A Clogged Video Head
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
image shown above during playback, the heads
_robably require cleaning.
To Clean the Head
It is recommended that head cleaning
be performed by a qualified service technician.
Please contact your nearest Panasonic Service
Center. An alternate solution isto 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.
Unhook the antenna from your previous TV or VCR
and connect it to the back of the Combination VCR as
shown in the diagram. If your antenna system has
separate UHF and VHF lead-ins, you need a UHF/
VHF Band Mixer (not supplied).
