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
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.
Video head cleaning
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:
O
It is moved to a very humid place full of steam or a
room immediately after it has been heated up.
O
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 occurs in the unit, “E-20” will flash on
the counter display and the cassette will be
automatically ejected.
Leave the unit with the power on until “E-20” is
cleared from the display.
