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 cloging. 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.
