HEAD CLEANING MAINTENANCE
The perfect complement to Panasonic Professional
DV Tape is a clean machine. That's why we recommend DV camcorder
and VTR head cleaning with the Panasonic AY-DVMCLA (for mini
DV) or AY-DVCLB (for Large DV) Professional DV Cleaning Cassette.
The Panasonic DIGITAL MEDIA AY-DVMCLA
and AY-DVCLB are high-performance DV cleaning cassettes developed
exclusively for DV format video equipment. To ensure optimal
results, and to avoid any misuse and possible video head damage,
the following precautionary measures are recommended
|
|
(1) Recommended usage of the AY-DVMCLA or AY-DVCLB is once every
50 hours of recording or playback. More frequent cleaning may
be required depending on temperature, humidity, or dust in the
operating environment. In particular, camcorders and portable
DV decks operated in dusty or smoky environments may need more
attention. Under most circumstances, Cleaning Cassettes should
not be used more frequently than once every 25 hours.
(2) CAUTION: Read the camcorder/VTR operating manual. If the
instructions in the operating manual are different than the
procedures listed in this bulletin, please follow the operating
manual.
(3) To clean, play the DV Cleaning Cassette
for approx. 5 seconds. Then check the result by playing back
a pre-recorded cassette.
(4) If the picture is still not clean, play the DV Cleaning
Cassette again. However, separate each use by 10-second cool-down
periods. DO NOT use the cleaning cassette more than 4 consecutive
times.
(5) If the picture is still not clean after repeated cleaning,
this may be due to other reasons. Service by qualified personnel
is required.
(6) DO NOT rewind the DV Cleaning Cassette tape after each use.
When the cleaning cassette tape has reached its end, DISCARD
IT. The cleaning tape can hold debris and reusing the cleaning
cassette could contaminate the camcorder/VTR.
(7) This DV Cleaning Cassette can be used for approx. 100 head
cleaning passes of 5 seconds each.
(8) DO NOT use the DV Cleaning Cassette more often than necessary.
(9) Frequent use could cause excessive wear to the video heads.
(10) This DV Cleaning Cassette is FOR CLEANING ONLY and cannot
be used for recording or playback. |
