Panasonic Palmcorder PalmSight PV-L557 - Before Requesting Service (cont.); Video Head Cleaning; Auto-Reset Function

Before Requesting Service
Canine Care for Video Heads
(a) Video Head Cleaning: Your Palmcorder will not normally
require head cleaning; however, it is possible that the heads may
become clogged when playing an old or damaged tape. If the
image on your screen resembles the photograph on the left while
playing back a tape, the heads may require cleaning.
(b) Cleaning the Heads: it is recommended that head cleaning be
performed by a qualified service technician. Please contact your
Clogged Video Head nearest Panasonic Service Center. An alternate solution is to
obtaln a head cleaning cassette. There are many types of cleaning
cassettes, so be sure to follow the cleaning instructions carefully.
Excessive use of the cleaning cassette could shorten head life.
Use this cassette only when a head clogging symptom occurs.
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
Auto-Reset
The Palmcorder, provided no tape is inserted, will reset the Backlight, High Speed
Shutter and Focus to their AUTO or OFF modes if, after activation, none of these buttons
are pressed within 5 minutes.
