Prevent Accidental Tape Erasure
Clogged Video Head Picture Blue Back Screen
Clogged Video Heads
While your Combination VCR will not normally require
head cleaning, however the heads may become
clogged when playing an old or damaged tape. If the
image on your screen resembles the illustration on the
left or the screen becomes solid blue when playing
back a recorded signal on the tape, the heads probably
require cleaning.
Cleaning the Heads
It is recommended that head cleaning be performed by
a qualified service technician. Please contact your
nearest Panasonic Service Center. An alternate
solution is to obtain a head cleaning cassette. Be sure
to follow the cleaning instructions carefully. Excessive
use of a cleaning cassette could shorten head life.
Use this cassette only when symptoms occur.
Record/Playback Time
Only use tapes with the IVHSI mark in this unit.
