Dear Customer
Thank you for purchasing this Panasonic Video
Cassette Recorder.
We strongly suggest that you carefully study
the Operating Instructions before attempting to
operate the VCR, and that you note the listed
precautions.
CVC (Crystal View Control)

The crystal view control function ensures that
you always obtain the optimum picture quality
so that you get the best picture automatically.
While the VCR is turned on, the CVC indication
is always displayed to show that the Crystal
View Control is activated.
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.
The serial number of this product can be
found on the rear panel. No others have the
same serial number as yours. You should
record the number and other vital
information here and retain this book as a
permanent record of your purchase to aid

Cable Connection
Cable-VCR-TV (For CATV/PAY
Channels Recording/Playback)
The VCR has an extended range, and can tune
the Low-Band, Mid-Band, Super-Band, Hyper-
Band, Ultra-Band, and Special cable channels
(Channels A-5–A-1, A–W, AA–FFF, GGG–
WWW, WWWr1–WWWr12, 100–125, 5A).
Also, the VCR can tune to any of the 56 UHF
channels (14–69). Refer to Storing TV
Broadcasts in your VCR on page 13.
BASIC Hook-Up
Since the VCR can tune Mid
and Super Bands, this
connection will provide the
reception of all cable channels
except those which are
intentionally scrambled.
75 ohm Coaxial Cable
However, if you subscribe to a special channel
which is scrambled you will probably have a
descrambler box for proper reception. The VCR
by itself cannot properly receive a scrambled
program since it does not contain a
descrambler. In order for the VCR to properly
receive a scrambled program, your existing
descrambler must be used. There are two
commonly used methods of connection in this
case.
Typical Cable System Hook Ups
with Cable Converter/Descrambler
Boxes
The cable hook-up shown at the bottom left
allows VCR-TV functions except for viewing
one channel while recording another.
The above cable hook-up allows VCR
functions, including viewing one channel while
recording another, but it requires two cable TV
Converter/Descrambler Boxes, one Switch Box
and one 2-Way Splitter.
Since the VCR has an extended range of
tuning, tuning-programing of non-scrambled
Mid-Band and Super-Band TV programs is
possible. When a cable converter or
descrambler box is connected to the VCR,
all timer-controlled recording functions will
continue to operate with the exception of
charging channels automatically. CATV
Channel selection will have to be performed
with the cable converter. Timer-controlled
recording from CATV Channels is therefore
limited to one channel at any given time.

Tuning the TV to your VCR
The VCR supplies a signal to the TV via the RF
coaxial cable on channel US3 or 4.
It is possible to view the video picture on your
TV in the same way that you watch TV
broadcasts.
If you have connected the VCR to the TV
through the video and audio input sockets, then
you do not need to follow the procedure below.
When the VCR is turned on after unpacking
and connecting the antenna cable and the
AC power cord, Plug in Auto Tuning starts
automatically.
The VCR is fitted with its own tuner (just like a
normal TV) and can be preset to receive up to
181 TV broadcast stations.
Plug in Auto Tuning
Auto Tuning searches for TV stations from VHF
minimum to UHF maximum and memorizes
every tuned program position.
Notes:
≥If the VCR is turned on with the antenna not
connected, all channels are skipped.
≥When Auto Tuning is canceled halfway, Auto
Tuning is not executed even if the VCR is
turned off and then turned on again. In this
case, see page 12 “To Restart Plug in Auto
Tuning”.
1Press POWER Í to turn on the TV and VCR
after connecting the antenna cable and the
AC power cord, Auto Tuning starts.

Recording of a TV Program Until
its End

If, during a timer recording performed in the SP
mode, the VCR determines that the remaining
tape time is insufficient to record the program
to its end, the Auto SP/EP Change function
automatically changes the tape speed to EP to
ensure that the whole program will be recorded.
Depending on the remaining tape length,
recording may be performed in the EP mode
from the start. However, if the remaining tape
time is still not sufficient in this case, the
program cannot be recorded to the end.

Avoid places where there is high humidity
or much dust, which may cause damage to
internal parts.
Do Not Obstruct the Ventilation Holes
The ventilation holes prevent abnormal
increases in temperature. Do not block or cover
these holes. Avoid covering the holes with soft
materials such as cloth or paper.
Avoid High Temperature
Keep the VCR away from extreme heat
sources such as direct sunlight, heating
radiators, or closed automobiles.
Avoid Magnets or Magnetized objects
Never bring a magnet or magnetized object
near the VCR as it will adversely affect its
performance of the VCR.
Keep the VCR away from other equipments as
much as possible when using it, to avoid any
adverse effect on performance for both the
VCR and the equipment.
Do Not Place Fingers or Other Objects
Inside
Do not attempt to disassemble the VCR.
Touching internal parts of this VCR is
dangerous, and may cause it serious damage.

sinks, etc. If liquids are spilled into the VCR,
serious damage could occur. If you spill any
liquid into the VCR, consult qualified service
personnel.
Lightning
To avoid damage by lightning, disconnect the
aerial plug from the VCR.
Cleaning the VCR
Wipe the VCR with a clean, dry cloth. Never
use cleaning fluid or other chemicals. Do not
use compressed air to remove any dust.

Helpful Hints
If a clear picture is not produced, insert a
commercially available cleaning cassette.
Then, press REC ¥ (¥ REC/OTR) and keep it
running for approximate 10 seconds to clean
the video heads.
If the problem still persists after performing all
of the measures listed above, contact a service
personnel to request assistance.
Heads mainly become dirty because of
scratched or dirty tapes, use of the unit in
places where temperature and humidity are
high, dust in the air and other reasons.
Never use tapes on which juice has been spilt
or those that are extremely damaged since this
will not only cause the heads to become dirty,
but will also make the unit malfunction.
Dirt on the video heads
If the video heads get dirty, pictures will not be
recorded or played back clearly.
