Video head cleaning
■ Video head clogging
The video heads are the means by which the
DVD/VCR reads the picture from the tape
during playback. In the unlikely event that the
heads become dirty enough to be clogged,
no picture will be displayed. 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,
the DVD/VCR need to check and clean by the
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.
