Panasonic AJ-B95 - Manuel (Page 88)

88
This unit is equipped with an auto head cleaning function which automatically reduces the
amount of dirt on the video heads. However, in order to maximize the unit’s reliability, it is
recommended that the video heads be cleaned as and when appropriate.
For further details on how to actually clean the heads, consult one of our service companies or
your dealer.
Condensation
Condensation forms according to the same principle by which droplets of water form on the
window panes of heated rooms. It forms in the unit when the unit or tape is moved to a location
with a significant difference in temperature or humidity. It also forms when the unit has been
moved:
O
to a very humid location filled with steam or a room immediately after it has been heated up.
O
suddenly from an air-conditioned environment to a place with high temperature and humidity
levels.
When moving the unit to these types of locations, do not turn on the power immediately but
leave the unit standing and wait for about 10 minutes. If condensation has formed inside the
unit, an error message “d” lights up on the counter display, and the cassette tape is automatically
ejected.
Leave the power on, and wait until the error message is cleared.
Maintenance
Before proceeding with maintenance, set the power switch to the OFF position, and disconnect
the unit from the power outlet: always remember to take hold of the molded part of the power
plug when doing this.
Use a soft cloth to clean the cabinet. In the case of stubborn dirt, dilute some kitchen detergent,
soak a cloth in the solution, wring it out well, and now use it for cleaning. After wiping up the dirt,
remove any remaining moisture with a dry cloth.
Do not use paint thinners or benzine.
