Helpful Hints
If a clear picture is not produced, insert a
commercially available cleaning cassette.
Then, press REC ¥ (¥ REC/OTR) and keep it
running for approximate 10 seconds to clean
the video heads.
If the problem still persists after performing all
of the measures listed above, contact a service
personnel to request assistance.
Heads mainly become dirty because of
scratched or dirty tapes, use of the unit in
places where temperature and humidity are
high, dust in the air and other reasons.
Never use tapes on which juice has been spilt
or those that are extremely damaged since this
will not only cause the heads to become dirty,
but will also make the unit malfunction.

If the video heads get dirty, pictures will not be
recorded or played back clearly.
