Video cassette information

∫ Video cassettes

≥Break off the video cassette's tab to prevent accidental erasure. Cover the hole with a double layer of
adhesive tape when you want to use the video cassette for recording again.
≥You can use video cassettes with the VHS and S-VHS marks, but the unit is unable to make full use of
the characteristics of S-VHS video cassettes.

∫ Video cassette care

≥Poor quality or damaged video cassettes can cause the heads to become dirty and malfunction. Store your video cassettes carefully and
discard them when they become dirty or damaged.
≥Never use video cassettes on which liquids have been spilled or those that are extremely damaged since this will not only cause the heads
to become dirty, but will also make the unit malfunction.

∫ Maintenance

Cleaning the video heads
Dirt on the video heads can cause poor recording and play.
If this happens, insert and eject a cassette 5–10 times successively to remove the dirt from the video heads. If the problem persists, seek
advice from a qualified service person.
Head cleaning by service agents is not covered by warranty.
