VIDEO HEAD CLEANING
The video heads are the means by which the VCR reads pictures from the tape during playback.
In the unlikely event that the heads become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture will be played back.
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 video cassette recorder checked by
qualified service personnel.
If the heads require cleaning, use an Emerson or equivalent high quality chemical non-abrasive (wet) head
cleaning tape or have them cleaned professionally. If playing a head cleaning tape in the VCR once does not
improve the picture, play it several times before requesting service.
