VIDEO HEAD CLEANING
VIDEO HEAD CLOGGWG
Tlie video hoods are the means by wtiich the VCP feeds pictuues from the tape dufirtg playback.
1r the unlikely event that they become dirty enough to be dogged, ne picture wi!l be piayback. This can easily he detenriined if, during
playback ot a knawn good tape, ttiere fs good sound, but the pictufe is extremely soo^. If this is the case, the video cassette
player checked by qualified service personnel.
VIDEO HEAD CI£AN1NG
Dufirg normal operaiian of ihe VtP, the video and audio heads can gel dirty over a period of time, especiaily when using an old of poor
quality tape. When the heads are dirty the picture can get soowy and the tracking cbntroi will not adjust ttie snuw out of the pictune. If
this conditirin occurs, head cleaning cartridges may take care of this problem and restore normal picture. We recommend that head
cleaning cartridges be used sparingly duo
with the head cleaning cartridge then the unit needs to be checked by a qualified service personnel.
NOTE: Video heads niay everiiuDily wear out and should be feplaced when they fail to reproduce claar pictures. To help prevent videe head
dogging, use only good qusiity WtS tapes. Discard worn out tapes
IP the fact that they can be very abrasive ta the video heads. If the problem is not resolved
