If “T&S&R” has been selected as the setup menu item No.003 setting, “SERVO NOT LOCKED” is displayed on the third line (amount of remaining tape line) of the monitor screen. This appears when there is no head output (due to clogging, etc.) for more than 3 seconds. “L” is displayed on the first line (counter line) of the monitor screen. If “T&S&R” has been selected as the setup menu item No.003 setting, “LOW RF” is displayed on the third line (amount of remaining tape line) of the monitor screen.

The power will be automatically turned off if the fan remains stopped for more than 5 minutes or so.
39 Emergency Eject Procedure for removing the tape manually in an emergency Use the procedure below to remove the cassette tape if it can not be removed even when the EJECT button is pressed. OBefore proceeding to eject the tape manually, you must first turn off the power to the unit. 2 3 4 34 1 5 1 Remove the top panel. 2 Use a Phillips head screwdriver to push in and turn the red plastic screw part counterclockwise. (This screw needs to be rotated about 30 turns before unloading can be started.) 3 Insert the take-up jig (packed with the unit) into the tape ejection slot (on the mechanism side of the VTR), and rotate the flange part (white gear) of the supply reel in the take-up direction to take up the tape slack using the rubber part of the take-up jig. Take care not to damage the tape in any way.4 Once more use the Phillips head screwdriver to push in and turn the red plastic screw part counterclockwise. Again rotate the flange part of the supply reel in the take-up direction to take up the tape slack. This two-step procedure needs to be repeated until the tape is completely housed in the cassette case (about 90 turns of the red plastic screw part). 5 Use the Phillips head screwdriver to turn the red plastic screw part at the slot-in side clockwise to eject the cassette tape. (This screw needs to be rotated through about 140 turns until the tape is ejected.) Take care not to sandwich or catch the tape when closing the cassette cover.
40 Video Head Cleaning 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 enhance the unit’s reliability, it is recommended that the video heads be cleaned every day. Use a cleaning fluid designated by the unit’s manufacturer. Condensation The same principle by which droplets of water form on a window pane of a heated room is responsible for the formation of condensation inside the unit. Condensation occurs in the unit or tape when it is moved from one location to another where there is a significant difference in temperature and humidity. More specifically, it forms: OWhen the unit (or tape) is moved to a very humid location where the air is full of steam, or to a room immediately after it has been heated OWhen the unit (or tape) is abruptly moved from an air-conditioned location to a very warm or very humid location When moving the unit to the kind of location described above, do not turn on its power immediately but leave it standing for about 10 minutes. If condensation has formed inside the unit, an error message (– d –) will light up on the counter display, and the cassette tape will be 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 power cord from the power outlet. Make absolutely sure that you grasp the power plug when disconnecting the power cord. Use a soft cloth to clean the cabinet. To remove stubborn dirt, dilute some kitchen detergent, soak a rag in the solution, wring it out well, and use it to wipe away the dirt. Wipe up any remaining moisture using a dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners or benzine.
