Video Head Cleaning
The video heads enable the VCR to read video
information pictures from the tape during
playback. In the unlikely event that the heads
become clogged with dirt video playback will
be impossible. This can easily be determined
during playback of a known good tape, there
is good sound, but the picture is extremely
snowy. If this is the case, have the video cassette
recorder checked by qualifi ed service personnel.
NOTES:
During normal operation of the VCR, the
video and audio heads can accumulate
dirt over a period of time, especially when
using an old or poor quality tape. When
the heads are dirty, the picture can get
snowy and the tracking control will have
little or no effect. If this condition occurs,
head cleaning cartridges may take care of
the problem and restore normal picture.
We recommend that head cleaning
cartridges be used sparingly since they
are very abrasive and can damage the
video heads during prolonged use. If the
problem is not resolved with the head
cleaning cartridge then the unit needs
to be checked by a qualifi ed service
personnel.
