Built-in Head Cleaner
A clean video head helps produce a clear picture.
So, we have equipped your DECK with a built-in, non
chemical head cleaning system that helps prevent
clogging of the video heads. Cleaning is performed
each time you load or unload a video cassette.
• This feature is preventative only. If your video
heads are seriously clogged, consider the use of
a chemical non-abrasive head cleaning kit or take
your DECK to a Servicenter.
Remove TYPE 2 and 4 discs from their cartridges
before use, then return them when you are finished.
Read the instructions for the disc carefully.
Some parts of the disc, for example where one program
ends and another begins, may not play smoothly.
