidity.
³The VTR is brought from cold surroundings into a heated
room.
³The VTR is suddenly brought from cool surroundings,
such as an air-conditioned room or car, to a place which
is hot and humid.
When dew forms in the VTR, the “8”  dew indicator on the
display flashes on and off (The self test indicator “U10” will
also appear in the VTR display.) and all the function buttons
are made non-operational to protect the tape and the video
heads. When the dew indicator flashes, wait until this
indicator disappears.
³If dew forms inside the VTR while the VTR is off, it will
turn on automatically and the dew indicator will flash on
and off. As soon as the dew disappears, the VTR will turn
itself off again.
Note:
Do not operate the VTR for at least 1 hour if any of the
above conditions occur.Using the Mini-DV Format Digital Video Head
Cleaner:
1. Insert the Head Cleaner into the VTR in the same
way as a video cassette.
2. Press PLAY (1), and after apporoximately
20 seconds press STOP (º). (Do not rewind the
tape.)
3. Take out the Head Cleaner. Insert a video
cassette, perform recording and then play it back
to check the picture.
4. If the picture is still not clear, repeat above
operation steps 1 – 3. (Do not use the Head
Cleaner more than 3 times in succession.)
Notes:
³Do not rewind the tape in the Head Cleaner after
every use. Rewind it only after the tape has
reached its end, and then use it again in the same
way from the beginning.
³If the video heads again become clogged with dirt
soon after cleaning, this might be caused by a
damaged tape. In this case, stop using that
cassette immediately.
³Be careful not to clean the video heads too much.
(Too much cleaning could cause excessive wear to
the video heads. If the video heads get worn, the
picture is not played back clearly even after
cleaning.)
³If using the Head Cleaner does not clear the video
head clogging, the VTR requires cleaning or
repairing by a service center. Please consult with
your dealer.
³This Video Head Cleaner is available from service
centers.
Video Head Clogging and Remedy
When the video heads (which contact the tape) are dirty,
the playback picture contains mosaic-like patterns or the
whole screen becomes black. If they become even more
dirty, the recording performance deteriorates and in the
worst case, recording may not be possible at all.
Causes of Dirty Video Heads
³A lot of dust in the air
³High-temperature and high-humidity environment
³Damaged tape
³Long-time use
