Video head cleaning
Video head clogging
The video heads are the means by
which the unit reads the picture from
the tape during playback. In the un-
likely event that the heads become
dirty enough to be clogged, no pic-
ture will be played back. This can eas-
ily be determined if, during playback
of a known good tape, there is good
sound, but no picture (picture is ex-
tremely snowy). If this is the case,
have the unit checked 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 replaced
when they fail to produce clear pictures.
• To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality
VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.

Video head cleaning
Video head cleaning is needed when the playback picture
becomes unclear. This signifies that the heads are getting
dirty and can occur when playing poor quality or damaged
tapes. If the heads require cleaning, use a equivalent high
quality chemical non-abrasive (wet) head cleaning tape or
have them cleaned professionally. If playing a head cleaning
tape in the unit once does not improve the picture, play it
several times before requesting service.
