Playing older or damaged tapes may eventually
cause video heads to become clogged.

clogging is detected. To remove screen,
press PLAY on the remote or unit.
• Use “dry” type head cleaning cassette only.

head life.

A clean video head helps produce a clear
picture. So, we have equipped your unit with a
built-in, non chemical head cleaning system
that helps prevent clogging of the video heads.
Cleaning is performed each time you load or
unload a video cassette.
Note: This feature is preventative only. If your

video heads are seriously clogged,
consider the use of a chemical
nonabrasive head cleaning kit or take
your unit to a Service Center.

Digital Auto Tracking
Continuously analyzes the signal and adjusts for
optimum picture quality.
Manual Tracking Control (to reduce picture noise)
Use during Playback and Slow Motion mode to
reduce picture noise. Press the 3 or 6 number key on
the remote control or CH 

 on the unit until the

picture clears up. To return to Auto Tracking, press
POWER off, then on again a few seconds later.

Only use tapes with the 

 mark in this unit.
