Video head cleaning
Video head clogging
The video heads are the means by
which the unit 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
played back. This can easily be deter-
mined 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 unit need to check
and clear by the qualified service per-
sonnel.
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.

Video head cleaning
Video head cleaning is needed when the playback picture
becomes unclear. This signifies that the heads are getting dirty
and can occur when playing poor quality or damaged tapes. If
the heads require cleaning, use a equivalent high quality chemical
non-abrasive (wet) head cleaning tape or have them cleaned
professionally. If playing a head cleaning tape in the unit once
does not improve the picture, play it several times before
requesting service.
