Video head cleaning
Video head clogging
The video heads are the means by
which the DVD/VCR reads the picture
from the tape during playback. In the
unlikely event that the heads become
dirty enough to be clogged, no picture
will be displayed. This can easily be
determined if, during playback of a
known good tape, there is good sound,
but no picture (picture is extremely
snowy). If this is the case, have the
DVD/VCR checked and cleaned by
qualified service personnel.
Notes:
• DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR
SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE REAR COVER.
• Video heads may eventually wear out and should be re-
placed when they fail to produce clear pictures.
• To help prevent video head clogging, use only good qual-
ity VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.
