WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR
SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE
THIS EQUIPMENT TO RAIN OR
MOISTURE.
On Colour system
This unit is designed to play back
programmes based on the PAL (B/G and
D/K) and SECAM (B/G and D/K) colour
systems.
– Tapes recorded with the French SECAM
colour system can be played back on this
unit but the picture displayed will be black
and white.
As this equipment gets hot during use,
operate it in well ventilated place; do not
install this equipment in a confined
space such as a book case or similar
unit.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
DO NOT REMOVE OUTER COVER.
To prevent electric shock, do not remove

Longrun Head System
This longrun head system enables
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.
Infrared Remote Control
Power Source for the Remote Control
The remote control is powered by 2 UM3 or R6
size batteries. The life of the batteries is about
one year, although this depends on the
frequency of use.
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 control
for a long period of time, remove the batteries
and store them in a cool and dry place.
– Remove spent batteries immediately and
dispose of them.
– Do not use an old and a new battery together,
and never use an alkaline battery with a
manganese battery.
– Do not use rechargeable batteries.
