2.2. REMOVAL OF CASSETTE TAPE
There are 2 ways to remove a cassette tape.
1. Service Information Display Operation A. Press the FF and EJECT keys simultaneosly for 3 seconds and set the Service Mode 7. B. Press STOP key in order to rotate the Loading Motor for unloading operation. (Pay an attention of tape slack) 2. Manual Operation A. Disconnect the AC Mains Lead and remove the Top Panel. B. Rotate the Main Cam Gear clockwise until the Loading Posts move to fully unloaded position as shown in Fig. S10. (Tape is remaining)

Fig. S10

C. Rotate the Capstan Motor clockwise from the bottom side to take up the tape.

Fig. S11

D. Rotate the Main Cam Gear clockwise until the cassette tape is ejected.
2.3. INTRODUCTION OF VIDEO HEAD CLEANING CASSETTE / (POLISHING TYPE)
1. We are pleased to introduce Panasonic Video Head Cleaning Cassette, VFK0923FT [for service purposes] and VFK0923FSE [ for end users] for all VHS/SVHS VCP and VCR. 2. These cleaning cassettes are exclusive removing the hard and sticky clogging on video heads. 3. These improve the efficiency of video head cleaning service and shortening cleaning time for end users.
VFK0923FT (For Service usage) Type of Cassette Full VHS Cassette Cleaning Time 10 Seconds/Time Tape Length 20 m Usability in a Path 180 Times
VFK0823FSE (For end users) Type of Cassette Full VHS Cassette Cleaning Time 10 Seconds/Time Tape Length 3.34 m Usability in a Path 30 Times
The tape material itself is the same in both types.
2.4. SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULT DISPLAY
The "SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULT DISPLAY & MEMORY function is built in this VTR. It means that when the VCR detects undesirable condition, it can be displayed a Error code (Two numbers from the left) with Service Mode 2. Since the "Error code" is stored in the EEPROM, it can be displayed although after disconnected the AC leads. It can be displayed with Service Mode 2. (If a second error had been detected, only the most recent error is displayed. ) For more details, refer to the Service Manual for Z-Mechanism Chassis Order number VRD9612M129.
INDICATION CAUSE 01 After cylinder lock is detected, the cylinder does not start rotating again even after tape unloading. 02 Cassette tape is not wound up during the tape unloading except EJECT mode. 03 Mechanism locks during mode transition except EJECT mode. 07 Mechanism locks during tape unloading. Mechanism locks after tape unloading in EJECT mode. During recording mode, recording signal is less than the normal condition. Recording circuit works except recording mode. Cylinder lock detection. Supply reel mechanism lock detection Take-up reel mechanism lock detection PG shifter automatic adjustment error.

Hints: If [Clock setting] is set to [AUTO] when you open the Clock screen, do not set it to [MAN.], otherwise, the automatic time correcting function is deactivated.

When [Clock setting] is set to [AUTO], the automatic time correction function checks and if necessary adjusts the time several times every day. The automatic time correction function only works when the VCR is switched off; it does not work in the timer recording standby mode. If [Clock setting] is set to [MAN.] and [Power save] to [ON] (see page 18), the time may not be maintained correctly. In this case, manually adjust the clock.
