$ Notes about Video Head Clogging
OWhen the Camera Recorder’s video heads have
become clogged with dirt (dust and tape coating
particles), the [ ] Indication appears. In addition,
the playback picture A is distorted with mosaic-like
patterns (1 or 2 ). When the clogging further
worsens, the whole screen may be black during
playback 3 .
OTo clean video heads that have become clogged
with dirt, use the Digital Video Head Cleaner.
OIf you want to purchase the same Digital Video
Head Cleaner, please contact your Panasonic
dealer to obtain it from the Panasonic spare parts
department (part number VFK1451).
OIf the video heads again become clogged with dirt
soon after cleaning, this might be caused by
damaged tape.
In this case, stop using that cassette. We
recommend that you use Panasonic cassettes.
