This Video product may be equipped with either a polarized 2-wire AC line plug or a 3- wire grounding type plug. The two
A
wire polarized plug {having one blade wider than the other) will fit into the power outlet only one way. If it is a three wire grounding type plug (having a third pin), it will fit into a grounding type outlet. DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THE GROUNDED OR POLARIZED PLUG by tampering with it. If the plug does not fit fully into the socket, try reversing it. If you should still be unable to fully insert the plug into the socket, you may find that a proper outlet is needed to meet today's Electrical Standards. An electrician will replace your outlet safely.

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,
