Video head cleaning
This unit is equipped with an auto head cleaning function which automatically reduces the
amount of dirt on the video heads. In order to maximize the unit’s reliability, it is
recommended that the video heads be cleaned as and when appropriate.
For further details on how to actually clean the heads, consult with one of our service
companies or with your dealer.
Condensation
Condensation occurs due to the same principle involved when droplets of water form on a
window pane of a heated room. It occurs when the unit or tape is moved between places
where the temperature or humidity varies greatly or when, for instance:
•
It is moved to a very humid place full of steam or a room immediately after it has been
heated up.
•
It is suddenly moved from a cold location to a hot or humid location.
When moving the unit to locations such as these, leave it standing for about 10 minutes
rather than switching on the power immediately.
If condensation has formed on or in the unit, the AUTO OFF lamp lights and the cassette
tape is automatically ejected.
Keep the power supplied and simply wait until the AUTO OFF lamp goes off.
Ii is recommended that the video heads be cleaned after the AUTO OFF lamp went off. It is
recommended that the video head be cleaned after the AUTO OFF lamp went off.

Maintenance
Before proceeding with maintenance, be absolutely sure to set the power switch to OFF and
take hold of the power plug and unplug it from the power outlet.
Use a soft cloth to clean the cabinet. To clean off dirt, use a cloth moistened with water.
Remove the dirt, and take up any remaining moisture using a dry cloth.
To remove stubborn dirt, dilute some kitchen detergent, dip a cloth into the solution, wring it
out well, and wipe. In the same way, after having removed the dirt, take up any remaining
moisture using a dry cloth.
<Note>
Do not use alcohol, benzine, paint thinners or other such solvents. They can discolour the
external parts surfaces or remove the paint.
