Precautions for Battery Replacement:

≥Load the new batteries with their polarity

(+ and -) aligned correctly.

≥Do not apply heat to the batteries, or an

internal short circuit may occur.

≥If you do not intend to use the remote

controller for a long period of time, remove

the batteries and store them in a cool and dry

place.

≥Remove spent batteries immediately and

dispose them properly.

≥Do not use an old and a new battery together,

and never use an alkaline battery with a

manganese battery.

Cable Connection

Cable-VCR-TV (For CATV/PAY

The cable hook-up shown at the bottom left

allows VCR-TV functions except for viewing

one channel while recording another.

Channels Recording/Playback)

The VCR has an extended range, and can tune

the Low-Band, Mid-Band, Super-Band, Hyper-

Band, Ultra-Band, and Special cable channels

(Channels A-5–A-1, A–W, AA–FFF, GGG–

WWW, WWWr1–WWWr12, 100–125, 5A).

Also, the VCR can tune to any of the 56 UHF

intentionally scrambled.

To the 75 ohm VHF

Input on the TV set

75 ohm Coaxial Cable

The above cable hook-up allows VCR

functions, including viewing one channel while

recording another, but it requires two cable TV

Converter/Descrambler Boxes, one Switch Box

and one 2-Way Splitter.

However, if you subscribe to a special channel

which is scrambled you will probably have a

descrambler box for proper reception. The VCR

by itself cannot properly receive a scrambled

program since it does not contain a

descrambler. In order for the VCR to properly

receive a scrambled program, your existing

descrambler must be used. There are two

commonly used methods of connection in this

case.

Since the VCR has an extended range of

tuning, tuning-programing of non-scrambled

Mid-Band and Super-Band TV programs is

possible. When a cable converter or

descrambler box is connected to the VCR,

all timer-controlled recording functions will

continue to operate with the exception of

charging channels automatically. CATV

Channel selection will have to be performed

with the cable converter. Timer-controlled

recording from CATV Channels is therefore

limited to one channel at any given time.

sinks, etc. If liquids are spilled into the VCR,

serious damage could occur. If you spill any

liquid into the VCR, consult qualified service

personnel.

internal parts.

Cleaning the VCR

Wipe the VCR with a clean, dry cloth. Never

use cleaning fluid or other chemicals. Do not

use compressed air to remove any dust.

Do Not Obstruct the Ventilation Holes

The ventilation holes prevent abnormal

increases in temperature. Do not block or cover

materials such as cloth or paper.

Stacking

Place the VCR in a horizontal position, and do

not place anything heavy on it.

Avoid High Temperature

If Dew Forms in the VCR

Keep the VCR away from extreme heat

sources such as direct sunlight, heating

radiators, or closed automobiles.

Dew may form in the VCR if:

just been turned on.

≥The VCR is in a room with steam or high

humidity.

≥The VCR is brought from cold surroundings

into a well-heated room.

≥The VCR is suddenly brought from cool

surroundings, such as an air-conditioned

room or car, to a place which is hot and

humid.

Avoid Magnets or Magnetized objects

Never bring a magnet or magnetized object

near the VCR as it will adversely affect its

performance of the VCR.

Keep the VCR away from other equipments as

much as possible when using it, to avoid any

adverse effect on performance for both the

VCR and the equipment.

approximately 8,000 hours of recording/

playback with high quality images. Newly

developed head cylinder with narrower head

windows and tapered cylinder design

effectively protects heads from dust and

prevents head clogging. Plus, “Alumina” Head

Cleaner further enhanced cleaning efficiency.

≥Based on in-house tests with Panasonic

video cassettes. Actual head life may vary

according to conditions of use, tape type,

temperature, humidity, etc.

If a clear picture is not produced, insert a

commercially available cleaning cassette.

Then, press REC ¥ (¥ REC/OTR) and keep it

running for approximate 10 seconds to clean

the video heads.

If the problem still persists after performing all

of the measures listed above, contact a service

personnel to request assistance.

Heads mainly become dirty because of

scratched or dirty tapes, use of the unit in

places where temperature and humidity are

high, dust in the air and other reasons.

The serial number of this product can be

found on the rear panel. No others have the

same serial number as yours. You should

record the number and other vital

information here and retain this book as a

permanent record of your purchase to aid

identification in case of theft.

Never use tapes on which juice has been spilt

or those that are extremely damaged since this

will not only cause the heads to become dirty,

but will also make the unit malfunction.
