• Use "dry" type head cleaning cassette only.
(Part No. NV-TCL30PT is recommended.)
• Follow cleaning tape instructions carefully.
Excessive use of tape can shorten head life.
A clean video head helps produce a clear picture.
So, we have equipped your DECK with a builtqn, non-
chemical head cleaning system that helps prevent
clogging of the video heads. Cleaning is performed
each time you load or unload a video cassette.
• This feature is preventative only, If your video
heads are seriously clogged, consider the use of a
chemical non-abrasive head cleaning kit.
Use a soft cloth or dusting attachment of a vacuum
cleaner to remove dust from the ventilation holes on
the back sides and bottom of the cabinet. Plastic
surfaces are easily scratched and can be marred by
alcohol and various solvents. Avoid excessive use of
oil-based furniture polishes since the materials used in
the cabinet will accumulate more dust. We recommend
using a non-abrasive, antistatic cleaner and polisher.
Digital Auto Picture
Automatically controls the video output signal for
less noise depending on the tape condition.
Digital Auto Tracking
Continuously analyzes the signal and adjusts for
optimum picture quality.
Manual Tracking Control
(to reduce picture noise)
Use during Playback and Slow Motion mode to
reduce picture noise.
Press CH (TRACKING) A/V on the remote control
or on DECK until the picture clears up.
To return to Auto Tracking, press POWER off, then
on again a few seconds later.
V-Lock Control (to reduce picture jitter)
In Still mode, CH (TRACKING) A/V operate as a
V-Lock control.
