Video Head Cleaning
This unit is equipped with an auto head cleaning function, which automatically reduces the
amount of dirt on the video heads. However, in order to enhance the unit’s reliability, it is
recommended that the video heads be cleaned every day. Use a cleaning fluid designated by
the unit’s manufacturer.
Condensation
The same principle by which droplets of water form on a window pane of a heated room is
responsible for the formation of condensation inside the unit.
Condensation occurs in the unit or tape when it is moved from one location to another where
there is a significant difference in temperature and humidity.
More specifically, it forms:
O
When the unit (or tape) is moved to a very humid location where the air is full of steam, or to a
room immediately after it has been heated
O
When the unit (or tape) is abruptly moved from an air-conditioned location to a very warm or
very humid location
When moving the unit to the kind of location described above, do not turn on its power
immediately but leave it standing for about 10 minutes. If condensation has formed inside the
unit, an error message (– d –) will light up on the counter display, and the cassette tape will be
automatically ejected.
Leave the power on, and wait until the error message is cleared.
Maintenance
Before proceeding with maintenance, set the power switch to the OFF position, and disconnect
the power cord from the power outlet. Make absolutely sure that you grasp the power plug when
disconnecting the power cord.
Use a soft cloth to clean the cabinet. To remove stubborn dirt, dilute some kitchen detergent,
soak a rag in the solution, wring it out well, and use it to wipe away the dirt. Wipe up any
remaining moisture using a dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners or benzine.
