Cleaning the video heads
When the video heads are dirty, mosaic-like noise will
appear here and there when tapes are played back
and/or a bluish tone will permeate entire images.
Very dirty heads cause a deterioration in the recording
capability and at worst, they will make it impossible to
record altogether.
Factors that make the heads dirty
• High concentrations of dust in the atmosphere
• High-temperature and high-humidity environments
• Tape damage
• Prolonged use
Use a cleaning cassette tape!
Insert a cleaning tape into the camera-recorder
and set the POWER lever to the ON position.
Press the MODE button, and check that the VCR
lamp has lighted.
Press the q button, then ten seconds later press
the g button.
(Do not rewind the tape at this time.)
Remove the cleaning tape, proceed with record-
ing and playback as a trial on another tape and
check the resulting images.
If the images are not clear, repeat steps to .
(Do not use the cleaning tape more than 4 times
in one go.)
• Do not rewind the cleaning tape at any interim point
while it is playing. When it reaches the end, rewind it
and use it again in the same way from the start.
• If the heads become dirty again immediately after
they have been cleaned, it may mean that the condi-
tion of cleaning tape itself has deteriorated. Stop
using the tape immediately.
• Excessive use of cleaning tapes will result in head
wear. When the heads are worn, images will not be
played back clearly even immediately after the heads
have been cleaned.
• If the dirty heads do not become any cleaner even
when a cleaning tape is used, you will need to have
your dealer arrange for your camera-recorder to be
cleaned and/or repaired. Consult your dealer if this
happens.
Periodic inspections
To ensure that you will be able to view good-quality
images, it is recommended that you replace the video
heads and any other worn parts every 2,000 hours or
so of use.
(However, this period will differ significantly depending
on the temperature, humidity, dust and other factors in
the operating environment.)
Maintenance cautions
Do not use benzine or paint thinners for maintenance purposes.
• Using benzine or paint thinners may deform the camera-recorder and/or cause the surface finish to peel off.
• Before proceeding with maintenance, remove the battery or disconnect the AC cord from the power outlet.
• Use a soft, clean cloth to wipe the camera-recorder. To remove stubborn dirt, wipe the camera-recorder with a
cloth moistened with kitchen detergent that has been diluted with water and then use a dry cloth to take up the
remaining moisture.
