not connect the power supply or operate your VCR if it gets wet. Your VCR has been designed for outdoor
use, however it is not designed to sustain direct exposure to water, rain, sleet, snow, sand, dust, or a direct
splashing from a pool or even a cup of coffee. This action could permanently damage the internal parts of
your VCR. Do not attempt to disassemble this unit. There are no user serviceable paris inside. Unplug your
VCR from the power supply before cleaning.
* ОО NOT EXPOSE YOUR VCR TO EXTENDED HIGH TEMPERATURE ... Such as, in direct sunlight, inside
a closed car, next to heater, etc... This action could permanently damage the internal parts of your VCR.
« AVOID SUDDEN CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE ... if the unit is suddenly moved from a cold place to a
warm place, moisture may form on the tape and inside the unit.
* DO NOT LEAVE YOUR VCR OR THE POWER SUPPLY TURNED ON WHEN NOT IN USE
* STORAGE OF YOUR VCR ... Store and handle your VCR in a manner that will not subject it to unnecessary
movement (avoid shaking and striking). Your VCR contains a sensitive pick-up device which could be

Both Super-VHS and VHS recordings can be
made on an S-VHS tape. Tapes recorded in VHS
may be played back on either an S-VHS or VHS
type VCR. Tapes recorded in S-VHS cannot be
played back on a conventional VHS VCR.
* When a VHS recorded tape is played back on
your S-VHS VCR, the VHS mode is
automatically selected. Playback and Recording
operations are described on pages 9, 10 and
11.
When the S-VHS Selector switch is set to AUTO,
the recording mode is automatically set
according to the type of cassette tape used, S-
VHS or VHS. When the S-VHS Selector switch is
set to OFF, recording is done in the normal VHS
mode, regardless of the type of cassette tape
inserted. Use the off position when recording on
an S-VHS tape in VHS mode to be played back
on an VHS VCR.
Helpful Notes
* A conventional VCR will not be able to play
back your S-VHS recordings. To make
recordings that are compatible with
conventional VHS VCR's, use your S-VHS VCR
with the S-VHS Selector switch set to “OFF”.

Cleaning Care for Video Heads
Clogged Video Heads
Your VCR will not normally require head cleaning, however the heads
“may become clogged when playing an old or damaged tape.
If the image on your screen resembles the image shown left during
playback, the heads probably require cleaning.
Cleaning the Heads
It is recommended that head cleaning be performed by a qualified
service technician. Please contact your nearest Panasonic Service
Center. An alternate solution is to obtain a head cleaning cassette.
Be sure to follow the cleaning instructions carefully. Excessive use
of a cleaning cassette could shorten head life.
Use this cassette only when symptoms occur.
