VHS Deck and Cassette Tape Information

ªSurge Absorber

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

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

ªCrystal View Control

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

ªTapes

≥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.

Tab

ªS-VHS Quasi Playback (SQPB)

It is possible to play back tapes 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 system with this unit.

ªDirt on the video heads

If the video heads get dirty, pictures will not be recorded or played back clearly. (See the following conditions.)

Normal picture

Small amount of dirt Large amount of dirt

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If this happens, insert and eject a cassette 510 times successively to remove the dirt from the video heads.

If the problem still persists after performing above, contact a service personnel.

Head cleaning by service agents is not covered by warranty.

Heads mainly become dirty because of scratched or dirty tapes, use of the unit under high temperature and humidity or under the dust and other reasons.

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

These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive output and provide a clearer picture than the S VIDEO terminal. Connection using these terminals outputs the colour difference signals (PB/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colours.

The S VIDEO terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the VIDEO OUT terminal by separating the chrominance (C) and luminance
