Panasonic NV-HD650 VHS Video Service and Remote Repair

We clean the heads with a piece of paper soaked in e.g. ipa. We put it on the drum and rotate the drum with the heads.

I recommend removing the auto head cleaner when servicing one of these (if present) - that will damage the drum. The last Panasonic to use the Z-Mechanism was the NV-FJ600A and was also one of their first VCR's to feature Super LP. 😇 Panasonic did make a NV-HD650 but it used a K-Mechanism and the casing was black/dark grey in colour. Made in Japan = quality back then. 😎
