VIDEO HEAD CLEANING
_;_ _"_,_.t._ .M,,,t-_.
_- .'i _ ..,,_.-.
• Picture playback may become blurred or interrupted even though the "IV program received is clear. This does not mean that the recorded program has been erased.
• Dirt accumulation on the head after long periods of use can
cause these problems.
• If high quality video tapes are used in this VCR, the video heads should not normally require 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 picture on the left, while playing back a tape, the heads may
require cleaning.
eTo clean the heads, obtain a head cleaning tape from your local
video dealer. Be sure to follow the instructions that come with the cleaning tape, as excessive use can shorten head life.
