• A playback signal is not as stable as an off the air
TV signal, so the top of your TV screen may
appear bent or unstable during playback. This is
called, "Horizontal AFC time constant change."
If your TV does not have this control, or adjusting it
does not help, contact your TV servicentre. (Some
nominal service charges may be required.)
(a) Video Head Cleaning: Your Palmcorder will not normally
require head cleaning; however, it is possible that the heads
may become clogged when playing an old or damaged tape.
If the image on your screen resembles the photograph on the
left while playing back a tape, the heads may require cleaning.
(b) Cleaning the Heads: To clean the heads, obtain a head
cleaning cartridge. There is a wide range of cleaning
cartridges, however, using a worn or poor quality cleaning
cartridge will shorten head life. Be sure to follow the
instructions that come with the cassette, as excessive use can
shorten head life. It is recommended that the cleaning be
done by a qualified technician, Please contact your nearest
Panasonic Servicentre. (Refer to page 39.)
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
